Another school of thought suggests that America is indeed
Babylon the Great Whore; and that some day in the near
future, the Beast and the Ten Horns will indeed rain nuclear
fire down upon her. Even at this current time, articles
occasionally appear in the news which speak of the growing
nuclear threat from such countries as North Korea, Iran, and
other enemies of the United States. Whether such reports are
merely red herrings meant to distract the attention of the
American public from other more important issues, I really
don't know. At the same time, I am again reminded of the
words of the Patriarch Job who said:

"For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and
that which I was afraid of is come unto me."
Job 3:25, KJV

Regardless of how soon, or in what form this chastisement
manifests itself, if we again look to the examples found in
the Bible, we must remember that no matter what the Lord
does, and no matter how harsh His judgment may be, it is
still a Divine Token of His Love; because as King Solomon
and the Apostle Paul wrote:

"Open rebuke is better than secret love."
Proverbs 27:5, KJV

"For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every
son whom he receiveth."
Hebrews 12:6, KJV

What we can also learn from the Scriptures, is that in most
cases, the majority of the people do not take heed to the
counsel given by the messenger. As we saw earlier, in the
case of ancient Israel, rather than accept the Lord's many
warnings and repent of their sins, the political and
religious leadership tried to stop the message from being
delivered, or else they tried to neutralize the effect it
had on the people by vilifying the true Prophets of the
Lord, by calling them liars, deceivers, false prophets, and
traitors to their own country. In some cases, they used
their own false prophets to contradict the words of God's
true Prophets. Such was the case with the Lord's Prophets
Micaiah, Jeremiah and Elijah. Most of the Lord's Prophets
were persecuted and slain. While the Prophet Jeremiah seems
to have escaped death, he was vilified like the rest of his
contemporaries, and cast into prison on a number of
occasions, as I discuss in other articles.

That being the case, depending upon who reads this article,
I suspect that, as on other occasions, I will at the very
least receive a few pieces of hate mail, in which I will be
accused of being insane, or anti-American, or full of hate,
or religiously intolerant, among other things. However, such
messages do not move me. I simply read them and then trash
them. As with other articles I have written on this topic, I
will at least have the satisfaction of knowing that I have
obeyed the Lord, and delivered my soul; for as the Lord told
the Prophet Ezekiel:

"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of
Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them
warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt
surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to
warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the
same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood
will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked,
and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked
way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered
thy soul."
Ezekiel 3:17-19, KJV

Regardless of how the messenger and his message are received
by the people and their leaders, the Bible tells us that it
is utter foolishness to seek to harm the Lord's messengers.
Not only that, but we are told that God always vindicates
His Prophets, and the messages which they bear, when they
come to pass. Consider these verses:

"Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no
harm."
Psalms 105:15, KJV

"And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then
shall they know that a prophet hath been among them."
Ezekiel 33:33, KJV

Just as all of the prophecies of the past have come to pass,
it is also a sure thing that those remaining will come to
pass as well in God's perfect time; and this may very well
include the judgment of America. It is my prayer that if
your heart is not right with the Lord, that you will soon
take the necessary steps in order to remedy the situation.
God is indeed very merciful and extremely long-suffering. As
Peter tells us, it is not His desire for any to perish, but
there must come a time when His judgments begin to fall. Are
you ready for them? I truly hope so. If not, please take
care of it today; and that begins with accepting Jesus
Christ as your Lord and Saviour if you have not already done
so. Once you have done that, please place your trust in Him,
and remember this:

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall
abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the
LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I
trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the
fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee
with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his
truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be
afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that
flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in
darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A
thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy
right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine
eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even
the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall
thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For
he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in
all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest
thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon
the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou
trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me,
therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high,
because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I
will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will
deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy
him, and shew him my salvation."
Psalms 91:1-16, KJV

With this Psalm, I will conclude yet another series. May the
Lord bless and keep all of His obedient children in the
troublesome times ahead.
