The U.S. Department of Education Promoting Pride Month is Just the Beginning of the Birth Pangs of God’s Wrath

I’m certainly no prophet, but here’s what’s undeniable—from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible makes it clear that when people reject God and embrace idolatry, His judgment and wrath will inevitably follow.

We see this picture painted vividly in Romans 1, where God reveals that when people “suppress the truth in unrighteousness” and worship created things rather than the Creator, He gives them over to their depraved minds. This is precisely the state of our culture today—celebrating every form of sexual perversion and calling it “progress.”

A recent tweet by the U.S. Department of Education endorsing, promoting, and even celebrating sexual immorality is a glaring example of this moral decay.

This nonsense about students “feeling safe” promotes a false sense of security for those who continue in rebellion against God. They may feel affirmed by the culture and supported by the world, but they are not “safe” from the impending wrath of God. True safety cannot be found in the approval of a morally bankrupt society. It is only through the blood of Jesus Christ, through genuine repentance and faith, that one can be shielded from the just penalty of sin, the only true refuge from God’s righteous judgment.

For how God deals with those who practice idolatry, look at Jeremiah 7, for example, where God rebukes Israel for worshiping false gods, saying, “They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.” This warning against idolatry and moral corruption is just as relevant today. Our society sacrifices its children on the altars of convenience and sexual immorality, under the guise of “rights” and “freedom.” And the narrative of Sodom and Gomorrah, it goes without saying, demonstrates God’s ultimate judgment on such evil.

God’s wrath isn’t limited to blatant idolaters. He is equally enraged with those who compromise with the world and embrace and tolerate its immorality. In 1 Kings 18, Elijah confronts the people of Israel, asking, “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” This call to choose whom we will serve is a challenge to modern Christians living in a culture that demands conformity to ungodly standards.

The Bible repeatedly warns that God will judge the unbelieving world. In Isaiah 5:20, we read, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” This inversion of morality is precisely what we see in our culture today, where sexual immorality is celebrated and biblical truth is vilified.

To be clear, I’m referring to the broader culture, not just those who profess to be Christians. Our nation, which was once seemingly rooted in biblical principles, has become a cesspool of idolatry and moral relativism. The celebration of “Pride Month” is just one symptom of a deeper spiritual malaise.

God will do what He always does. He will bring crushing judgment and wrath to purge the wickedness from the land. In Revelation 18, we see the fall of Babylon, a symbol of the world’s corrupt systems, where God’s people are called to “come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues.” This call to separate from the corrupt culture is as urgent today as it was then.

Remember the story of Noah. In Genesis 6, we learn that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. God’s response was to cleanse the earth with a flood, sparing only Noah and his family. This is a warning to us today of the severity of God’s judgment against pervasive wickedness.

What we are witnessing today in our culture is reminiscent of the days of Noah. Even in the book of Daniel, we see God’s judgment upon Babylon, the epitome of human arrogance and idolatry. Belshazzar’s feast, with its blasphemous use of sacred vessels, ended in disaster as God’s hand wrote the words of judgment on the wall: “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.”

If God is willing to bring such severe judgment to a rebellious nation, it shouldn’t be far-fetched to expect Him to carry out similar judgments on our modern culture. Whether it be the U.S. Department of Education, the White House, the local public library, or the individual voters, the endless promotion of sexually immoral lifestyles is just one more sign that Christians must be prepared for the coming trials—by standing firm in their faith, enduring persecution, and persevering through the refining fires of God’s righteous judgment.

This is just the beginning.
