Not One Is Upright

(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!
