Righteousness
exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
(Proverbs
14:34)
The
Lord hid His face from Jerusalem as the Babylonians lay siege to it,
Because
of their sin.
The
people provoked the Lord by all the evil they had done;
Their
kings and officials, their priests and prophets.
They
turned their backs to God and not their faces,
Though
God taught them again and again,
They would not respond to His discipline; to His Word; to His
prophets.
They
set up abominable idols throughout the land.
They
sacrificed their sons and daughters to Molech; a detestable act.
Therefore,
the Lord hid his face from Jerusalem because of all its wickedness.
He
hid His face from Jerusalem as it was being destroyed
By
a nation more wicked than itself.
America
has turned its back on God who gave her birth.
It
has pushed God and His Word out of its schools and institutions.
It
has declared itself to be a secular nation;
Secular
being synonymous to godless;
Secular
being man in the mire of his fallen state.
Secular
meaning captive to Satan and his wickedness.
America's
sin is a disgrace to her people;
America's
sin, her downfall.
The
God of Creation says to America:
Call
to Me and I will answer you
And
tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. (Jeremiah
33:3)
Is
there enough substance left in America to call?
Will
an improved economy save America?
If
there were to be an improved economy,
Would
America then, be happy in her sin?
