Thou Shalt Steal...

"No one can enter the strong man's house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house." ~ Mark 3:27

We live in a world where many men, women, and children are surrounded by lions... except for those who are lions. Those lions demand, from a people more righteous, food when they're hungry, shelter when the sun is too hot, fire when the air is too cold, clean water when they are thirsty, and entertainment when they are bored. You see, the lions are those who benefit greatest from the land and through capitalism - where there are more people than jobs, and where there is no democracy. The lions are those whose hearts are set on business and not on one another. Yahweh has assured Himself that He will separate the lions from the innocent, and the innocent will drink from a river that never stops flowing.

People are forced into corners and are beaten by the rods of policemen when they try to leave those corners by force. Many people will quickly say, "It's wrong for the poor to steal from the wealthy", but those same people never say, "It's wrong for the wealthy to steal from the poor." You see, this land belongs to the poor as much as it does to the wealthy - and the wealthy take it all by force, leaving the poor nothing but 'donations'. It's why one of those foul mouthed Hebrews said, "Yahweh enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people, 'It is you who have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses. What do you mean by crushing My people and grinding the face of the poor?' Declares Yahweh, God of hosts." ~ Isaiah 3:14-15

You have thousands of children who die everyday because of starvation, and a thousand mothers who cry for them. When those women seek justice, and NEVER find it, tell me, what should they do? Should they wait for your next monthly donation? Should they keep crying as they watch their children turn into bones? Should they walk through the trash dumps forever looking for your scraps of food? I continually remind myself of Africa's burdens.

Yahweh said to me, "The days are coming when I will play a lovely tune in Africa, and the US Military will be attracted to this music and will violently enter the African borders. They will shake the foundations of the continent, and they will destroy the high walls and the oppressors. At that time, I will say to the poor, "Thou Shalt Steal!" And the poor will plunder the land, and will take back that which belongs to them."

I said to Yahweh, "Please remember the truth. The grounds of Africa did not become so impoverished solely by its own power. The land has been raped by nations far and wide, including the nation who will subdue it."

As I wait for Yahweh’s response, "I will stand on my guard post and station myself on the rampart; and I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me." ~ Habakkuk 2:1
