Judgment Has Befallen Us!
John Calvin made an interesting observation that contains a great deal of validity as history has revealed. He said: “When GOD wants to judge a nation He gives them wicked rulers.” Take a look at 2 Kings 21 for a moment: “Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. His mother’s name was Hephzibah. He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites” (vv.1-2).
Note Manasseh served 55 years as King over Judah; the longest serving king in their history. Note also that he did evil and followed after the detestable practices of the pagan people the LORD had driven out of the land. It is also important to note that he was the son to King Hezekiah and even served alongside him for a time. Hezekiah had been a strong religious reformer for the nation bringing them closer to GOD and His worship than any for a long time.
The Israelites had drifted far from GOD and even through Hezekiah’s reforms, many continued their idol worship, making it easy to drift back under Manassah. Their hearts remained distant from GOD and He sent His judgment upon them through the wickedness of Manassah.
The wickedness in America has resulted in GOD’s judgment falling upon us. The murder of 65 million unborn babies is wicked to the core. The great falling away from godly truths and principles has left our nation open to the judgment of GOD and I believe we are seeing that played out before our eyes as our government sells us out to pagan nations around the world. We are been invaded by ungodly, pagans who have transform our understanding of the true GOD.
We are also under an internal invasion by supposed preachers of the Word living fairytale lives, teaching ungodly truths, pacifying and comforting the people in the pews. The pied-piper reigns supreme in many of the mega-churches here in America and rather than speak up and out against them, we continue to allow them to spout their lies and deception drawing the masses into their clutches.
Church, judgment is here! GOD is looking for an unspotted church, sold-out to Him. If we do not rise-up against lies and ingodliness, America has no hope!
