What we REALLY and TRULY need to KNOW as Christians of the third millenium after our Lord Jesus Christ, is the legal profession is corrupt as it ever has been! Amos 5:13. It has been known as such for thousands of years! It requires knowledge, more than skill, and a lot of courage and tenacity to persue a matter! A trusted lawyer, is very hard to find, and no matter how good the merits of a case may appear, one has to prepare for the legal tricks of the corrupt!
If not fully on our guard and educated to know the where, when, and how the corrupt take advantage to steal properties, legacies, take over businessess, and milk Legal Aid, we could be setting ourselves up for great disapointment upon getting married, setting up a trust, buying a property, or making a last will and testament!
Quite apart from the aforementioned being four major occasions in everyone’s life the legal profession has had centuries to gain mastery in, there is a group in society that truly believes evil is good, and good is evil! Isaiah 5:20. If not careful to check the credentials of people we do business with, or trust to take advice from, we could end up in trouble! As a rule, free advice from large banking and financial institutions must be avoided. Many have trusted big names in the financial world, and regretted it! If it is free, be careful. There will be a reason for offering free advice, and more often than not, the reason is not disclosed!
Preying on the unsuspecting elderly, big banking corporates deceive old people daily! Deceived by impressive brochures, their trusting clients have their trust abused, and the niave will pay the consequences of not doing a due diligence to seek truly trustworthy counsel. When things do go wrong in the workplace, or elsewhere in the world, you will discover the next level of corruption, in the actual courts of law!
The Criminal Justice System works to delay and postpone justice, causing the victims of crime ongoing stress, pain and suffering. Without “lawyers lifting a finger to ease the burdens”, Luke 11:46, we must understand in a just society adhering to God’s laws and statutes, there would be respect for the law! Men would fear to fall foul of the law! If indeed felons were stretched out to be beaten before the Judge or Magistrate as God has ordained in His Word, the criminal element would seriously consider the consequences of committing crime! Crime would immediately decline, the lawyers would have less work, and law and order would prevail! The truth told concerning crime is unscrupulous lawyers are the root and cause of the crime ridden world we live in today! By the process of patient gradualism, the lawyers have worked through secret societies to erode our values, and overturn the God intended rule of law!
Divide and rule has played its part wonderfully in South Africa. Our quote, “broken justice system”, has been broken through Hollywood’s Soap Opera “Law and Order”. The Police should not be separate from the prosecuting body, but joined to them in common cause; a crime free society, with zero tolerance for crime! The enemy that loves violence, has infiltrated the Police and the National Prosecuting Authority’s Office. They have purposely separated themselves from one another so that there can be confusion! If they were united against crime, there would be prosecutions! Prosecutions would lead to convictions, convictions would lead to punishments, and punishments would prevent crime!
Let us hear what Scripture says. “If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. Forty stripes he may give him, and NOT exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee”. Deuteronomy 25:1 to 3. Our brother Paul the Apostle preaching to the Corinthians, reminds them of his afflictions unjustly received. “Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods”. 2 Corinthians 11:24 and 25. This was for preaching Jesus!
Intended to afflict and cause injury, public beating had the affect of fostering respect for those who sat in judgment. Sleeping would be difficult for some weeks as the recipient of stripes healed, hopefully, vowing to choose righteousness in future, instead of following after wickedness. Today, “humanitarianism”, has changed this without any unction from God, and look at our world! Today the criminal is preferred, for without crime, many and most lawyers would have no purpose in the world, or place in society! You may note that without crime, security companies would serve no purpose either! Follow the money, and it will lead to the answers, and show us the solutions!
As Christians of the 3rd millenium after Lord Jesus, we are clearly instructed to “establish judgment in the gate”, and given the charge of keeping God’s Courts”. Adjured to occupy until the coming of our Lord Jesus, we cannot escape the content of God’s Holy Word, or the call of God on our lives to obey God as our first priority, for, “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. Zecharia 3:7.
In ancient Israel, the priests and the elders judged the people, and for those with ears to hear, God wishes to see His Bride and creation return to keeping His laws and statutes. Malachi 4.4.
