Isaiah 9:15
15 The ancient [zaqen] and
honourable [paniym], [nasa'] he [huw'] is the head; [ro'sh] and the prophet [nabiy']
that teacheth [yarah] lies, [sheqer] he is the tail. [zanab] KJV-Interlinear
15 The head is
the elder and honorable man, And the prophet who teaches falsehood is the tail.
NASB
Those who are old and
distinguished, educated or credentialed, these are the head, the leaders, the
ones who presume themselves as the elite and all knowing.
And among the lesser in
society, regardless of status academically or economically, whether middle
class or stricken with poverty, of all that could be considered as the tail or
hind end of society, it is those that preach and teach lies that are the very
bottom of society.
Lies come in all sorts or
scenarios. From the academics of
education to the philosophies of science, to the politics of social reform, to
the gossips of the neighborhood, all are evil to the core.
Anyone and everyone who
rejects correct Bible doctrine as the basis of their core beliefs, it is they
who are the rot of society and not the heroes, the twisted views of life and
not the solutions, the source of self-destruction and not the change for
success.
Man is full of plans,
none of which will ever work. Man looks
for solutions in the things in life, improvements in things, and they are
irrelevant to the core problem of mans soul.
Man will attempt to
destroy others when they perceive being cheated or slighted in some way.
Man does not look to God
and the important matters of their own soul, which will impact their entire
eternal destiny.
When the top to the
bottom of society are corrupt, then what would you expect to happen next?
