"If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.” (Jeremiah 18:7-10)
Throughout history, God has warned entire nations, through His prophets and through His Word, to repent of their evil ways and turn to Him, or He would destroy that nation, inflict disaster upon it, or scatter its people. The nation of Israel is one example. Babylon, Assyria and Rome are also examples of kingdoms who refused to repent and were destroyed or scattered and rendered powerless.
Certain cities were also destroyed for their wickedness and sexual immorality. Sodom and Gomorrah are two stark biblical examples.
Sometimes nations are given hundreds of years and multiple chances to repent before God ultimately does away with, or inflicts disaster upon them.
Knowing this, where do you suppose the United States of America stands with God today?
"Well, we're a godly Christian nation, founded on biblical values and principles" you might say. And while that may have once been true, look how very far we've fallen as a nation since then.
Sexual immorality, corruption at all levels, kicking God out of almost all public life, satanic worship, false religion, disobedience, idolatry, covetousness, theft, murder, drug abuse, human trafficking, pornography, needless abortion, prideful arrogance against God, and every other kind of sin run rampant in America today.
Do you believe God will judge the nations? And do you
believe you will personally have to stand before God and give an account of
your life; for every word, thought, action and choice? If you answered yes, you
would be right on both counts.
It is reported that an unborn baby is killed every twenty seconds in America. Abortion is the most frequently performed surgery in this
country. 95% of abortions are done as birth control, 1% are done because of
rape/incest, 1% because of fetal abnormalities, and 3% due to the mother's
health problems.
An estimated 58,000,000 babies have been killed/terminated in
the U S. since 1973. Today the population of the U. S. is approximately
324,000,000. The total number of babies killed since the Roe-v-Wade Decision is the
equivalent of nearly one sixth of the population of America today.
Let that
sink in.
Do you think God considers an unborn child to merely be a fetus—just a meaningless blob of flesh?
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." (Jeremiah 1:5)
God is the One who forms babies in the womb. And before He creates a life, before we were ever conceived, He already knows each and every one of us. But the Liberal administration and majority of the American people today seem to think that abortion as a matter of birth control or convenience is somehow okay. After all, it's a "woman's right to choose" they say. How do you think God feels about that? He formed that life in the womb, but it's now a woman's right to choose to end it?
Look again at verse 10 from Jeremiah 18:
"And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.”
The nation of America has been blessed and favored since its inception. But this nation has steadily declined since its beginning. And today the majority of America is in full rebellion against God. He spoke through the prophet Jeremiah that He will reconsider the good He intended to do for a nation who does evil in His sight and who disobeys Him.
America has been warned—through God's timeless Word and through generations of preachers of righteousness, to repent and turn from its sin and turn to God.
We've had over 200 years to repent. We've used up our account...
“Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now
commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on
which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man (Christ Jesus) whom
He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the
dead.” (Acts 17:30-31)
This nation cannot be saved by any political government or administration. It can only be changed from the inside out, as the nation of individuals humbles itself and turns to God to be saved.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
—God is Love and Love Never Fails.
