That is profound, troubling, and true, my brother. We have dithered on this and have sown the wind. We will surely reap the whirlwind.
I've been going through a bit of a painful transformation lately: My natural patriotism is dying a slow death here. You've probably noticed my fervent hopes and prayers that God's retribution against this country would be laser-guided instead of daisy-cutting. But the fact is that we've deserved judgment for a long time for a great variety of sins--not primarily the sins of the openly pagan and atheistic, but for the sins of those who call themselves Jews and Christians.
Anyone who knows me knows how profound a respect I have for Dr. Chuck Missler. While I have sometimes come to different conclusions than him, it was through his teaching that I discovered the incredible integrety of design of the Scriptures (aka 66/40), and without that I would not have discovered the very strange calling the Holy One has for me. When I first started listening to him over a decade ago, Chuck was calling for repentence and saying, "If you're not on your knees for this country, you're going to deserve what you're going to get." A few years ago, he started confessing that in his heart he wondered if it was too late for this country to avoid God's wrath. But it startled me when in the last year, he confessed that he now regarded his former patriotism as a form of idol worship. That's really shocking coming from a guy like Chuck Missler.
As I get more opportunities to speak with a broader cross-section of Christendom, I've been finding a lot of people who are likewise going through a Jeremian transformation.
I don't have an answer for what we disciples of Yeshua should do. But I think I'm finally starting to ask the right questions.
Shalom.
