Israel - America & God's Judgment Pt 7 - Repentance

repentance410-2002 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
In this series I have been showing how God has begun to judge this nation. I fear that if we do not heed His warning signs, then His judgments will get more severe trying to get our attention, till we finally do turn from our wicked ways and turn back to Him.
But to do that, we need to repent.
The problem is that in today's churches where hell, fire and damnation isn't even taught, how can one know about repentance?
How can people repent, when they don’t even know that they are lost.
To be saved, one has to realize that they are lost before they can be saved.
Let me explain.
I ran into someone talking about all the millions of people who are going to heaven.
He said that when the rapture takes place the world will be in utter mass confusion due to the millions upon millions of people that will be missing.
I asked him how does he know that so many people will be taken in the rapture?
He then pointed to all the people who profess themselves being a Christian.
Really? So I asked if Oprah is going to heaven because she professes being a Christian?
Yes he said because she believes in Jesus.
OK…..
So I asked him if he could show me in scripture where anyone who makes this profession, they will go to heaven.
He of course pointed to John 3:16…
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
What this person was promoting is called "easy-beliefism."
People often point to this and say that they “believe” thus they are going to heaven.
Once they believe they can go do anything they want because all is forgiven and they have their “fire insurance” in hand.
This is one of the major reasons that this nation has not repented.
I mean why repent when you are going to heaven already? You believed, so everything is honky-dory.
Problem is this is not what scripture is saying nor teaching.
bronze-snakeNicodemus And The Fiery Serpent
In John 3 Christ was talking to a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who we learn was a true believer in Jesus.
Nicodemus was a learned man and he knew the scriptures, so Christ talked to him with examples he could understand about salvation.
Christ, using the an example out of the Old Testament, stated the following…
John 3:14-15 (KJV) And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
What Christ is talking about here with Nicodemus was when God sent serpents as a judgment upon the Israelites in the wilderness.
Nicodemus understood this.
We can read the account here in Numbers 21:6-9
Numbers 21:6-9 (KJV) And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
What Christ was pointing out here to Nicodemus is that the Israelites were saved in the wilderness because they looked upon the serpent. But they not only looked, they repented for their sins and then accepted in faith that they would be healed if they would get up out of their tents and look and believe.
He was pointing out to Nicodemus that they (the Israelites) had to realize that they had sinned.
He pointed out that they had to seek repentance for that sin, and then freely accept the gift of healing that God provided.
This is the way that led to life for the Israelites in the wilderness after being bit by the snakes.
Believing is the final point to salvation not the beginning point. One has to realize they are sinners in need of a savior before they can believe upon the savior.
Otherwise who are they sinning against?
The Israelites in the wilderness knew that they were lost and dying. They have been bitten by snakes as a judgment sent by God.
But God being merciful sent a way for them to be saved.
All they had to do is believe and receive the gift of being healed.
They sinned against God, knew they sinned, seeking repentance, then believing they will be saved from death, they accepted the gift of healing by getting up out of their tents and looking (in faith) upon the fiery serpent.
There were also those who did not believe. They did not repent. They laid there in their tents refusing to look upon the fiery serpent and they died because they did not believe.
This is why I say that belief is at the end of the equation, not the beginning.
If one does not realize they are sinners, then why do they need saving? What is the point in believing if one does not realize that they are on the path to Hell?
To be saved, one first needs to realize they are truly lost.
1 John 1:9 (KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Wide is The Gate 
Matthew 7:13 – 14 (KJV) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.  
Here in verse 13 Christ himself states that MANY people will take the broad way leading to destruction. In other words, people will go to hell and a lot of them.
He continues and states that only a FEW will find the way that leads to life. He does not say millions, but he states only a “few there be that find it.”
hinn-nairobiNow to go on a little further in Matthew 7 we learn that there will be many people who stand before the Lord saying…
“…Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” (Matt 7:22b)
Note here that these people are professing to know Christ and in fact they did many “wonderful works” in His name. These people are not professing Buddha, Gandhi, or Joseph Smith, they are professing Jesus Christ as Lord.
