Well hmmmm... My thinking is this..
Is not Israel suppose to be a Christian Nation.?? Of course it is.. That being the case then why wouldn't God expect the US to live under the same requirements God expects from Israel.?
We, like Israel of old, have turned from God and the Christ.. I don't mean just the individual, but the nation as a whole.. Our leaders.! They flout their decadence in God's face everyday. Obama even had the gall to fly the rainbow flag over our nations capital in direct defiance to God.!
My point being, If we, as a nation, don't turn to God, get back in our Churches and make the government behave in a manor reflective of a Christian nation then God will, beyond any shadow of a doubt, take a heavy hand to the good old USA...
Need some proof.? Just look who was just elected for President of the United States by hook or crook.. In what scenario could you possible imagine likes of kamala Harris being made President of our country.. She will be, Biden is running on empty.. God is VERY mad at the USA and our future does NOT look good at all.
But, his hand is still out.. Look to Isaiah 9:12
OK, thanks, just wanted to hear your argument, which boils down to--if I may:
If God judged Israel's infidelity, why should the US expect different treatment?
In several days we'll cover Elijah's Amazing Adventures, during which he felt like The Last of the Mohicans. But God assured him he was actually one of 7,000 still serving God in Israel. In a real sense true Christians in America today are feeling what that remnant must have felt.
Solomon, a tragic story. Going from great wisdom to great foolishness in just 40 years of rule.
As your wonderful poem points out, 700 wives and 300 concubines were no picnic. If he saw two per day, it’d be almost two years before he saw them again.
It was a near certainty they’d fool around behind his back. Perhaps Solomon was the biggest cuckold of all time.
But forsaking God when he was so close to Him at one time was the greatest foolishness of all.
I can only hope Ecclesiastes was his work of repentance before his early death at 60.
On the art side, I like Tissot’s work the best. He really showed the multiple races that were likely in his harem.
Puckerosis drove the wedge between him and God. As I do for every human being, I wish for him eternal bliss serving God in heaven.
