Lamentation For America

The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure. – Ecclesiastes 7:4

It may do us some good to consider the Word of God as it pertains to a nation of His people who have abandoned God. The health/wealth prosperity gospel has deceived so many in the Faith – Christianity in America is nothing  but become a lukewarm rag.  Christians by and large refuse to believe repentance is necessary, that God will always look the other way in their sin because they “accept Jesus”.

Consequences are coming for our individual and national sins.  God’s Judgment is at hand.  An evil and perverse generation now rules a people grown lukewarm.  America has been given over to a debased mind and the people delight in wickedness while the Righteous are hated and scorned.  It would do us good to read the book of Lamentations, and contemplate the scriptures applying directly to this nation – for such is our future and will become our lament for certain if this people and the Christian church does not repent and turn from it’s ways.

1 How deserted lies the city, once so full of people! How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations! She who was queen among the nations has now become a slave.

2 Bitterly she weeps at night,tears are on her cheeks.  Among all her lovers there is no one to comfort her.  All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies.

3 After affliction and harsh labor, Judah (America) has gone into exile.  She dwells among the nations; she finds no resting place. All who pursue her have overtaken her in the midst of her distress.

4 The roads to Zion (the churches) mourn, for no one comes to her appointed festivals.  All her gateways are desolate, her priests groan, her young women grieve, and she is in bitter anguish.

5 Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. The Lord has brought her grief because of her many sins. Her children have gone into exile, captive before the foe.

6 All the splendor has departed from Daughter Zion (America). Her princes (leaders) are like deer that find no pasture; in weakness they have fled before the pursuer.

7 In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem (USA) remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fall into enemy hands, there is no one to help her. Her enemies look at her

and laugh at her destruction.

8 Jerusalem (America) has sinned greatly and so has become unclean. All who honored her despise her, for they have all seen her naked; she herself groans and turns away.

9 Her filthiness clung to her skirts; she did not consider her future. Her fall was astounding; there was none to comfort her. “Look, Lord, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed.”

10 The enemy laid hands on all her treasures; she saw godless nations enter her sanctuary— those you had forbidden to enter your assembly.

11 All her people groan as they search for bread; they barter their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. “Look, Lord, and consider, for I am despised.”

12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see. Is any suffering like my suffering that was inflicted on me, that the Lordbrought on me in the day of his fierce anger?

13“From on high he sent fire, sent it down into my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, faint all the day long.

14“My sins have been bound into a yoke; by my hands they were woven together. They have been hung on my neck, and the Lord has sapped my strength. He has given me into the hands of those I cannot withstand.

15 “The Lord has rejected all the warriors in our midst; he has summoned an army against us to crush the young men.  In his winepress the Lord has trampled Virgin Daughter Judah (America).

16 “This is why I weep and my eyes overflow with tears. No one is near to comfort me, no one to restore my spirit. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.”

17 Zion (America) stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The Lord has decreed for Jacob that his neighbors become his foes; Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.

18 “The Lord is righteous, yet we rebelled against his command. Listen, all you peoples; look on our suffering. Our  young men and young women will go into exile.

19“I called to my allies but they betrayed me. My priests and my elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.

20“See, Lord, how distressed I am! I am in torment within, and in my heart I am disturbed, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is only death.

21“People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my distress; they rejoice at what you have done.  May you bring the day you have announced so they may become like me.

22“Let all their wickedness come before you; deal with them as you have dealt with me because of all my sins. My groans are many and my heart is faint.”

I do not listen to Glenn Beck, but I read a transcript of his from yesterday that someone sent me a link to.  There is truth in his words, and words we need to prayerfully consider of ourselves as a nation and people.

 He said:

” If you look at history through a biblical world view, the last step before a nation is completely destroyed is they drive the righteous from among them…..Americans know. And if they reject it this time, and if they’re so dead inside ‑‑ that’s a possibility. If they’re so dead inside that they can no longer see the difference between good and evil, we will be destroyed because we will be a remarkable evil on this planet. – Glenn Beck 11-6-2012

Totally Unhinged – The War Against God, Righteousness & Christians

Totally Unhinged – The War Against God, Righteousness & Christians

I have a curse that is the penchant for noticing patterns, trends, and the zeitgeist blowing through the culture. The spirit behind efforts, movements and populist sentiments that ring out across the land.

Since we fight a spiritual war against Evil in High Places, I tend to notice the spirit of commonality that exists to war upon the values and sacred beliefs we at one time cherished as a people in this nation.

Currently, we are embroiled in a bitter spiritual war that will inevitably lead to a physical one, and that has never become as evident as it has this past weekend as the rhetoric on the web, the hysteria of the rabid Left media goons and the jealous/hating zealots in the blogosphere are on full display.

