(Jeremiah
5:1-14 substituting America for Jerusalem)
“Go
up and down the streets of America,
Look
around and consider, search through her squares.
If
you can find but ONE person who deals honestly and seeks the Truth
I
will forgive this nation.
Although
they say, 'As surely as the Lord lives,'
Still
they are swearing falsely.”
O
Lord, do not your eyes look for Truth?
You
struck them, but they felt no pain;
You
crushed them, but they refused correction.
They
made their faces harder than stone and refused to REPENT.
I
thought, “these are only the poor; they are foolish,
For
they do not know the Way of the Lord, the requirements of their God.
So
I will go to the LEADERS and speak to them;
Surely
they know the Way of the Lord, the requirements of their God.”
But
with one accord they too had broken off the Yoke [of God]
And
torn off the bonds.
Therefore
a lion from the forest will attack them,
A
wolf from the desert will ravage them,
A
leopard will lie in wait near their towns to tear to pieces
Any
who venture out, for their rebellion is great
And
their backslidings many.
Why
should I forgive you?
Your
children have forsaken Me and sworn by gods that are not gods.
I
supplied all their needs yet they committed adultery
And
thronged to the houses of prostitutes.
They
are well-fed, lusty stallions, each neighing for another man's wife.
Should
I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?
“Go
through her vineyards and ravage them,
But
do not destroy them completely.
Strip
off her branches, for these people do not belong to the Lord.
America
has been utterly unfaithful to Me,” declares the Lord.
They
have lied about the Lord; they said, “He will do nothing!
No
harm will come to us; we will never see sword or famine.
The
prophets are but wind and the Word [of the Lord] is not in them.”
Therefore
this is what the Lord God Almighty says:
“Because
the people [America] have spoken these words,
I
will make My Words in your [Jeremiah's] mouth like a fire
And
these people [America] the wood it consumes. (Jeremiah 5:1-14)
Is
there One upright in the eyes of the Lord in America today?
The
Word of God speaks to America today but she refuses to listen.
Many
in America claim to belong to Him but defy His Word.
Therefore,
the Word of the Lord will be a Fire
And
America the wood it consumes.
The
religious and political prophets and leaders of America lie.
They
say the Lord will do nothing!
No
harm will come to us; we will never see sword or famine.
But
their words are empty; only wind.
Therefore
because America has been unfaithful to the Lord
Her
vineyards will be ravaged, their branches will be stripped off.
Because
of America's rebellion and backslidings
There
will be those who attack her, ravage and tear her.
Is
there One in America who is upright before the Lord?
One
among the poor or among the leaders.
We
do know this: They are being crushed but still refuse correction.
They
have broken off the Yoke of God;
They
have despised Him, His Christ Jesus and His Word.
Their
faces are harder than stone; they refuse to REPENT.
Therefore,
America will go the way of ALL the godless nations
That
preceded her; into the dust bin of history
And
at the return of the Lord, never to be remembered again.
Along
with ALL the other godless nations of this day.
Surely
the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
They
are regarded [by the Lord]
as dust on the scales;
He
weighs the islands as though they were fine dust. (Isaiah 40:15)
Before
Him ALL the nations are as nothing;
They
are regarded by Him as worthless and less than nothing. (Isaiah
40:17)
The
Lord has no regard for the nations because they are godless.
America
has become a godless nation;
She
has rejected God, His Christ Jesus and His Word,
And
she is suffering and will continue to suffer the consequences.
This
is true of every nation on earth today; they are ALL godless.
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom
come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
