Apostate America
Timothy Birdnow
This is disturbing. The American People are dumping religion at an alarming rate. And then they are puzzled about why the nation is failing.

The Bible states quite clearly that God punishes nations that forsake Him - and that He will heal those that repent.
2Chronicles 7:14 states:
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will heal the land"
But if the People continue in apostacy and rebellion the results will be quite different.
Jeremiah 17:5 says:
"Thus says the Lord: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. "
Amos8:11-12
Helpful Not Helpful
"Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God, "when I will send a famine on the land— not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord, but they shall not find it.
Judges 2:11-15
And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals. And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed down to them. And they provoked the Lord to anger. They abandoned the Lord and served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he gave them over to plunderers, who plundered them. And he sold them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, so that they could no longer withstand their enemies. Whenever they marched out, the hand of the Lord was against them for harm, as the Lord had warned, and as the Lord had sworn to them. And they were in terrible distress.
I would add that America has no guaranteed place in history as did Israel and God smote Israel TWICE for apostacy. Why do we think we won't suffer punishment?
The Left has labored for two centuries to strangle christianity and our modern hipster culture thinks we are so smart we know better than our fathers. But rather we are fools.
It may not matter much who we put in office this November; we are heading down the path of ruin.

Very well said, and cited, Timothy. I dearly wish your eyesight was better so that you could read some of Jonathan Cahn's books. I think some of them are now available in audio book format. I would greatly suggest that you attempt to get "Harbinger" and "Harbinger II" and give them a listen, as your time permits! We've gotten every one of his books, including his latest which just arrived earlier this week.

I might try that Dana. I used an audio book in the hospital and didn't really get into it, but that was a sci-fi novel that I wasn't familiar with (it was what the recreation therapist gave me) and it wasn't that great a story. But the Harbinger might be better on tape. I need to find a way to do books, be them audio or a special reader.
Any way you slice it he's probably completely on point. I fear we are racing headlong to the abyss. This Gordian Knot has become untangleable - only a cutting may resolve it. And that cutting will be by the sword of Christ.
