Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir |
The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir sang a song at the
57th inauguration about the judgement of God and Obama smiled maybe oblivious to
the meaning of the song Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the
Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
According to Wikipedia,
the words of this famous hymn were written by Julia Ward Howe in 1861.
"The song links the judgement of the wicked at the end of time (New
Testament) with the American Civil War.
The wrath mentioned in this song can be read about
in Revelation 14:
Then another angel came out of the temple in
heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the
altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud
voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, "Put in your sickle and gather
the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” So the angel
swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth
and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God. And the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the wine press, as high as a
horse's bridle, for 1,600 stadia. - Revelation 14:17-20 ESV
Earlier in chapter 14 verse 8 we read about one of
the reasons for God's wrath:
Another angel, a second, followed, saying,
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the
wine of the passion of her sexual immorality."
Some prophecy teachers believe that this Babylon
is America. America has exported pornography throughout the world.
This song might be prophetic. As America and
President Obama rejects the biblical teaching on sexual purity, the country
embraces sin. The Bible warns that "God is not mocked."
Before the Inauguration, pastor Louie Giglio
withdrew himself from giving the inaugural benediction because of controversy
over a sermon he preached in the 1990s about homosexuality..
What do you think..
