The Mighty Fallen

How the mighty have fallen! ‘Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines be glad, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised rejoice. 2Samuel1:19,20NIV

All state schools in Scotland will be supported to teach LGBTI equality and inclusion across different age groups and subjects, according to the Scottish government. This includes an understanding of LGBTI terminology and identities and recognising and understanding homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. BBC News 10 Nov 2018

At one time, not so very long ago, Scotland was known as a country of the Bible. A Bible believing nation built and sustained by the precepts as laid down in the Holy Scriptures. Of course there were exceptions, but in general, the church held the people to a high standard as understood by the Bible. Now, some decades later the words of 2nd Samuel ring so true. “How the mighty have fallen” says it so well, and I believe we are in the death throes to extinction and oblivion. Strong words you think? Tell me how.

Just as it was in the Old Testament, so it is today. The prophet didn’t want the neighbouring districts of Gath and Ashkelon to know how far Israel had fallen, why? Because they were embarrassed at the depth of the fall. It was true then, and it is true again today. Read the BBC report and quietly weep.

Scotland has pulled off a first, because no other country in the world does this, or has gone so far to appease the Stonewall gay community. Your children and grandchildren in Primary School will be introduced in word and graphic image of the LGBTI life and lifestyle. This is to make it easier for your 6 to 11 year olds to decide if they really are a boy or a girl, or indeed anything else in between. Instead of playing games in the park or street, or running around with your pals, these young minds and bodies will instead be grappling with the insane and unnatural world of homosexuality, and whether or not their birth certificate has the correct gender recorded.

This once proud Scot is now ashamed of the nation of his birth, and just like the days of old, instead of Gath and Ashkelon, I don’t want my neighbouring nations to know what our own government has done. Sadly, it may be more true to say that we, the people, are responsible for not standing up against it when we saw it coming. Our grandchildren will not thank us, and they will rightly wonder why we did nothing. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a good answer for that question. Lord, help me, and my nation!
