Oh-ho-ho America, you are just BEGGING for the wrath of the Holy God to fall on you! Could this country BE more pagan? Could we possibly tempt the Lord God Almighty in more ways?! Last week, the heathen goddess Kali was projected onto the side of the Empire State Building in New York City. Gee. Great idea.
The Times of India online reported “Artist Android Jones designed the portraits of the goddess to make the point that Mother Nature, now more than ever, needs a fierce avatar to fight the dangers of pollution and extinction.” I hate to tell you people in New York City, but pollution is going to be the least of your worries! I’d seriously consider getting the heck out of there as soon as possible to avoid the coming judgment.
This filthy entity is the Hindu goddess of time, change, power, destruction and death. She is also known as the Dark Mother, and her colorful display was considered around the world to be a “breathtaking spectacle” and was promoted in the name of art. Millions of people in India and other countries worship this demonic goddess and take her powers very seriously.
Anytime a country lifts up idols, they bring disease, poverty and death. Perhaps this is why 21st century India still struggles with the concept of indoor plumbing. Just sayin’…
Since the beginning of time, mankind has perverted and misdirected our God designed instinct to worship a transcendent being. We were made in God’s image for the purpose of enjoying a give-and-take love relationship with our Creator, but the enemy slithered in and introduced the idea that we can chose to worship other things besides God.
Can you even begin to fathom how offensive and hurtful this is to our Heavenly Father?! What if your beloved, cherished toddler decided to run up to some unknown adult and hold their chubby little arms up to cuddle with them instead of you? What if that baby looked at you with derision and said “I hate you! I want THIS lady to be my Mommy—NOT you!”
You’d be crushed! You’d be horrified and enraged and panicked all at the same time, especially if that other man or woman was willing to walk away with your precious little one, and you knew they had every intention of hurting or even killing your child!
This is what we do to our Father when we put anything or anyone on the pedestal of our heart before Him. We crush Him and as He cries, we flagrantly dance around our new idol, singing its praises and showing it off to our friends. “Look at my new car!” “Check out the house we’re getting!” “I’d like you to meet my new boyfriend.” “I’m going to do everything in my power to get that job I want!” And so on.
After a while, any parent would get weary of being abused and taken for granted. God is no different. Not only does He give individuals the freedom to choose who they will worship, He does the same for nations. However, there are consequences to those decisions and they’re spelled out clearly in the Bible.
“Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 26:1 (KJV) This verse and many others pertaining to idols are usually filled with “If/Then” statements from God. IF you do this, THEN I’ll do this. But IF you do this other, THEN I’ll do that.
For instance, the Lord tells Israel that IF they walk in His statues and keep His commandments, THEN He will give them rain, bless their crops and vineyards, ensure peace in their land, get rid of dangerous beasts, and give them great victory over any enemies that come against them and make sure they have lots of healthy babies. Leviticus 26:12 “And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.”(KJV)
However, the flip side ain’t so pretty. God goes on to warn them in verses 14-16 “But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; and if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: I will do this unto you…” (KJV)
Ho-boy, check it out. When nations refuse to obey God, He says He’ll bring to the land sudden terror, killer diseases, invasion from foreign enemies who will plunder and eat their food, instill paranoia in the hearts of the people, crops will fail, wild beasts will kill the children and cattle, war and slaughter will come, and God will not hear their prayers for relief.
It gets worse! If these calamities sent by God to chastise the nation don’t cause them to repent and turn back to Him, He will cause such famine in the land that the people will cannibalize their own children, and cause such destruction to the cities and land, that even their enemies will be astonished and appalled. Then, He will finally scatter the few survivors among the nations.
“And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands…” Leviticus 26:39 (KJV) Yeah, I know these things were spoken to ancient Israel, but God deals the same way with all nations. He’s extremely longsuffering and patient but that patience does run out—then BAM! Watch out!
That is where America is today. We’re just about to experience what we’ve never known before: great natural destruction, devastation, famine, diseases, war, economic collapse, massive, widespread civil violence and crime, and invasion by our enemies. These things ARE coming and very soon. You can laugh and scoff all you want, but it won’t change things.
In the book of Jonah, God was planning on wiping Nineveh off the map because of their gross sins against Him. After the Lord yanked a knot in Jonah’s tail and he went to the town to warn them like he had been instructed to do, the ENTIRE city did something I’ve never heard of happening since.
“For word came unto the king of Nineveh and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, ‘Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed nor drink water: but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from His fierce anger that we perish not?’” Jonah 3:6-9 (KJV)
The Bible tells us that God saw what they did and how they were repentant in their hearts, and He didn’t destroy them. That’s what it took for God’s anger to cool enough to pull back from His plan to utterly annihilate them.
Now. Can you honestly see Obamadinajad putting on sackcloth, sitting in ashes and proclaiming a fast for every person and animal in the nation, in repentance for our sins against a Holy God, in the hopes He doesn’t destroy America? Uh, no. Of course not! The thought of that is sadly laughable.
