My friends, it is not too hard to see - for those who adhere to light and right - what our present day is all about (John 3:19-21, 8:32, 36). Our day has become so dark, so deviant, so lawless and yes relativistic that the average Joe or Sally is totally oblivious to Divine REALITY, ETERNAL truths and moral absolutes (2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph.2:1-2, 6:12, 1 John 2:15-17). Today absolutes are so twisted out of proportion and words and morals are redefined to legitimize lawlessness and godlessness. Good is called evil and evil good (Isa. 5:20)! Such were the days in which Isaiah the prophet spoke about and here we are today with the very same spirit at work in our nation (Isa. 5:20).
My dear friend, our day is only going to get worse until we as a nation finally implode on ourselves (Gal. 6:7). Decadence, lawlessness and moral relativism are now the dominant ideology of our land. We indeed as a nation have apostatized not just from Almighty God and His Word but from moral absolutes as well. Indeed America has apostatised spiritually and well as morally (2 Thess. 2:3). The result of this apostasy is very evident today throughout our U.S. culture and society and its lawless effects have decimated (spiritual and socially) our children and inhabitants.

It is easy to deduce that the secular liberal lawless mind - void of Almighty God and moral ABSOLUTES - is the exceedingly far greater evil and threat to our culture and society than the manufactured evil straw man of godless men (i.e., BIBLICAL Christianity) -Rom. 1:18-32).
My dear friends, the inmates are now running the asylum and Washington and the media and have saturated their lawless mindset on the American people who are all too willing to receive it (2 Tim 4:3). That is the REALITY of our day, receive it or not. For those us who know the Lord, may Almighty God’s Word be your sanity, aid and give us the light we need in these darkened days. May we choose to be kept, rooted and grounded in Almighty God's precious Word as Almighty God's ambassadors; ever showing forth the LIFE of Christ as we as a nation and world head strait into the Day of the Lord. Even so come Lord Jesus! is our sanity in this hour!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

There is no such thing as "America" referred to as a whole. It is not a single entity, but it is made of an amalgam of all sorts of people. God deals with individauls not countries, however it does make for some inaccurate sensationalism. Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. The continuing referrence to "America" represents an idolatrous view of the nation in which God has planted us. It is an easy target. But judgement begins in the church!
ReplyDeleteThe Fisherman is correct, and the post was well put. God deals with individuals and not “countries” you stated……………
ReplyDeletePerhaps the most clear indication of God's interaction with nations today may be found in Jeremiah 18:5-11: "At one moment I (God) might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to uproot, to pull down, or to destroy it" (Jer. 18:7). Verse 8 continues, "If that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent concerning the calamity I planned to bring on it." "Or at another moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to build up or to plant it" (Jer. 18:9). Verse 10 demonstrates God's reaction to a nation: "If it does evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will think better of the good with which I had promised to bless it."
Jeremiah 18: makes it clear that blessings and curses upon a nation depend upon their collective relationship with God as a nation. God who is the same yesterday and today. Our interpretation of God's Word may change from time to time. But, God does not change. Accountability for our actions as an individual, but also as a nation is a universal principle. It applies to Jews, Christians, Japan, Russia, America, (1 Cor. 6:3) and every sentient being throughout the universe.
There is nothing idolatrous referring to America as a nation in regard's to God's judgement, indeed it is in line with God’s Word.
I would suggest that it is idolatrous to suggest God does not deal with nations…..
The people who read our two posts can decide for themselves which is correct.
Good post Fisherman, keep up the labor for the Lord.
Maranatha.
You are actually both correct. God most certainly deals with nations as a whole and also with individuals at judgement.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Fishermen & with Anonymous above! There are so many other verses about God dealing with nations e.g. Ps 9:17- The wicked shall be turned into hell, & all the nations that forget God.