What does Christ say to them?
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
So right here are many people who “believed” in Christ, but are not getting into the kingdom.
Proper hermeneutics show us that the best way to define scripture is through scripture itself. In regards to “believing” James tells us the following…
James 2:19 (KJV) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
So right here we are seeing that just because you “believe” does not get you into heaven. The devils “believe” and they sure aren’t going to heaven.
What the devils are missing is that they are not repentant. They believe in Christ because they know who Christ is.
We must first realize that we are lost and destined to hell. It is the Holy Spirit that makes this true to us through conviction.
We have all felt the Holy Spirit convicting us at one time or another. It is what we did in that moment that matters.
Did we repent and seek God's forgiveness or did we continue on doing what we were doing and in turn hardening our hearts.
Do you know that there is nothing we need to do to go to hell?
Yep, we are already lost and destined to hell.
Scripture is very clear.
Romans 3:23(KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
This mere fact that we are all sinners alone separates us from God. When Paul wrote the word “ALL” that means you, me, everyone.
All means all.
But there is more. Because we are sinners, we are destined to death.
Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
These two verses right here alone show that there will not be millions upon millions of people who will go to heaven.
The Barna Group ran a survey in 2003 showing that in a national survey of 2033 adults only 4% of adults have a biblical worldview.
"If Jesus Christ came to this planet as a model of how we ought to live, then our goal should be to act like Jesus. Sadly, few people consistently demonstrate the love, obedience and priorities of Jesus. The primary reason that people do not act like Jesus is because they do not think like Jesus. Behavior stems from what we think - our attitudes, beliefs, values and opinions. Although most people own a Bible and know some of its content, our research found that most Americans have little idea how to integrate core biblical principles to form a unified and meaningful response to the challenges and opportunities of life. "
What the Barna Group is pointing out is a fact, not many people know or read their Bible, therefore God’s word does not affect their lives. People are basically going on instinct and what they “think and feel” and what others tell them as opposed to what God’s Word REALLY says.
God is judging this nation, that is a fact.
We are just blind to that fact because we have hardened our hearts against Him.
We need to realize that if our nation is going to be whole again, we need to turn from our wicked ways, humble ourselves and repent. Then God will heal our land again.
bible-hands1But how can we repent when most do not even realize that they are sinners?
Romans 10:14-15 (KJV) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Our nation has become ignorant to the truth of God's Word. They do not know they are sinners. How can they "believe" if they do not even know.
The enemy has done a great job of getting prayer out of school, the 10 commandments, demeaning God, Jesus Christ, God's Word the bible, and Christianity.
Satan has done a good job of removing God from our nation.
God warning Israel states the following…
Hosea 4:6 (KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
We as Christians need to get back to the solid Word of God. We need to realize that we are a nation of sinners in need of the a savior.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Our nation has allowed the enemy a foothold and now we are paying the price. False teachings have become the norm due to the people's ignorance of God's Word.
We need to get back to the ways of the Lord, back to His Word so that our nation can be healed.

Where all that starts is with us Christians. Getting on our knees, humbling ourselves and praying for God's forgiveness. We need to repent before the Lord and ask Him to heal our land again.
Who Do You Serve?
Jesus stated the following…
John 14:6 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If you do not have Christ in your life, you will spend eternity in hell. This is a fact. It does not matter if you believe this or not, it is the truth spoken by Jesus himself. If your name is not written in the Lambs Book of Life you will go to hell for what you have not done and that is accepting Christ as your personal savior. To be placed in the Lamb Book of Life, you need to turn your life completely over to Him. Having “head” knowledge or “just believing in Christ” is not the same as having “heart” knowledge with Christ living in your heart. We know that even the devils believe in Him, where are they spending eternity?
James 2:19 (KJV) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
We work hard at Prophezine to show that Bible Prophecy is coming to pass. Because of this fact, the Bible is true. Since the Bible is the true and is in fact the inerrant word of God, there is a heaven and there is a hell.
