Fence sitters cannot see a demarcation between the righteous and the wicked. The reason being, as they sit on the fence they see the benefits of both people. Fence sitters desire the wealth of the wicked and the future of the righteous. When you straddle the fence it can feel like you are experiencing the best of both worlds, the challenge is they are actually not experiencing either world.

Elijah climbed a mountain called Carmel, built an altar to Yahweh, prepared it and then called the prophets of Baal to build an altar to Molech/Chemosh or whatever god they chose and the prepared their altar as well. One was an altar to a righteous God, the other other was an altar to an idol or demon god. Elijah had made his decision as to who he was, the prophets of Baal and Jezebel had made their decision as to who they were, but the nation of Israel could not decide which God/god they wanted to serve. Elijah said it this way, “How long will you waver between two opinions, if Yahweh is God serve Him; if Baal is god, serve him.” (1 Kings 18)

We are living in a culture in which fence sitting seems to be desirable to many. The challenge is, those who are wavering in the valley of decision as to who is God/god only see the benefits of both sides, they do not see the destruction that is taking place in our nations as the wicked are destroying the foundations. Psalm 11 says, “If the foundations are destroyed,

What can the righteous do?” Foundations in Hebrew is stay of society, political or moral support. Destroyed in Hebrew is to throw down, overthrow, tear down, ruin. The wicked are after the foundations of the nations for if they can destroy the foundation, they can destroy the nation.

The wicked are on a mission of destruction but fence sitters cannot see it. Until those who have called on the name of Jesus, get off the fence and take a stand for righteousness, the wicked will prevail and there will be a showdown shaking to get the fence sitters to pick a side. This is not a battle in which you don’t have to choose. You must choose this day whom you will serve!
