I agree with you Jim 0216, however it may be interesting to note that when nations turn away from God, sometimes He is the one who allows His word to be taken away...

Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

Amos' prophecy pertains to Israel turning from Christ and wandering for 2000 years. That time for them is about to end. In the meantime, and since Amos and the prophets, came the cross and the New Covenant of the grace of Christ.

In these days, God is saying to us...

[A]ll things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
2 Cor 5:18-20.