If you claim the title of “Christian” then take account of yourself this day. Many claim the title, but we read in God’s Word that the title does not get you into heaven.
Matthew 7:21(KJV) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:22(KJV) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23(KJV) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Who you serve will determine where you will spend eternity. If you are not serving Christ and a true child of God, then you are serving Satan and a child of the enemy.
If you are not 110% sure, then take account of yourself, your very life depends upon it.
1 John 1:9 (KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

America & God's Judgment Pt. 6 - Israel's Captivity Took Place in Two Stages

obama-medved-410-200In 721 BC –The Assyrian invasion took place. The northern kingdom of Israel was taken into captivity.
Hezekiah, who was ruling Judah, he was a good king. He observed the ways of God and he listened to Isaiah the prophet of God. Judah was spared, Israel was captured.
Years later a new king came to power. His name was Coniah , son of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah king of Judah. (1) Because Coniah was evil, and turned his back upon God, worshipped other gods, Judah's conquered.
But it was not conquered by the Assyrians, no; they were conquered by a greater and newer power, the Babylonians.
The ground upon which the nation was dedicated by King Solomon was destroyed, the heart of Israel, Jerusalem and the temple. Babylon, a greater and stronger power took over not only Israel, but Judah as well killing over 100,000 Jews. All of the land was now in captivity because they did not repent. Their evil leaders turned from God and God judged the entire nation.
After many years of rebellion, in spite of God's warning signs, Israel still did not repent and finally the judgment came. The Northern part of Israel would be taken by Assyria. Then Judah, would be taken to Babylon where they would remain for 70 years.
Following In The Same Footsteps as Israel Took 2700 Years Ago
We see that through God's judgment Israel is scattered. Fast forward to our nation turning from God and instead of being "scattered" We have become prisoners in our own country. Our nation is occupied and the occupation is growing stronger and stronger every day. We have bowed to our attackers and become subject to them.
We do not want to admit this, but it is true. Many of our God given freedoms have been lost, and what has been put in place is a form of double standards.
Our occupiers call it Dhimmitude.
Here is how Wikipedia defines Dhimmitude…
Dhimmitude is a neologism first found in French denoting an attitude of concession, surrender and appeasement towards Islamic demands. It is derived by adding the productive suffix -tude to the Arabic language adjective dhimmi, which literally means protected and refers to a non-Muslim subject of a sharia law state. (2)
Like Israel
When Assyria, the inventors of terrorism, was the world power, Israel was captured and her people exiled northward to the area of the Middle East.
The captivities began in approximately 740 BC, when the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and eastern half-tribe of Manasseh were carried away by one of the first successful Assyrian invasions.
This is recorded in both 2 Kings and 1 Chronicles …
2 Kings 15:29 (KJV) In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.
1 Chronicles 5:26 (KJV) And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
daniel-luckenbillDaniel Luckenbill, author of " Ancient Records of Assyria and Babylon" states the following…
Assyrian cuneiform mention 27,290 captives were taken from Samaria, the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, by the hand of Sargon II.
Sargon records his first campaign on the walls of the royal palace at Dur-Sarraku (Khorsabad):
In my first year of reign *** the people of Samaria *** to the number of 27,290 ... I carried away. Fifty chariots for my royal equipment I selected. The city I rebuilt. I made it greater than it was before. People of the lands I had conquered I settled therein. My official (Tartan) I placed over them as governor. (3)
So as we see after many years of rebellion, in spite of God's warnings, Israel still did not repent and finally the judgment came.
This judgment was to come as captivity in two stages. First the northern part of Israel would be taken by Assyria. Later, the southern part, called Judah, would be taken to Babylon where they would remain for 70 years.
Like Israel, I believe that 9-11 was our first judgment. We have been occupied by the modern ancestors of the Assyrians, the very same who invented terrorism. Instead of being captive in a foreign land, we are now captive in our own. We (Christians) are slowly being subjected to live under the unwritten rules of Dhimmitude, but those rules are slowly being put down as law, in favor of anything but Christianity. Creeping Sharia is taking place and I see more and more of our land is being taken captive.