This country is insane with violence, blood, cruelty, corruption, satan worship, idolatry, greed, perversion of every kind, and ding-dang proud of it to boot! We’re even audacious enough to attempt to export our filth to other nations. There is no way America is going to repent, even after the first disaster touches us. God has been gently ramping up the pressure since 9/11. You’d think we’d be smart enough to pay attention, but we’re not.
Nope, tragically it’s going to take a severe shaking to wake the sheeple up enough to realize that there indeed IS a God, He means business, and has had it up to HERE with our national sins. And when disaster strikes, don’t think the world will come running to give us aid or relief either. We’ve pretty much alienated every country on the earth—we are hated, and with good reason.
I love the America that is supposed to be; that existed when I was a very little girl. I don’t love what we are now, and I don’t blame God one bit for what He’s about to unleash on this land. The shameful spectacle of a heathen goddess displayed on the Empire State Building was just another example of the reprobate mind of this nation. Apparently, New York City is a special breed of stupid!
It’s only by God’s mercy that we’ve not been destroyed yet, and it’ll be due to that same great mercy that He will send judgment down to give the lost and worthless Laodicean church a chance to repent and come back to Him, before the rapture takes us home.
If you’re caught up in and enamored with time-sucking, political debates, I urge you to extricate your head from your back passage ASAP and wake up! I highly doubt there will be another presidential election. I’m not even sure there will be enough left of this country to bother with one. By that time, I have every idea there will be bigger things on people’s mind, like how they’ll feed their kids that day.
America is finished. I’ve been singing this sad song for a couple of years now. Again, consult the Word about the way God deals with wayward, wicked nations. He destroys them. He doesn’t owe America anything! WE owe HIM everything we have and everything we are. Unless we pull a Nineveh-style repentance fest, we’re doomed.
I BEG you to get your heart right with God and allow Him to prepare you for the things to come! He is our rock and our fortress from the storm, and He’ll protect and provide for those who belong to Him. He is a good, loving Father who doesn’t punish the righteous with the wicked. That doesn’t mean He won’t take some of us home to be with Him—but He’s fully capable and willing to shelter His children from His judgment.
It’s coming, and soon. Get ready. Repent. Accept the pardon for sin Jesus died to provide to you! You’re running out of time, and tomorrow is not promised to any of us. Sudden death and destruction will fall and you might not have time to call on His name. Don’t be stupid. Today is the day of salvation. Get to it!

I absolutely agree with this author. FOX News seems to have 90% of its coverage talking about which GOP "savior" is on the way.
Most Americans are dead spiritually and have no relationship with the true Savior.
God's wrath is coming - I can feel it in my spirit.
Ping to you guys.
These are teeny tiny schoolyard taunts to the Lord.
The plan, as always, is targeted to the salvation of souls, and these taunts will not cut it short.
I feel it too.
This is a good article and I thank you for posting it.
“B-b-but I voted AGAINST the Debauchery party!”
(Famous last words overheard during the destruction of gomorrah)
But they've got lots of stuff, and plenty of entertainment.
No. There was no one left in Gomorrah to say any words when judgment fell on her. Lot was the only man who escaped with his life. His wife looked back on the sinful city winsomely & was turned into a pillar of salt.
Of course. It was satire.
Lot.... and his daughters.... remember the daughters he offered up in place of the angels?
“The plan, as always, is targeted to the salvation of souls, and these taunts will not cut it short.”
Hallelujah! To our merciful God who has chosen His way!
But, we do know for fact that this merciful time of His choosing and our time of making choices, gets shorter every day.
This, is a safe thing to say.
Satire tends to glorify self. Be careful.
This wasn’t even India’s idea... they are hardly in a position to challenge America on pollution issues.
So whose permission did this require, anyhow. I don’t remember anyone coming to my door and asking me whether I wanted Kali on a skyscraper. Sounds kind of ridiculous to do in the city of 9/11, regardless of its ostensible meaning.
Of course those gnatty little details pale next to gloating in how right we are... but it’s not us who deserve that glory.
This part of the piece was also spot on:
He’s extremely longsuffering and patient but that patience does run out—then BAM! Watch out! That is where America is today. We’re just about to experience what we’ve never known before: great natural destruction, devastation, famine, diseases, war, economic collapse, massive, widespread civil violence and crime, and invasion by our enemies. These things ARE coming and very soon. You can laugh and scoff all you want, but it won’t change things.
People who don't want God in their lives want to hang onto something else (take your pick): money, stocks, homes, vacations, sex, food, cars.....anything but God.
Those things can all be blessings, but they put them first, instead of God. Therefore, they don't want to see His coming, and that we are very close to judgment.
Let us that can sense the coming blows pray that God shelters us and those we love, and that He uses us for His purpose.
