I feel that it's necessary to occasionally bring this November 2017 post back to the front. We....conservatives....form many of our opinions on a false proposition.....that being that God looks favorably upon America because of who we in fact are. If that were the case then some of the confidence on His protective hand upon us would be justified....but God does not look favorably upon us....for we have long ago left Him for other suitors. He has warned us for forty years through His faithful servants. We just can't come to grips with this....and because of this we continue to miss His warnings....and in essence continue to attempt to establish our own security on our own terms and in our own power....and this cannot be done.
"For she does not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and
lavished on her silver and gold, which they used for Baal."
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, Because you have rejected knowledge."
"They will....seek the LORD, but they will not find Him; for He has withdrawn from them."
"Put the trumpet to your lips! Like an eagle the enemy comes against the house of the LORD."
"They have set up kings, but not by Me...."
"The days of punishment have come....let Israel know this!"
"They speak mere words, With worthless oaths they make covenants...."
"Because you have trusted in your way, in your numerous warriors, Therefore, a tumult will
arise among your people..."
"Therefore, return to your God....For there is no savior besides Me."
"Whoever is wise, let him understand these things...."
Hosea 2:8, 4:6, 5:6, 8:1,4, 9:7, 10:4,13,14, 12:6, 14:9
"It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes." Ps. 118: 8 repeated in verse 9!

We are walking through the cities of Sodom and Babel blinded by neon and stadium lights. We get few warnings from the church while our Bible studies tend to be true and valuable but unobtrusive as to laying out before us the condition of our own churches or our own modern lives. All of this of course would work against the popular gospel of the day that promises your best life ever. Patriotism and attempts at restoring America to greatness have assuaged any guilt that we are indeed a nation fully in rebellion to the One who we owe our very existence to. (Tonight....July 5, 2018....in a rally in Montana......President Trump described our nation this way......"One glorious nation under God")
God Did not Commission....'Make America Great Again'
We have legally killed nearing sixty million babies in the womb since 1973. Nearly half of the American public celebrates this....celebrates! Planned Parenthood continues to be funded by our government after the 2016 election....and even after the Omnibus bill! Recently the Trump administration announced plans to force Planned Parenthood type organizations to either split into abortion and non-abortion entities or lose Title X funding. It will take a few months to see how this plays out. Behind the scenes Ivanka met in 2017 with the president of Planned Parenthood and floated a deal.....split your organization....and do the abortions under another name. Two recent polls.....NBC and Fox....found that Planned Parenthood was the most popular organization in America! And you do not think that God will judge America?
The gay agenda began its final blitzkrieg within the past decade and has succeeded in legalizing...which is in effect endorsing....marriage between a man and a man...and a woman and a woman.....which is also in effect officially invalidating and rejecting God and the Bible. Our children are slowly being forced to accept this. We don;t even talk about this anymore. And you do not think that God's patience is at an end?
We have long ago given up our children to what once was referred to as Madison Avenue. In other words nameless people and peopleless corporations are free to raid our youth with the selling of their merchandise that not only subjugates them but indoctrinates them. We now educate solely to provide employees for the ultra rich to become even richer. Whole generations of beautiful young minds have been devastated....devastated in our Deweyite miseducation system. Violent entertainments and the occult are not even frowned upon. School atrocities continue while we refuse to look into the areas that harm the minds of our younger generations. And you do not think that God's warnings are literal?
Communism, playing upon our lack of discernment and vigilance, not only moved into positions of power in our government, culminating in the Oval Office during the Obama administration, and also our culture in the various protest movements, but were successful in causing ridicule to be heaped upon anyone who was discerning enough to know what happened and actually warn others. We use the term 'the Left' so as not to linked to conspiracy theorists who claim that Communism is behind our crumbling culture....but that term is of little benefit anymore.
This almost other-worldly globalist species of multi-billionaires may be about to finally get their one-world government, which should be an alarm to anyone who reads their Bible, and yet we laugh at those who actually believe that the return of Jesus Christ in power, judgment and glory is near?
We are falling-down drunk in our entertainments, drugging our children so as not to disturb our buzz, as our supposed passionate cause for mankind is demonstrated in things like making sure that no one drinks a 32oz Coke. And we consider ourselves wise?
The America loving immigrant seeking only freedom and liberty, who has blessed our nation since its founding and continues to bless it, is being replaced with many America hating illegal immigrants and yet we fight to give them the right to take what they want....regardless of who has to pay for it... and we actually proclaim that this is compassion?
Violence is now our calling card in America with 'active shooter' a common term. The words of Jesus describes just such a time as this in the days of Noah as being what the world will be like upon His return, yet we adamantly refuse to even consider that we are under God's judgment?
The earth is increasingly quaking and the heavens becoming more decipherable in their penetrations of our atmosphere yet we will not put two and two together and consider that God directs the movements of His creation....and that these developments provide clarity on the some of the passages in Revelation.
Our politicians....with only a few exceptions....dubiously referred to as leaders....have not an ounce of the wisdom that our Founding Fathers had whom we now accuse of being racists. Many of these people, you know who they are for their names are in what is called the 'news' every day, are judgments on us from God, aberrations of what was once called the liberal mind.
Our financial industrial complex, as I heard one commentator describe it, is choking on greed from its commissions and thus risks everyone's retirement but their own as it refuses to amend its many unethical practices.
Our shepherds.....aka pastors....most of even the better ones....are soundly asleep as to the nearness of Christ....while the rest haven't a clue of the gospel let alone the return of Jesus Christ in power and glory and judgment....yet we think that our churches are doing quite well thank you.
Technology has stepped over the line of common sense, propriety and decency. The future of mankind is in jeopardy of being overrun by the most hideous creations of robotic and artificial intelligence, yet we actually consider this to be some sort of progress?
In essence, things that are good are now called bad....and things that are bad are now called good. Those who proudly sign on to this rebellion against God are quite satisfied while even those of us who know that this is not right refuse to accept any culpability in what we have become and thus have placed our trust, not in God, but in a man....Donald Trump....who constantly prophesies prosperity in direct opposition to men who God has sent us such as Billy Graham.
Quite Frankly...God has not sanctioned this 'Make America Great Again.' We did not even consult God beforehand on this. He has not commissioned this president....we alone have done this. We will fail just as the Israelites failed when they entered into battle without God's approbation. This is not to say that we should not have voted as we did or attempt the changes that we do. It is rather a clarion call to this man and those around him, to others in America, to us, and to me, to proclaim with every fiber of our being that we have erred, that we have not sought God's direction, that we have not admitted our own culpability, that we are utterly undone....and then to look to Him who holds every molecule in this universe together and implore of Him undeserved mercy....forgiveness....wisdom and strength....and this entirely for the glory of His name alone....of which we have heretofore grossly presumed upon and trampled....and resolve from this moment on to call upon Jesus Christ...our Redeemer....our King...and our Fortress....as our only refuge.
"So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he gave them over to plunderers, who plundered them. And he sold them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, so that they could no longer withstand their enemies. (Judges 2:14 ESV)
