A Mocking Nation

 



This is the first in a series of posts that deal with America in the end times. There are a great many misconceptions about America in the last days and I will touch on these in later posts as I attempt to help people prepare for the hell that will come upon this nation and the whole world in these last days. 

“America is dying! The country’s wound is incurable. It is now in the final throes of a terminal disease. The great empire is crumbling!” David Wilkerson 

 

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken anymore? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. Isaiah 1:4-8


So, How is America like ancient Israel?


America is a Mocking Nation


It is an ominous message of truth that Americans, even Christians, will rebel against. The Christian community will reject it because it has compromised its values with the world, it has wrapped itself in the flag of patriotism, and tolerance, and it has deceived itself with its pollyanna gospel of health, wealth and prosperity.

When God sent prophets to Israel and Judah, calling them to repentance, the people mocked the prophets. “We are God’s Chosen People,” they reminded the prophets. “God will never allow our nation to be destroyed.”

In its 3000 + years of history, Israel has been attacked 52 times, captured and recaptured 44 times, besieged 23 times and completely destroyed twice.

For the past 50 years God has been raising up prophetic voices in America voices like Dave Wilkerson, among others, calling this country to repentance. We have reacted in the same manner as the ancient Israelites. We have mocked the prophets by arrogantly reminding them that we are a “Christian nation.”

But the truth is that we are anything but a Christian nation. Our behavior as a nation makes a mockery of Christianity. We lead the world in every abomination known to man… abortion, alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling, divorce, child abuse, violent crime, pornography, and yes, even child pornography. Worse yet, we export our violence and immorality to other countries through our sleazy movies and television programs. We have become the moral polluter of planet earth. And we are reaping what we have sown. The judgment of God is most certainly upon this nation.

As born again believers we need to be aware of and prepared for the wide reaching persecution that will come upon us in the weeks and months ahead.  Unless, by the mercy of God, He raptures us out of here sooner than later, this persecution will eventually land on most of our front porches.  It will touch many of our lives, our families, we will need to be prepared to lose everything, up to and including our very lives.

I’m not trying to scare anyone, well, actually I kind of am, but the fact is government sponsored persecution is already occurring in our nation in tiny varied pockets.  It’s not being covered by national news outlets, but it is occurring and it will get much worse.  It will.  And we should all prepare ourselves.


God bless…

Is Your Pastor a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing?

In this age of cultural Christianity, and what I mean by that is Christianity that is changed to fit the current popular ideas.  Christianity that is custom tailored to suit the community’s various wants, tastes, and needs. Did you know that when one of the trendy new “modern churches” are planning to plant a campus (that’s the new trendy name for these modern, progressive churches now, “campuses” ) they send interviewers into the community to talk with people to find out what they want in a church.  What sort of programs they like and what kind of sermons they want to hear, and then they tailor the entire worship service around what the community wants.  This is not church folks, this is a social club.   The problem with this new fangled Christianity is that people may know very well what they want, but what they need is an entirely different story.  Many people today want to be entertained in a worship service.  They want loud music, they want drama skits...

Why the Reformation Still Matters

  In an era of spiritual confusion and cultural fragmentation, the Reformation stands as a poignant reminder that truth is worth fighting for.    October isn’t just about falling leaves and pumpkin spice ;  it’s Reformation Month. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, sparking a movement that would reshape the church, challenge empires, and recover the gospel’s blazing center: salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. This month, I’m launching a series of blog posts that explore why the Reformation still matters, how its truths confront our modern confusion, comfort our weary hearts, and call us back to the beauty of biblical grace.   When most people hear the term “Reformation,” they think of dusty history books, old church controversies, or perhaps Martin Luther wielding a hammer. However, the truth is that the Reformation isn’t just a chapter in church history; it’s a living legacy. It’...

America is no Longer Good

French writer Alexis de Tocqueville, after visiting America in 1831, said “I sought for the greatness of the United States in her commodious harbors, her ample rivers, her fertile fields, and boundless forests, and it was not there. I sought for it in her rich mines, her vast world commerce, her public school system, and in her institutions of higher learning, and it was not there. I looked for it in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great!”   I read Democracy in America in college.  De Tocqueville traveled all over America searching for what made us a great nation and he found the old time church with old time preachers, preaching hellfire and brimstone sermons was what made America ...
