It happens when people start believing in men rather than in God.
Then, when what the men being believed in stand for, goes south, the believers get pulled in the same direction. Nobody dares say stop the game, let me get off.
I believe God is going to seriously reach out during this season of chaos. What I have no idea about, is whether enough people are going to respond, or respond strongly enough, to make a tangible political difference in this particular land at this particular time. It’s certainly possible, but if our goal is to fix our politics, our goal is way too small for the Lord. Our goal should be to fix our eternal destinies, to change our bookings from smoking to nonsmoking as it were. Then that will begin to reflect in circumstances.
Biblical history tells us that a nation of people who call themselves of The Lord, who abandon their God, go after the false gods of men, practice sin and lawlessness, and refuse to repent when the messengers of the Almighty give them fair warning - are WITHOUT EXCEPTION - destroyed by the consequences they sown for themselves and an outside force renders the remnant of those people into captivity.
In our case, the foreign outside force that will enslave what remains of us, are being let into the country by the millions. I see where that all goes, but most of the church remains fast asleep.
As Jefferson said: “I tremble for my country when I reflect God is Just, and His Justice will not sleep forever”.
We have 60 million dead babies, and entire generation of Americans, slaughtered in the womb - and that one issue alone, I am convinced is not going to go unanswered by Our Father in Heaven.
If the Civil War was blood payment for the sin of slavery by a nation of Christians who were far more devout than we are today - we should be collectively pissing our trousers and dresses when reflecting what Our Lord is going to require of us in blood for that one institutional abomination alone.
