As a person who tries to look at life with and optimistic attitude, I wish I could say with total confidence that America, as a nation still has her best years a head of her.I am a realist however and America, is clearly, now a nation in decline and if all things remain as they are now, I would have to conclude that America's best years as a great nation are behind her.
Over the last seventy years or so God, has been trying to get America's attention. God, has been fervently calling America, asking her to return to him. God called in the early sixties but America, did not listen and the Supreme Court, took God, out of the classroom. God, called in the seventies but America did not listen.Women, burned their bras and the NOW organization, marched for the equal rights amendment abortion became legal and gays and lesbians everywhere came out of the closet and marched in gay pride parades in the streets of San Francisco and even with the onset of Aids in the late seventies and early eighties America, remained defiant against God. God, kept calling but again America, didn't listen.God, called throughout the eighties and nineties but this was the me generation. Nancy Reagan, told children just say no to drugs but cocaine was America's drug of choice in the eighties and nineties and America, said no to God. God, finally got America's attention on September 11, 2001 that that attention only lasted about a year and then America returned to business as usual. America, is now poised for a total economic collapse with a 16 trillion dollar national debt coupled with an 86 trillion dollar debt in entitlement spending for Social Security and Medicare. America's debt to GDP ratio now stands at 103 and still climbing and though some responsible economist try to warn our leaders in government of our pending economic doom America, still refuses to listen or turn back to the God, of our fathers.
The Bible, tells of Jesus, as he looked over his beloved city of Jerusalem and wept and as he wept he said the following;" O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets and stoneth them that are sent unto thee how often would I have gathered thy children together as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings and ye would not." I realize this verse is talking about Jerusalem, but God, could just as easily be weeping for America, right pleading for America, to change her ways and turn back to him. God, is surely calling but alas, America, still isn't listening.
Jesus, condemns the cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida, for their refusal to repent and accept him as the messiah but he could also condemn America, for her unwillingness to repent and turn back to God. The passage reads as follows;""Woe unto thee Chorazin! Woe unto thee Bethsaida, for if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes." America, may not be stoning prophets today but her heart as far as God is concerned has certainly turned to stone and I don't see anyone in sackcloth but I think God's judgement is about to fall on America and when that happens all that may be left of America, are her ashes. Right now God, is calling America, to turn back to him but America, still refuses to listen and I'm so afraid for America because I believe god is calling America, and this may be God's last call. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
