Why America Will Fall!

May 21, 2010 in Judgment of the Nation, The Voice of Jeremiah | No comments

The Voice of Jeremiah’s rebuke and prophecy: Disaster is coming upon you, America, and you will fall because you have sinned against the LORD your God!

It is God who once rescued and freed you from the power of religious oppression and brought you safely to a land of freedom. But rather than follow Him, you have chosen to follow the evil practices introduced by deceitful leaders and false prophets.

America, you have also secretly done many things that are not pleasing to the LORD your God!

You have built pagan shrines for yourselves in all your towns, from the smallest outpost to the largest walled city. You have set up sacred pillars and shrines at the top of every hill and under every green tree. You have offered sacrifices on all the hilltops, just like the nations the LORD had driven from the land ahead of you.

People of America, you have done many evil things, arousing the LORD’s anger.

Yes, you worship idols and do evil, despite the LORD’s specific and repeated warnings. Again and again the LORD had sent His prophets to warn you: Thus says the LORD, “Turn from all your evil ways. Obey My commands and decrees—the entire law that I commanded your ancestors to obey, and that I gave you through My servants the prophets.”

But, America, you will not listen! You are as stubborn as your ancestors who also refused to believe in the LORD their God. Like them, you have rejected God’s decrees and the covenant He has made with you long ago, and like your ancestors, you have despised all God’s warnings.

America, you have worshiped worthless idols and done evil, so you have become worthless yourselves.

You follow the example of the nations around you, disobeying the LORD’s command not to imitate them. You reject all the commands of the LORD your God and make idols from wood, metal, and gold. You set up shrines and worship Satan and all the evil forces of heaven. In so doing, you have sacrificed the souls of your own sons and daughters.

America, you consult fortune-tellers and practice sorcery and sell yourselves to evil! You have aroused the LORD’s anger!

Therefore, because the LORD is very angry with you, America, He will sweep you away from His presence. As the result of your rebellion and disobedience, the LORD will reject you and your descendents! He will punish you by handing you over to your attackers until He has banished you from His presence.

America, you have allowed evil, wicked, and foolish leaders to lead you to commit a great sin. And you have persisted in all their evil ways. You have not turned from these sins. Therefore, the LORD finally, will sweep you away from His presence, just as all his prophets have warned you!

America, because you have not repented and turned from your evil ways and turned back to Him, the LORD is about to cause you to fall to your own destruction![1]

Thus says the LORD: America “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.”[2]

[1] 2 Kings 17:7-23; [2] Jer. 2:19

America – Once Great Among the Nations – Now You Stumble, but Soon You Will Fall!

February 10, 2010 in Judgment of the Nation, The Voice of Jeremiah | No comments

The Voice of Jeremiah’s rebuke and prophecy: America, you are doomed! Now you stumble, but soon you will fall, because you are a rebellious, unrepentant, and evil generation! The LORD of Heaven’s Armies, will take away from you everything and everyone that your people depend on. He is going to take away every bit of bread and every drop of water. He is going to take away all your heroes and soldiers, judges and prophets, fortune-tellers and statesmen,  army officers and civilian leaders, politicians, skilled craftsmen, and astrologers. 

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. Your people oppress and take advantage of each other—man against man, neighbor against neighbor. Your young people insult their elders, and your vulgar worthless people sneer at the honorable. Your men say to their brothers, “You at least have something to wear, you be our leader in this time of trouble! Take charge of this heap of ruins!” But they reply, “No! Not me! I can’t help you! I don’t have any extra food or clothes. Don’t put me in charge!” 

America, you are doomed! Now you stumble, but soon you will fall, because you are a wicked and rebellious nation of people who speak out against the LORD and refuse to obey Him. You openly insult and provoke the LORD to His face. America, the very look on your faces gives you away. You display your sin like the people of Sodom, you don’t even try to hide it. 

America, you are doomed! You have brought this judgment and destruction upon yourselves! However, in the midst of all your wicked and rebellious people dwell a remnant of the godly—those saved by their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Tell the godly that all will be well with them. They will enjoy the rich eternal reward bestowed upon them by the amazing grace of God! But tell the wicked they are headed to destruction! For they will get exactly what they deserve! What they have done to others will now be done to them![1] 

This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with them, for what their hands have done shall be done to them.[2] But how blessed is the man, how happy, how fortunate, how prosperous, and enviable is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly following their advice, their plans and purposes, nor stands submissive and inactive in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down to relax and rest where the scornful and the mockers gather. But rather, his delight and desire are in the law of the LORD. On His law—the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God—he habitually meditates, ponders and studies by day and by night.

That man shall be like a tree firmly planted and tended by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper and come to maturity. But not so the wicked, those disobedient and living without God. They are like the chaff—worthless, dead, without substance—which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked shall not stand justified in the judgment, nor sinners assemble in the congregation of the righteous—those who are upright and in right standing with God because of their faith in Jesus Christ. For the Lord knows and is fully acquainted with the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly—those living outside God’s will—shall perish and their end will be in ruin and come to nothing.[3] 

The Voice of Jeremiah’s plea: O America, overwhelming chaos is coming to your nation! [4] 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! [5] 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. [6] Repent, mourn your sin, turn back to God, and be saved before it is too late!
