THE APOSTASY IS EXCEEDINGLY GREAT – CHASTISMENT IS NEAR

And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this people all these things, they shall say unto thee, why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin which we have committed against the LORD our God?

 Then thou shalt say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, says the LORD, and have walked after other gods and have served them and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me and have not kept my Law;

 And you have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk each one after the imagination of his evil heart, not hearkening unto me:

 Therefore I will cause you to be cast out of this land into a land that ye do not know, neither ye nor your fathers; and there ye shall serve other gods day and night; for I will not grant you mercy.                           Jeremiah 16.10-13

This will not be long. It is clearly before us. The nation is up to its waist in sewage. The great statesmen, men and women of character, and rule of law is--and has been disintegrating before our eyes in our generation. Interpret the above as pending judgment coming at us like a slow motion train wreck.

The Kavanaugh hearings are a prime example. This is about law and the proper carrying out of the law. The Word of God says in the mouths of two or three witnesses a thing is established. There are no witnesses. This is an accusation. It is also politics on the lowest and most vile level.

The hypocrisy was thick yesterday. Senator Blumenthal misrepresented his military service—he lied. He told Kavanaugh one mistake means you are dishonest. Bill Clinton has three accusers who also have no witnesses but he is the darling of the left. Corey Booker admits to grouping.

This is how low we have descended. Our country is polarized and divided like never before. The main issues are abortion, LGBT, and #metoo. These issues have become weapons in the hands of unscrupulous people who are only interested in their own agendas. They are being used to attack God’s Law and family.

The Biblical prophets of ancient Israel addressed all these issues as their nation slipped into apostasy. The nation refused to hear and turn. They became exceedingly more depraved and wicked.

God is not sitting up there waiting to push a button and chastise us. He has established His law and written it down for us to read, study, and adhere to. Very simple.

The law is spiritual. In Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 we are warned the consequences of disobedience. The Law, being spiritual, will prove itself out. The judgment is built into it. We will come under its curse through our disobedience. The Law will judge our sins as an individual and as a nation. The Law is our school master and reveals our sinful nature.

America will be held accountable and our freedoms will diminish. WE have only ourselves to blame for what is coming. God will bless and guide His true disciples and followers but it will be a trying time for us also. There  will be much required of us as His representatives in this wicked and perverse world. It is at the doorstep.

Those two words, wicked and perverse—never did I ever understand them until most recently. Now I get what the Apostle Paul was saying:

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you. And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith. 3But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.…1 Thess 3.1-3
