The only national laws at the end of the age is no law.

“Law is in every culture, religious in origin. Because law governs man and society, because it establishes and declares the meaning of justice and righteousness, law is inescapably religious, in that it establishes in practical fashion the ultimate concerns of a culture.” Rushdooney
I am not, what one might consider, a political person. Obviously I pay attention to politics and what is going on in current events; we are after all told by Jesus to watch and to pray. In the watching, one will have to ask and answer questions that are political in nature. Needless to say, this quote got me thinking.
The aforementioned quote is from a class I’m taking on the kingdom of God. What is worth writing here, in my opinion, is that I believe America is on the verge of moral collapse as it concerns the national sentiment of established law and order. I pray and hope that in the place of the church this will be found an untrue statement. However, liberal politics are moving very quickly toward abolishment of law altogether. How can I say this?? Because liberalism is moving very rapidly, and has been for some decades, towards the abolishment of the idea of God. In it’s subjective nature, liberalism is whittling away at the idea of bounderies. The guidelines for what is acceptable are as blurry as they have ever been. We, as a nation, are losing all and any knowledge of objective truth. Ethics, it seems, are no longer relevant.
Law, because of its concrete religious foundations, is going to change into no law as soon as liberalism has it’s ultimate way. Does this souond familiar?? Have you read Psalm 2 lately?? What people are about these days is the casting off of any and all restraint, i.e. law. God has clearly established boundary lines in all forms of social dynamics and we as humans, apart from God, seek and strive to get out of those boundaries. This is in essence, original sin. It’s rebellion against God’s leadership. God makes a law and sets it in the conscience of man and man then has two options, rebel or ask God for help in walking in that law. Adam’s sin in the garden was that he ate of the tree which God commanded him not to eat of, but Adam’s sin began before that, when he didn’t ask God for help to not eat of it.
The only national laws at the culmination of this age are the laws that encourage lawlessness. As soon as unbelievers realize that God establishes bounds for us by establishing kings and rulers and judges over us then it is inevitable that we will abolish all law that has anything to do with anything in the Bible. It will be a lawless age with a lawless leader. And so we watch and we pray, that we might not be decieved with the coming of the lawless one. Stay awake friends!
