“The nations fall into the pit they dig; in the snare they hide, their own foot is caught... by the deeds they do the wicked are trapped.”
Psalm 9:16
Afghanistan has fallen into the evil hands of the Taliban. As news reports abound about Christians, Americans, Afghan and other allies being tortured and stranded in Afghanistan, tens of thousands are being held under siege, even as I write this. I shudder to think what the beloved, benevolent people of that country are experiencing, and will experience, at the hands of the Taliban and Muslim extremist despots. Christians and woman and girls in particular are being handed over and sold into tyranny. Meanwhile, President Biden has the military standing down, and foolishly places his trust in, and negotiates with, evil ‘leaders’ of the top three most untrustworthy diabolical, terrorist organizations in the world: The Taliban, ISIS and Al Qaeda.
“You make us the reproach of our neighbors,
the mockery and scorn of those around us.
You make us a byword among the nations;
the peoples shake their heads at us…
Psalm 44:14-18
Enabled Enemies, Lost Allies
Watching this chaotic, feckless, poorly executed, failed evacuation of Afghanistan has been incredibly painful for compassionate people of sensibility everywhere. Whether or not you think we should have ever gone into Afghanistan or not is absolutely immaterial now. The long term and present ramifications of this tyrannical takeover debacle are many—and will be felt and viewed for decades to come by all the world, both in the US and internationally, thereby eradicating our reputation as the leader of the free world. Other countries have denounced the US as they look on helplessly, praying for some sort of resolution. Some countries, recognizing that the US is impotent at this time, are even coming and assisting in the unprecedented evacuation of their own:
“For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears turned to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against evildoers.”
1 Peter 3:12
US President Joe Biden is partnering with the evil Taliban and the likes, pathologically ignoring the evil that lurks within, and fomenting the pervasive torment they are already inflicting on Christians and others across that country, thereby endangering the world.. At this point, there is no way out to salvage many of the lives caught in the crossfire—or our country’s reputation--as we have fallen into the pit our President has dug for us by trading absolute evil for sensibility…It is undeniable that this sitting president is responsible for hat is transpiring…and the genie cannot be put back into the bottle.
“Those who call evil good, and good evil,
who change darkness to light, and light into darkness…”
Isaiah 5:20
As the world watches on, and global condemnation of this godless, cold exit “plan” ensues, we must recognize that from elections to nation building, there are always consequences for our actions--and leadership world-status can be fleeting. Condemnation continues to pour in from our allies, and the international community at-large. Our enemies are preparing to pounce on our country due to the ineptitude of abysmal leadership. In essence, the world is watching intently as we swiftly hand Afghanistan over to the evil of the Taliban, et al. They stand front and center in wait as this orchestrated, rapidly rising, failed handover unravels. Meanwhile, our compromised, demented President—the man whom most know is fully incapable of leading due to dementia and legendary poor judgement on every level, must accept national and international condemnation. And the subsequent, impending Taliban torture and global economic fallout commence, as the dust settles on the backs of frightened, trapped Americans, and the good Afghan people struggling right now in Afghanistan. Yes—the blame is well-earned, and rests squarely on this President’s cowardly shoulders. In all of this chaos and torment, one can only ask: How long, Lord?
“When you hear of wars and reports of wars do not be alarmed; such things must happen, but it will not yet be the end. 8 Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes from place to place and there will be famines. These are the beginnings of the labor pains.”
Mark 13:6-8
To see the US pull out of Afghanistan in such a haphazard, careless, heartless way is truly a travesty. This country’s fall, it’s tribulation, is being well-documented by news reports, and especially via iconic photos tell the story like no words possibly could. A picture really does say a thousand words. But make no doubt about it; it is not the military making the decisions in all of this. Rather, it is, by design, the cold, sick judgement of our Commander in Chief, President Joe Biden and the White House—the very one who just months ago disbanded the Commission implemented by his predecessor to ensure a safe and complete transfer of power to the Afghanistan government and people.
“The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 But my Lord laughs at them,
because he sees that their day is coming.”
Psalm 37:12-13
These treasonous acts of President Joe Biden have purposely unleashed torment upon trapped Americans and the Afghan people, especially Christian woman and girls. This has enabled and heralded the unnecessary killing and torture of many, in particular Christians, who are enduring murderous house-to-house Taliban searches for them right now. For God will never sit back and allow evil to pursue His faithful and let them go unscathed…Rather, He will judge them swiftly and condemn them for their evil deeds.
“Fear God and give him glory, for his time has come to sit in judgment…”
Rev 14:6-8
But make no mistake… God is in control. He will make a way when there seems to be no way. Rivers in the desert…He will judge the world as only He can, and He will avenge, lift up, and ultimately, eternally save those who fall at the hands of such ruthlessness. I believe that God’s heart breaks for the many good souls left behind in Afghanistan, and He gives eternal glory to those martyrs who suffer dearly on His behalf. We serve a loving, mighty God, who has little tolerance for the callous evil acts of men. The blood of the faithful, and God’s condemnation, are on the hands and heads of those responsible.
Ever-present to those who seek Him in earnest, God blesses all who serve Him with gifts of grace, discernment, guidance, protection, and peace that surpasses understanding. He grants eternal life to those who endure and strive to thwart evil. But for those who work to utilize and legitimize the services of evil? Heaven help them all…They are on their own…