Many of you may be doubting that we are in fact occupied.
There is a simple way to prove it.
Go to your town's main square and start protesting something, let's say evolution or the Catholic Church. You hold signs, scream at the top of your lungs, march around, etc.
People are going to look at you as some sort of nut case, many will laugh and mock you, but you will not garner much attention.
votingNow go to that same place and start holding signs, scream at the top of your lungs, march around protesting Islam and what will happen?
People will be fearful, police will be called, you will probably be shut down in a moment's notice all out of fear of retaliation by those who occupy our land.
Don't think it is true? Then I challenge you to try it yourself.
As I pointed out, God is not a respecter of persons, but He does honor the office of responsibility.
The office of Responsibility is ordained by God. So it does not matter what that "person" believes, it is the office with which that person holds that is important.
I know that it is hard for people to separate the two, but there is a difference. There is the person and then there is the office.
God deals with the office of responsibility. This is why it is so vitally important that when we elect people into positions of responsibility that we put God fearing, God loving men in those offices.
That is why it is so important that our leaders are God fearing men, because it is their "worldview", be it Biblical, Humanistic, Atheistic, Hindu or Muslim, that will dictate their actions when they are holding that office of responsibility.
Over and over again since 9-11 our leaders have stood in defiance to "our enemies" but more than that, in defiance to God.
Not once since 9-11 has our nation's leader called for the nation to repent and turn to God asking Him to heal our land.
Here is what George W Bush said the Tuesday night, after terrorist attacks on New York and Washington…
president-george-w-bush"Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.
The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow.
Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.
The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I've directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.
I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.
America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.
Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me."
This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.
None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world. "(4)
Our leader at the time of the attack did not seek God's Forgiveness, nor did he recognize the fact that we were being judged.
Instead of calling us to humble ourselves and call upon Jehovah God, he calls upon "a power greater than any of us."
He continues the defiant claim that many in congress , senate, state and local leaders proclaim.
" We stand together to win the war against terrorism."
" We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them"
"all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time."(4)
September 13, 2001 was a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims Of the Terrorist Attacks. Proclaimed by the President of the United States of America.
The following is the text of that proclamation.
On Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked America in a series of despicable acts of war. They hijacked four passenger jets, crashed two of them into the World Trade Center's twin towers and a third into the Headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense at the Pentagon, causing great loss of life and tremendous damage. The fourth plane crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside, killing all on board but falling well short of its intended target apparently because of the heroic efforts of passengers on board. This carnage, which caused the collapse of both Trade Center towers and the destruction of part of the Pentagon, killed more than 250 airplane passengers and thousands more on the ground.
Civilized people around the world denounce the evildoers who devised and executed these terrible attacks. Justice demands that those who helped or harbored the terrorists be punished -- and punished severely. The enormity of their evil demands it. We will use all the resources of the United States and our cooperating friends and allies to pursue those responsible for this evil, until justice is done. We mourn with those who have suffered great and disastrous loss. All our hearts have been seared by the sudden and sense-less taking of innocent lives.
We pray for healing and for the strength to serve and encourage one another in hope and faith.
Scripture says: "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted."
I call on every American family and the family of America to observe a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, honoring the memory of the thousands of victims of these brutal attacks and comforting those who lost loved ones. We will persevere through this national tragedy and personal loss. In time, we will find healing and recovery; and, in the face of all this evil, we remain strong and united, "one Nation under God."
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Friday, September 14, 2001, as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001. I ask that the people of the United States and places of worship mark this National Day of Prayer and Remembrance with noontime memorial services, the ringing of bells at that hour, and evening candlelight remembrance vigils. I encourage employers to permit their workers time off during the lunch hour to attend the noontime services to pray for our land. I invite the people of the world who share our grief to join us in these solemn observances.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-sixth.
