A Call to Repentance, Reformation, and Household Dominion
By Lord Redbeard
I. A Nation in Decline Reaps What It Has Sown
Scripture does not stutter: we are governed not merely by what we choose, but by what we deserve. We are ruled in accordance with our collective obedience or rebellion. God is not mocked—for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7). The condition of civil government in a nation is a spiritual thermometer of the people’s moral temperature. We are not victims of tyranny—we are under judgment. And the state of modern America proves it without question.
We are plagued by corruption in high places because we have allowed corruption in our hearts. Our laws reflect our idols. Our media mirrors our lusts. Our educational system teaches our rebellion. Our entertainment celebrates our abominations. And our rulers—confused, effeminate, godless, or greedy—are a visible judgment from God upon a people who have cast off His Word.
This is not unprecedented. In Isaiah 3, the Lord describes the condition of Judah just before He brings them into judgment. The people have forsaken His commandments. They boast in sin. They neglect the poor. They glorify wealth, vanity, and status. And what is God’s response? He removes the stabilizing structures of society.
“And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them… As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.”
— Isaiah 3:4, 12 KJV
The result is predictable: disorder, division, and eventual destruction. When a nation abandons righteousness, God does not simply allow decline—He ordains it as punishment. And in His justice, He gives the people the rulers they deserve.
II. When God Judges a Nation, He Starts with Leadership
God does not need to destroy a nation with fire from heaven. One of His most terrifying judgments is the removal of wise and righteous leadership. He withdraws His hand of protection and guidance, and in their place rise up fools, children, and women—those unfit to rule.
“Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff… the mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet… the captain of fifty, and the honourable man…”
— Isaiah 3:1-3 KJV
These are not merely unfortunate political developments. These are divine removals. God strips a rebellious nation of its protectors and providers. Consider what has happened in modern America:
- Our mighty men are removed from the battlefield. Our military is demoralized, not feared. Once feared by our enemies, it is now mocked, weakened by social engineering and political agendas.
- Our judges are blind. They no longer uphold God’s justice but rewrite law to accommodate wickedness.
- Our prophets preach smooth lies. Modern pastors no longer cry out against sin but market feel-good spirituality to itching ears.
- Our craftsmen are few. Tradesmen, artisans, and men of skill have been replaced by consumers and office drones. Masculine labor is despised.
- Our leaders are childish, emotional, and unpredictable. Politics is theater. Governance is chaos. Women and children now rule over us—and the people cheer.
This is judgment. Not political misfortune. Judgment.
God gives a nation leaders who reflect the hearts of the people. We have demanded comfort over courage, peace over principle, prosperity over piety. And now we reap the bitter harvest. We asked for Caesar, and we got clowns. We demanded equality, and we were given incompetence.
We are ruled by our own reflections. And until we repent, we will be ruled by ruin.
III. The Faces of Our Rebellion Are Public and Proud
The collapse of righteous leadership is not the root—it is the fruit. The root is national rebellion. And in our time, it is not a hidden rebellion. It is public, proud, and paraded.
“The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul!”
— Isaiah 3:9 KJV
Once, sin brought shame. Now, it brings applause. Our culture celebrates abortion as a human right, sodomy as virtue, feminism as freedom, and rebellion as self-expression. We call evil good and good evil. We have exchanged God’s moral order for moral anarchy.
Our parades celebrate abomination. Our schools teach confusion. Our corporations reward perversion. And the church, instead of resisting, has largely joined the rebellion.
The Lord says, “Woe unto their soul!”—because the destruction they deserve is the destruction they will get.
This is why the righteous suffer alongside the wicked in times of judgment. Because the people, as a whole, are lawless. The covenant has been broken. And even among God’s people, repentance is rare. We lament wicked rulers, but we tolerate wickedness in our homes. We weep over ungodly laws, but we permit ungodly media, ungodly friendships, ungodly habits.
We are not victims of political misfortune. We are under righteous wrath.
IV. The Fall of Feminine Culture and the Curse of Female Rule
Isaiah speaks not only to the men of Judah, but to the women—and he does not mince words.
“Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes… Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head.”
— Isaiah 3:16-17 KJV
Rarely does God speak judgment directly to the women. But when He does, it is because their influence has become culturally destructive. The women of Judah, like the women of modern America, are steeped in vanity, seduction, consumerism, and self-worship. They lead their families, not toward God, but toward destruction.
This is not about voting or office-holding—it is about influence. Women, by nature, shape culture through fashion, tone, language, and domestic presence. When that influence becomes rebellious and sensual, the entire society follows. Just look at today:
- Women flaunt their nakedness on social media and call it empowerment.
- Feminists reject marriage, children, and submission to pursue careers, fame, and fornication.
- Mothers abandon their homes for vanity, chasing influence rather than godly offspring.
- Immodesty is a billion-dollar industry.
- Men have become spineless, enslaved to the approval of harlots.
And the judgment?
“Women rule over them.” — Isaiah 3:12
This is not progress. It is judgment. The rise of female leadership in society is a sign that the men have abdicated, and God has cursed the land. It is not a blessing to have a female ruler—it is a disgrace to the men.
