God Removes Wicked Nations
Leviticus 18:1-28
1 THEN the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, "I am the LORD your God. 3 "You shall not do what is done in the land of Egypt where you lived, nor are you to do what is done in the land of Canaan where I am bringing you; you shall not walk in their statutes. 4 "You are to perform My judgments and keep My statutes, to live in accord with them; I am the LORD your God. 5 "So you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, by which a man may live if he does them; I am the LORD. 6 "None of you shall approach any blood relative of his to uncover nakedness; I am the LORD. 7 "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, that is, the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you are not to uncover her nakedness. 8 "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's wife; it is your father's nakedness. 9 "The nakedness of your sister, either your father's daughter or your mother's daughter, whether born at home or born outside, their nakedness you shall not uncover. 10 "The nakedness of your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for their nakedness is yours. 11 "The nakedness of your father's wife's daughter, born to your father, she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness. 12 "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister; she is your father's blood relative. 13 "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, for she is your mother's blood relative. 14 "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's brother; you shall not approach his wife, she is your aunt. 15 "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your son's wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness. 16 "You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother's wife; it is your brother's nakedness. 17 "You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and of her daughter, nor shall you take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are blood relatives. It is lewdness. 18 "You shall not marry a woman in addition to her sister as a rival while she is alive, to uncover her nakedness. 19 "Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness during her menstrual impurity. 20 "You shall not have intercourse with your neighbor's wife, to be defiled with her. 21 "You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the LORD. 22 "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. 23 "Also you shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion. 24 "Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have become defiled. 25 "For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has spewed out its inhabitants. 26 "But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native, nor the alien who sojourns among you 27 (for the men of the land who have been before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become defiled); 28 so that the land will not spew you out, should you defile it, as it has spewed out the nation which has been before you.
Leviticus 20:22
"You are therefore to keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them, so that the land to which I am bringing you to live will not spew you out.

Isaiah 59:14-15
14 Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, And uprightness cannot enter. 15 Yes, truth is lacking; And he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey. Now the LORD saw, And it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice.
Psalm 11:3
If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?
Respect for Governmental Authorities
Acts 23:1-5
1 PAUL, looking intently at the Council, said, "Brethren, I have lived my life with a perfectly good conscience before God up to this day." 2 The high priest Ananias commanded those standing beside him to strike him on the mouth. 3 Then Paul said to him, "God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to try me according to the Law, and in violation of the Law order me to be struck?" 4 But the bystanders said, "Do you revile God's high priest?" 5 And Paul said, "I was not aware, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, "YOU SHALL NOT SPEAK EVIL OF A RULER OF YOUR PEOPLE.'"
Exodus 22:28
You shall not curse God, nor curse a ruler of your people.
Proverbs 29:8
Scorners set a city aflame, But wise men turn away anger.
You Can Legislate Morality
I Timothy 1:5-11
5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, 7 wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions. 8 But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10 and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
Psalm 119:126
It is time for the LORD to act, For they have broken Your law.
We Must Pray for Our Local City and County Officials; Our State Leaders, the Governor, Legislature; Our President, His Cabinet, Advisers; the Congress; and the Supreme Court!
I Timothy 2:1-6
1 FIRST of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.
