If you turn your back on My precepts and commandments
If you thrive on perjury and taking of bribes
If you do not protect your own men, women and children and cause them to become widows, widowers and orphans
If you murder children in their mother's womb
If you steal wages and pensions and stocks from your workers
If you murder the reputations of My righteous men
If you extol unnatural affection between men and between women
If you divide Jerusalem and My Holy places for a price of betrayal among those who worship the God of Forces
If you do not honor Me in your public places and with your children
I will cause your leaders to become fools having knowledge but no wisdom
I will cause you to dwell carelessly without defense
I will cause your weakest enemies to prevail against you
I will raise up a base leader who will take away your freedoms
I will raise up an even more evil nation to conquer you
Your nation will be no more...
The Founding Fathers of America believed that God would judge a wayward nation on earth even though its inhabitants would be judged in the after life. For this reason, the Founding Fathers were inspired and led to write the Constitution in a way designed to make it more difficult for America to become wayward and be removed from earth by God.
Unfortunately, the Constitution in itself has not yet protected America from a decline in morality among its leaders and from its judges who do not uphold but undermine the Constitution.
The themes in this editorial are taken from my reading of verses in the Bible about what God will do about a nation that dies Spiritually and turns away from God.
America is at risk. We should all pray for America and our leaders and work hard to keep America as a Godly nation so that the fate of America will not become that of a nation described in my editorial.
"Those who labor to build our nation America (this house) without God, labor in vain." Our Founding Fathers knew these words well. We should take these words as seriously now as the Founding Fathers took them at the Constitutional convention to preserve our nation.