We must return to God’s order: men as heads, women as helpmeets, children as disciples. Until then, disorder will increase. And judgment will not relent.
V. What Then Shall the Righteous Do?
In the midst of judgment, God does not leave the faithful without hope.
“Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.” — Isaiah 3:10 KJV
Even as the nation collapses, the righteous have a sure promise: they will be preserved. Their homes may be surrounded by chaos, but inside their walls there is peace. Their barns may not overflow, but their children will be taught of the Lord. Their influence may not be on television, but their legacy will endure for generations.
Righteousness always bears fruit. Always.
The faithful remnant must not lose heart. In times of judgment, they are not called to despair, but to build—to plant trees for their grandchildren, to dig deep wells of Scripture and truth, to labor in unseen places that the Lord might be glorified and future generations secured.
The patriarch must not concern himself with the presidency more than with his own table. The wife must not long for celebrity when she has been given the sacred task of shaping immortal souls. The children must not seek worldly popularity, but wisdom and holiness.
Faithfulness is resistance. Obedience is rebellion against the world. In an age of collapse, righteousness is a weapon.
VI. The Household: The Frontline of Resistance
The nation will not be saved by elections, protests, or political revolutions. It will be saved—if it is to be saved at all—by the reformation of households.
The home is where dominion begins. Before there can be righteous rulers in the land, there must be righteous rulers in the home. God is not looking for better ballots; He is looking for better fathers.
“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.” — Psalm 127:1
If we desire national restoration, we must return to God’s household model:
- The father is the head: provider, protector, and priest. He governs with strength and wisdom.
- The wives submit joyfully, serve diligently, and raise the next generation with excellence and virtue.
- The children are trained in obedience, industry, worship, and responsibility.
- The home is a miniature kingdom—a domain of righteousness, structure, and sacred order.
This is why feminism and statism have worked so hard to destroy the household. They know what many Christians have forgotten: he who controls the family controls the future.
It is time for fathers to rise again. Start by reclaiming what is yours:
- Remove your children from government schools.
- Lead family worship daily.
- Take dominion through property, business, and legacy.
- Train your sons to lead and your daughters to build.
- Stop outsourcing what God commanded you to do.
The nation will not change until the men of God reclaim headship in their homes.
VII. What About the Government? What About Reform?
It is right to grieve over the condition of our nation. It is right to mourn the corruption, the wicked laws, the godless judges, the unjust rulers. But we must not be deceived into thinking that government reform can save us.
God controls rulers.
“By Me kings reign, and princes decree justice.” — Proverbs 8:15
“He removeth kings, and setteth up kings.” — Daniel 2:21
If we want better government, we must become better people. If we want righteous rulers, we must raise them.
When Israel demanded a king, God gave them one—not as a blessing, but as a judgment.
“They have not rejected thee, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.” — 1 Samuel 8:7
We must not ask for righteous government while rejecting God’s reign in our homes, churches, and communities. The irony is deep: we demand Christian presidents while refusing to rule our own children. We pray for godly laws while tolerating ungodliness in our own hearts.
God is not mocked. If we will not submit to His rule, He will give us tyrants. And until we repent, we will be ruled by the very sins we celebrated.
VIII. Return to God, Rebuild the Nation
The path back is not easy, but it is clear.
“If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways…” — 2 Chronicles 7:14
This is not a sentimental verse—it is a divine blueprint.
- Humble yourselves — Reject pride, self-righteousness, and entitlement.
- Pray — Not weak, emotional platitudes, but strong, reverent, Scripture-saturated prayer.
- Seek His face — Return to His Word, His law, His will.
- Turn from wicked ways — Repent. Break off your sins. Cleanse your house. Discipline your family.
Then—and only then—will He hear, forgive, and heal.
This means turning away from the idols of convenience. No more excuses. No more deflection. Reformation is costly. Repentance is painful. But restoration is impossible without them.
We must rebuild the nation like Nehemiah rebuilt the wall:
- Each family builds their section.
- Each man labors with a sword on his side.
- The people pray while they work.
This is how Jerusalem was rebuilt. This is how we must rebuild: family by family, household by household.
IX. Conclusion: We Deserve Our Rulers—But We Can Raise Up Better Ones
We deserve the rulers we have. We deserve godless policies, unjust courts, perverse education, and incompetent officials. We deserve female rule, effeminate pastors, and degenerate leaders. Why? Because we abandoned the covenant. We rejected the King of Kings. We made gods of ourselves and idols of our pleasures.
But all is not lost.
God is still on His throne. His Word is still true. His promises still stand.
“And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations.” — Isaiah 58:12
You can begin today. Right now. Reclaim your household. Restore the fear of the Lord. Train your children in righteousness. Multiply. Establish dominion. Build. Teach. Reform.
And the day will come when God will raise up men of courage, wisdom, and justice—because they were formed by fathers who feared the Lord and ruled well.
Let it begin with you.
Let it begin with your home.
Let the patriarchs rise.
