What do you think that relationship was like between parent and child when the children got old enough to understand the lies of free will and emotional common sense of the parents and so could only “understand” that they had been made to wander in the desert as opposed to living in a land of milk and honey wherein was plenty and always Enough by the actions of the parents “on purpose”?
Hebrews 3:16-18 (for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but was it not all who came out of Egypt by Moses? And with whom was he wroth forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?
Numbers 14:26-35 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, How long shall I bear with this evil assembly, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. Say unto them, As surely as I live, saith Jehovah, if I do not do unto you as ye have spoken in mine ears! In this wilderness shall your carcases fall; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number from twenty years old and upwards, who have murmured against me, shall in no wise come into the land, concerning which I have lifted up my hand to make you dwell in it; save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. But your little ones, of whom ye said they should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land that ye have despised. And as to you, your carcases shall fall in this wilderness. And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. After the number of the days in which ye have searched out the land, forty days, each day for a year shall ye bear your iniquities forty years, and ye shall know mine estrangement from you . I Jehovah have spoken; I will surely do it unto all this evil assembly which have gathered together against me! in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
No doubt the parents and the mere religious bureaucrats got really “religious” after that and thought that by that mere self-willed/demonic religious fervor
Numbers 14:36.37 And the men whom Moses had sent to search out the land, who returned, and made the whole assembly to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report upon the land, even those men who had brought up an evil report upon the land, died by a plague before Jehovah.
The only mercy for the formerly deceived was in Jesus Christ in certainty that His will alone has always prevailed and for the good of all in the good of His Name being blessed.
For the parents and those in mere bureaucracies who had erred so badly as to supposedly “cause” all the evil that had befallen the children and those who came in afterwards to actually perform the duties that those of the bureaucracy had supposedly “been performing” the only mercy is genuine new birth in Jesus Christ and the acknowledgement they never had free will but that God had caused them err for His purposes. Such persons would be given the truth through them by God to Say:
Isaiah 63:17-19 Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants’ sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. Thy holy people have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. We have become like those over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.
..only they had themselves been the adversary who had trodden down the sanctuary. And while they had taught their children in such a way as to merely maintain an advantage over the children in exactly a manner as had been done to them by their parents and even so for thousands of years and had been to them by lying false prophets, now that God has opened the eyes of the children in such a way and in such a manner as those others had said was impossible.. what do you think that relationship will be like in the parents eyes? Will it be equitable in Jesus Christ in brotherhood? Is it not plain that the parents and those of the governing bureaucracy will only see, unless God opens their eyes, that the children will treat them as harshly as the children were treated and for no advantage to anyone as is plainly demonstrated by the efforts of the parents and the bureaucrats for generations? After all, the parents and the bureaucrats still say to this hour that everyone has free will, only one speech exists in total reality and it is non-creating “and so” supposedly will-neutral. So according to their own lie only functional execution/lack-of-”as much”-free will is what is up ahead for them “because” they supposedly did all they did “on purpose”. All they can see in their own future is the very servitude they had executed against us and planned to execute against as many as they could without end or restraint.
To those who will never be new creature in Jesus Christ regardless of fleshly age God Says:
Isaiah 14:16-27 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee; they shall consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that shook kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; that dismissed not his prisoners homewards? –All the kings of the nations, all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house; but thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, covered with the slain–those thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit: like a carcase trodden under foot. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial; for thou hast destroyed thy land, hast slain thy people. Of the seed of evildoers no mention shall be made for ever. Prepare ye slaughter for his children, because of the iniquity of their fathers; that they may not rise up and possess the earth, nor fill the face of the world with cities. For I will rise up against them, saith Jehovah of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and scion and descendant, saith Jehovah. And I will make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith Jehovah of hosts. Jehovah of hosts hath sworn saying, Assuredly as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, it shall stand: to break the Assyrian in my land; and upon my mountains will I tread him under foot; and his yoke shall depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. This is the counsel which is purposed concerning the whole earth; and this is the hand which is stretched out upon all the nations. For Jehovah of hosts hath purposed, and who shall frustrate it ? And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Yet for others God Says:
Act 16:27-34 And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled. But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here. And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas. And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house. And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed them from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway. And having brought them into his house he laid the table for them , and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.
It is then plain that pray for one’s erring parents and government is fit:
Psalm 45:15,16 With joy and gladness shall they be brought; they shall enter into the king’s palace. instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons; princes shalt thou make them in all the earth.
and the ones who come after are blessed as princes and princesses:
Matthew 19:30 But many first shall be last, and last first.
It is easy to hear the conversation: “You did all that on purpose –according to your own lie of free will! Now you say your sorry?! Look at what you have done –according to your present speech that you speak to this hour to my face as if I were an imbecile and you a freakin’ genuis! Oh, you were just that “smart” –that “strong”! Now look at where we are!”
But who can hear: Matthew 9:5 For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house. And he rose up and went to his house.

Jonah 3:5-10 And the men of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. And the word reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and laid his robe from him, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water; and let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God; and let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who knoweth but that God will turn and repent, and will turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil that he had said he would do unto them, and he did it not.
Jonah 4:1-4 And it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. And he prayed unto Jehovah, and said, Ah, Jehovah, was not this my saying when I was yet in my country? Therefore I was minded to flee at first unto Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious *God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. And now, Jehovah, take, I beseech thee, my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live. And Jehovah said, Doest thou well to be angry?
All they ever say is “You have to forgive me no matter what I do.” and think themselves bulletproof in that belligerence. There is new birth in Jesus Christ for sinners. Yet the Ten Commandments stand.
Matthew 5:17-19 Think not that I am come to make void the law or the prophets; I am not come to make void, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Until the heaven and the earth pass away, one iota or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all come to pass. Whosoever then shall do away with one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whosoever shall practise and teach them , *he* shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.

There are some who will be spoken through by anti-Christ to say such prayers for parents and present bureaucracies are the hopes of the naive. So said those who thought it a bizarre fantasy that the Anakim could be overcome as God did it through them and who knew only the limitations of their supposed “own free will” and whom God killed with a plague for being cowards.
It is a good thing to love loved ones in the love they know nothing of and which is beyond the false love they taught us as the supposed only common sense in total reality.
Zec 1:5,6 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? And they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
