Picking up from where we left off, I should explain for those unfamiliar with scripture, the repeat of what Jeremiah warned ancient Israel about, and its rejection of those warnings, leading to the total defeat of Israel, doesn't forecast our doom at this time. This prophecy is not yet near to coming true for America at this time. Bible prophecy unlike others, must be 100% true, any less, and it is rejected as false teaching. We are headed for a final judgement called the Tribulation, but although these are times of great stress and it is a time of tribulation, it is Not the tribulation that will befall humanity at the end of this age. Much must occur before life's final act as told in the book of Revelation occurs. For one thing, the serious followers of Jesus Christ must be removed before this final judgement occurs. This removal of God's people is called the Rapture. How will you know it happened? Many people will suddenly disappear, as they will be taken up to be with Lord Jesus, therefore missing the seven bowls of judgement that will be poured out onto the earth.
But leaving biblical prophecy to be studied and learned from by those who seek truth behind for now. And lets' concentrate on the immediate future, and what we as a people can do to combat this two pronged attack against our nation. We still have that nasty flu/virus to deal with, complicated by the fact that like everything else, there are those who seek to weaponize it and separate us for political gain. As for the onslaught of the new socialist/communist agenda, which believe it or not has just been made worse as Biden surrendered to the Taliban, by heeding their red line and refusing to extend the 8/31 deadline to get Americans and our allies out of Afghanistan, home of the new caliphate. The greatest power in the known world just buckled to the threat of evil religious fanatics.
Now is the time to come together as one. No longer should it matter if you are a Republican or a Democrat, progressive or conservative, we must be as one people. This is not the time to point fingers and gloat saying things like, See, I told you so. But rather, each one of us must become Americans first, and whatever party or group you identify with second. Forgive me if I am repeating myself, but keep in mind the basic truths that surely you've heard before, as in, A nation divided against itself cannot stand, and again, United we stand, divided we fall. Maybe once before in our history have things been so serious and dangerous, that being the Civil War. Thankfully it hasn't gotten that far yet, but could it happen? Before you answer, think to yourself, If someone was to tell you that the United States of America was going to surrender to a third world country, you would have said, No, that could never happen. Come together America, we will live or die together. And as for how an entire country can repent and begin to return to our God, a good start would be to stop being the world's number one baby killer.
The debacle in Afghanistan brings with it, the twentieth anniversary of the planned evil against America, which began some twenty years ago on Sept. 11, 2001. You could say that Afghanistan brought it full circle, because as with all things, history is cyclical. That is the main reason that we study history, because again, Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. You've probably heard the term that, What comes around goes around, and so the successful culmination of that evil plan hatched 20 years ago comes to fruition in a few days. The objective in 2001 was not just to knock down a couple of buildings, but rather to strike America at her heart and to humiliate her on the world stage. The original attacks in NYC, Washington D.C. and the horror of Shanksville Pa. was a hard blow and it set us reeling for a while. But we came back defiantly, built a new tower, and killed most if not all of those who perpetrated those crimes. It took twenty years before the Islamist terrorists could celebrate the victory they so wanted. To humiliate this great nation. And thanks to this current administration's blunders, ineptness, and outright stupidity, for the Taliban and their friends, its Mission Accomplished. So now what?
Not surprisingly, the answer is right there in world history. Thousands of years ago, Israel had the same problem, and for the same reason. We have ignored God until He has become a punchline. If you want to see the future if things go on unchanged, read the prophet Jeremiah in the bible. People are people, and the ancient Hebrews were all about self and selfish pleasures, just as we have become. They were warned about worshiping self and other idols, and breaking the first commandment. But like us, they would not listen. Of all their idols and gods, one called Baal, ( essence of evil), was the most important god, the one who they gave their children for, to be sacrificed by burning on the alters of Baal. As for us, we may not burn the children, but we lead the world in abortions and the harvesting of baby limbs, organs as such. Sold on the open market like so much beef. To think that we mirror the ancient Jews, hopefully doesn't mean that we are forced to the same end, being beaten as a country so completely, that Israel's people were taken to Babylon as slaves. We, like them, are so far ignoring the warnings from both Sept. 11th attacks, and an endless stream of atrocities that go on to this day. The saving answer then is the same one as now. Because this so clearly is a spiritual war, it must be fought spiritually as well as physically. and as with the ancient Hebrews, God offers to save us from ourselves by promising, If My people will humble themselves and...
