Embracing Perversion

On December 14, 2022, American President Joe Biden signed a historic piece of legislation—the Respect for Marriage Act (RFMA)—that seeks to protect same-sex “marriage” in the United States. In his celebratory remarks, the president declared, “This law and the love it defends strike a blow against hate in all its forms” (Los Angeles Times, December 13, 2022). The signing of the new law was marked by a celebration at the White House. More than 70 percent of adults in the U.S. now favor same-sex "marriage."

We are witnessing a turning point in the history of Western civilization. Just 26 years ago in 1996, the American congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that legally defined marriage as union between one man and one woman, as stated by God in the Scriptures (Genesis 2:21–25). The Bible also labels homosexuality as a serious sin (Leviticus 18:22; 1 Timothy 1:9–10; 1 Corinthians 6:9–10). Yet today, the so-called "Respect for Marriage Act" disrespects marriage by rejecting these biblical instructions that have guided societies in the Western world for thousands of years.

However, few in our modern secular society grasp the prophetic significance of this major turning point. Jesus said that conditions at the end of the age would be like those in ancient Sodom (Luke 17:28–30), a city God destroyed for many sins, including the abomination of homosexuality (Jude 7; Ezekiel 16:49–50). The Apostle Paul warned there would be a great rebellion against God just before the return of Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Moses warned the Israelite-descended peoples that in the “latter days” they would become utterly corrupt—calling good evil and evil good (Isaiah 5:20)—and would bring upon themselves the wrath of God (Deuteronomy 31:29).
