Judgment?

There has been much talk and speculation lately about the possibility of the United States falling into the judgment of the Lord for it's sins.

The parallels with the judgment of Israel in Isaiah 9:10 are absolutely stunning, to say the least.  But can it be true?

We know that the nation that we live in today has gone down a slippery slope since that sorrowful day of September 11th, 2001.  It has slipped into a cesspool of materialism; not valuing human life; terrorism; disrespecting authority; same sex relationships, and now marriage; persecution of Christians who respect and believe the Bible; and last, but not least, disrespecting the word and laws of the Lord.

Are we better than Israel?  Would He judge them, after entering into a covenant with their nation, which includes following and respecting His laws...and then not judge our nation for the same sin?  Of course not.

Right now, our nation is standing on "spiritual quicksand."  We have been warned.

In the Book of Jeremiah a warning is given to repent and turn to God.  The destruction of Jerusalem stands as a memorial for all time, that when a nation rejects God, the inevitable result will be ruin.  Jeremiah also has a message of hope.  Although Judah has abandoned God, God has not abandoned them...and would once again show Himself mighty on their behalf, if they turn from their wicked ways.

It is up to this nation...the ball is in our court.  Will we foolishly reject the God of our nation's founding fathers...and suffer disgrace and ruin...or, will we fall upon our knees and ask for forgiveness, turning from our wicked ways?

The choice is ours.

until He comes...
