The title of this post is based on what is apparent to anyone who reads through the prophets. This morning, while I was getting ready, I listened through several of the minor prophets, I heard clearly, the current sins of the United States, those that were very apparent in the election fraud.
I will pull statements of those specific sins from Isaiah 1 – 5; so if you doubt what I say, just read those chapters and ch. 6, which describes the glorious Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the same yesterday, today and forever; Who, since the new covenant, judges all people of the world, as He did Israel:
- Isaiah 1 opens with a rebuke of spiritual harlotry. Isaiah said that Israelites had been chastened so thoroughly that there was no place on their bodies for another stroke of the rod – that is, regarding chastening: they were unaware of it; they were immune to it; they continued hopelessly rebellious
- Their rebellion was apparent in the following ways (apparent also in the USA): spiritual harlotry; lack of concern for God that showed itself in greed, covetousness; lust for gold and silver and disregard for righteousness, justice, honor of others
- They perverted justice by accepting bribes – think of our government officials, professors, business leaders…all those lusting for globalism and the rewards they will earn from China by selling out the American workers again; while they also exploit all the workers of the world
- How did they pervert justice other than accepting and giving bribes? By lying, cheating, stealing, indulging every base lust of humanity; pursuing their own personal power; taking the property of the poor – it filled their homes; ignoring / not defending the poor, widows and orphans – in other words, ignoring the needs of their constituency and pursuing their own fortunes, power, influence…
- Chapters 2 and 3 indicate that God will harshly judge them: they will throw away their silver and gold and hide under rocks when He comes to judge
- He will bring down their country by removing all the leaders of consequence, the competent politicians, military leaders, priests, counselors…all the types of leaders a nation needs to prosper
- He will replace those competent leaders with incompetent ones that scripture calls children and women – incapable of leading, those who have other kinds of interests: think of Pelosi and George Soros, who seem solely concerned with wrecking this country
- In chapter 5, the prophet speaks about how much God hates those who call evil good, and call good evil and other qualities of these wicked leaders and their followers are noted as God tells how He will remove all the protection that He formerly afforded them
- Chapter 6, God sends Isaiah to confront these people; but his words will harden their hearts and they will not be able to understand what he means – therefore, they will be unable to turn from their wickedness and will be eternally ruined by it
- To close, I want to tie in a few thoughts from Psalms 10, 11, and 12: these psalms describe the wicked, how they hunt down the poor and the righteous, how they think that God does not see the harm they inflict upon their victims; how the wicked and those who support them (who must also themselves be wicked) will be judged
I am reminding myself and readers that God is sovereign and He sees what is happening; in fact, these sorts of things are likely escalating because God is judging the USA.
Anyhow, the correct response for Christians is to turn to the Lord and pray for this nation. Those true believers who turn to God will be enabled to endure the judgments God brings upon this nation.
For further encouragement, read Isaiah 1-6 and Psalms 10 – 12.
