It's Bigger Than the Election Of Course

I haven't posted for some time, largely due to health issues and a hospitalization, and I think I should explain again why my posts are so badly written, which is that I have macular degenration and it is in afact a miracle that I can write anything at all, but I can't read what I have written.  I'm aware of the mistakes even as I type them but I can't see to correct them and only hope they won't interfere too much with the meaning for aht I'm saying.  Later I can listen to what I've written using the Read Aloud function if I can find it with my magnifier on the menus, and that makes it quite clear that I've written a huge numbers of typeos and some of them do garble what I'm trying to say to some extent.  All I can do is say I'm sorry for that  and wish it weren't so but the Lord doesn't seem to be interested in healing me but in letting things stand as they are.  

-------------------------------------------


 Everything we are suffering right now is god's judgment against America.  it's all well and good to hear the conservative talk shows identifying the corruptions that have brought it all about, the threat from crimanls coming over the border not to mention the sheer numbers of people that the nation can't support and are illegal anyway, adn the infleation is killoing us, that the Decocrats or at least biden blames on trump instead of on himself who is the one resposnsible for it, and his disastrous foeieign politices that are arming our enemies against us and turning us against Israel, which in igteself exposes us to God's swrath.  Israel is also in violation of God but they are nevedrtheless His people and He has promised to curse those who scurse them as biden is now doing in his politices conscerning the war against Hamas and his tolerance of the protests on behalf of Hamas in this country, of all the outrageous abominations imaginable.  good grief.  But gain, it couldn't be happening if we were in God's favor and obviously we are not.  Our since go back decades and there has been absolution no repentence even mentioned or enacted even by a church that I know of let alone the nation itself.  We used to have Presidents who called for a day of fasting and prayer toward God from time to tome.  Long since we've seen no such thing.  We just go on racking up sins against Him and storing up wrathh against us.


Too many are now on the side of evil for there to be much hope of turning us back.  On the other hand Gideon went to war with a tiny little army at God's command, so if we could muster that pure army of righteous to repent for our sins perhaps we could make some headway against this gallping judgmetn from God.  Sure I'm all for working to get Trum p back into the Presidency, there is nothing else we can do on the human plance at the moment if we are not going to prey and pray and repent, but it can't ammount to much in the end unless we do repent and seek to throw out all the sins we've been committing for the last few decades.  And mayhbe even back to the beginning of the nation for that matter.  I think of Washington's telling the barbary pirates that we aren't a Christian nation.  let's start there then becayuse we ere then and for many years following a Christian nation and that is why God blessed us and p[rospered us.  he isn't going to bless any nation that mixes His truth with other religions which all derive eight her from the uman spirit or from Satah and not from God Himself.  All those have to be given up.  The Pope's visit to Congress a few years ago was a horrendous abomination in the sight of god.  The Pope is the Antichrist as the Protestant Repoformers showed.  nad Giving Islam any say at all in our political life is another abomination.  they are a very effective instrument of God's wrath against us, they are certainly no friend to American.  


Toqueville say the religious nature of america when he visitied and it was a Christian exspression he saw amonth the people, not some generic spirituality.  It is that Christian identity we need to eget back, and that seems impossible right now to tsay the least.  but maybe if we had a gidenon's army of true orthosdox belivers praying and repenting on tbehalf of the nation we could begin the process of turning us back to god.  


Oh but no ecumenical prayers lease.  None of that mixed group thta prays together at prayer breakfsts in Washington.  That is an babomination in itself.  No Catholics, sorry, they do not share the true orthodox Christianity, sorry, no Muslimes, , no native Americans, none obut ture biblical Protestant believers who are born again by the Holy Spirit have the power to rprevail with God on behalf of the antion, 


;If there is evil in a city will not the Lord have done it, the prophet amos says I thinkin chpter three, and My people are destroed for lack of knowledge God says through thrt eprophet Hosea in chapter four I think, meaning lack of knowledg eof Him and His law.  That is what we have lost and that is why there is ivil in our cities and our people are destroyed for lack of knoslwldge of God.


It would be great if we could have a great Awakening such as transformed the nation right before the reevolutionary War and stamped the Christian charatcter on us for a long time to come.  but we are no longer the consistentlyu christian peop[le we ere then and God doeasn't seem at all inclined to ansswer all the prayers for revival that have gone up to Him forf decades now, and that must be because we are inc luding false relgions in our prayers, or that is the conclumsion I cam to some time ago anyway.  I hope god is guiding me in all this and I think He is.

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.
