A law of physics is a fundamental principle that governs the behavior of matter and energy in the universe. It describes a consistent and validated relationship observed in physical phenomena, such as gravity and electromagnetism. Laws apply universally regardless of location or time. These laws provide a framework for understanding how matter and energy interact.
A Law of Spiritual Truths
Likewise, a law of spiritual truths is a universal principle that governs the outcome of human behavior. These laws apply universally regardless of location or time just as a law of physics. This law of action vs reaction can be observed in Isiah 31:7, 8. For in that day every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold your sinful hands have made. “Assyria will fall by no human sword; a sword, not of mortals, will devour them. They will flee before the sword and their young men will be put to forced labor.
These passages refer to the future time when Israel will be regenerated and recognize the utter folly of idolatry. This time is referred to as the Day of the Lord or the time of Jacob’s trouble. It is a 7 year period of trial and tribulation that is coming on the earth. Jesus describes this time Matthew 24:21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
During this time Israel will recognize the utter folly of idolatry. Idolatry is allowing the high place in heart, mind and soul to be occupied by thoughts and images other than those of relationship with the Almighty. The idols of silver and gold in verses 7 & 8 were most often female deities of fertilization that glorified lust and debauchery. Antichrist will seek to destroy Israel during this time of Jacob’s trouble. Israel will recognize and turn away from misguided allegiance to Antichrist and idol worship.
Action and Reaction
This repentance or action results in a reaction. Verse 8 “Assyria will fall by no human sword.” Compare Gog (Ezekiel 38-39 and the Antichrist of Revelation 19:20, 20:10 which the Assyrian portrays. The Assyrian represents the kingdom of man and the Antichrist which will strive to dominate the whole earth. Israel’s repentance or “action” results in God’s “reaction” which is the destruction of the kingdom of man which is dominated by Antichrist. God’s government will be established on the earth.
This spiritual law has individual application. When we realize the folly of trusting in man and repent and turn away from the lust of life. When we put away our idols and turn and seek forgiveness in our Savior Jesus Christ. This action initiates a reaction from the Almighty.
1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Not only are we cleansed but also filled with the Spirit. Matthew 11:28, 29, 30 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