I agree. I am guilty of it also, but I am finding that all mocking really comes from the Evil One. When I have tried to use mocking as well, it just becomes a self-perpetuating conflict with no peace found inside me.
Even the archangel who fought Satan for the body of Moses would not stoop to the level of Evil. The angel said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
"But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
Jude 1:9
9-11 *was* the first disaster. When that second plane slammed into the WTC, while others were in shock, I, for reasons unclear to me at the time said to myself "and so, it begins..."
Being human, I misinterpreted what was beginning, as humans are wont to do. At the time I thought it was the beginning of the existential war between Islam and the West, and while that was true, it only became clearer, much clearer, to me that was *NOT* the whole picture. That took Rabbi Jonathan Kahn, and "The Harbinger", to sharpen my focus on what was actually occurring.
Like ancient Israel before us, we strayed from what was acceptable to G-d, and He sent a warning shot across our bows, to get our attention. We not only reacted similarly to ancient Israel, we brazenly used the very words of defiance they themselves uttered. The price to be paid for this alone could be quite heavy indeed, and would be separate from the actual iniquities that merited the warning shot in the first place...

You’d think if anything deserved to be called a blankety blank it would be the devil. But it’s pointless because he can always outgame anyone in damnation. The way to win that game is don’t play it.
There may be a catharsis coming, crude and messy as it may be, with the rise of Donald Trump, which has got most other politicians suddenly discovering populism as well.
The people of the land are more frequently and intensely devout than its government. They have, however, lacked an avenue to be heard in any meaningful way. The government was an elite on the top of Mt. Olympus while they were all at the foot of the hills. But now someone has dared smash the stratosphere and is getting cheered for it. The “gods” are running around scared.
There are myriad things that could go wrong yet with this, but the thing to keep in mind, I believe, is how God can make many things go right, and may do so because His people prayed for that. So when I see things that have the potential to be open doors for renewal of faith I praise the Lord for them and pray that they will be. As the good book says, love hopes all things.
The important thing as I see it, is that it doesn’t even need Trump to be a believer in order to happen. The Pharoahs who put their confidence in Joseph probably weren’t believers — they kept up worshiping their little gods. But God steered them with a mighty hand.
The thing to remember, though, is that we can’t coast. Even the Pharoah arrangement eventually turned sour.
Good advice and I thank you.
I still have hope. It used to be that things would "turn around" and politics and culture would see the truth. As the accelerator towards the brick wall is now depressed to the floor (homosexuality, racial hatred, debt, corruption, paganism, violence, greed, etc), I can no longer ignore the fact that I believe we have crossed the Rubicon as a nation. As the author stated, Nineveh was sparred when the King and the entire nation repented in sack cloth and ashes. Would that happen in our nation today? I highly doubt it, and see zero evidence of us turning back towards repentance and God anytime soon.
I felt the same way you did about 911. I thought if we as a nation finally came to grips of the evil that is Islam, we could defeat it. Little could I foresee that 7 years after 911, Barack Hussein Obama would win our Presidency.
Evil is going to run its course. Israel will be attacked, Christians will continue to be martyred, and the Antichrist will rise. When Christ told us to watch, to be prepared, and to regard the signs of the times, I never really believed before that what He forecast would happen in my own lifetime. Until now.
Ezekiel Ch 8 (NIV):
8 In the sixth year, in the sixth month on the fifth day, while I was sitting in my house and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, the hand of the Sovereign Lord came on me there. 2 I looked, and I saw a figure like that of a man.[a] From what appeared to be his waist down he was like fire, and from there up his appearance was as bright as glowing metal. 3 He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and in visions of God he took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes to jealousy stood. 4 And there before me was the glory of the God of Israel, as in the vision I had seen in the plain.
5 Then he said to me, “Son of man, look toward the north.” So I looked, and in the entrance north of the gate of the altar I saw this idol of jealousy.
6 And he said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing—the utterly detestable things the Israelites are doing here, things that will drive me far from my sanctuary? But you will see things that are even more detestable.”
7 Then he brought me to the entrance to the court. I looked, and I saw a hole in the wall. 8 He said to me, “Son of man, now dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and saw a doorway there.
9 And he said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things they are doing here.” 10 So I went in and looked, and I saw portrayed all over the walls all kinds of crawling things and unclean animals and all the idols of Israel. 11 In front of them stood seventy elders of Israel, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising.
12 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? They say, ‘The Lord does not see us; the Lord has forsaken the land.’” 13 Again, he said, “You will see them doing things that are even more detestable.”
14 Then he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the Lord, and I saw women sitting there, mourning the god Tammuz. 15 He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this.”
16 He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east.
17 He said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the people of Judah to do the detestable things they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence and continually arouse my anger? Look at them putting the branch to their nose! 18 Therefore I will deal with them in anger; I will not look on them with pity or spare them. Although they shout in my ears, I will not listen to them.”
