Ancient Israel in 732 BC was warned by GOD by a shaking, by the Assyrians, they became
defiant, 21 years later the Assyrians scattered the northern kingdom, never to be again. 695 BC Babylon invades Judah, Judah does not repent and also become defiant, 19 years later Babylon burns the Temple and destroys Jerusalem, and takes the people captive.
Sept. 11, 2001 America has it's first warning, but in the past 13 years America, who started to turn back to GOD at first, withing months began to walk away, turned its back on GOD and become as defiant as those nations that worshiped idols. If America continues on the path of insubordination and opposition to GOD, her judgment will be one worse than could be imagined.
At the dedication of the Temple the LORD appeared to Solomon and said, "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain,
or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people,
14 if my
people, who are called by my name,
will humble
themselves and pray and seek my face
and turn
from their wicked ways, then I will hear
from heaven, and I will forgive
their sin and will heal
their land." (2 Chronicles 7:13,14).
George Washington in his inaugural address on April 30, 1789 said, "We ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never
be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right
which Heaven itself has ordained;. . ." Even the Fathers of this nation knew to whom is owed for the greatness that this nation was going to achieve. Sadly though, 225 years later, the opposite has occurred.
Rome and the Ottoman Empires lasted longer, over 400 years.
Whether the nation's judgment is sooner or later, are you ready? Have you partaken of the bread of life, the living water? The most important issue is not where the nation is headed, but you! This seems like a redundant verse BUT IT IS THE GOSPEL, and that is that God so loved the world that He [took on flesh and became a man named Jesus the Christ], gave His one of a kind Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life...... (John 3:16).
