Hebrews 6:18 So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. YLT
Men will lie, manipulate, cheat, and steal in order to achieve an agenda. I recently heard a new term: systemic sin. An overall country can digress to the point where the “new” normal is to lie about most anything that suits the agenda of those in power. I suspect that the U.S. can now be placed in the category of systemic sin. However, within the country there are still those who retain the promise given by Our Heavenly Father. This remnant will keep the entire country from severe judgment while it is being prepared for its ultimate purpose of bringing forth the blessings of Abraham.
Enemies will be raised up and anointed to deal with the systemic sin of a nation. Cyrus, a heathen king, was one such man who was called “My anointed”:
Isaiah 45:1 Thus said Jehovah, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Yea, loins of kings I loose, To open before him two-leaved doors, Yea, gates are not shut… YLT
Cyrus = "posses thou the furnace", the king of Persia and conqueror of Babylon.
Clearly his job was to heat up things and purge out the dross, aka systemic sin. There is currently such perversion of the intent of the founding fathers, the law, the separation of duties of the three branches of government, the statistical reporting of the economic health of the country… the list goes on.
It is critical to focus on moving on to full maturity, knowing that Our Heavenly Father has made an immutable promise and oath concerning the reality of the future Melchizedek priesthood:
Hebrews 6:19 This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.
The mysteries are reserved for those who go on to full maturity. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is promised in order to minister to those in need. We are to press on to the high mark so that we will be endued with power on High to minister life to the rest of mankind with Love as our Divine Intent, not self-promoting as some have erred in the past. The greater is to serve the lesser. The mature are called to serve the immature. The goal is to elevate all to a full comprehension of HIS Love.
