The Lord Brings Charges Against The Nations!


[Taken directly from Jeremiah Chapter 25; substituting America for Israel,
And making certain other adjustments to bring it into relevance for today.]

The Word came to the God appointed preachers of America
Concerning all the people of America:
Since I brought your forefathers to this land
And gave birth to this nation says the Lord,
Until this very day—the Word of the Lord has been given to His servants;
And that Word has been spoken to you again and again,
But you have not listened or paid any attention.
My appointed preachers said, 'Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways
And your evil practices, and you can stay in the land the Lord gave to you
And your fathers for ever and ever.
Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them;
Do not provoke Me to anger with what your hands have made.
Then I will not harm you.'

'But you did not listen to Me,' Declares the Lord,'
And you have provoked Me with what your hands have made,
And you have brought harm to yourselves.'

Therefore the Lord Almighty says this:
'Because you have not listened to My Words,
I will summon your enemies,' Declares the Lord.
I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants
And against all the surrounding nations.
I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror
And scorn, and an everlasting ruin.
I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness,
The voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of industry
And the light of the lamp.
This whole country will become a desolate wasteland,
And these nations who have served the Evil One will be extinguished.

The Cup Of God's Wrath
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel says to His preachers:
'Take from My hand this cup filled with the wine of My wrath
And make all the kingdoms on the face of the earth drink it.
And after that the Evil One himself will drink it.

'Let My prophets tell them,
'This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel says:
Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more
Because of the sword I will send among you,'
But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, tell them,
'This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it!
See I am beginning to bring disaster on America and all the nations.
And will you indeed go unpunished?
You will not go unpunished,
For I am calling down a sword upon all who live on the earth,
Declares the Lord Almighty.'

Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:
'The Lord will roar from on high;
He will lift His voice from His holy dwelling
And roar mightily against the earth.
He will shout like those who tread the grapes,
Shout against all who live on the earth.
The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth,
For the Lord will bring charges against the nations;
He will bring judgment on all mankind and put the wicked to the sword,'
Declares the Lord.

This is what the Lord Almighty says:
'Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation;
A mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.'

At that time those slain by the Lord will be everywhere--
From one end of the earth to the other.
They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried,
But will be like refuse lying on the ground.

Weep and wail, you shepherds;
Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered has come;
You will fall and be shattered like fine pottery.
The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
The leaders of the flock no place to escape.
Hear the cry of the shepherds,
The wailing of the leaders of the flock,
For the Lord is destroying their pasture.

The peaceful meadows will be laid waste
Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
Like a Lion He will leave His lair,
And their land will become desolate
Because of the sword of the oppressor
And because of the Lord's fierce anger.

[The nations of the earth will soon learn 
That God is Sovereign over His Creation.
The more complete story is told in The Book Of Revelation.
The shepherds and leaders of the nations failed to listen to God's servants
And to regard the Word of God as important.
So they are done away with along with the god they served, Satan,
And his son, the Antichrist, The Beast of Revelation,
Who they worship and receive his “mark.”
They reject the Christ of God and worship instead “The Beast.”
Today, we are in the prelude to this final judgment of God upon the earth;
The prelude to the reveling of the son of Satan, the Antichrist.]

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
