Wake up people this isn’t a
game
This time there will be
nowhere to run
And
nowhere to hide
In the 1930’s when Hitler was ramping up his
war machine, the Jewish parents that could “read the writing on the wall” did
whatever was necessary to at least get their children, if not the whole family
out of Europe, unfortunately, this time, there is nowhere safe to go.
There is a stench emanating out of Washington
D.C. that has permeated the United States of America, and this odiferous
attitude has been fostered throughout the world by the different media formats;
greed is good; eat, drink and take advantage of others, no matter the
consequences; it appears to be a “we are special and you should bow down to us”
attitude. Sadly it looks like we have gotten way to big for our britches and
just as we don’t appreciate a spoiled, bratty kid in a restaurant; most of the
rest of the world really doesn’t care for our whining and bulling ways.
I can already imagine the responses, who
gives a rip, what are they (the rest of the world) going to do about it.
Well if the past is any indicator of what the
future holds…the destruction of the United States could lie in the balance and
unlike the 1930’s and 40’s this time there is nowhere to hide.
The Founding Fathers of this nation read,
studied and understood the Bible and that without the help and blessing of God
they would not have made it.
We have done well as a nation making it over
200 years but history is replete with instances where “societies” have thumbed
their noses at God and suffered the consequences. Here in the United States we
went from a just nation that openly worshiped God and his Son, Jesus, to a
nation that tiptoes around issues of Jesus and God so that we don’t insult the
people who refuse to acknowledge that God had a Son who crushed Satan so that
we might be free.
Israel,
Gods’ chosen people has been besieged with war and plundered numerous times
since its inception according to the Bible, to the point of utter destruction
in 70 AD, for what I believe to have been the rejection of the Son of God, the
sacrifice that he made for the people and the wonton slaughter of Christ’s
followers, until its rebirth 1878 years later in 1948.
When one plays the part of a bully, brat or
witch in the sandbox eventually nobody wants to play with you and that appears
to be what is happening here to the United States. We have lived the high life
with very little thoughts for anyone else’s well being. We have collectively as
a nation thumbed our nose at God and his Son rejecting the blessing that had
been bestowed on U.S. much as the Jewish people have done over the years to
their own detriment.
There used to be a time not so long ago that
we were known as a Christian nation now we are viewed with suspicion, distrust;
so what happens next?
Is it possible for the United States to be
utterly destroyed as Israel was? The Bible informs us not to take on debt: our funded
obligations exceed $9.4 trillion, our unfunded obligations exceed $48 trillion;
that seems self-destructive to me.
The Bible informs us to provide justice, not
pervert justice; all the laws necessary to run (not rule) the world are listed
in the Bible in less then 15 pages. With over 30 million laws on the books (how
many are for special interest groups) there is no justice, just perversion of
justice; seems self-destructive to me.
The U.S. government has American Soldiers,
Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coasties in over 60 countries throughout the world
could it be that in our self-righteous zeal we are guilty of enormous amounts of
collateral damage (we are not always right). Are we oppressing others by meddling in stuff
that is other peoples business at a cost of tens-of-thousands of lives,
billions of dollars, and destruction on a scale that is hard to imagine, it
seems that we are guilty of being hypocrites, busybodies.
We have let corporations take control of the
food supply system. Corporations seems to have only one function in life and
that is to make money for their shareholders, at any cost. They do not care
about the people (people are an actuarial problem), only money. Could our bee
die-off be collateral damage from the manufacturing of insect resistant fertilizers,
last time I checked bees were considered insects also. Is it possible nobody
bothered to think this one through; if that is the case this is very
self-destructive, and the only group that will profit from the hunger of others
will be the corporations.
If the people of this nation don’t wake up
and change our ways fast we have a disaster of unmitigated proportions headed
our way. This country has been protected over the years by the Second Covenant
which is explained in the New Testament of the Bible, but this nation has been
led astray, and the consequences of rejection are sure to follow.
ACTS 13:26 "Brothers,
children of Abraham, and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this
message of salvation has been sent. The people of Jerusalem and
their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the
words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. Though they
found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him
executed. When they had carried out all that was written about
him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb. But
God raised him from the dead, and for many days he was seen by
those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his
witnesses to our people.
"We tell you the
good news: What God promised our fathers he has fulfilled for us,
their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm:
" `You are my Son; today I
have become your Father. 'The fact that God raised him from the dead, never to
decay, is stated in these words:
" `I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.'
So it is stated elsewhere:
" `You will not let your Holy One see decay.'
"For when David
had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried
with his fathers and his body decayed. But the one whom God
raised from the dead did not see decay.
"Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know
that
through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to
you. Through him everyone who believes is justified from
everything you could not be
justified from by the law of Moses. Take care that what the
prophets have said does not happen to you:
`Look, you scoffers,
wonder and perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you
would never believe, even if someone told you.' "
As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the
people invited them to speak further about these things on the next
Sabbath. When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and
devout converts to
Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them
to
continue in the grace of God.
