Boomers Don’t Get It - by Rev. Matthew Littlefield

 Boomers, let me address you here. This is not the country you grew up in. Not even close. You know this in your hearts. You know that all the gender nonsense we see today did not exist in your youth. Well, neither did the current state of the housing market, you had a completely different set of opportunities in front of you that your children and their children have. The advice you give the young about getting into the housing market today is about 40 years or more out of date. Conditions have changed. You saw Australia at its peak, at the peak of opportunity and affordability. Yes, many of you worked really hard, we understand. But you lived in a day where the rewards for your hard work were manifold more than they are today. This is just an economical reality. Young people are working hard, saving and seeking to be responsible. But they are dealing with a completely different society, where the deck is stacked against them in a multitude of ways.

Much of what is called progress today is simply judgement on our society for rejecting God. Hopefully now you can understand that just as things like gender identity have gone crazy, so too has access to reasonably priced housing. All these sorts of things are to be expected in a declining society. The young do need to work hard and save, of course they do. But they also need social change. Boomers, you guys have the most political power, I encourage you to start thinking about how you can use it to benefit your grandchildren and their children. They need change, and quick.

The rapid decline in prosperity in Israel and Judah was phenomenal. They went from near record wealth under Uzziah and Jeroboam, to having a situation where only the rich were able to own a home. Isaiah 5:8, "8 Woe to those who join house to house; They add field to field, Till there is no place Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!" That’s right, the Bible warned about a situation where only a few could own a home. Israel reached the stage in its decline where the poor, who had a right to be able to live affordably in their own land, were being locked out of the housing market by the greed of the wealthy. And their land was being given to foreigners to do with as they pleased on top of all this.
