What is the foundation upon which a nation is built? It is FAMILIES. When families are in order, the nation is in order. When family life is disrupted, so is the nation. It is for this reason that the calling of the nation of Israel started with a command by YHWH to Abraham, a father, to train his CHILDREN in the ways of YHWH – to do righteousness and justice.
Gen 18:19 “For I have chosen him, so that he may COMMAND HIS CHILDREN AND HIS HOUSEHOLD after him to keep the way of YHWH BY DOING RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE, so that YHWH may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken about him.”
Deut 6:4 “Hear, O Israel! YHWH is our God, YHWH is one!
6:5 “You shall love YHWH your God with ALL YOUR HEART and with all your soul and with all your might.
6:6 “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be ON YOUR HEART.
6:7 “You shall TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY TO YOUR SONS and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.
6:8 “You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead.
6:9 “You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
Family units where children are taught the ways of YHWH from a young age are absolutely the key to the success of a nation. The onslaught against families in the end times in which we live is sinister indeed, and is aimed at destroying the witness which our whole nation is to be to the nations of the world. Destruction of family values results in the disintegration of the nation, and with that, the effectiveness of our Christian witness.
