Saints I am having a hard time with the posts that I read with the judgment of the Lord being on the USA. In the old testament God's judgment fell when Israel partook of the sin of the land forsaking God's laws and commandments.with Sodom and Gomorrah it was not destroyed untill lot and family were taken out, a type of the rapture pictured there. So I don't see the church embracing this decision at least the real church so are we talking about the rapture to happen very soon? As I posted earlier we are a nation founded on Christian principles but we are not Christian exclusive. My thoughts are we are headed for the great apostasy to take place and we are to be about our father's business un till he comes. I never said that I was the brightest bulb in the pack Lord knows I am not so what are your thoughts on this?
I've seen the post of how bad the USA is and agree with a lot of what's been said. We can do better, far better than what we've done, but remember we live in a nation that has freedom of religion,which is upheld and protected by law. This very post I am doing in other countries would be a death sentence or at least a jail sentence. We are number 1 as far as humanitarian efforts which I am grateful for , regardless of motives we help and support a great deal of charitable works. We support Israel maybe not in every decision but if worse comes to worst we have his back.we care for our homeless in this nation as well as abroad. We have defended the weak...etc we have many issues here that need improving we all agree on that but unlike other nations the freedoms we do have are pro god if you compare it to nations. We have a right in this country to speak out against this latest decision not only in our law but also in gods , now compare that to some countries, there is a lot of good we do and a lot of freedoms we take for granted but one would have to admit it could be far worse........just saying.
OH MY, are you ever using a human YARD STICK to measure the good we have done.
WE HAVE MURDERED MORE BABIES IN THE NAME OF THE GREAT GODDESS PRO-CHOICE than the Hittites ever dreamed of sacrificing to Baal.
We have fallen away from being One Nation Under GOD, into a NATION that turns her BACK on GOD.
GREED in this Country is OUT OF CONTROL, and GREED is IDOLATRY (Col. 3:5).
The majority of Christians have become the most LUKEWARM CHRISTIANS THAT HAVE EVER LIVED.
We have set up the LARGEST STATUE of the Babylonian Goddess Ishtar that has ever been built, and planted it in the HARBOR of the wealthiest Sea Port in the WORLD.
BABYLONIAN GODDESS ISHTAR
Revelation 18:8-23 (NASB)
[SUP]
8 [/SUP] "For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and
she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.
[SUP]
9 [/SUP] "And the kings of the earth, who committed
acts of immorality and lived sensuously with her, will weep and lament over her when they see the smoke of her burning,
[SUP]
10 [/SUP] standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe,
the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'
[SUP]
11 [/SUP] "And
the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more—
[SUP]
12 [/SUP] cargoes of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and every
kind of citron wood and every article of ivory and every article
made from very costly wood and bronze and iron and marble,
[SUP]
13 [/SUP] and cinnamon and spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and
cargoes of horses and chariots and slaves and human lives.
[SUP]
14 [/SUP] "The fruit you long for has gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and
men will no longer find them.
[SUP]
15 [/SUP] "The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,
[SUP]
16 [/SUP] saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, she who was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls;
[SUP]
17 [/SUP] for
in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!' And every shipmaster and every passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, stood at a distance,
[SUP]
18 [/SUP] and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What
city is like the great city?'
[SUP]
19 [/SUP] "And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste!'
[SUP]
20 [/SUP] "Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her."
[SUP]
21 [/SUP] Then a strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, "
So will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down with violence, and will not be found any longer.
[SUP]
22 [/SUP] "And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters will not be heard in you any longer; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any longer; and the sound of a mill will not be heard in you any longer;
[SUP]
23 [/SUP] and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.
Colossians 3:4-7 (NASB)
[SUP]
4 [/SUP] When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.
[SUP]
5 [/SUP] Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and
greed, which amounts to idolatry.
[SUP]
6 [/SUP] For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience,
[SUP]
7 [/SUP] and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them.
What is the FIRE that will destroy the GREAT International Seaport City of COMMERCE, that John would recognize the STATUE in the Harbor as BEING the symbol of BABYLON? Most likely Nuclear ICBMs.
