Not a New Problem Since there is nothing new under the sun, and all problems which exist today have existed since Adam, God's Word must have something to say about this matter. In fact, writers in both the Old and New Testaments have spoken out about the same issues we face in our nation today. One of those writers was a king himself, King David. Let's take a look at the first four verses of his second Psalm. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Reporters are quick to cover their marches, street wars, and protests.
It seems half of every news broadcast is devoted to them. We see, hear, and read about rage in Bosnia, Ireland, the streets of New York, and the heartland of America. Newsmakers include the angry whites, enraged blacks, radical feminists, and militant homosexuals. There seems to be no solution to the problems. The Hebrew says they meditate on emptiness.
