God’s judgment

The Voice of Jeremiah’s Rebuke:  America, God’s righteous anger and judgment is coming against you who scoff at Him! God will show His holy anger and indignation from heaven against you! America, you are sinful, wicked people, who repress and hinder the truth of God and make it inoperative by your wickedness.[1] God will rebuke you in anger! He will terrify you in His displeasure and fierce fury![2] 

America, you will wither beneath God’s righteous anger; you will be overwhelmed by His fury! For God will spread out your sins before Him—your secret sins—and God will see them all! America, you are now living your lives beneath God’s righteous anger, and soon your years will end with a groan![3] By the fury of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the land of America will be darkened and burned up, and you will be like fuel for the fire; no one will have compassion—no one will spare even his own brother. It will be each one for Himself![4] 

Hear the Word of the LORD: “Behold, I will pour out my terrible fury on this place. Its people, animals, trees, and crops will be consumed by the unquenchable fire of my anger.”[5] 

The Voice of Jeremiah’s Rebuke: America, neither will your wealth and materialism save you from God’s wrath and judgment! 

Hear the Word of the LORD: “They shall cast their silver into the streets, and their gold shall be discarded like an unclean thing or trash; their silver and gold won’t save them on that day of the Lord’s anger. They cannot use it to satisfy their desires or fill their stomachs. Their greed for gold and silver has led them into sin!”   

The Voice of Jeremiah’s Rebuke: America, if in the days of Noah, God destroyed all of mankind in the Flood for their sinful wickedness, except for eight people, then He must destroy you, America![6] If God confounded men’s language and scattered them around the earth for trying to build an idolatrous tower to heaven, then He must scatter you, America![7]  If in the days of Abraham, God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickness, depravity and homosexuality, with only Lot and his family escaping, then, He must destroy you, America![8] If God destroyed Pharaoh and his army in the sea for oppressing God’s people, then He must destroy you, America![9] If God poured out His wrath against pagan kings for following after idols and false gods, then He must pour out His righteous anger on you, America![10] And if God poured out His wrath for doing “evil in the sight of the Lord” and not following after Him, then He must pour out His righteous anger and judgment on you, America![11] 

Hear the word of the LORD: “He who does not obey the Son of God shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”[12] 

The Voice of Jeremiah’s plea: O America, overwhelming chaos is coming to your nation![13] No matter where I look, I see ruin and devastation! Even the stable mountains will shake! Only God’s mercy can keep you from complete destruction![14] 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.[15] Repent, mourn your sin, turn back to God, and be saved before it is too late!
