The State Of The Union

Last night the President of the, so called, United States of America

Spoke about the state of this nation.

Today, it might well be called the disunited States of America,

As can easily be seen in its political and social discourse.

He painted a picture of hope for a nation that has rejected God

When there is no future for such a nation.

He did not address the crucial issue of this nation; its godlessness.

He did not address the fact

That the judgment of God is heavy upon this nation

To bring it to destruction unless it changes it ways.

He did not address the bulging debt

That will suddenly collapse and bring this nation to its knees.

He is a deceiver who is himself deceived;

Representing apolitical party that is like himself.

There is no hope for this nation unless it repents and turns to God.

God is speaking to America just as He spoke to Israel in the day of Isaiah,

When he said:

'Because you have rejected this message,

(The message of the Word of God and His Christ, Jesus)

Relied on oppression and depended on deceit,

This sin will become for you like a high wall,

Cracked and bulging, that collapses suddenly, in an instant.

It will break in pieces like pottery, shattered so mercilessly

That among its pieces not a fragment will be found

For taking coals from the hearth or scooping water out of a cistern.'

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says;

'In repentance and rest is your salvation,

In quietness and trust is your strength,

But you would have none of it.' (Isaiah 30:12-15)

Those who belong to the Living God have spoken often to this nation.

But the nation has refused to listened.

They refuse to acknowledge that the blessing and prosperity

That this nation has enjoyed has come from God;

And God's honoring those in this nation who honored Him.

Many deceived people in this nation believe

That they can dishonor God and prosper,

When, throughout all human history, this has never been the case.

It has always meant the destruction of that godless nation.

And it will be the destruction of America unless it turns to God

In repentance and humility.

The God of Creation will determine the future of this nation.

He esteems those who are of a humble and contrite spirit

And tremble at His Word. (Isaiah 66:2)

The only nation that will survive will be one God esteems.
