Thus says the Lord, ‘Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens although the nations are terrified by them;’

The word ‘nations’ in that verse is also translated throughout the Old Testament scriptures as ‘goy, people, gentiles’—in other words, unbelievers!

From the beginning the Lord made it clear that the people of God are to follow what Jesus called the ‘foremost command’ and to: “Hear, O Israel! The Lord (YHWH) our God, the Lord is one! And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart;” {Dt.6:4-6}

But please note that the command continues on to say:
….“and you shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.” {Dt.6:7} And of course, the Word commands that parents train up their children in the way they should go! {Prov.22:6}

When we put the children of God on school buses to take them to the government schools, PS 121, (or wherever) we are just sending them back to Egypt to the place of bondage where the Lord did so many amazing miracles to get them out and set His people free! We all have to be prayerful not to do the same thing, we have been commanded not to travel the world’s ways rather than the path of righteousness. {Ps.25:4}

Please, before you respond (out loud or otherwise) remember what I have so often said: “Excuses are the fiery arrows shot from the pits of hell to kill repentance!” If we do not deal with sin, whatever is evil, God will deal with us!

As the apostle Paul wrote, we are not to be bound together with unbelievers because what does a believer have in common with unbelievers? {2Cor.6:14-15} Certainly not the account of creation for example! That worldly school near you is not even allowed, actually forbidden by law as a matter of fact, to tell your children that “All things came into being through Him (Jesus), and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” {Jn.1:3} Rather, that is God’s children being sent off to the world to learn a lie—which comes from the father of lies himself!

We all, father, mother and children, must walk and live in the freedom that was paid for, not by the battlefields of war that have plagued man’s existence ever since Cain killed Abel, but by the blood of the Lamb shed on a little hill just outside the walls of Jerusalem. We must all hear and obey…

“So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, if you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” (John 8:31-32)
