Weather forecasters
have learned to look for certain conditions in predicting and warning of
severe storms. Hot, moist, low pressure systems colliding with a strong
cold front is often the perfect recipe for violent weather and
destructive storms.
Most people are not aware that a severe storm is brewing in our society. Things may look very normal, but conditions now exist that will ultimately produce severe consequences that will affect every person, young and old.
Americans are obsessed with the issue of fixing our broken economy. We are in great hopes that selecting the right candidate to lead our country will also lead us to recovery and greater prosperity. But, the fact is, there are issues greater than the economy that will have far greater effects upon the future of our beloved land! The Lord has even told us -- "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." Matthew 6:33
The Prophet Daniel spoke of the
destruction of ancient
Jerusalem
. . .
the city that God called His own . . . the “apple of His eye . . .
the city of peace! In the very first verse of Daniel’s prophecy, Daniel
declared that the “Lord gave Jehoiakim, king of
Judah, into the hand of
Nebuchadnezzar.” WHY would
the Lord allow His city to be destroyed by the bloodthirsty hordes of
Babylon?
There are several reasons why ancient Jerusalem was destroyed by a heathen king and judged by God and we would be wise to learn from the mistakes of others:
1. The Scriptures declare that because of the sins of a wicked king named Manasseh, God would allow the capitol city of Jerusalem to be totally destroyed. Manasseh “did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD. (2 Kings 21:2) His sins were even greater than the heathen nations which occupied God’s land before it was given to the Hebrews. Manasseh promoted false worship, sacrificed one of his sons at the altar of a heathen idol, and “filled Jerusalem with innocent blood.” The killing of the innocent was so detestable in the eyes of the Lord, that God declared that He would not pardon their sin. (2 Kings 24:3-4)
This does not imply that murderers or mothers who abort their unborn children cannot be forgiven. There is great grace and mercy for the repentant. (1 John 1:7,9) But a nation that promotes such sin, is setting itself up for terrible wrath and judgment.
Manasseh was also
promoting
great immorality and perversion
which went hand in hand with
the disgusting idol worship that he loved. He should have learned from
the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, that God does not tolerate
societies that promote perversion as a normal life-style . . .
eventually judgment falls.
One of the greatest
tragedies of our "cultural revolution" is the aggressive effort of
sodomites to spread this immorality and perversion to our young people.
This is being promoted in our public schools, in the film and
entertainment industries, and on public and network television.
2. For four hundred and ninety years, the people had refused to obey the commandment of the LORD to let the land lie dormant every seventh year. They were misusing God’s land and they would pay the price. For seventy years, the people were removed to Babylon, and the land rested for those seventy “sabbatical” years that the people had ignored! (Leviticus 25:1-7, Jeremiah 25:11) The land of Israel is God’s land and He did not permit the residents to desecrate and misuse it. The Lord has a way of balancing the books!
3. Scripture also tells us that the religious, self-righteous Jewish people were just gong through the motions of serving the Lord and that they had lost the joy of serving Him despite the fact that God had abundantly blessed them. (Deuteronomy 28:47-48) This reminds us of the old adage – “Quit your complaining or I will give you something to complain about.”
MODERN DAY APPLICATION:
As Americans, we have
been wonderfully blessed by the provision and protection of God for well
over 200 years . . . and now our nation is officially expelling God from
our national life.
The Ten Commandments are no longer lawful to display
in our court rooms or class rooms.
Prayer has been outlawed in our
public schools . . .
although someone has wisely suggested that as long
as there are math quizzes and tests, students will be praying silently!
As a nation,
our
government has also taken the position of promoting immorality and
perversion.
Speaking out against sodomy and sexual perversion is now
considered a “hate crime” and legislation forbidding such criticism may
soon become law. It seems that everything right is being declared
wrong, and everything wrong is being declared right!
Then, there is
the
slaughter of the innocent.
To date, over 18 million silent victims have
been butchered at the bloody hands of abortionists. This terrible crime
is being funded and promoted by our government. The issue of funding
Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with women’s healthcare but it has
everything to do with the promotion of aborting unwanted children. If
we, as a nation, elect any leader who funds and promotes the slaughter
of our babies, how can we expect God to bless us economically? Instead,
we are blowing the winds of a perfect storm of judgment.
It is very sad that
the "conservative" challenger in our presidential race does not dare to
mention morality . . . the people don't want to hear it! "Fix our
economy" is the call of the masses . . . and "don't tell us what is
right or wrong"!
Last, but not least,
God has warned people that they will come under the curse of the
Almighty if they stand against His people, Israel.
Genesis 12:3 is
crystal clear when God told Abraham “I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curses thee.”
Every president since Jimmy Carter has
pushed Israel
to trade land for peace. God has even warned us that the
land
of Israel belongs to the LORD .
. . and it is not to be traded or divided. (Joel 3:2) The
role of America in the eviction of Jews from their covenant land has
been instrumental in bringing about political disruption, natural
disasters, economic hardship, and violence against the United States.
Under intense
pressure from our State Department, Israel was forced to comply with
U.N. Resolution 242, requiring Israel to give up the land it acquired as
a result of Israel’s war for survival in 1967. Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon unilaterally gave up Gaza as a peace offering to the Palestinians
with Samaria and Judea not far behind. The Palestinians answered with
the slogan
“Gaza today, Jerusalem tomorrow.” Palestinian leaders at the
Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and at Islamic Jehad now claim victory and
are demanding Jerusalem as their capitol. President Obama is now
asserting pressure upon Israel to divide the ancient City of Jerusalem.
Perhaps this will be the final ingredient in brewing up the perfect storm . .
. America will someday be judged and that judgment may already be
underway!
Will America support
Israel in her defense against a nuclear armed Iran? Only time will
tell. Failure to stand with Israel could become catastrophic, not only
in the Middle East, but in our own beloved nation as well. May God’s mercy
and grace be upon us and help us to chose God-fearing leaders!
CONCLUDING THOUGHT:
No nation that has basked in the light of God's grace and the gospel,
and then turned away from that light, has or will survive very long.
When representatives of a country endorse immorality, perversion,
the slaughter of the innocent, and stand against God's ancient nation,
Israel, that is one thing. But if the PEOPLE support and
endorse such leaders, they are facing great consequences. God
will not be mocked.
Note: It is interesting that
immediately after each instance of forcing Israel to surrender more land
to their enemies, the United States has suffered some sort of “natural
disaster”. JUST A COINCIDENCE? Maybe . . . but I don't
think so . . .
