Is God judging America?
In biblical times a prophet made it clear that God's judgment was coming. He told Abraham that if He could find just ten righteous men in Sodom and Gomorrah He wouldn't destroy it (He couldn't find ten).
Many have prophesied that America will soon experience the wrath of God; that America will face judgment for the evils; homosexuality, killing of innocent children through abortion and the departure from the Word of God (lukewarm ness and apostasies). We are told of visions and dreams of famines and fires that create great destruction throughout America. Is this what is to come?
Are there biblical principles we can use to discern as to when events may be a judgment of God?
Why was Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed? The prophet Ezekiel gives us some reasons:
"49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good." (Ezekiel 16:49-50)
According to this passage those cities were proud, gluttonous, lazy, and uncaring towards the poor. The other reason God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah was because of the abomination of their homosexual activity:
"22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants." (Leviticus 18:22-25)
The Book of Jude confirms their sexual immorality by going after "strange flesh":
"7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities." (Jude vss.7-8)
In the Leviticus passage God declared that these sins defiled the land the people were living on and thus removed them through His judgment from heaven. Therefore we could say that if a country is committing these types of behavior God will one day judge it.
American judges is currently ruling / legislating that homosexuality among other sins are OK and that if we (Christians) don't accept them then WE could be held in judgment by men. This is the same situation that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were faced with. The judges of the cities allowed the people to put beds in the streets and by force have homosexual relations (know them) with strangers. This is why the people almost beat down Lot's door burning with lust (Genesis 19).
The judges in the cities of Sodom and
Gomorrah
Ruled beds erected in the streets,
Their Judicial system was corrupt. Judicial system in America also corrupt!
Judges OK sin (homosexual and gay marriage) and they OK'ed it's enforcement through
force. America today has judges forcing us to accept homosexuality; they will jail those that do not OPENINGLY accept homosexuality and gay
marriage.
Where did the spirit of homosexuality began?
Noah and sons: NOT Ham. Noah cursed CANAAN (Ham's son) Gen. 9:25
Genesis 14:1-2 (descendents of Canaan)
City of Zoar not occupied by Canaan descendents and was the only city not destroyed on the Sodom and Gomorrah plain. Gen.10:15-19
Why God judged the cities: homosexuality Heb 13:2; Ezekiel 16; Genesis 19.
If our judicial system passes laws against the laws of God, judgment will come!!
This is where America is today! God's judgment on America is coming!
Are you ready?
