10 You have devised shame for your house by cutting off many peoples; you have forfeited your life. ~ Habakkuk 2:10
This word cutting off is the Hebrew word (qā·ṣā(h)). It means to scrape, i.e., destroy an object, as a figurative extension of scraping an object. The word is used in Leviticus to scrape the plaster off so as to remove mold or mildew. In other words, it’s not removing the whole thing, only the part that is infected. In other words, removing or destroying the offending part of something.
Our Scripture said, “You have devised shame for your house by cutting off many peoples.”
Please notice that it did not say by killing or murdering, but by scraping many people. Could this be applied to free speech? Free speech is being targeted. All speech is not censored; only the offending part is scraped off and destroyed. And it’s not only here in America but all around the world, including Europe.
Our freedoms (freedom of speech, religion, etc.) are being cut off. They’re being scraped away. They are being targeted. Once we have no more freedom, what will be left of us? Fight for your freedoms. Don’t just give them up blindly. Stand up for your rights because when they are gone, then it will be almost impossible to get them back.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Pay Attention.
