If you give the OT a glance, I think you will find our foreign policies, as well as our tolerance or foreign philosophies and religions, more in tune with the Babylonian King Cyrus and the apostate leaders of Israel than they are in tune with David, Solomon, or Zekeriah.

Does this sound like America?

2Ki 18:1 Now it came about in the third year of Hoshea, the son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah became king. 2Ki 18:2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
2Ki 18:3 He did right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father David had done.
2Ki 18:4 He removed the high places and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan.
2Ki 18:5 He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel; so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who were before him.
2Ki 18:6 For he clung to the LORD; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the LORD had commanded Moses.

Those of us who espouse keeping the Commandments, especially the 4th, are an incredible minority in this country.

No, it doesn't sound like America, especially in today's age. But remember, our country, that is full of idolatry, is also full of wonderful people that truly love God.

Many of us are misled by false teachers, etc, just as they were in the time of the prophets. Our lesson, from the scripture you quoted, would be to follow the LORD, God of Israel, only and His Word. One of those ways would be to "keep the commandments, especially the 4th". I agree with you in that Saturday is the Sabbath.

For all our idolatry I still believe that America is the "wilderness" God sent the woman (Israel) to.

Rev.12:6. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

I believe that place, prepared of God, is America. As well as children of God living here we also have children of Satan and they are busy doing their jobs (and doing it very, very well). America isn't heaven so it isn't perfect but it is where the tribes of Israel are being gathered and are "being called out of Babylon". Babylon is confusion and many of us are waking up from the confusion. Our eyes and ears are being opened. Get ready for the battle.
