It's probably the #1 response that I get from Christians that do not want to hear 'negative' talk about God judging America....they say that you just have to trust God. Then why do they not also trust God's warnings? The following was first posted a few years ago:
The seventh chapter of Jeremiah begins with this: The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, "Stand in the gate of the LORD's house and proclaim there this word, and say, 'Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah, who enter by these gates to worship the LORD!' " Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you dwell in this place. "Do not trust in deceptive words, saying, 'This is the temple of the LORD. the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.'
John MacArthur called it a "self-deluding slogan." R. C. Sproul made mention that the phrase, repeated three times, certainly should call our attention to its importance. God gave Jeremiah the words to warn the people of Judah, for they thought, as MacArthur put it, that "the Lord would never bring calamity on his own temple."
Thanks to Donald Trump and our own lack of vigilance to say the very least....we have constructed our very own....'the temple of the LORD....the temple of the LORD....the temple of the LORD'....for it is....'God Bless America.....God Bless America....God Bless America'.....or worse yet.....'USA....USA....USA!'