Such vitriol always ends up leading to violence, whether it be a genocidal slaughter, or a civil war – the spiritual war transcends to the physical plane, and God’s people are once again embroiled in a bloody battle. It would be a mistake to ignore the spirits behind the war against God, Christianity and the call of the nation to repentance. Some of those spirits are clever enough to cloak themselves in garb beyond the blatant and self-evident hate to transform themselves into angels of light and ‘reason’ that deceive the individual to focus on singular aspects of contention, rather than the message, point and purpose of the call to gather a people to beseech them to turn back to God.

While I am not a listener of radio entertainer Glenn Beck, or much care for his ability to generate instant tears on his news program, that he would call America together for the purpose of exhorting us to turn back to God is an effort worthy of the support of anyone who is a Christian, anyone who reveres the bible and/or understands the religious heritage and history from whence we came as a people.

If the question for the nation was “Who stands with the Lord?” – then clearly over 800,000 physically stood for the purpose and exhortation of the event, this past Saturday with hundreds of thousands more online. More than a million-strong having heard or seen part or all of the event. The point and purpose; to turn our nation back to God – and seek repentance for ourselves and the nation.

But then almost immediately, the lines of demarcation in the spiritual war now raging became manifest.

The usual God-hating Marxists and Leftists along with the Ruling Class politicians and pundits did not disappoint in their expected outcry of rage against a rally for America to turn to God. But even they surpassed the usual amount of demonic vitriolic vomit to cross into the sphere of total unhingement.

Former editor Beau Friedlander for Air America and contributor to the Huffington Post put a bounty on the head of Glenn Beck and offered $100,000 for anyone who could provide sex tapes and phone records or any evidence of wrong doing by the talk radio host. Of course he provided that offer after he roundly bashed Christian Americans and Evangelicals – slandering them for being evil “neocons” (a favorite slam from both the Marxist Left and the Ron Paul/Alex Jones bunch). The column itself was so outrageous that even the mega-left leaning HuffPo had to retract the article from it’s site.

MSNBC’s unhinged alchie Chrissy “I gotta thrill up my leg” Matthews ranted abject fury over the rally, exclaiming: ““Who stole America? I want to know, who stole America? Give me the names. Who stole America?” as if Christians seeking God snuck into D.C. under cover of darkness and turned us into a theocracy by putting guns to everyone’s head and telling them to pray to God.

This was the day after he went beserk screaming “Little right-wing boys and little right-wing girls joining hands and singing their praise for Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin. I have a nightmare”. Yes, the nightmare for any Ruling Class hedonist is that a Christian people would dare pray and ask the nation to repent. They and the demons with their Prince who rules the power of the air, and the airwaves – tremble at the thought.

But there is far more out there from the rabid Marxist Left if you wish to do a Google search and read the absolute foam-at-the-mouth vitriol against everyone who went to that rally this Saturday.

The hatred of Christians and those who call us to return to God, is rising to an institutionalized level that I only experienced in India from the Muslims and Hindus – two opposite extremes of faith with a common enemy; Christians. Yet this is supposedly America, but it certainly feels less and less like it each passing day.

And when you read all the hatred, ranting and outright insanity and fear the Ruling Class and their Marxist sycophants have for Christians – you suddenly find yourself reading strikingly similar hatred, ranting and outright insanity from so-called Conservatives on the Right. Even moreso in some cases.

In solidarity with the Secular Christian-hating Leftists, many self-described Christian “patriots” also went beserk with as much vomitous vitriol as their Ruling Class media counterparts. They decided they would not stand with the Lord if it entailed standing with a man whose politics and doctrinal positions they did not agree with. Instead they decried those who organized the rally as being in league with the Devil, and those who went with being deceived and blinded sheep.

So they undertook the same efforts as those on the Secular and Marxist Left – and ardently warned America to stay away from; to ridicule; demean; smear; and even boldly attack Beck’s denominational faith. To plead with America that Beck’s call and assembly was not to be followed, listened to or acknowledged, even if his call was for the nation to repent and turn back to God.

Within hours, jealous competitors decided to join with the Secular Left and wage their own efforts to ‘expose’ the man responsible for calling America together before God. I mean, “How dare he!” as one blog poster in a fit of rage let fly. I could almost feel the palpable rage that must have existed in those that tore huge chunks of flesh with their teeth from the Apostle Stephen as they foamed in rage at those who had a following not approved by those who made themselves arbiters of what is holy and patriotic.

One such example is Conspiratorial crackpot and Anti-semitc nutcase Alex Jones, who in a fit of jealous rage that Beck could call nearly a million Americans to come together and pray to God – announced all his current conspiracy film projects were going to be halted so he could work on his Bash Beck film : “The Glenn Beck Deception”.

Yes, all of you 800,000 who were there on Saturday – you are “deceived” by “evil neocons” into praying to God and calling the nation to repentance.

There’s Youtube video of that rant if you care to hunt for it yourself.

