The United Kingdom has just lost its latest Prime Minister:

UK’s Truss quits after turmoil obliterated her authority

October 20, 2022

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned — bowing to the inevitable after a tumultuous six-week term in which her policies triggered turmoil in financial markets and a rebellion in her party obliterated her authority.

She said “I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected.”

Just a day earlier Truss had vowed to stay in power, saying she was “a fighter and not a quitter.”

But Truss left Thursday after she was forced to abandon many of her economic policies and lost control of Conservative Party discipline.

Her departure leaves a divided party seeking a leader who can unify its warring factions. …

A growing number of lawmakers have called for Truss to resign after weeks of turmoil sparked by her economic plan. The plan unveiled by the government last month triggered financial turmoil and a political crisis that has seen the replacement of Truss’ Treasury chief, multiple policy U-turns and a breakdown of discipline in the governing Conservative Party. https://apnews.com/article/liz-truss-europe-economy-business-e18e6e6007c28f6e11cc1a201c545b71?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=TopNews&utm_campaign=position_01

Liz Truss has espoused positions that the European Union does not like (e.g. see EU and Ireland not pleased with UK’s protocol bill for Northern Ireland), as well as gotten caught in a political ‘catch-22’ which came up on economic matters.

The political divide in the UK is worsening.

That is not good for the UK.

Jesus warned:

25 … Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25)

24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.  (Mark 3:24-25)

17 … Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. (Luke 11:17)

Notice that God had this inspired to be written three times in the Gospels.

God normally seems to repeat something in scripture for emphasis.

The growing division is a BIG DEAL.

The end of the UK is coming (cf. Daniel 8:21-22; Isaiah 17:3).

On “LGBTQ+ rights,” Liz Truss (like many politicians), according to Reuters, voted for gay marriage and has never voted against “LGBTQ+ rights” — but that is contrary to the Bible (see also God Created Marriage).

Liz Truss likely tried her best to lead, but she did not shown a strong reverence for scripture. The following came to mind related to her when she was gaining office:

1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain. (Psalm 127:1)

Of course, Liz Truss is also a woman. A while back, former US President Barack Obama said he wanted women to rule over every country:

December 16, 2019

Speaking at a private event in Singapore on Monday, President Obama said that if women ran every country, we would all live with significantly improved living standards and there would be less war and strife. When it comes to leadership, women are “indisputably better” than men, Obama said, according to the BBC, which was apparently invited to the event.

Most of the world’s problems, Obama said, stem from too many old men in positions of power, an obvious slight directed at President Donald Trump, though he wasn’t explicitly named.

Although they’re not perfect, women are so much more advanced and even-headed than men, that Obama believes if women were given two years running every country on earth, all of our problems would be fixed.

“Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you’re better than us [men].”

“I’m absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything…living standards and outcomes.”

When asked if he would ever consider going back into political leadership, he said he believed in leaders stepping aside when the time came.

“If you look at the world and look at the problems it’s usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way,” he said.

“It is important for political leaders to try and remind themselves that you are there to do a job, but you are not there for life, you are not there in order to prop up your own sense of self importance or your own power.”

For the record, there was no hint in the BBC story about Obama’s comments that he was joking. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/obama-says-women-are-indisputably-better-men-and-should-lead-every-country

Notice a prophecy from the Book of Isaiah:

9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as Sodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.

10 “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them,
For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
For the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors,
And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.” (Isaiah 3:9-12)

Barack Obama, when president, refused to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, and eventually supported its removal. He has assisted many in declaring their sin like Sodom (more biblical warnings about Sodom are in the article: The Bible Condemns Homosexuality).

And, also notice, that the Bible warns against women ruling. It is not that they can never help, but God says those who promote such things are causing people to err and get their way destroyed.

Although Barack Obama, particularly while campaigning to become US President, repeatedly claimed to be a Christian, he has overlooked many scriptures. So has Liz Truss.

Jesus said that Christians are supposed to live “by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

The Bible does NOT teach that the world would be a better place if old men move aside and let women rule (for more on women’s biblical roles, check out the article: Women and the New Testament Church).

Furthermore, the Bible teaches what the solution is.

It is repentance and turning to Jesus, individually (Acts 2:38) as well as repentance nationally to save a people (Hosea 11:3a, 5b-7).

Since national repentance is not expected, the end of the UK and other governments of this world are coming:

15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”  (Revelation 11:15-16)

However, the good news is that Kingdom of God is the solution (watch also The Kingdom of God is the Solution).

That  Kingdom of God will renew the earth and help all: men and women, boys and girls, rich and poor, etc.

Sadly, many leaders in the Anglo-American nations are causing people to err and not move in that biblical direction.
