FATHER out of HIS Love for mankind always warns them before judgment arrives and this time is no different. All of us remember 9\/11\/2001 and where we were at on that fateful day. No matter who instigated the attack, judgment came to the shores of the U.S. When the country\u2019s response should have been repentance and remorse, instead it was pride, defiance, and unrighteousness.<\/p>\n
Fast forward to 2008, seven years later, and we nearly had a meltdown of the financial system and were in hours of the government proclaiming martial law. In the next seven year period we have had zero percent interest rates thus the middle class and the retired have suffered with less income from their life savings. True unemployment has stayed around 22-23 percent during this period. In response the government has increased transfer payments and food stamps to keep the populace from rising up. Throughout this entire period the U.S. continues its war in the Middle East, the longest in its history.<\/p>\n
There have been countless prophets warning America and those warnings have mostly fallen on deaf ears. We have a tendency to believe if those warnings don\u2019t come to pass rather quickly they must have been false. However, FATHER is longsuffering to a point and does not hastily deal out judgment. We should remain vigilant and not assume that all is well in the land. Proverbs 16 expresses the position we should be taking:<\/p>\n
16 \u200b\u200bHow much better to get wisdom than gold!<\/p>\n
\u200b\u200bAnd to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.<\/p>\n
\u200b17 \u200b\u200bThe highway of the upright is<\/em> to depart from evil;<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bHe who keeps his way preserves his soul.<\/p>\n \u200b18 \u200b\u200bPride goes<\/em> before destruction,<\/u><\/p>\n \u200b\u200bAnd a haughty spirit before a fall<\/u>.<\/p>\n 19 \u200b\u200bBetter to be<\/em> of a humble spirit with the lowly,<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bThan to divide the spoil with the proud.<\/p>\n \u200b20 \u200b\u200bHe who heeds the word wisely will find good,<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bAnd whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is<\/em> he.<\/p>\n America\u2019s hedge of protection has been removed and the enemy has been able to wreak havoc within our borders. It is true for those countries who historically professed to be Christian nations.<\/p>\n Babel was a tower of defiance and mankind had totally separated itself from FATHER, In an effort to rise up to the heights of the spirit, the tower was man\u2019s attempt to become as god using their soulish thinking and methods. Men have continued to build taller and taller buildings in an attempt to show their superiority and display their egos. The buildings communicate the arrogance \u201cMine is bigger than yours thus I am better than you.\u201d Perversion continues to spread across the land.<\/p>\n In Isaiah chapter 9, the defiance of the leaders of Israel are but a type and shadow of the leaders of today:<\/p>\n 8 \u200b\u200bThe Lord sent a word against Jacob, \u200b\u200bAnd it has fallen on Israel.<\/p>\n 9 \u200b\u200bAll the people will know\u2014 \u200b\u200bEphraim and the inhabitant of Samaria\u2014<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bWho say in pride and arrogance of heart:<\/p>\n 10 \u200b\u200b\u201cThe bricks have fallen down, \u200b\u200bBut we will rebuild with hewn stones<\/u>;<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bThe sycamores are cut down, \u200b\u200bBut we will replace them<\/em> with cedars.\u201d<\/p>\n 11 \u200b\u200bTherefore the LORD shall set up \u200b\u200bThe adversaries of Rezin against him, \u200b\u200bAnd spur his enemies on,<\/p>\n 12 \u200b\u200bThe Syrians before and the Philistines behind; \u200b\u200bAnd they shall devour Israel with an open mouth.<\/p>\n \u200b\u200b\u200bFor all this His anger is not turned away, \u200b\u200bBut His hand is<\/em> stretched out still.<\/p>\n When judgment comes, man\u2019s pride attempts to defy FATHER\u2019S Hand in the matter. In man\u2019s arrogance and pride he remains blinded from the reality that he is under judgment. Those who ascribe to the current political path of destruction will suffer the most. What does FATHER think of hewn stones? We read in Exodus chapter 20:<\/p>\n 25 And if you make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone; for if you use your tool on it, you have profaned it.<\/p>\n Man has replace the covenant of marriage with a different covenant represented by a six color rainbow. FATHER\u2019S covenant to the earth is a seven color rainbow. Man\u2019s redefinition does not suddenly make it true. It only reinforces the reality that a harsher judgment is imminent.<\/p>\n Those who place their trust in FATHER will be spared the harshness of the coming judgment, no different than when the death angel passed over those who knew how to be protected from the severe judgment over Egypt. On the other side of judgment is a restoration and those who have trusted in FATHER will be as lights unto the world. The final preparation continues as the warning is still in effect. Don\u2019t be lulled to sleep because it hasn\u2019t fully occurred yet for FATHER isn\u2019t restricted to our timing and expectation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FATHER out of HIS Love for mankind always warns them before judgment arrives and this time is no different.
