Almighty God's Definition of True Beauty?

My Beloved, where is true beauty found today? In People Magazine’s Most Beautiful People edition? In the natural genetic beauty of Hollywood and the music industry’s A-list? In the high school cliques of the most popular teens? Nope, it’s not there... not at all! As a matter of fact, some of the most genetically temporal flowers of the field - most "beautiful" people are some of the most godless, vilest, immoral, and lawless of them all.
/ 

Where is true beauty to be found then? Well, there is a temporal, natural beauty possessed by a select number of people. There is no denying that. The truth of the matter is that these individuals did absolutely nothing to obtain this “outward” form of beauty. In the end, this beauty is short-lived and vain (Proverbs 31:30).

Consider some examples of past “beauties”: Liz Taylor, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, James Dean, Greta Garbo, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, etc. Their human beauty shone in the sun for a short while, and they withered away and died as a rose of summer. They bloomed and then faded FOREVER away (Eccl. 3:11; Isaiah 40:7; Rom. 3:23, 1 Cor. 15:50, James 4:14).

.

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

The Need for True Beauty

Almighty God makes it absolutely clear in His infallible Word to fallen humanity (Rom. 5:12-19) their desperate need for TRUE beauty. This beauty is not a temporal, vain expression of mortal man or woman. True (Divine) beauty endures FOREVER and EVER. This beauty waxes exceedingly more beautiful as time goes on. This beauty endures beyond the boundaries of time, and all who possess it will enjoy it FOREVER and EVER (Dan. 12:3; 1 Cor. 2:9; 15:42-57; Rev. 22:5).

You are beautiful in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus!

Where is this beauty to be found? Through 6000 years of human existence, billions have sought worldly beauty and the prestige it brings. Countless individuals have sold their souls for beauty and immortality ONLY to go the way of all the earth in the end (Heb 9:27). Oh, the endless volumes of testimonials that could be given by mortal men and women throughout the ages attesting to the futility of this fruitless quest (Psalms 39:5; 78:33; Eccl. 1:1-3). Such have put all their eggs in this fragile basket and have died bankrupt, miserable, and hideous in the eyes of their ETERNAL Creator/ Maker. They will FOREVER dwell in their shame and vile estate (Rev. 22:11).

Beloved, Time - and our earthly existence in it - is just a vapor, a grain of sand in the endless sea of ETERNITY'S FOREVERNESS (Psalms 39:5; 78:39; 90:10; 144:4; Isaiah 40:6; James 4:14; 1 Peter 1:24). Oh, that people would look outside of their temporal, subjective, narcissist world-view and see the reality. Oh, that we might look objectively into the Word of Almighty God for true answers about the unknown mysteries of this fallen world (1 Cor. 1:30). We would then begin to comprehend the unsolved mysteries of time and life, and be set free from the limited confines of this fallen world (John 8:32, 36).

This pinnacle of wondrous Beauty is nothing less than the glorious Righteousness that Almighty God has provided for His Fallen Creation. This Beauty is found nowhere else but in Christ Jesus, the Savior of the Whole World.

What is True Beauty?
.

What exactly is this True Beauty, one might ask? Quite simply, True Beauty is a gift from Almighty God (Rom. 5:16-17; 6:23). The FREE GIFT of TRUE beauty is provided to all by Almighty God (1 Cor. 1:30). TRUE beauty is our greatest need in the light of ETERNITY'S fixedness and FOREVERNESS.

This pinnacle of wondrous beauty is nothing less than the glorious RIGHTEOUSNESS that Almighty God has provided for His fallen creation. This Beauty is found nowhere else but in Christ Jesus, the Savior of the whole world (Rom. 10:4; 2 Cor. 5:21).

"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints" (Rev 19:6-8).

When one places their absolute trust in Jesus Christ and His saving grace, that individual is given the BEAUTY of the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God and ETERNAL Life (Psalms 7:17; 90:17; John 3:16,17).

God takes on Himself our shame and sinful hideousness, and He bestows on us the BEAUTY of His RIGHTEOUSNESS (Psalms 17:15; Isaiah 61:1-3; 64:6; Rom. 4:6, 22-24; 5:4; 1 Cor. 1:30; 2 Cor. 5:17; 1 John 3:2).

