The Voice of Jeremiah’s rebuke: America, the judgment of Almighty God is already upon you! The LORD of Heaven’s Armies, has made boys your leaders, and toddlers your rulers. And their hearts are hard and calloused![1]
America, your evil and wicked “king” is a toddler who wrongly and deceitfully sits on his throne in America’s house of cedar.[2] He benefits from the covenant the LORD made with your forefathers in the days of God’s glory,[3] and yet your “king” does not worship nor serve Him as your forefathers did for his heart is hard and calloused.
America now is the time for your wicked toddler “king” and your corrupt boy leaders to repent and humble themselves before the LORD and obey God’s Law and execute true justice in the land! But they will not repent! They will refuse to turn to God for their hearts are hard and calloused![4]
America, you are warned! The LORD God will destroy your nation’s royal palace and your American dynasty because of your sins and the sins of your corrupt boy leaders and wicked and deceitful toddler “king.” America, your royal house of cedar will fall and be cut down and burned as your enemies go through the land like men chopping down a forest in Lebanon.[5]
But America, the LORD God is merciful! He offers you and your corrupt boy leaders and evil and deceitful toddler “king” a small window of opportunity: If you and your evil shepherds will repent—from your evil and deceitful “king” to least among you—and do justice, the LORD God will deliver America and reestablish His glorious and sovereign rule in the land.[6]
But woe to you America! Your hearts and those of your corrupt boy leaders and evil toddler “king” are calloused and hard, and neither you nor they will listen! Woe to you America! The ruins of your land will be a monument to your unrepentant wickedness![7]
America in your spiritual blindness you have sealed your own fate and fall to destruction by willfully placing yourselves under the rule and authority of your “king” and “savior”—the man of lawlessness! Therefore this is what the LORD God says: “Your own wickedness shall punish and correct you, and your turning from Me and desertion of faith shall condemn you; know therefore and recognize that this is an evil and bitter thing: first, you have forsaken the LORD your God; second, you are indifferent to Me and the fear of Me is not in you. You will learn how bitter and wrong it is to abandon Me, the LORD your God, and no longer to remain faithful to Me. I, the Sovereign LORD Almighty, have spoken.”[8]
The Voice of Jeremiah’s plea: O America, overwhelming chaos is coming to your nation! [9] No matter where I look, the LORD shows me ruin and devastation! Even the stable mountains will shake! Only God’s mercy can keep you from complete destruction! [10] But the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, specializes in hopeless cases. He breaks the power of sin and He sets the prisoner free from the bondage of his sin. [11] Repent, mourn your sin, turn back to God, and be saved before it is too late!
