Judgment comes when a nation moves away from the Source of life:
In Leviticus 26:
14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,
15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,
16 I also will do this to you:
What is the end result of defying FATHER’S commandments and statutes? When a nation is persistent in its denial of FATHER’S full and complete authority over all of creation and promotes lawlessness and perverseness throughout the land, judgment arrives at its front door:
I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart.
And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17 I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies.
Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you.
18 ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
19 I will break the pride of your power;
I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.
20 And your strength shall be spent in vain;
for your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.
The United States has left its righteous roots and has taken on an attitude of entitlement by using the fruitfulness provided by FATHER to become an arrogant and bullying nation. It has used its monetary system to fund the overthrow of other nations and promote subtle forms of lawlessness using covert operations while at the same time depicting itself as the solution to all of mankind’s problems. Secrecy has replaced transparency among those who have been elected to lead. The average citizen would be appalled at the corruption and greed that are now commonplace. Rigging of markets is now an acceptable practice at the highest levels and no bankers are concerned about personal liability of jail time for their actions. They are simply doing the bidding of those in control. Severe judgment is at hand.
Did FATHER strike terror in the hearts of the Egyptians when the firstborn were slayed by the death angel? Certainly! When this terror came, the children of Israel were protected, not removed, from this righteous judgment. They became witnesses and observed the results of what can happen when a nation follows a sustained path of lawlessness.
Men’s hearts will fail them when judgment arrives. We must be prepared for whatever reality FATHER brings forth knowing that it is necessary to do “radical” surgery when the infection has spread without resistance. The term “and suddenly” comes to mind. When the Strong Angel arrives, we must not ask if he is with us or against us but simply state, “We are with you for we are FATHER’S!”
