America's death warrant signed

Like it or not, the United States got its Christmas present from Washington's political elites.

What was it?

Betrayal, packaged in the report by the Iraq Study Group.

They should have wrapped it black paper and tied it with a noose.

Instead it was presented to the president, Congress, the media, the public and indeed, the world, in written form that tried to put a good face on a betrayal of our military and the other nations who fought with us in Iraq. But it's also a betrayal of our country and what it stands for, to say nothing of being a blatant slap in the face

WSB,

I agree with you. The Lord has been showing me the same thing for the past two years and I've read many others' writings who also say the same thing and who confirm what God has been saying to me. The only thing I might differ about is that I don't think we can do anything at this point to keep the judgment of God from coming. I believe it has been firmly decided by God, that it will happen, and the only thing repentance will do at this point is keep people from going to hell and/or perhaps spare their lives. I do believe the judgment, nonetheless, will produce repentance, but oh, what a high cost we will pay because we, as a nation, did not heed the warnings of God.

Baker has always been an anti-semite. I hope his report is ignored.

Leonard,

There seems to be a lot of sentiment going around that Bush is going to cave in and yield to this report, because he has backed himself into a corner with no way out. What other alternatives do you think he has that he has yet to pull out of his hat? I hope the report is ignored, too, but I've not heard anyone expressing any other good ideas. Have you? I mean that sincerely, not sarcastically. If you have read any articles stating other good options, I would love to read them.

What about the millions of God fearing American Christians who are obiedient in their walk with God, not to mention those who are great supporters of Israel? Shall these be given devine punishment well? What a wonderful reward.

Dan,

What about all the people in the world who do not know Jesus because they are being fed lies every day that either he does not exist or they do not have to repent of their sin to go to heaven or that we, as humans, are quite capable of making it on our own? What about all those who have turned their backs on God and/or have just fallen asleep spiritually? What about those who have gotten caught up in the things of this world and so have forsaken their first love? What about all the people of the world who are still in bondage to sin?

God wants them back! He wants them to follow him! Time is short, and they are not getting the message, because there are too many other voices out there telling them differently. God is a jealous God. He longs to have his children come under his wings of protection, and I do believe he will protect those who are hiding in the shelter of the Almighty. But, he must shake this world of ours to get our attention so that we will realize HE alone is God and is worthy of our praise! He must shake this world so that we will turn from our sin and turn to God in repentance and faith.

God is a loving God, slow to anger, abounding in love, mercy and compassion, and he longs to have compassion on his children if they will just turn to him. But, he is also a God of justice, and he is like a loving parent, too. What loving parent would allow his child to continue to do bad things, knowing the end result? The Bible says that the Lord disciplines and punishes those who are HIS so that we might learn obedience and so that we might be more like him. We, in America especially, need a massive dose of God's discipline in order to turn our hearts back towards him.

I always thought good would not destroy you if you were faithful to him.

Actually, Dan, it is a wonderful reward to be a part of the remnant people of God who will be left here to evangelize the world in these last days, because I truly believe that is what is going to take place. I don't want to see bad things happen, but when I weigh that against what I see going on, not only in the world, but also in the Church and in Israel, I realize that God must bring this judgment. It is necessary in order to turn hearts back to Him! It is necessary to revive the Church and for the salvation of Israel. It has been promised in the scriptures a long time ago, and I believe now we are going to see that fulfillment of prophecy in our time.

I always thought good would not destroy you if you were faithful to him.

Daan

That is true that those of us who are faithful to him will not be destroyed, meaning we will not go to hell. Nonetheless, the Bible is filled with promises of suffering, persecution, divine discipline of God, etc. Look at Job as an example. He was faithful to God and look what happened to him. Or, look at Joseph who was sold into slavery because he shared his dreams with his brothers. God is not going to destroy those who are faithful to him. But, he will render divine discipline when necessary in order to get us back on the right path. He will destroy the wicked, though.
