Where is the Justice?

It's a sad day in the United States of America. We mourn the loss of Alton Sterling, victim of a police shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We mourn the loss of Philando Castile, victim of a police shooting in St. Paul, Minnesota. And we grieve for the injured and slain police officers in the sniper shooting in Dallas, Texas. It has been a horrific week of senseless killings in America. As we mourn the loss of these men, I ask one simple question: Where's the Justice? Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were two African-American men who (based on the video footage and limited eye witness reports) did not deserve to die at the hands of the police officers who killed them. Then you have to raise the Justice question for the police officers who got shot and killed in Dallas. As far as we know, they didn't do anything wrong. We definitely know they had nothing to do with the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile; therefore they didn't deserve to be shot at and killed in the midst of a "peaceful" protest march. So once again, Where Is the Justice?

Saints, whether what I'm about to say is "politically correct" or not, as the people of God, we need to know what time it is. What we are witnessing is the unfolding of the Judgment of God in America. I know people don't like to hear that, even in the church, but the truth is the Light. We are witnessing the Judgment of God in America; and let me assure you, unless and until America repents, it's not going to get better, it's actually going to get worse. We need to recognize the Hand of God in the various events of tragedy that are unfolding in our nation.

Now let's try to put this in context. Am I saying that God is responsible for the deaths of the two African-American men and the police officers in Dallas? No I am not. So we ask the question again, Where is the Justice? The Justice (Judgment) System of God is different than man's. We tend to think of justice on an "individualized" basis. There is a place for that in the Economy of God, but that's not how He primarily operates when it comes to the Judgment (Justice) of a nation. God deals on the basis of what is called Federal Representation. The scriptures break this concept down in Romans chapter 5. No one dies strictly based upon their own sinfulness, we've inherited the sinfulness of Adam (Romans 5). And nobody is going to Heaven based on their own goodness; we're all going to Heaven based upon the Goodness of Jesus on our behalf (Justification, Romans 5). So you see that the Justice (Judgment) of God is not contingent strictly upon the sins of the individual, it's who the individual is associated with and represented by. 

When it comes to the Judgment of nations the principle is similar. God is not just looking at what "individuals" do in reference to His Will, He's looking at Federal (or national) Representation. I've said it before and I want to say it again; one of the biggest mistakes this nation could've made was when we passed federal legislation for the national legalization of same-sex marriage. Whether people want to admit it or not or whether they understand it or not, that legal slap in God's Face brought about the Judgment of God on America. And you have to understand about the Judgment of God, it's not always swift, but it's always sure (Ecclesiastes 8). Therefore, more and more, you're going to see more incidents of this nature (don't forget Orlando, Florida). So what's the remedy? America has to repent, starting with the President of the United States. Don't be surprised if you start to hear problems with President Obama. Yes, we sympathize, but we need to know what time it is.

Where is the Justice? Justice will be found amongst the people once we execute the Justice of God. Where's the Justice? We'll see civil justice restored when Divine Justice is restored to this nation and our society in regards to the Divine Will of God for this country. Where is the Justice? Justice will be restored in the streets when government officials and clergy and community leaders repent and say we were wrong about same-sex marriage, we were wrong about transgender rights, we submit to the Divine Will of God. When God receives the Justice He's due AS GOD, He will Providentially release the civil justice that everyone in this country is looking for.