Oh, how will the redeemed of Almighty God shine and rejoice forever in the ETERNAL BEAUTY of the Lord! (Dan. 12:3; Matt. 13:43; 1 Cor. 2:9).

What About You?
.

May I ask you this very sobering question? Do you possess the Beauty of Righteousness that is found only in Jesus Christ? The Bible states in Isaiah 64:6 that “all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags [bloody menstrual cloths].” All earthly beauty will fade away, as countless billions have experienced and could testify. Only the Beauty of Almighty God’s Righteousness (state of perfection) will endure forever (Matt. 13:43; Rev. 22:11).

You do not know what will happen tomorrow (Proverbs 27:1). If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, may you do so even now by making that conscious decision to receive Him into your heart and life. Then shall your beauty endure FOREVER as the stars of FOREVER, and bliss and joy will you know forevermore (Matt 13:43; 1 Cor. 2:9). Place your trust in Him TODAY. Behold, now is the day of salvation (2 Cor. 6:2)! You will NEVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

What is Sin?

Almighty God Created You With An ETERNAL Divine Purpose

“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them” (Gen. 1:27). Almighty God made every person either male or female, and everything Almighty God does is ABSOLUTELY COMPLETE and RIGHT. He made absolutely no mistakes at the beginning of the creation (Gen. 1:31). We need to be the person Almighty God made us to be, both by creation and also by redemption: “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7).
.

If a biological male identifies as a female, then he should be allowed to be a female, according to the lawless rationale of our ETERNAL Creator, rejecting, relativistic, politically correct society.
.

We are now told by government and society that a person’s sex or gender is not determined by biology, but by psychology. Supposedly, each person may decide his or her own gender, based on one’s own subjective sense of identity. If a biological male identifies as a female, then he should be allowed to be a female according to the lawless rationale of our ETERNAL Creator, rejecting a relativistic, politically correct society. However, in other settings and realms of our culture, world, and thinking we do not allow this lawless rationality.

 We are now told that a person’s sex or gender is not determined by biology, but by psychology. Supposedly, each person may decide his or her own gender, based on one’s own subjective sense of identity.
.

Some examples: A girl suffering from anorexia could be very thin, but she sees herself as fat. To honor such wrong thinking could be disastrous for her. Also, can a Hispanic person or a Caucasian person suddenly declare himself to be Chinese or an Eskimo?  Is our ethnicity based on how we might self-identify? If we can change our birth sex, can we also change our birth date? Can a thirteen-year-old identify as a 21-year-old who would be legally able to vote, drive, and drink?  Can a 5'10" basketball player become a 6'7" player just by seeing himself as taller? Would his height delusion or the demanding of society to receive his delusion improve his game?  When we leave the realm of reality, there is no end to the nonsense that results (Rom. 1:18-32). Dear friends, is this not a simple matter to discern? But in the mind of millions, it all comes down to one's own personal rebellion, lawless selfish ambitions, and narcissistic thinking; that all are expendable and must be forced to keep one's illusion and delusion alive and intact.

We tell Almighty God, I want to be what I want to be and live the way that I want to live, and don't you dare judge me or shed any ETERNAL REALITY on my subjective delusion.

Dear friends, does not the world do the very same thing when it comes to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God? We who are fallen sinners tell Almighty God that we are RIGHTEOUS and DO NOT need His propitiation and Savior (Psalm 14, John 3:16-21, 1 John 1:8-10)! We tell and demand of Almighty God, I want to be what I want to be and live the way that I want to live, and don't you dare judge me or shed any ETERNAL REALITY on my subjective delusion! Dear friends, that mindset is the true fulfillment and heart of all such crazy thinking in our world today!

The all-wise ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator does all things well, and for us to lecture Him and condemn Him is indeed the height and zenith of man's insanity and rebellion!

The all-wise ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator does all things well, and for us to lecture Him and condemn Him is indeed the height and zenith of man's insanity and rebellion! Now, dear friends, back to the topic at hand: Our sex is not our own personal choice, but rather it is part of God’s perfect plan for our lives for His glory. We need - as human beings - to be content with who we are, because we are very precious in God’s sight. Dear friends, that is the wonder of it all; that Almighty God loved us so much that He sent His Son to be our propitiation for our sins and seeks to redeem us to be Whom He intended us to be from the beginning of creation (Gen. 1:30, John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4). Almighty God loves us ETERNALLY too much to compromise and allow us to live in our sinful delusion and to deceive us that we are fit for ETERNITY when we are not.

