Judgment
Judgment, especially God’s Judgment can be very severe and painful. God judged Israel, His chosen and highly blessed people over and over again for their lack of faith and He is judging America’s Christians today for their failure to obey Him. Both these nations were highly blessed but then turned their backs on the God that provided the blessings.
Israel did so by continually reverting to idol worship. America did the same but her idols were ideological rather than physical. Godly worship was replaced by the worship of an easy life, one with much leisure time and fun time and as little attention to God’s work as possible. We failed to obey Christ’s command to teach the nations and permitted the godless to gain more and more power.
The aggregate of all these failures has resulted in the current socio-political situation. The, very rich and very powerful, agents of Satan have now made a bid to take control of America. They are employing their virtually total control of the media and a majority of the elected officials in both State and Federal offices in this concerted effort.
They have not yet begun to employ the control they already have of the nation’s money and monetary systems. This is an enormous force, capable of bringing the nation to its knees in short order. It has been used in the past; the Great Depression of the 1930’s was initiated by an abrupt reduction in the money supply.
All this power is now in Satan’s hands but Satan is limited, ruled and used by God for His purposes. Just what might HIs purpose be in all this chaos? It may well be. simply to teach His people that they really need to obey Him. They have been given their assignment: to work toward making this world a Christian world.
They, however, deceived by Satan’s agents, have utterly neglected it. They were very subtly led to believe that God changed His plan, an absolute impossibility! God sees the end from the beginning and never ever changes His plans.
The task before those that see this is to wake up their sleeping fellow believers, to show them what God really requires of them. As soon as this begins, God will lend His support and this whole upside-down situation would rapidly change direction. There have been decades, perhaps a century, of decay that needs cleaning up and only God’s people can do it!
Take heart, it can and will be done:
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (Rev. 11:15)
