This attitude of violence toward women even extends into our military academies. Sexual abuse reports rose 30-percent from 2018-2019. Good details in your report.
How I ardently wish Christians would understand where our focus is to lie, as a peculiar people in Christ and under God. Our priority is not to restore America to its former supposed glory; such a favorable national-condition is ever but the byproduct of our true focus, which must always be the Church—that is, the true Church, which is the truth-affirming people of God, not what this pagan world would recognize as its "global church". John the Baptist—who was named by Christ as the greatest man born of women, second to Himself of course—did not speak out against the sinful, ignorant Caesar, and that ruler’s sinful, ignorant, and pagan nation, but spoke boldly against the ruler over 'God's people', to him whom exercised power over Israel, that deviant, religious-leader whom knew the laws and commandments of God; which corresponds to those leaders and elders who affirm Christ, but are to be rebuked for the heresy they speak and perform—such persons as the Pope, for example, as opposed to the United States’ president.
Paul, in recognizing the managerial limits of our authority, told us in 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 – “For what have [we] to do with judging those also who are outside [the church]? Do we not judge those who are inside [the church]? But those who are outside [the church] God judges.â€Â
God told us in 2 Chronicles 7:14 – “If My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.â€Â
Again, we see how much power we have as God's people over the well-being of the nation in which we dwell, despite how wicked its own decrees are, here in Genesis 18:32 – “Then he [Abraham, a friend of God’s said, ‘Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten [righteous people] should be found there [among the wicked of a sinful nation].’ And He said, ‘I will not destroy it for the sake of ten’.†Repeatedly, households and nations were indirectly blessed in which the likes of Abraham, David, Jacob and Elijah sojourned, just as Egypt was with Joseph, for the sake of all the Israelites, and just as Babylon was, for Daniel’s faithfulness to God being used by God to affect that pagan leader finally implementing laws which brought praise to God for the period of time that it did.
If, as it is written in 1 John 5:19 – “We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one,†(Also Job 9:24), then we are not to focus on the condition of that wicked nation bordering us in, with any direct intention to repair it by our own cunning, but rather to focus directly on the true nation to which we belong, and its eternal citizens, letting God repair that protective or persecuting earthly nation in which we dwell, so that His people might glorify Him in sharing the gospel to its lost citizens via our bold but gentle words and deeds.
1 Peter 4:17 – “For the time has come for judgement to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?â€Â Over and over, throughout the Bible, God sternly judges His people in priority over the wicked, whom He tells us are reserved for the day of judgment, in the meantime being used by His purposes to strengthen His people, sometimes in the form of discipline whenever they stand in need of correction.
Jesus warns us in Luke 6:46 – “But why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do the things which I say?†We must as a people, keep His commandments. What are they? Well, He goes to great lengths to spell them out for us redundantly all over His Word, as are seen below in these New Testament commands, which are the very Spirit of the Old Testament, from which no jot or tittle shall ever be removed, but the whole of which Law Christ fulfilled in His perfect righteousness, and thus imputes to all who believe, that the Spirit of it might be manifested in all those who are His disciples. If, then, we forsake these New Testament commands, we forsake the very Spirit of them, and need not wonder at the ruinous state of whatever country we find ourselves temporal citizens of:
Colossians 3:8-9 – “But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another.â€Â
Colossians 3:13 – “Bear with one another, forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.â€Â
Proverbs 13:24 – “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly.â€Â
Proverbs 23:13-14 – “Do not withhold correction from a child, for if you beat him with a rod, he will not die. You shall beat him with a rod and deliver his soul from hell.â€Â
Hebrews 12:6 – “For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.â€Â
Matthew 10:37 – “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of me.â€Â
Luke 16:18 – “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.â€Â
Ephesians 5:22-24 – “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.â€Â
Ephesians 5:28 – “So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.â€Â
Joshua 24:15 – “And if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.â€
Terrible tragedy...

This is disturbing news. Hopefully this can be improved with time, but if male college age do not treat women with respect, they need to be held accountable, regardless of stature or belief. Thanks for another interesting share. God bless you!