Almighty God loves us ETERNALLY too much to compromise and allow us to live in our sinful delusion and to deceive us that we are fit for ETERNITY.

Do you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior? To know Him is to know forgiveness, pardon, REALITY, and RIGHTEOUSNESS! If you do not, we would like for you to do our Gospel of John Challenge so that you can see for yourself how much Jesus loves you!

All Is Darkness and an Unsolvable Mystery to Unbelieving America

Only Almighty God has and offers the answers that Americans so desperately need today in 2025;  WITHOUT Almighty God’s Word and revelation ALL is a mystery! ALL is darkness! ALL is hopelessness! ALL is unanswerable! ALL is despair! ALL is vanity! A man, woman, boy or girl MUST be born again and regenerated to FULLY comprehend, see and possess Almighty God's revelation and the ETERNAL picture of our day (John 3:3-7, Rom. 8:5-9, 1 Cor. 2:9-16). 
  

WITHOUT Almighty God’s Word and revelation ALL is a mystery! ALL is unanswerable!

My friend, do not deceive yourselves with false hopes, false vain ambitions, false saviors, and false Utopian visions that can NEVER come to pass in this sin ravished world (Gal. 1:4). My friend, do the very best that you can in this hour for the critical and fatal condition of our nation and world, but do NOT place ALL your trust in it my friend, see the BIG picture from Heaven’s ETERNAL perspective and be sure that your trust is in the saving grace of Almighty God which is ONLY found in Jesus Christ (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 4:12).

When Will There Be Peace in Israel? The Return of the KING!

Since the October 7th 2023 horrific massacre against Israel civilians by Hamas; we have seen Israel decimate their arch demonic enemies and establish a surface peace and security not seen since its reestablishing in 1948. Dear friends, in light of these great victories, please do not be deceived into thinking that peace has finally come to Israel; though there is much to be hopeful for. Biblically, Gog’s invasion with his Islamic nation allies is yet to be and is at the very door (Ezek. 38-39). Then following after that; the most horrific time of all; Jacob’s Trouble and the Day of the Lord (Ezek. 38-39; Zech. 12-14; Rev. 12). Beloved, TRUE and EVERLASTING peace will ONLY come to Israel after the Divine global judgement and bloodbath called the Day of the Lord. It will be at the end of this time that Israel will finally receiving their Messiah, Propitiation, Savior and King (Dan. 2:43-45; 7:13-14; 9:27; Dan. 12; Zech. 12-14; Rev. 6-19).

Biblically, the absolute worst is yet to be for Israel! It will be the ravishing of Israel under the anti-Christ, climaxing with the global bloodbath of Armageddon at Messiah's glorious return that will finally bring about a TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE to Jerusalem (the City of Peace) and to the nation of Israel.

What Israel and the nations have attempted for centuries and could NEVER achieve will finally be accomplished at Almighty God the Son’s second coming to earth (Psalm 2, 24:7-10, 110, Isa. 2:3, 9:6-7, 33:22, 51:5,61:1-11, Dan. 2:34-35, 44-45, 7:13-14, Micah 4:1-3, Zech. 14:16-21, Rev. 19:11-21).
...

It will be ONLY by the Prince of Peace that TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE will come to the City of Jerusalem (Isa. 9:6-7, 33:5, 53:5, 62;1, Jer. 33:16, Zech 8:3, Matt. 5:35, Rom. 10:2-4, Eph. 2:12-19, Col. 1:20, Heb. 1:3, 10:7-14). How many in vain throughout the ages have sought and prayed in sincerity for the peace of Jerusalem WITHOUT knowledge nor understanding (Isa. 29:13, 58:1-8, Matt. 7:21-23, 15:3, 7-9, Mark 12:24)? Throughout the last 2600 years, how many sons of Abraham have totally missed the reality and truth of the Holy Scriptures of just how this Divine peace MUST be established (Deut. 9:6, 28-30,31:27, Lev. 26, Psalm 78, Isa. 53:5, Ezek. 12:2, Dan 9:26, Matt. 15:3-7-9, Luke 13:34-35, Acts 7, Rom. 9-11, Rev. 1:7).

