After looking at these two American Thinker articles, here and here, this writer has come to the only conclusion possible ..... that the continuing corruption within our government is ongoing (and has been ongoing for quite some time). It's all about the abuse and misuse of power our government officials have been granted within the framework of the Constitution (see article).Regarding the oaths of office that Federal officials take, it's interesting to note that "The Constitution is quite clear on one aspect of the oath: "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." And yet every oath except the Presidential one -- which is explicitly detailed in the Constitution -- now ends with "So help me God" (see article).
After seeing the ongoing corruption in our government lately, perhaps a "religious Test" should be required. And if that test and a Federal official's oath of office is violated (by substantiated evidence), that public official should be immediately terminated.
From the scriptures we know when God's saturation point is reached (His degree or measure of tolerance for those committing sin - Acts 14:16; 17:30). When God's cup of wrath becomes "filled up" ...... His judgmental wrath will be “poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation” (Revelation 14:10), no longer diluted with mercy or longsuffering which had been offered by the gospel (Revelation 14:6; Revelation 18:1-10; cf. Galations 6:14-16; 1 Peter 2:9-10; 2 Peter 3:1-9).
See article here regarding the phrase, "to fill up the measure of their sins."
Beloved, there's a biblical solution to corruption on a wide scale. In fact, the Bible has solutions to every problem that man will ever face. The question is, are we willing to implement these solutions?
