"...As Never Before"

         The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in its November issue of Decision Magazine brought back a warning from Reverend Graham from 1957 to American Christians. I'll give just one phrase from that article and it is pertaining to reading God's Word..."Begin reading....as never before." Those words jumped out at me....."as never before."  The entire article can be read on the ministry website. 
         I have never sought to have readers come back again and again to read what I have to say. I have only wanted them to read enough to see that our nation is in deep trouble, that its very existence is in peril, and that if our enemies succeed, which they are doing, they will have been commissioned by God as judgements upon us. Once anyone becomes aware of this then it is God's Word where our eyes should be affixed... everyday...throughout everyday. Thus I often bring back older posts because of new visitors. I will add this though...if you are coming to see that the dangers of these days are like no others and that God has been specifically warning us for well over fifty years then please consider passing this web address on. The following are three short posts from the past:

...Nor Should We Want It To

          In my opinion this great American Experiment, as it has been called, has ended. That which we once possessed we no longer possess. The reasons of which are for other posts but we, as a people, no longer have the ability to think with discernment and wisdom or even at most times with common sense. In spiritual terminology... God had blinded our eyes. We will never return to the global hegemony that we once had nor should we want to.... if such a nation parcels out baby parts as if we were a human butcher shop and sacrifices many of those who do survive pregnancy to our own goals and desires for personal autonomy regardless of God's laws.
          Our hope is actually much greater than returning to what we were! God's judgement upon America has long since begun, the primary instrument being Barack Obama. We have already been greatly humbled, we just don't realize it yet. If we do continue on as a nation, and if Jesus Christ tarries in His return, we will of necessity be a God-fearing people once again. Our entertainments will have been greatly moderated, our riches dispersed by the winds of war and economic collapse, our arrogance deflated and our reverence for He who blessed and sustained us as a people for over four centuries.....renewed.
          Nonetheless, those of us who realize that we have brought this all upon ourselves must carry on. We cannot quit. Whatever time God gives this nation that is in the throes of a suicide attempt must be used in sober-mindedness, seeking to rebuild walls, restoring pillars and shoring up foundations, uncertain if God will bless the effort but assured that His will is perfect whether it be accomplished with a rod or a staff.

Irreversible

         Simply put, there is no undoing the damage to America that we have done to ourselves but most particularly the damage Barack Hussein Obama has inflicted upon us in the last six years. From a purely secular perspective, it is irreversible.
         He has weakened us, torn us apart, aided and motivated our enemies, destroyed that which was good and force fed us that which is evil. He is a man without a country, an emperor with no clothes and a book with no truth not even words or pages, only two covers with a hammer and sickle on one and a star and crescent on the other. And the price of the book?.....your country, your family and your soul!         
         Race and sexual orientation issues are for political expediency and revolutionary impetus and nothing else. He fills out a March Madness bracket, not because of his interest in the tournament but to focus the American public's attention on themselves and not the war being waged upon them.
         God's judgement upon America has begun. How the mighty have become fools! How the powerful have fallen upon their own swords! How our shepherds have failed to protect their flocks!

Jonah Or Nahum

         In the nineteenth chapter of Exodus God gave the the people of Israel specific instructions to prepare for a very special event. He was going to come down to His people at Mount Sinai and He would give Moses the Ten Commandments. In the fourth chapter of Amos God told them once again to prepare. He told them very clearly, through Amos, that He had given them warning after warning in the form of punishments and concluded each time with "Yet you have not returned to me." Then came His ominous proclamation "Prepare to meet your God, O Israel."

         In the book of Jonah, as we all know, God, through Jonah, gave Nineveh forty days to repent. The king and all the people did just that. Over a century later God sent another prophet to Nineveh, Nahum. There was no warning this time, only a proclamation of impending judgement!
         A war is raging in America. You are in the midst of it. Can you not feel the tremors of the battle or hear the thunder of the canon fire? I wrote the following words in a previous post, for much of America despises God and cringes at the mention of His name or any legislation or public policy that even acknowledges His very being: Terror, thy name is Jesus and thy weapon is truth. We will make laws to protect us from you. We will isolate those whom you send to us. We will ban your book. You have disquieted us, your words upset us. We do not recognize your holiness. You are not our king. We will not pay you homage. You are not our God for there is no God. We were your slaves but now we are free. If you desire to live here, you will do our bidding.

          'Prepare to meet your God, O America' would go in one ear and out the other to many in America. For the rest... Lord, send us Jonahs if it be thy will, and give us strength if your message is that of Nahum!