[signed] GEORGE W. BUSH
Not once does Bush recognize and proclaim that our nation has turned from God. Not once does he call our nation to humble ourselves, seek His face and seek repentance.
What he does proclaim is a continued defiance in the face of the enemies and the face of God.
The answer at that time was a simple answer…
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
But instead we stood proud with words like "We Will."
" We will persevere"
"We will find healing and recovery"
"We remain strong and united"
But here is the statement that send shivers down my spine, a statement that many people did not "hear" and what I believe is a prophecy by our leader proclaimed upon our nation.
"All our hearts have been seared by the sudden and sense-less taking of innocent lives."
Websters 1828 Dictionary defines seared as the following..
Seared 
SE'ARED, pp. [from sear.] Burnt on the furface; cauterized; hardened;
Our hearts have been hardened, and in fact our hearts continue to be hardened.
Folks, our president, due to the office of responsibility basically proclaimed a curse upon us as a nation. Knowingly or unknowingly the curse was uttered and to this day our hearts are still hardened.
But Bush is not the only president. Our current president, Barrack Husain Obama - one who sympathizes with the growing occupying enemy; has continued that stance in defiance.
Barrack Husain Obama's inaugural address January 20, 2009 reiterated the vow of defiance, to rebuild, to begin anew, and rise from the ashes on our own and without the collective prayers and sanction from God.
obama-speech-415x458Instead of seeking God's face, he kept stating.."WE WILL"
“…Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America. … For everywhere we look, there is work to be done.
The state of our economy calls for action, bold and swift. And we will act, not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth.
We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together.
We'll restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost.
We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age.
All this we can do. All this we will do…
Like many that night, I remember watching this in our own home. This was history being made and it was “The Moment.”
But I also was troubled as a Christian recognizing the unrelenting pride and determination when President Obama stated…
We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense. And for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken -- you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you
I was watching as Obama gave this speech. My stomach sank and a moment of dread came over me. Did the American people realize what this man just said?
Like President Bush cursing us with a searing/hardening of our hearts, I believe our current president has "prophesied" our doom.
As with Israel, God uses the enemies to judge the nation.
In the past I have written showing the similarities between America and what took place in Israel found in Isaiah 5.
Our current president has knowingly or unknowingly basically spit in the face of God's judgment. In doing this, I believe that he has cursed us as to how I believe God will react to our defiance.
I believe that He will act against us as he acted against Israel, the only other nation to be dedicated to Jehovah God.
He will lift up an enemy (ensign) from a far and they shall attack with speed swiftly.
Here is how Isaiah describes it…
Isaiah 5:25-30 (KJV) Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
searing-heartObama has uttered a curse upon our nation, just as President Bush did with "searing our hearts". Both while holding the position and office of responsibility.
Again, this is a position of responsibility that is ordained by Jehovah God that over sees a nation that is dedicated to Jehovah God, Creator of All.
The curse of our seared hearts continues to show itself. We are a nation that refuses to turn from our wicked ways. We refuse to repent, we continue to stand in defiance. It is that defiance that will be our down fall.
But there is still the remnant.
Those who recognize and see clearly that 9-11 was in fact a judgment know that we need to turn our nation from its evil path.
There are those of us who are bible believing Christians which recognize the need to heed and submit to 2 Chronicles 7:14.
If we as a nation refuses, what will follow will be like Babylon swooping down on Israel. God warned His people with Assyria. They heeded His warning but for only a season. Eventually the whole of Israel was judged though her enemies, the mighty Babylonian kingdom.
Jehovah God raised up an ensign from a far and they attacked with speed swiftly, over taking Israel, capturing them and put them in bondage.
I believe that this to will be our fate for not turning back to Him.
As proclaimed, our hearts have been seared.
Could we change? We could, but to be honest I do not see it to be very likely because our hearts are in fact seared / hardened against Him and instead. Only God can change that hardening of a nations heart.
That January 13th 2001 we prayed for healing, but skipped the part about " shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways."