Then there’s acolyte of the Leftist/Alex Jones meme, James Howard Kuntsler, who went so far to include F-bombs and other insulting vomit of those of you “disoriented citizens’ who attended the rally on Saturday:

Quote:

Originally Posted by James Howard Kuntsler Eighty-seven thousand disoriented citizens lined the DC Mall reflecting pool and adjoining lawns to witness Beck overstep his role as a television clown and don the mantle of an evangelist-savior battling the dark forces. Naturally, Beck invoked prayer against this prospect, which is what people resort to when they don’t understand what is happening to them. …The masses still truly believe that prayer will save them from bankruptcy, foreclosure, penury, the loss of status, and the cut-off of precious air-conditioning, so Glenn steps onto a national monument like an Aztec priest ascending the Pyramid of Huitzilopochtli to soothe the angry god with worshipful incantations, and incidentally maybe a few dozen sacrificial hearts cut out — just as the tea-bagger right-wing glorifies the sacrifices of US soldiers blown up by roadside bombs for the sake of American military adventuring

No I’m not providing a link to that spew – what I posted is all I will subject you fine folks to reading.

But back to the curse I mentioned in the first sentence of this rant. In this spiritual war for the soul of the nation and it’s near-term future – the spirit prompting those bashing Beck and Christians at that rally, whether they be from the Ruling Class Left – or the Alex Jones/Right – is the same spirit – who hates beyond reason and logic that anyone be exhorted to return to God, to seek Repentance and to turn from our wicked ways as II Chronicles 7:14 tells us.

Make no mistake, this is a spiritual war. And history always shows, that those engaged in attacking the faith and spiritual constitution of a segment of the population – will transcend the arena of rhetoric and rant, and rend that pound of flesh from our bones with teeth and steel.

Such is how Satan the Devil works.

The Land of the Free and the Home of the Fallen

The lamentation in John’s essay today – is a lamentation not lost on the rest of the world either.  Even France’s President now fears for the West, given he sees Obama as having surrendered and abandoned liberty and common sense for the pursuit of the same dictatorial tyranny that plague the rest of the third world.

 

The Land of the Free and the Home of the Fallen 

By John Galt

September 29, 2009

As I was driving over to one of the other craters in the Florida real estate landscape, the East Coast, I was able to listen to the Glenn Beck show and reflect upon the news he was almost aghast to read and reveal as he chattered in his usual manner. The story that was emblazoned upon the front page of Drudge when I was awake some sixteen hours ago about the honor student being brutally murdered in Chicago by thugs, the story of the next group of school children singing praise to Obama, and the story of the mock prayer to Obama gave me a chilling feeling. This feeling was one that our nation had taken a significant turn, one that we may not recover from.

The week was spent listening, reflecting, praying and hoping that the path our nation has chosen is reversible, that the groups who claim that political change will reverse the course is still possible. Alas, I must respectfully disagree with my friends in pursuit of freedom. This is not an entry about the movements, the politicians, or our future. The week was used to reflect on the past, to determine where the future may lead for myself and our nation in my opinion. I do not wish to bore my readers with the personal concerns, this is the time to reflect on the nation and the danger we are now in.

The American people have had it pretty good for the past twenty-five years. We restored our nation’s honor. We defeated the Soviet Union under the leadership of a true patriot, Ronald Reagan. America absorbed major body blows in 1987, 1990-91, 1997 and 2001 via economic conflagrations which would have destroyed a weaker nation yet we did not learn from those experiences and in fact magnified the mistakes by layering greater and greater leverage on to an economy in desperate need of a reset. The moral errors of the period have also been ignored. We honor criminals like O.J. Simpson with 24/7 car chases, glorifying rioters in thugs in Los Angeles, and paying homage to criminals by begging for leniency or pardoning them for their horrific actions. The worst aspects of our path over this period is a duplication of almost maddening proportions as America elected to expand on the vulgarities of Caligula by normalizing the obscene and denigrating the norm. All the while we witnessed and heaped scorn on the “traditionalist” religious points of view and origins of our nation. We wished to modify the religious texts of our history instead of honoring them while changing our history to accommodate the perversions of our modern era. If we did not like the end result we deleted the information on our heroes or made their negative character traits the primary exhibits of their accomplishments, denying the proper honor for the sacrifices so many have made.

There are some who will proclaim my opinion as that of a rabid Obama hater. The ignorant who have not read my entire body of work nor elected to actually read the details and ponder every word usually attack without thinking. This is beyond Obama. This is something that started as not so innocent experiment to guarantee greed and avarice and has since turned into a vile attempt to corrupt a nation via financial and moral bankruptcy to enslave its citizens for decades to come. What we have witnessed with the praise and preaching to our President and attack of an innocent child in Chicago is the culmination of what we swore we would never become and never feared as it could never happen here.

It has happened.

We have fallen.

Pray for forgiveness.
