History is cyclical, nothing
is truly new, and the capacity of men and women outside of Christ for evil, self-involvement and delusional thinking is no
different today than millennia ago. That’s not what progressives teach, but it’s reality.
God repeats the same
lessons to mankind generation after generation after generation, but the penny
never drops.
In the seventh century
B.C., Isaiah watched, warned and wrote about a nation at the end of its
civilizational cycle. What he saw was not pretty, and it looks alarmingly
familiar to those watching our own culture circle the drain.
Fin de siècle
What features
characterize the tail end of a civilization?
Let’s see: unfit rulers,
oppression of the public by their fellow citizens,
insolence,
men unwilling to lead,
women who have no problem replacing them,
counselors who can’t counsel and the relentless
strip-mining of assets from average households for the benefit of the ruling elite.
Oh, and the final
stroke is unabashed slut-walking. Probably the less said about that the better.
Feminize. Neuter. Alienate.
What comes next for body-obsessed,
mincing, haughty, wanton women? Well, it doesn’t work out quite the way they
thought it would:
“Your men shall fall by the sword and your mighty men in battle.”
That “evil patriarchy”
of which feminists and their enablers on the Left are trying so desperately to
rid us is actually any civilization’s only practical protection from external predation.
It was so for Judah, and it is so today.
You can take men out
of the picture any number of ways. In Isaiah’s day, they were killed off in
battle. But you can do it just as effectively by neutering, feminizing, disincentivizing or otherwise
alienating them. Metrosexuals, would-be-women, couch potatoes and “men going
their own way” make a remarkably ineffective bulwark for a culture under siege
from without and within.
Seven Women, One Man
What happens when women find themselves desperately in need of protection, and there are insufficient numbers left to do the protecting?
“And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, ‘We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach.’ ”
Let’s just say this doesn’t end well for
anybody. And it may not be the last time.