On 9-11 we were attacked by the ancestors of Assyrians, inventors of terrorism, and now they occupy this land; growing like a cancer.
But my fear is not that, my fear is the mighty Babylonian kingdom.
Like Israel, we had our version of "Assyrians" attack us through God's judgment.
I believe that we will have our own version of "Babylon" also attack us, that is if we do not turn from our wicked ways.
"Our Babylon" has been growing again in might. In fact they have re-elected a president who ruled with a mighty hand. Once his term for president ran out, he ran for prime minister. While in both position, ultimate power over the his country never wavered. Just recently his country had elections for president and he ran again and recently won the office once again, continuing his power over his country.
For some time they have hated us. Their plan of our destruction has been taking place over 100 years. Proof of this is staring us right in the face from the oval office.
Now I am going to go out on a limb here and say that if you are one of the remnant, you know in the pit of your stomach who we believe "Our Babylon" is.
This morning Tracye gave a gasp as she was reviewing the morning's news, something that I have not yet done because I am putting today's issue together.
The headline that shocked her was …
obama-medvedDuring missile defense talk, Obama tells Medvedev he'll have 'more flexibility' after election
President Obama assured Russian President Dmitry Medvedev Monday that he'd have "more flexibility" after the November election, during a conversation that appeared to focus on the touchy issue of missile defense.
Obama, during a sit-down with Medvedev in Seoul, urged Moscow to give him "space" until after November. The conversation was relayed by a TV pool producer who listened to the recording from a Russian journalist.
"This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility," Obama told Medvedev.
Obama appeared to be asking Medvedev to relay this point to Vladimir Putin, who recently won election to return to the Russian presidency.
"On all these issues, but particularly missile defense ... this can be solved but it's important for him to give me space," Obama said.
Medvedev told the president he understood the "message about space. Space for you ..."
After Obama noted he'd have more flexibility in the future, Medvedev told him: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir." (Putin)
U.S.-backed plans for a missile defense shield in Europe have been a sensitive subject in Russia, and one that Putin exploited during his presidential campaign.
The White House, though, downplayed the conversation between Obama and Medvedev. (6) - emphasis mine
I want to state right here right now that I am not a prophet, nor do I claim any prophetic gift. I am just a watchman on the wall who is looking out across the vast area. I cannot say with any certainty what will happen.
I have been warning about what I call The Coming Storm for some time now. I believe that God will send "minor" storms to continue to try to wake us up. We see that in natural disasters that are supposed to happen once a century, but seem to becoming the norm yearly.
I believe that He is using the sabbatical year as another means to get our attention.
9-11 was a sabbatical year and the 2008 fall of Wall Street, which dove tails along with 9-11 was a sabbatical year.
The next sabbatical year will be 2015.
The Remnant
I also believe that God has set apart a remnant, watchmen who had the foresight to see the enemy coming and hid themselves just like those did in ancient Israel.
Scripture says…
Proverbs 22:3 (KJV) A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
In fact several chapters later Solomon repeats himself word for word.
Proverbs 27:12 (KJV) A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
The watchmen on the wall have been putting two and two together, trying to warn our nation. See I am not alone in this, in my research I have found others who also are saying the same thing.
I get calls and emails weekly, out of the blue from people feeling the same "urgency" to prepare and be ready, just like Tracye and I.
I believe that once the storm hits we will have a chance to share the gospel, but even more, help establish the spreading of the gospel like we once did many years ago.  Very few good, Godly missionaries are going out to all the world. In fact many are coming home because no one wants to support them anymore.
I believe that we have a chance. If a nation can be saved due to the prayers of one Godly man, then we can make a difference here.
Christ told us to "Occupy Till He Returns."
To be ready "in season and out of season"
And to "Always be ready to share the hope that is within us."
I believe like Noah and Joseph, we need to prepare to "survive the coming storm."
The only thing that will save this nation is returning to Jehovah God, and the only way to do that is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, showing that people are lost and destined to an eternity to Hell.
The answer?
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
