Many many mercies God is giving us for sure, but as log as we are doing nothing about our violations of His law He isn't going to let us off the hook in the end. When in Hosea god says "My people are destroeyed for lack of khoweldedge" He means they are violating His law without restraint and that's what destroys people. Funny how even beloievers forget that. We aren't destroyed for lack of koweldge about much of anything else, though i shppose such things can contribute, but disobeying god is what destroys people and destroyes nations. If ytou avoid sin, as a person or as a nation, I mean gross sin since we are all sinners in spite of all, or if we sin and repent, the we get blessed by God, He progtects us, keeps us from harm. That's true for nations too. When He says upon giving His people His law from Sinai by Moses, that He is giving them a choice between life and death, therefore choose life, He means obey my law and you will be taken care of, you will live, but if you disobey you will meet with all kinds of destruction and over the history of Isreael their sins led them to destruction. That's what is going to happen to America eentually, and iss alreayd in various forms, if we dont' do soemthing about such grievous sins as gay marriage, abortion "righjts" and many other like offenses.
A t least Christians should be thinking along thse lines and praying our hearts out in repenting and pleasding for mercy. Unless somethig happens in that direction, we are like God's foolish people ahwho ar going to be destroyed as a nation by our lack of knoweldge, meaning our lack of belief that sin brings destruction.

Wednesday afternoon. Qas just watching the final prepas of the moon launch which is now on a two hour window during which I gather the allaunch could happen at any time. I hope and pray for the best but I'm wrigin g a post about God's judgment and it makes me nervous. We've ha d an awful lot of air accidents in the last couple of years it seems to me, a lot more than usual it seems to me although I haven't heard anyone say so and it could be my own hyperawareness or a greater reporting of such things than normal. Probably not the latter though. And other kinds of accidents, water accidents, hear accidnts of all sorts. And the weather has been pretty ferocious, winter weather all over the country, tornadoes and hurricanes and wildfires. All that is God's judgment but I never hear a report of people preaying for mercy over these things.
WQe should be a clearly defined Christian nation but we got betrayed by tghe framers of the Constitution who left God out of it although the nation was founded almost entirely by serious CHristians for Christain reasons. Then George EWashing actually said that we aren't a CHristain natio n in his communications with the barbary pirates, the Treaty of Tripoli. That is truly nerve rattling for me. ith that as a starting point we have all too many ways the nation could veer away from God in subsequent years, which has certainly been accomplished only too well by now. For a century or so we were still predominantly a Christain natio in fact at least, as Toqueville acknowledged in Democracy in America, and that fact is without doubt the reason we became the greatest most prosperous nation on Earth while it lasted.
tha's what Trump wants to restor, and he's doing a great job of it, but the problem is, as I've been mentioning here lately, that it doesn't include straightening things out with God. We have laws that offend God and violate His Law, we hav rampant abortion, rampant divorce freedom of sppech for Pornopgraphy of all things, and other things it was never meant for, a kind of political speech it was not meant for. But that's God's judgment in that one, the other things are the reasons for God's judgmetn.
Lord have mercy on the Artemis mission. It's already a problem that it's named after a pagan goddess, but then so was Appollo named after a pagan god.
I don't see how with nothing being done to roll back our offenses against God's Law that American can remain America for much longer. Even if Trum succeeds, as he seems to be doing, in respooring a lot of our powers and even our goodness, the reason we were evenr a great nation was our CHristian character and if that isn't resported I don't see how we can survive much longer. Europe is a mess because they gave up on God long before we started down that path. So now they are overrun with foreign enemies who hate them. That situation by the way is one of the forms God 's judgment takes against a nation according to teh Bible, foreign occupation of our country. It's happening guys, even though Trump is gdoing a fantasic job of undoing it.
But if that occupation i God's judgment then what he is doing is rolling back nowt our sins but God's judgment against them. That's what Israel did as reported in Isaiah nine, chapter ten, where they say to the bricks knoecked down in God's judgmetn taht they will simply rebuild with stronger material, hewn stone, and to the sycamore trees destroyed in God's judgmetn, that they weill replant but this time with a hardier tree, the cedar. And the passage ends with the comment, His hand is stretched out still. Nothig was done to turn away God's judgmetn. And that's true of America too. The attack on the WTC was God's judgmetn and nothing was fdone to make us right with God, in fact many pastors denied that God had anything to do with it. So what happened, We rebuilt the towers with a single tower which had at ists base, guess what, a huge hewn stone.
And we've been under God's judgment ever since. Even our congtinuing sins are part of God's judgment.
A repentant heart on the part of a great manuy Americans would go a long way, prayer with a repentant heart, but unless something is actually done to turn back our offesnes, well, Judah ended up in Babyone, and the northern kingdom just about disappeared altogether.
