The cast of a Broadway show, along with the audience, verbally accosted one of the finest men in our government, before and even during the stage performance. Some passengers in first class of an American Airlines flight hissed and booed as a Gold Star family, announced to the passengers as a 'special military family', was permitted to exit the plane first in order for them to make their connection to Dover Air Force Base and accept the body of their son who was just killed in Afghanistan. Whether these passengers knew this was a Gold Star family or not, the booing of an announced 'special military family' was terribly sad and indicative of how far we have fallen as a people. The mayor of Bloomington, Indiana just officially renamed Good Friday as Spring Holiday... supposedly to be more 'inclusive'...but which now excludes probably hundreds of thousands of others in the area in what was their traditional commemoration of the day.
What we are witnessing is a backlash against God. With either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, one very large portion of America was secure in that God would mostly certainly be held at bay. These people now perceive that they have had their defenses against God torn down. It's not that they fear that Donald Trump is a Christian for they do not, it's that they fear that the government will no longer be their ally, which it most probably will not, because of the people who put Donald Trump into office. The following post describes the clash within America that may culminate in a proclamation.
Jonah Or Nahum.....May, 2014
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!
