I was listening to the Bible on CD and I heard something I've never heard before. It was kind of shocking actually, because I wasn't expecting it, and I've never heard it preached. In Isaiah 32, he's describing what it will be like when Jesus rules.
What I think it's saying is that when Jesus comes back, some people who act like that will be calling themselves liberal and he'll put a stop to them calling themselves that (because they are liars)
There are some people who do act like that, that do call themselves liberal. If that was to literally happen right now, it is actually possible that it could. I don't think it's saying it's bad to be liberal, but that those kind of people Isaiah is describing are decieving people and calling themselves that.
I'm amazed because it describes the atheists and people who don't believe in God as liberals (as in speak error against the Lord) and they do call themselves liberal.
I'm not posting this to offend any democrats honestly, but I mean, I find it very interesting, as in :O.
Any thoughts? Is the left = Liberal and Right = Conservative accepted all over the world?
Isaiah 32
1Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
2And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
4The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
