The day the Christians have dreaded has come. The once proud and beautiful United States of America has fallen. No the nation has not ceased to existed, but it has fallen from the blessing of God. When a child of God is sent to jail in the U.S. for standing by their faith and their beliefs then it is clear this nation is no longer under God protection but it is of the world and the world’s current master.
We have seen it coming. We have tried to get the message out, for this is what we have been taught to do within the Bible. We are to spread the word and we are to be persecuted for doing so. What is truly sad is those that oppose those that stand for God and still think they are one with Him. It is for these that those that truly profess to be of the Body through their actions showing what they truly are makes them weep and morn for the loss.
But what is lost?
The Bible makes it clear that those that are friends with the world and enemies of God. This is why we that know where we stand with God are driven to tears and sorrow and pain. For those that we love and those that we have befriended and those we have seen up close and afar have shown what and who is important to them and it is not God.
If you befriend a sinner and do not reprove, rebuke or exhort them to turn from their ways. Not only do they hate God but they hate those that they have so-called “befriended.” Yet they do not see it. They are blinded for they have embraced the world so tightly that they are unwilling to release it. They are totally unaware that the tighter they hold on to the world the more it ensnares and binds them to the chains of slavery called sin. A slavery that will not allow them to see the glory of God, but the wrath of God, for God is to be feared and to be loved. If you do not fear the consequences of your actions then you have not fear of God and instead of worshiping God you are daring God to do His worst to you.
The thing is, why would you challenge God in such a manner? We are but mere mortals whom he created. Who do you really think is going to win? It is not you, that is for sure, and thus you now understand the sorrow we feel.
This day is a day of true sorrow to the world, for another mark against it has been sealed. That is two within this very year, and you think the wrath of God is not far behind?
