God's Judgment on America Overshadows the Upcoming Election

 Qith the conviction of DonaldTreump on all thirty four of rhte phonyy charges against him, rendering him a felon according to the fphony politically motivatedcorrupted new legal system designed for rhe purose of convicting him of anything, just anything at all, with that conviction a great many Trump suporters are doubling down on their support, sending in money to support his campaign and in general energies d more than ever to rally behind him.  If he is sent to prison for these dcharges this energy is only going to increase.  This is a clear travesty of justice to those who understand it and have been folloiwing it.  Manyh of course haven't heard the truth about it and the are doing to go on with no understnading of what isactuallyh happening to the country, this takeover by Marxism and communism, this overthrow of our Constirtution and of the whole foundtaion of what used to be America.  As many are recognizing this is a watershed moment from which the country many possibly  notot recover.  Given a new regime thta seeks its restortaion, if it has enough logenvity andpopular support, it may be possible to recover it some time in the future but the odds don't look good right now.


So it's clear where I stand on this and I certainly want the good guys to reveail and the country to be rescued from this corruption as soon as possible.


But as I ponder all this I'm also aware of a fact that looms behind it all that is so far neever mentioned, a fact I believe the Lord brings to m mind and wants me to recognize and write about.  That fact is that He is in charge.  None of this could happen if He did not will it or allow it.  Why would He allow such evil to overwshelm this country that awas once a force for good in the world?  Why would hHe allow evil men to hve so much power, allow so mny ordinary citizens to be deprived of fatts that might steer them away from such corruption? Why would He give us a corrupt President and corrupt judges and prosecutors and lawyers and Congressmen as He has obviously donte?


Well, what does the bible say about how God oiperates?  He brings evil against a land when it has violated His law and those countries tht had the most light from His Law are the ones who receive the greatest punishemnt.  How can we cdoubt that this is what ois going on now.  It raises a melancholy question.  Will He have mercy on us enough to allow trump to win the election in Novemember andbe able to make some beneficial changes to bring tghe country back to its former prosperity and sanity?  


Well, He might.  We haven't yet used up all our blessings from the timeof our goodness and our general obedience to His law.  Or have e?  He had mercy on us in leteting us have Trump the firsrt time, but he also allowed a constant hanranguing of accusation against him the whole time he was in ocffice including two impeachments of all things, all bsed of course on leftwing poloiticas.   Perhaps we might have enough energy guilt up this time to counter such efforts if he wsins?  I guess wse can hope.


But all tht at only amolunts to a way to circumvent the true cause of our being under God's judgment in the first place.  We have violated God's Law, We have come to ignore god altogeterh.  The only remedy for any of this is to turn back to god and undo the cioviolations we have committed in the past.  It's a form of blaspheny to pray for God's blessings when we are commiting sins aginst Him.  Why shoul.d He bless us?  Why should He let us have Trump again?  Why sholuildn't He continue to allow our border to be overrun by enemies who have our destruction at heart, and allow the spending policies of the Democrats to destroy the economy and deprive the citiziens of enoughj money to live comfortably as we use to be alble to sdo.  Why shouldn't God just stand back and let the country descend into total ruin as long as we are not making efforts to undo what we have done to deserve His judgment against us.


Remember nine eleven.  QAay too many evangelical hchurchers took the position that God wouldn't do such a thing and was of course opposed to it unequivocally.  But a few knew that the attack on the towers was God's judgment itself.  What else could it be.  god is in charge of everything.  destruction can't occur unless there is a cause for it and that couacause inis rejection of god and His Law.   If we have deserved the attack, and it was pretty mild when you consider how bad it ould be and could yet be, we should hacvve had a public confession and repentance of course our sincs to recover our place in god's facvor.  But nothing of the sort happened.  We went on in our selfrighteous certainty that we did not rdeserve this and ihtatit was nothing but unprovoked evil against us.  Well, as far as the human protagonists go, it was unprovoked, but God is th e one who brings about actions no matter what the human protagonists think they are going.  When Israel sinned against Him He brought their enemies Assyria and ABabylon against them.  That doesn't men He approved of the motives of Assyria or Babylon, they wer emerely effective instruments for the punishment of His people.  And in a general sense tghta is how He operates swith all nations as they continue in violation of His law.  Not always pujishing by external enemies, but also by internal enemies like corrupt governments, famines and failed crops anddestructive weather patterns and deteriorating ingfrastructionure and the like.  Any source of destruction could be a method of God's judgment against a nation.


Consider what He says in Isaiah ine ten, which was the basis for Jonathan Cahn's book agbout God's judgment through nine eleven.  He ointed out that the pasage in Isaiah refers to brings that have bfellen while the people vow they will rebuild even stronger than before as a consequence, andthat the sycamore trees were cut dowsn by the attack by their enemies but that they will plant more hardy trees.  As Isaiah goes on to say God is displeased swith this attitude of self sufficiency and efiance of His judgment.  His judgments are mean to to wake people up and turn rthem back to him, but instead the fallen nautre goes on to devise schemes to better tolerate the destruction and ignores god's role in it altogether.    though He smites them, the pasages says, they do not turn aback to hioto Himj, and since they do not turn back to hihim His nad is still outstretched in judgmetn.  That is also the story of nineeleven in America.  We have not repented and His hand is still outstrecrtched against us.  And we have gone ton to accumulated even more sins against Him.  We already had Roe v Wade and despite the msuppremec coutr's turning it bakc to the states it is still in force in the nation and still operates as a sin against god, and to that wee've now added Gay Marriage and this transgeneder abomination.   His outstretched hand can lower the boom any time now.  


jSo what hope is there for this upscoming election?  I don't know but even if He has some mercy on us He isn't going to continue wsilth it for long, we are on the fast track to destruction and it's going to come unless we trun to Him and repent of a long list of violations of His law and seek to restroe the Christian character of America.
