I just finished watching the video by Messianic Rabbi Jonathon Cahn, titled “The Harbinger Man”. It is the story of his life, his travels in ministry, and how the book “The Harbinger” came to be written and published. The movie is also a warning to the nation. It is a very instructional and moving story of God trying to give the American people a chance and the incentive to return to Him. This nation was founded by men who looked to God in everything they did. Cahn is a modern day prophet, telling us what we need to do to stave off God’s judgment and the destruction of the nation.
George Washington, in his first address to congress warned us of the danger of what we see the government doing today. Washington said that only two nations in history have been formed dedicated to God, the first being Israel, the second being the United States of America. He asked that “how can a nation dedicated to God violate His laws and expect to retain God’s blessings?”. Today the nation, including many Christians, has turned away from, and even rejected God. Abortion is a curse on this land as millions of unborn children of God are destroyed in the womb because they are seen as a “blob of tissue” that is an inconvenience rather than being seen as a creation of Almighty God to be thankful for, homosexuality has been raised to prominence over God’s design of one man and one woman as a couple, and God has been removed from any place in the public square, under the auspices of the false doctrine of “separation of church and state”, a policy that goes totally against the Constitution. Some denominations have gone so far as to ordain open homosexuals into the clergy, even appointing them as bishops. The Catholic Church spent decades hiding the fact that priests were molesting young boys, opting to transfer the offenders rather than deal with the problem honestly.
The Constitution says that the government cannot establish a national religion, it does not say that people of faith cannot be involved in government nor does it say that Christianity cannot be proclaimed in public. The satanic cult of islam and the hybrid cult called “crislam” is being lifted up by the government and many church leaders while Christianity is being persecuted. These things deny the Lordship of Jesus Christ and tell God that the nation no longer wants His protection. God has given us the gift of free will and will not force his protection on those who don’t want it.
As happened to ancient Israel, the USA will soon fall if we don’t repent. Israel was conquered by Babylon, Assyria, Rome, and others when they turned from the laws of God and worshipped idols. When they eventually repented and turned back to God they were restored. We may not have a chance to be restored if we allow this nation to be destroyed. In the Book of Genesis God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because Lot could not find 5 “righteous men” who would honor God. I don’t know but I suspect that Jonathon Cahn could be our modern day Lot. I also don’t know how many “righteous men” it will take for God to spare this land but it seems that for today there are enough of us to hold off God’s judgment but how long we can stave off the inevitable is something only God knows. I do know that this nation is being betrayed by its political leaders and many church leaders as homosexuality and abortion are no longer called sin by many who call themselves children of God. Instead of standing on God’s Word they quietly accept or even vote for political positions diametrically opposed to God’s Word, the Holy Bible. Many also worship the idol of political correctness that elevates the pagan cult of islam above the teachings of Jesus Christ.
How has the nation established as “a shining city on a hill” fallen so far? People have turned away from the Holy Bible and begun to worship their carnal desires and the idea that there are no “absolutes”, especially something as “old fashioned” as the Word of God. Unless we turn this ship of state around and begin to honor Almighty God as our founders did we are going to find ourselves in slavery to satanic forces. We are not fighting flesh and blood enemies but are fighting a spiritual war against the powers of darkness, satan and his demonic allies. Most of our political ruling class and too many so-called Christians have turned to secular humanism and political correctness, choosing to worship idols to please man instead of holding to the Bible and the teachings that provide the path to prosperity, freedom, and happiness. Ephesians 6:8 tells us what we are fighting and 2 Chronicles 7:14 gives us the solution to today’s dilema. I am not going to quote the verses here. If you aren’t familiar with them and want to know what I mean take the time to open a Bible and read them for yourselves. While there read some of the verses surrounding them to garner context. I am not judging or condemning anyone, God does that part. I am merely pointing out what should be obvious to anyone interested in looking at the reality of our nation today. Our nation is being taken over by people who either knowingly or unknowingly are doing satan’s work in the USA and too many Christians are either willing to go along with them to be accepted by society or are intentionally oblivious. Our future depends on every child of God being proactive in turning the nation back to God. It will take vigilance and the courage to stand up for God in the face of certain persecution, as the 1st Century followers did. Jesus said that “he who denies me before man I will deny before the Father”. I don’t want to be in that group so I will continue to stand for the Gospel regardless of the cost because I want God’s approval not man’s.
I submit this in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.
