'Women Rule Over Them' - Isaiah 3:12

British activist Emmeline Pankhurst traveled constantly, giving speeches throughout Britain and the United States. One of her most famous speeches, Freedom or death, was delivered in Connecticut in 1913.


by Leonard V. Johnson

I was 10-years old when Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Since that time I have always felt that it would be highly likely that the United States of America would at some point have a female president. Of the four remaining – and predominantly – Ephraim-descended nations (the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) all have had not only a queen – but they have had the same queen. And all have already had a woman as prime minister.

Now, a prime minister is a chief executive officer in a parliamentary governmental system. As far as the USA goes, back in June 2008 when Hillary Rodham Clinton was running for president against Barack Hussein Obama, they both went out of their way to hold a long-awaited private meeting in a very specific location – not at Hillary’s getaway mansion in Washington, D.C. – but in Northern Virginia, which also just happened to be the location of the ’08 Bilderberg meeting. And I remember seeing for myself on the television, Hillary coming out of the meeting, putting her hands up, and quits her run as a presidential hopeful. 1 So, because of that meeting and the huge influence that the Bilderberg Group has on this world, it was a real possibility that Hillary Clinton would be president after four years. However, she was made U.S. secretary of state in the Obama Administration from 2009-2013. In 2016 Clinton made another run towards the presidency but Almighty God (in my opinion) wasn’t having it – and surely Satan the devil’s head was spun around!

As most of my fellow Americans are aware, Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic Party candidate for the office of United States President, has announced his choice for a vice president – Kamala Harris. And this brings to mind the following Scripture from God’s living word – the Holy Bible:
“’ As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths’” – Isaiah 3:12; NKJV throughout, unless otherwise noted.
Friends, the above passage is pointing towards utter disaster. Now, it’s not that male leaders cannot lead a nation to disaster – because they certainly can. But also notice the following – which does not mention a gender:
“For the people DO NOT turn to Him [Almighty God the Father] who strikes them, Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts [Jesus Christ]. … 16) For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed” – Isaiah 9:13, 16.
Now, in the United States of America, since April 30th, 1789 there has always been a male president. In fact, the USA had a president which chose NOT to enforce the federal Defense of Marriage Act, and then later publicly supported homosexual "marriage" along with other aspects of the LGBTQ agenda.

But, what of this Kamala Harris!? Well, apparently, the greatest criteria were that the candidate be female and a “person of color,” along with being pro-abortion (or rather pro-death) and opposing all biblical views of sexual immorality.

Here is some information on Kamala Harris:
WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris, a first-term senator and former California attorney general known for her rigorous questioning of President Donald Trump’s nominees, entered the Democratic presidential race on Monday. Vowing to “bring our voices together,” Harris would be the first woman to hold the presidency and the second African-American if she succeeds.

Harris, a daughter of immigrant parents who grew up in Oakland, California, is one of the earliest high-profile Democrats to join what is expected to be a crowded field. She made her long-anticipated announcement on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

“I am running for president of the United States,” she said. “And I’m very excited about it.”

The 54-year old portrayed herself as a fighter for justice, decency, and equality in a video distributed by her campaign as she announced her bid. “They’re the values we as Americans cherish, and they’re all on the line now,” Harris says in the video. “The future of our country depends on you and millions of others lifting our voices to fight for our American values.”

Harris launched her presidential bid as the nation observes what would have been the 90th birthday of the slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The timing was a clear signal that the California senator – who has joked that she had a “stroller’s-eye view” of the civil rights movement because her parents wheeled her and her sister Maya to protests – sees herself as another leader in that fight.

She abandoned the formality of launching an exploratory committee, instead of going all-in on a presidential bid.

She plans a formal campaign launch in Oakland on Jan. 27. The campaign will be based in Baltimore, with a second office in Oakland.

Harris joins what is expected to be a wide-open race for the Democratic presidential nomination. There’s no apparent front-runner at this early stage and Harris will face off against several Senate colleagues.

Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York have both launched exploratory committees.

