Do all the tragedies and violence in the world make you wonder if God really exists? The book of Revelation tells of the destruction of Babylon but identifies Babylon as Jerusalem. The details listed fit the characteristics of the USA very well. America's knowledge about God comes from Jews who wrote the messages contained in the Bible. Established upon the principles set forth in the Bible, America became the greatest nation in the history of man. God keeps his word. The nation which honors him lives under the mantle of his safety. The nation which does not honor him receives the results of its own decisions and conduct. A nation's leaders set the standard for the people. These are the primary leaders of America:
Politicians
Politicians are like leeches sucking the life's blood from the people while pretending to be servants of the people. They control with laws which they don't apply to themselves. They embrace "Criticism", the spiritual creature of Revelation 13:1, as their mentor, effectively dividing the nation. Broken promises, deceitful avoidance of truth and self-serving leadership leave distrust and violence in their wake.
The Press and Media
The American press and media condemned Pravda when it was controlled by Stalin because he only permitted information he wanted the people to know. Now they are like Pravda promoting an agenda and reporting only what they want the people to know. They encourage evil by putting evildoers in the spotlight.
Lawyers and Judges
Lawyers and judges, sworn to truth and justice, develop a vocabulary to redefine truth and a rationale to redefine justice. The result is a deceiving twisting of words which make the word "lawyer" synonymous with "liar." The "whole truth" is not a binding part of the oath for the lawyer and judge.
Hollywood
Hollywood has shown the world how to make immorality and violence desirable and acceptable by calling it fun and entertainment. Their respect for the Bible is comparable to the respect for a Sears and Roebuck catalog in an outhouse.
Government School Teachers
Teachers are given the sacred trust of teaching the young but many seem more concerned about their own desires and use the power of their union to get their way, even if it is detrimental to their students. They submit to man's law which requires them to tell the children the words of God recorded in the Bible are not true. Then they go to their religious meeting place and pretend to "worship" the God whose words are not true.
The Clergy
The clergy reduce God to theology and put him in a book to be studied. They amend what God says in the Bible to fit their opinion and agenda. They know many things about God but often fail to resemble God. They make sincerety a ticket to Heaven regardless of a person's conduct and belief. They build doctrinal fences which limit what they and the members of their congregation can do for God. If God should ask a cleric to do something for him contrary to the teachings of the cleric's religious group (as God asked Abraham to do), the chances are good the cleric would reason the request to be a bad dream or a hallucination and refuse to obey God. Religious ceremonies become a substitute for a personal, minute-by-minute relationship with God. Political correctness lures the clergy away from the truth about the dead spiritual state of mankind causing people to become ignorant and/or indifferent to the fact that the death of a human spirit caused by refusing God's help is worse than any physical malady. This lack of intelligence leaves people blind to the fact that every human attaining mental responsibility, must admit his rebellion against God when God speaks to him in spirit, repent of that rebellion and totally submit to God to be healed of the disease called "sin."
How can all these intelligent people, acting so contrary to God, think they believe in God? The answer is religion. Religion teaches people about God but can't give them the faith required to access God. Religion teaches them to, like Satan, "believe in" God but can't supply the faith to "believe" God. Religion is a vaccination which makes the inoculated immune to God. Religion is an opiate which dulls a person's senses to his own spiritual condition and the reality of God. America, clothed in religion and political correctness, is a religious, un-Godly nation like the church of Laodicea (Revelations 3:14-17). We make God sick at his stomach. We are like vomit in his mouth. Because our religious leaders tell us we're ok we refuse to look for ourselves and read the handwriting on the wall. We are being weighed in the balances and unless we individually repent and turn to God, the United States of America will be found lacking and will collapse under the weight of her sin.
Here is a question from Jesus to America: "Why do you call me Lord and not do what I tell you?" (Luke 6:46)
Here is a warning from Jesus: Jer USA lem! Jer USA lem! The killer of prophets who stoned those sent to you. How many times I desired to gather your children even as a hen gathers her brood under her wings and you refused. Watch! Your house will become like a desert. (Matthew 23: 37, 38).
