Samuel warned them of the cost and they didn't care. Isaiah 3 is another place where God describes how they will be ruled by women and children as he is about to let the Assyrians conquer them because of their rejection.
It is a pattern of man because he is in sin.
People in our country are rejecting Freedom in a Constitution that implies that we all live morally under God.
People want a king, big government is that king.
Government is not our king, but it is theirs.
Whether you are Christian or a Conservative (or both) we desire the morality of God in a representative republic of Judaeo Christian values.
That takes representatives who have our values, the values of God and humility under God. They don't desire God at all, instead they're all a bunch of little gods. They're doomed.
Our country is so blessed and God is so merciful, but it can't go on like this when you see what is happening.
I think we can fall into anarchy if we allow ourselves to be conquered with no borders.
I wouldn't mind sending some on to their doom before I go.
Just venting.
Nice thoughtful post. Thanks.