Throughout the last 2600 years, how many sons of Abraham have totally missed the reality and truth of the Holy Scriptures of just how this Divine peace MUST be established.

My dear friend, please try to comprehend that ALL current global events are indeed heading to this destination and EXPONENTIALLY beyond (Rev. 19:11-21)! Remember the words of the Lord Jesus in which He specifically told His disciples to pray, “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven (Matt. 6:9-10).” Oh my beloved! How many people pray this prayer day after day and are absolutely oblivious to what it is testifying to and stating! “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

It will indeed take the horrific seven-year tribulation period to wake up the Jew and the gentile nations to this reality (Isa. 24:5-6, Rev. 6:14-17, 17:2). There is absolutely NO hope for Israel and the nations of the world apart for their Creator and Savior, Jesus Messiah (John 3:16-17, Eph. 2:12-16, Heb 1:2-3). It will NOT be until the Jew is reconciled with Jehovah God and receive their Messiah as their sacrificial lamb, propitiation, and Savior that the nations WILL BE BLESSED (Isa. 2:1-4, 19:23-25, Micah 4:1-4, Zech. 8:23, Rom. 11:12) and TRUE DIVINE PEACE will go forth out of Jerusalem unto the entire world (Isa. 2:3-4,33:16, 62:1, Jer. 33:5)!

It will NOT be until the Jew is reconciled with Jehovah God and receive their Messiah as their sacrificial lamb, propitiation and Savior that the nations WILL BE BLESSED and TRUE DIVINE PEACE will go forth out of Jerusalem unto the entire world.

My friend, do you have a saving relationship to Jesus Messiah the Savior of the world (Psalm 110:1, Isa. 43:11,52:13-15, 53)? All depends on this very union. His death, burial, and resurrection to the Right Hand of Almighty God is the centerpiece of all ETERNITY (Gen. 22:8, Psalm 110:1, Isa. 53, 1 Cor. 15:1-4, Rev. 1:18,13:8, 21-22:1-5). He will indeed come back to establish His Kingdom on His earth and the gates of Hell shall not nor NEVER prevent this from happening (Dan. 2:44-45, 7:13-14, Rev. 1:7, 16:13-16, 19:11-21).

As the days grow nearer to the Day of the Lord be sure that you know the Savior and Messiah of Israel as dictated by the Holy Scriptures! MARANATHA ☁️☝️☁️

Baalism's Suicidal Nature Worship and Sexual Decadence (Earth Day)

Much of ancient Israel’s plight, well documented throughout the Old Testament, was its insatiable thirst for pagan nature worship. This of course was in direct violation of the first two commandments of the Mosaic Law which commanded Israel not to worship any other false god or idol (Exodus 20:3-4). The reason why Israel was forbidden to worship other gods, the natural created order, and idols, was given in Genesis. Genesis 1 presents to the reader an ultimate Creator who made the universe out of nothing through His omnipotent spoken word, and then climaxed the creation process with the making of man in His own image. This foundational truth is in fact basic to the first two commandments of the Mosaic Constitution, the rest of which was summarized by the Son of God Himself, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments (Matthew 22:36-40).”

The worship of God as the Creator and human ethics went hand in hand in the Mosaic Law.

In other words, the worship of God as the Creator and human ethics went hand in hand in the Mosaic Law. The first four commandments demand love for God. Commandment five demands love for parents, and commandments six through ten demand love for others. Man was thus to worship and love God as His Maker, and the best way to fulfill this was to treat one’s neighbor with love and respect precisely because he too was made in God’s image. As such, the entire Mosaic legislation was written with the reality of Genesis 1 in mind, and once this truth was forgotten or compromised by idolatrous nature worship, love and respect for both God and man are inevitably diminished. This placed Israel upon the downhill slide of a preoccupation with all things superficial, which snowballed into anti-human asceticism during the divided kingdom stage, and bottomed out with human sacrifice and cannibalism at the end of line for both Israel in the north (722 BC) and Judah in the south (586 BC).
.

