SODOM & AMERICA

TAKE HEED AMERICA

Isa. 1:7 Your country is desolate; your cities are burned with fire; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. Except Jehovah of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom,
That was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were laid upon her. . . .


Exek 16: 49
"Behold, this was the iniquity of . . . Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away . . . . "

Men-lying-with-men is an abomination which has caused the Lord to expel people from their land (Leviticus 18).

Mind you, Sodom never had the extreme testimony that the USA has had. Lot was only 1 righteous man living there, but the USA has the gospel broadcast to it day after day.

ISAIAH
Is. 1:10 "Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom; . . .
The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have done evil to themselves. . . . "
But they will expect the taxpayers to pay for their HIV & AIDS treatments.

They declare their sin, they come out of the closet & act proud of their sin, demanding that their unions in the posterior male orifice be equated to unions in the anterior female orifice. But to equate these 2 organs is absurd.

"For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom,
which was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were laid upon her. . . . "

The story of Sodom should make the USA fear imminent destruction. Now we have sodomy glorified with the title of marriage, and Christians under attack for not baking their cakes.

The story of Lot & Sodom is highly instructive. God would not destroy Sodom until the 1 righteous man (Lot) was removed from the city. No America deserves God's wrath for murdering millions upon millions of babies. Innocent blood, as it were, cries from the ground for God's vengeance. Now on top of that, we have men-lying-with-men decriminalized, moreover blessed & encouraged with the title of "marriage." Moreover, America's sin is in the face of abundant gospel testimony & abundant blessing. Was there ever such an ingrate nation?

But how is the LORD to destroy America, with its millions of Christians singing His praise? All you need do is peruse YouTube to find the most incredibly beautiful praise to the LORD.

My guess is that the Rapture is very near; Christians will be removed, and a thermonuclear rain of destruction will destroy America so that it plays no importance during the Tribulation, never being mentioned in prophecy. Look up, brethren; maranatha, Lord Jesus.

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar. So Lot chose him all the Plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: . . ., and Lot dwelt in . . . the Plain and moved his tent as far as Sodom. Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against Jehovah exceedingly.

. . . And there went out the king of Sodom, . . . against Chedorlaomer king of Elam . . . ; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there,. . . . And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way. And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

. . . And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, 318, and pursued as far as Dan. And he . . . smote them, . . . And he brought back all the goods and also brought back his brother Lot and his goods and the women also and the people.
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, . . . And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to yourself. And Abram said, . . .
I will not take . . . aught that is yours, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich: . . . .

Gen. 18:16 And the men . . . .looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them . . .
And Jehovah said, . . . , Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; . . . .
And Abraham . . . said, Will you consume the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there are 50 righteous within the city: will you consume and not spare the place. . . . ? . . . ;
peradventure 10 shall be found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake. . . .

Gen. 19:1 And the two angels came to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face to the earth; and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night . . .
But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; and they called unto Lot, and said to him, Where are the men that came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. . . .

Gen. 19:12 And the men said to Lot, . . . we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxed great before Jehovah; and Jehovah has sent us to destroy it. . . .
15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take you wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city. But he lingered; and the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him; and they brought him forth and set him without the city.
. . .
Make haste, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till you be come thither.
Gen. 19:23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. . . . And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Jehovah: and he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the Plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Gen. 19:29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt. . . .

I have seen several of those You Tube videos, warning Americans of imminent destruction... While I don't totally agree with them, I think there is a grain truth in it... The only thing I keep coming back to is, Romans 13:1 "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God"... If the Lord see fit to destroy this country, so be it... He did it to the Ottoman Empire, The Roman Empire, Mayan's and that list goes on... Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven".... If this is the end, I want to live my life as fully as possible and not worry if it will happen today... I believe everyone in this country and beyond, feels it, that something "big" is about to occur... but second guessing God with all the rhetoric is useless, for His will, will be done... That being said, you would have to be blind not to see that this country is imploding, we have virtually kicked God out of this country, they are pushing Christians out and trying to silence us, then there's spending, debt, our current government leadership and the list is longer than the countries God has put out of business...

No. Our destruction is not by fire and brimstone, but rather by sin and those who hate us along with our own leaders. It will be a monumental ruin.

The America that I knew as a young man is already gone. Today I feel that God has given it over to a reprobate mind.

Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Sadly I don't expect any change for the better anytime soon.

Eventually the whole world, not just America, will be destroyed in a way even worse than Sodom and Gomorrah ...

2 Peter 3:12 (KJV) Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

I fail to read anywhere that the rapture only takes place in America. However, it is a reasonable guess that the destruction of the USA will wait until the rapture comes. I don't recall reading anything about Canada in the Bible either. There are many nations in Bible prophecy, but those 2 were not included. When I think of nations that are major players during the Tribulation, I think of the 10 horn nations; I think of the revived Roman Empire & Israel, just to mention a few.

But no, there is no "mush, mush" in the Bible -- so far as I know.

Texas, another subject.

Jeremiah 50, 51 and Psalm 137, Isaiah 21:1-9 and a few more books and chapters of the bible...pay attention to the phrase...(The daughter of Babylon) and do a word study on the following words.

HINDERMOST of the nations
LADY of the Kingdoms
SHE mounts her DEFENCES to the UTMOST HEAVENS

And then pay attenetion how she is destroyed from THENCE from the NORTH and how SHE loses all of her young men of war in ONE HOUR and what the strike does to the earth and where it is heard and what it does to HER cities!
