Why
does the Lord punish nations for their SIN
Because
unless he did they would all go the way of Noah's Day;
The
Lord saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become,
And
every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only EVIL all the
time.
(Genesis
6:5)
If
this continued there would be no hope at all.
If God
punished Israel, His chosen nation, then he will also punish America,
The
nation he made greater than all other nations of this day.
Listen
to what God spoke through the Prophet Amos concerning Israel:
Hear
the Word of the Lord has spoken against you, O people of Israel--
Against
the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:
'You
only have I chosen of all the families of the earth;
Therefore
I will punish you for ALL your SINS.'
Do
two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?
Does
a lion roar in the thicket when he has no prey?
Does
he growl in his den when he has caught nothing?
Does
a bird fall into a trap on the ground where no snare has been set?
Does
the trap spring up from the earth when there is nothing to catch?
When
the trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble?
When
disaster comes to a city had not the Lord cause it?
Surely
the Sovereign Lord does nothing
Without
revealing His plans to His servants the prophets.
The
lion has roared—who will not fear?
The
Sovereign Lord has spoken—who can but prophesy?
Proclaim
to the fortresses of Ashdod and to the fortresses of Egypt”
“Assemble
yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;
See
the great unrest within her and the oppression among her people.
They
do not know how to do right,' declares the Lord,
'Who
hoard plunder and loot in their fortresses.'
Therefore
this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
'An
enemy will overrun the land; he will pull down your strongholds
And
plunder your fortresses.'
This
is what the Lord says:
'As
a shepherd saves from the lion's mouth
Only
two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
So
will the Israelites be saved, those who sit in Samaria
On
the edge of their beds and on the corner of their couches.'
'Hear
this and testify against the House of Jacob,' declares the Lord,
The
Lord God Almighty.
'On
the day I punish Israel for her SINS,
I
will destroy the altars of Bethel;
The
horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground.
I
will tear down the winter house along with the summer house;
The
houses adorned with ivory will be destroyed
And
the mansions will be demolished,' declares the Lord. (Amos 3:1-15)
Hear
this you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria,
You
women who oppress the poor and crush the needy
And
say to your husbands . 'Bring us some drinks!'
The
Sovereign Lord has sworn by His Holiness:
'The
time will surely come when you will be taken way with hooks,
The
last of you with fishhooks.
You
will each go straight out through breaks in the wall,
And
you will be cast out toward Harmon, declares the Lord.
Go
to Bethel and SIN; go to Gilgal and SIN yet more.
Bring
your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three years.
Burn
leavened bread as a thank offering
And
brag about your freewill offerings—boast about them, you
Israelites,
For
this is what you love to do,' declares the Sovereign Lord.
I
gave you empty stomachs in every city
And
lack of bread in every town,
Yet
you have not returned to Me,' declares the Lord.
I
also withheld rain from you
When
the harvest was still three months away.
I
sent rain on one town but withheld it from another.
One
field had rain; another had none and dried up.
People
staggered from town to town for water
But
did not get enough to drink,
Yet
you have not returned to Me,' declares the Lord.
Many
times I struck your gardens and vineyards,
I
struck them with blight and mildew.
Locusts
devoured your fig and olive trees,
Yet
you have not returned to Me,' declares the Lord.
I
sent plagues among you as I did to Egypt.
I
killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured
horses.
I
filled your nostrils with the stench of your camps,
Yet
you have not returned to Me,' declares the Lord.
Therefore
this is what I will do to you, Israel,
And
because I will do this to you,
Prepare
to meet your God, O Israel.'
He
Who forms the mountains, creates the wind,
And
reveals the thoughts to man,
He
who turns dawn to darkness, and treads the high places of the earth--
The
Lord God Almighty is His Name. (Amos 4:1-13)
Today,
America is being punished for her SIN against God,
His Christ Jesus, His Word, His
Covenant and His Commandments.
Apostate Christians are ignorant of
this reality.
The dominating Religion in America
today is the Secular Humanist Religion.
“Blue America,” the America that
elected Barack Obama
Holds to that Religion.
It is anti-Christ and of the Devil.
I pray that those who read
this message understand the ways of God.
All the ways of God are REDEMPTIVE
for those who understand.
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!