Israel’s Adulterous Affair with the Nature god Baal

During the divided kingdom stage after Solomon (931-586 BC), God punished both the house of Israel and Judah by sending them into exile because they adopted pagan nature worship as their unofficial national religion, imported from the surrounding Canaanite countryside. Shockingly, this thirst for foreign nature worship is often described in graphic sexual language to heighten the shameful offensiveness of their actions. In Jeremiah, the kingdom of Judah is compared to “a wild donkey accustomed to the wilderness that sniffs the wind in her passion. In the time of heat who can turn her away? All who seek her will not become weary; in her month they will find her (Jeremiah 2:24).” In the same context just a few verses back, the text reads “for long ago I broke your yoke and tore off your bonds; but you said ‘I will not serve!’ For on every high hill and under every green tree you have lain down as a harlot (Jeremiah 2:20).” Worse is that the idols which Israel bowed down to in their pagan nature worship were compared to sexual toys, “because of the lightness of her harlotry, she polluted the land and committed adultery with stones and trees (Jeremiah 3:9).” Nature worship was thus seen as a form of spiritual adultery. The Old Testament prophets compared it to prostitution. Hence, Israel had broken her ‘marriage vows’ with the Mosaic Covenant, which she had entered into at Mt. Sinai after they had come out of Egypt.
. 

Shockingly, this thirst for foreign nature worship is often described in graphic sexual language to heighten the shameful offensiveness of their actions.

This pagan nature worship was purposefully described with such graphic sexual language precisely because cult prostitution and sexual mysticism was a big part of the nature worship process. Sexual fertility cults and the desire for a corresponding agricultural fertility were weaved together into a pornographic nature worship scheme that corrupted the entire nation and its people. Throughout Israel’s and Judah’s history, this deviant and natural instinctual behavior, in great contrast to the dictates of the Mosaic Law, was most often associated with the worship of the nature god Baal. Baal was the god of grain and the god of thunder. He was in fact the weather god. The name Baal itself simply means ‘lord.’ Thus, as the tribal lord of the people and the land, Baal was not only often confused with the ‘Lord’ of the Old Testament, but he was also in charge of agricultural fertility and the weather.

Thus, in addition to sexual abandon, the worship of Baal also incorporated harsh ascetic practices into their nature worship as well.

However, Baal was not all powerful like the Hebrew God. On the contrary, he was forced each and every year to have a life and death struggle with the god of death, Mot, reflecting the fate of the seasons. Baal dies every summer under the excessive heat and drought. Baal however, with the help of sexual and bloody rituals, comes back to life to defeat Mot for the cooler autumn weather and the fall rain. Thus the chaotic weather was blamed on the struggle between Baal and Mot, which could only be pacified through cultic prostitution on the one hand and strict asceticism on the other. Thus, in addition to sexual abandon, the worship of Baal also incorporated harsh ascetic practices into their nature worship as well. Ecstatic pleasure and bloody pain were used to propitiate the nature gods for the sake of fair weather (1 Kings 18:25-29). Thus, Baal nature worship was completely indulgent with regard to sexual mysticism on the one hand, but overly strict, harsh, and severe on the other hand with regard to ascetic practices, with occasional bouts of human sacrifice along the way (2 Kings 17:28-41). Worst of all is that much energy and riches were spent in the promotion and practice of the cult. Israel wasted its wealth and activities on the worship of Baal, which eventually led to the nation’s downfall.

Isaiah 57 records the loss of spiritual leadership that contributed to the suicidal demise of the nation where “the righteous man perishes, and no man takes it to heart; and the devout men are taken away, while no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from evil (Isaiah 57:1)” Here Isaiah notes while the good men die off and are taken away to paradise, on the earth no one replaces them. Left behind are the nature worshiping counter culture rebels of society, “against whom do you jest? Against whom do you open wide your mouth and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of rebellion, offspring of deceit, who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter the children in the ravines, under the clefts of the crags? (Isaiah 57:4-5).” Here is seen nature worship, sexual abandon, and child sacrifice all rolled up into one outdoor whore house of death.

Here is seen nature worship, sexual abandon, and child sacrifice all rolled up into one outdoor whore house of death.

Not surprisingly, this contradictory lifestyle of sexual license and strict asceticism/human sacrifice was foisted upon the people by the cultivated crowd, the elites of the society. They, of course, were far more influenced by the surrounding Canaanite religious culture than by the Mosaic Constitution. Nonetheless, the commoners often enjoyed nature worship as much as their leaders, leaving prophets of the Old Testament sometimes comparing themselves to jackals (Micah 1:8), or roaming the streets of Jerusalem looking for at least one righteous man (Jeremiah 5:1-14). As such, the population at large was completely oblivious to the approaching doom which the Old Testament prophets foresaw. The fact that this downhill process was over 200 years in the making only contributed further to their false sense of security.
.

