The Worst Is Yet To Come

A God-Inflicted Blindness

The Bible speaks of a judicial blindness that falls upon cultures and communities that deliberately rebel against God's Law. 

Here is the text of the Biblical indictment that falls upon those cultures or jurisdictions which self-consciously lift the high hand against God:
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. . . . Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonouring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen.

For this reason God gave them up to dishonourable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;  and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.  And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. . . .   [Romans 1:18--31]
The West is going through just such a self-inflicted death, resulting from a divine, judicial curse.  God has given the West up to a "debased mind".  Here is an example now unfolding in the UK:

Children who feel they were ‘born in the wrong body’ have been told they should consider freezing their “reproductive tissue” if they plan to ‘change sex’ or take puberty-blocking hormones.  Guidance from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) explains that medical ‘treatments’ for gender dysphoria – including hormone injections and surgery – can “lead to a complete loss of fertility”.

Puberty blockers – drugs which delay the onset of puberty – are almost always followed by cross-sex hormones, and so the HFEA has written particular guidance for pre-pubescent children, who are unable to have their eggs or sperm frozen.  It says: “If you haven’t gone through puberty yet and you’re keen to start hormone therapy or puberty suppressing medication as soon as possible, it may be possible for you to store your ovarian tissue or testicular tissue, which can be collected via a surgical procedure.”

The treatment is experimental and the report explains that using stored ovarian tissue to restore fertility has only resulted in a live birth in very few cases.  Furthermore, in cases of stored testicular tissue, the guidance admitted it is currently “unclear” how fertility could be restored, and there have been no successful attempts.

Despite this, the guidance encouraged young children to undergo the surgery.  Chris McGovern, Chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, criticised the guidance, saying it further contributed to the promotion of transgenderism among children.  He said: “Potentially life-changing decisions like these are beyond the capabilities of primary school children, some of whom still believe in Father Christmas, fairies and dragons.  “Adults are foisting their neuroses on children. It is unfair and could have potentially devastating consequences.”
In our view there will be nothing "potentially" devastating about the consequences.
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.  They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.  Though they know God's decree that those who practise such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practise them.
Yes, the children of such parents are definitely the victims here.  They cannot be blamed for an ungodly confusion and misdirection foisted upon them by their parents and the authorities, who are, indeed, "haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless [and] ruthless."  They are like the ancient devotees to Moloch who sacrificed their children upon their grotesque altars.  All in a "good cause", naturally.