So, notice that she wants to fight for “American values.” Our nation's American values used to include decent biblical moral values. But now American values have shifted more towards liberal attitudes on a huge number of social and moral issues all across the age spectrum – not just among young people. The largest moral shift has been the cultural attitudes towards the LBGTQ agenda. And, 72% of Americans say the state of moral values is getting worse in this country rather than better. 2 As the article states, “All cultural shifts have consequences.” So, is Kamala Harris talking about her moral stances when she says “fight for our American values”!? Because these moral values are not mine:
Pro-Death

Since her election to the Senate, Harris has maintained a 100% rating by the pro-choice Planned Parenthood Action Fund and a 0% rating by the pro-life National Right to Life Committee. She has laid out a broad platform to protect abortion rights. 3

Death Penalty

As a Democratic presidential candidate, Ms. Harris released plans outlining her vision for criminal justice reform and how to “stand up for Black America.” And ending the death penalty. 4
Also, notice the following from a 2017 article from the Los Angeles Blade:
Harris has a staunchly pro-LGBT record. As California attorney general, she declined to defend California’s ban on same-sex marriage Proposition 8 in court. When the U.S. Supreme Court restored marriage equality to California, she officiated at the wedding of Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, the first same-sex wedding after the ruling, and instructed clerks to marry same-sex couples seeking a license with “no exceptions.”

But – tisk tisk – back in 2015 on behalf of her state she withheld gender reassignment surgery for two transgender inmates! Oh mercy me, I do declare, I have the vapors!

So, it appears that in order to even think about running as a Democrat for president or vice president of the United States of America – one must condone (under any circumstance) the murdering of unborn babies as well as the gauntlet of sexual immoralities that God Almighty condemns (cf. Romans 1:18-32). His living word points to grave problems with immoral leaders – irrespective of gender.

The prophet Isaiah wrote also – under the divine inspiration of God’s Spirit –
“The look on their countenance witnesses against them, And they declare their sin as Sodom; They DO NOT HIDE IT. Woe to their soul! For they have brought evil upon themselves” – Isaiah 3:9.
And, it made me think of a passage in Isaiah 59.
“Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. 2) But your iniquities [your sins] have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. 3) For your hands are defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue has muttered perversity. 4)No one calls for justice, Nor does any plead for truth. They trust in [vanity] and speak lies; They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity. … 6) Their webs will not become garments, Nor will they cover themselves with their works; Their works are works of iniquity, And the act of violence is in their hands. 7) Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths. 8) The way of peace they have not known, And there is no [judgment] in their ways; They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace. 9) Therefore justice [or judgment] far from us, Nor does righteousness overtake us; We look for light, but there is darkness! For brightness, but we walk in blackness! 10) We grope for the wall like the blind, And we grope as if we had no eyes; We stumble at noonday as at twilight; We are as dead men in desolate places. 11) We all growl like bears, And moan sadly like doves; We look for justice [or judgment], but there is none; For salvation, but it is far from us. 12) For our transgressions are multiplied before You, And our sins testify against us; For our transgressions are with us, And as for our iniquities, we know them: 13) In transgressing and lying against the LORD, And departing from our God, Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 14) [Judgment] is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street, And equity [fairness] cannot enter. 15) So truth fails, …”
And just as a way of reminder, he says in verse 17 – GOD’S VENGEANCE!

Verse 18 – “According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, Fury to His adversaries, Recompense to His enemies; …”

Now, to all the people who are waiting on the human government to solve the problems of mankind, you have a very frustrating pursuit ahead of you! Because as long as mankind is in charge of passing judgment, that judgment and that justice will be highly flawed, highly disruptive, highly ineffective. And in the end, the only place – the only source – from which judgment and justice will flow will be from the throne of God and the throne of Jesus Christ – in the Kingdom of God! In this day and age, you’re not going to get it! And I don’t care of what side of what issue you are on or not on – or what sentiment you had (or still have) in which you want revenge - in which your heart was and is in that homegrown terror Black Lives Matter group – you’re never going to find the peace that you want! And for those of you who thought – all of those other people were wrong and evil – you’re never going to be satisfied. If you’re looking to human beings, and if you’re looking to humankind, you will NEVER have your sense of peace be given to you. Your sense of justice will never arrive. Because mankind is incapable – in his present form – of rendering justice and truth. It just will never happen.

Instead, let’s rely on God and always seek His kingdom and righteousness.

Let us pray – 1st Timothy 2:1-3. □
