The lesser of two evils...

Is judgement coming upon this nation no matter what?

The lesser of two evils...Is judgement coming upon this nation no matter what?

Yes.

#1: Peter said that judgment "begins" with "the household of God."

#2: And certainly, socially, we've invited it even apart from our political choices.

As somebody once aptly said, "If God doesn't judge America, He'll have to apologize to Sodom an Gomorrah."

#3: I simply think, that with what we've done in this political season, we've "fast-forwarded" it to a point of key divine provocation.

We've placed $ -- and with it the sanctioning of a rival "god" to THE God -- over denouncing false worship centers.

If you look at Exodus, Deuteronomy, Numbers -- and then the Kings and Chronicles books -- the most common theme that provoked God to the extreme was Israel's catering to false gods, and a series of kings' failures to remove false worship centers from a "front and center" role in their culture.

Here, in this election, we have now elevated and openly endorsed somebody who says "I am indeed a 'god' - in embryo -- and I will one day compete with THE God for worship, glory, reception of prayer, role as 'creator', etc."