Israel’s Nature Worship Destroyed Their Economy & Agriculture

So addicting were such cultic practices that the Canaanite nature religion slowly and inexorably enveloped the entire country and completely corrupted its religious, political and business institutions, eventually bleeding God’s people dry (Hosea 2:1-13). It was a long painstaking process, but it finally choked off what was left of the Mosaic Constitution and the associated blessings of the promised land, leaving the country in agricultural and economic misery. The agricultural and economic prosperity which God richly gave them was wasted on Baal nature worship (Hosea 2:8). Wallowing in such self induced misery and poverty, the depopulation of the promised land ensued. Finally, nature religion finished Israel off with child sacrifice (2 Kings 17:1-18). The fertility of nature was often associated with the killing of children. Thus, in the Northern Kingdom of Israel, what started out with freedom under the rule of law (Exodus), devolved into nature mysticism and political tyranny (1 Kings 21), which collapsed under conspiracy and military coups, and finally ended with the Assyrian invasion and exile (2 Kings 14:28-17:18) in 722 BC. Even Judah ignominiously ended with child sacrifice and ultimately cannibalism (Jeremiah 19:1-13) during the Babylonian invasion 120 years later.
.

Wallowing in such self induced misery and poverty, the depopulation of the promised land ensued. Finally, nature religion finished Israel off with child sacrifice.

In the book of Hosea, because of the northern kingdom of Israel’s false nature worship, the God of the Old Testament promises to turn the agricultural prosperity of the promised land into a wilderness unable to feed its people, “I will destroy her vines and fig trees, of which she said, ‘these are my wages which my lovers have given me.’ And I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field will devour them. I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she used to sacrifice to them and adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry, and follow her lovers, so that she forgot about Me (Hosea 2:12-13).”

The same judgment also befell the southern kingdom of Judah because of her own idolatrous nature worship. Isaiah predicts a Jewish Dust Bowl of biblical proportions (Isaiah 5:6, 10-15, 24). In the book of Micah, God determined that He would turn the mountainous Jerusalem temple area into a forest unfit for true religious worship (Micah 3:12). By Ezekiel’s day, at the end of the long road to destruction, nature worship left Judah in a slaughterhouse specifically designed by God to teach the nation a most serious lesson, “then you will know that I Am the Lord, when the slain are among their idols around their altars, on every green tree and under every leafy oak – the places where they offered soothing aroma to their idols (Ezekiel 6:13).” Thus in the end, nature worship sacrificed the Jewish people with a counter culture religion loaded with backward motivations, goals and practices where the creation was worshiped rather than the Creator. That such a subversive and regressive form of nature worship led to both the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles is hardly surprising.

Nature worship and environmentalism has been slowly replacing America's Judeo-Christian heritage that so many have taken for granted.

Nature worship and environmentalism has been slowly replacing America's Judeo-Christian heritage that so many have taken for granted.  This 'evolutionary' process largely began in America in the 1960's as the sexual revolution coincided with a 'get back to nature' attitude that continues unabated to this day.  In fact, America's previous love for the pioneering days of old has been hijacked by a romanticized view of nature that is far more in line with what the original pioneers fought against when they tamed the western frontier.  The Genesis mandate to subdue and fill the earth (Genesis 1:26-31) was part and parcel of the Manifest Destiny doctrine that conquered the west.  Today, this has become an embarassment to the modern American mindset.  This reveals a vast change of attitude that is far reaching in its consequences, and has the potential to completely reverse what originally built America.  Furthermore, this 'get back to nature' attitude is not something new.  It has its roots in ancient paganism, and the best historical example that can be found anywhere to understand what America is currently being faced with is to return back to the Old Testament.  Israel, after having conquered the promised land (Joshua - 1400 BC), later became infatuated with nature worship beliefs called Baalism (850-600 BC).  This change of attitude eventually led to the nation's demise.  It completely reversed the conquest of Joshua and sent the nation packing into the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles respectively.