On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered
to hear the word of the Lord. When the Jews saw the crowds, they
were filled with jealousy and talked abusively against what Paul was saying.
Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We
had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not
consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.
For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
" `I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of
the earth.' "
When the Gentiles heard
this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were
appointed for eternal life believed.
Just
as God punished the Jewish people for thumbing their noses at him, God will
have no choice but to punish the United States because of the actions of the
people of this nation. He is a just God, if one group struck the agreement and
suffered the consequences of rejecting Him any other group in the future
agreeing to a covenant will also have to suffer the consequences of their
actions.
First Covenant (contract) was with the Jewish
people during the time of Moses and they failed miserably numerous times.
Part one is what happened when the Jewish
people rejected or forgot the Covenant or contract they made with God.
Part two is what the Jewish people were
supposed to fulfill for their half of the Covenant, it was approximately 600
laws and rules (not all of them are listed here, a complete listing is in Exodus,
Leviticus and Deuteronomy).
The Founding Fathers staked their lives on
the word and promises of God and the second Covenant because the first Covenant
was superseded when the second one was sealed by Jesus.
Just as
with the first Covenant, when Christ who sealed the Second Covenant is
rejected, bad thing happen.
Part 1
This is what happened to the
Jewish people for rejecting their covenant with God
Hopefully World War II will be the last time this ever happens
`But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands, and
if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out all my
commands and so violate my covenant, then I will do this to you: I will bring upon you sudden
terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and drain away
your life. You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it. I
will set my face against you so that you will be defeated by your enemies;
those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even when no one is
pursuing you.
`If after all this you will not listen to me,
I will punish you for your sins seven times over. I will break down your
stubborn pride and make the sky above you like iron and the ground beneath you
like bronze. Your strength will be spent in vain, because your soil will not
yield its crops, nor will the trees of the land yield their fruit.
`If you remain hostile toward me and refuse
to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over, as your
sins deserve. I will send wild animals against you, and they will rob you of
your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few in number that your
roads will be deserted.
`If in spite of these things you do not
accept my correction but continue to be hostile toward me, I myself will be
hostile toward you and will afflict you for your sins seven times over. And I
will bring the sword upon you to avenge the breaking of the covenant
.
When you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you
will be given into enemy hands. When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women
will be able to bake your bread in one oven, and they will dole out the bread
by weight. You will eat, but you will not be satisfied.
`If in spite of this you still do not listen
to me but continue to be hostile toward me, then in my anger I will be hostile
toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. You
will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters. I will destroy
your high places, cut down your incense altars and pile your dead bodies on the
lifeless forms of your idols, and I will abhor you. I will turn your cities
into ruins and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will take no delight in the
pleasing aroma of your offerings. I will lay waste the land, so that your
enemies who live there will be appalled. I will scatter you among the nations
and will draw out my sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your
cities will lie in ruins. Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the
time that it lies desolate and you are in the country of your enemies; then the
land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. All the time that it lies desolate, the
land will have the rest it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it.
`As for those of you who are left, I will
make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a
windblown leaf will put them to flight. They will run as though fleeing from
the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them. They will
stumble over one another as though fleeing from the sword, even though no one
is pursuing them. So you will not be able to stand before your enemies. You
will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you. Those
of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of
their sins; also because of their fathers' sins they will waste away.
`But if they will confess their sins and the
sins of their fathers--their treachery against me and their hostility toward
me, which made me hostile toward them so that I sent them into the land of
their enemies--then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they pay
for their sin, I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with
Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land. For the land
will be deserted by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate
without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected my laws and
abhorred my decrees. Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their
enemies, I will not reject them or abhor them so as to destroy them completely,
breaking my covenant with them. I am the LORD their God. But for their sake I
will remember the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt in
the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the LORD.' "
Part 2
This was the first agreement
that was broken
Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain
and said, "This is what you are to say to the house of Jacob and what you
are to tell the people of Israel: `You yourselves have seen what I did to
Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now if
you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured
possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of
priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the
Israelites."
"You
shall have no other gods before me.
"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in
heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow
down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God,
punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth
generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of
those who love me and keep my commandments.
"You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD
will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall
labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your
God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter,
nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your
gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and
all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD
blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in
the land the LORD your God is giving you.
"You shall not murder.
"You shall not commit adultery.
"You shall not steal.
"You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
"You shall not covet your neighbor's
house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or
maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
"Do
not spread false reports. Do not help a wicked man by being a malicious
witness.
"Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in
a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd, 3 and do
not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
"If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, be
sure to take it back to him. If you see the donkey of someone who hates you
fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help him with
it.
"Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits. Have
nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person
to death, for I will not acquit the guilty.
"Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists
the words of the righteous.
"Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be
aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt.
"For six years you are to sow your fields and harvest the crops,
but during the seventh year let the land lie unplowed and unused. Then the poor
among your people may get food from it, and the wild animals may eat what they
leave. Do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.
"Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that
your ox and your donkey may rest and the slave born in your household, and the
alien as well, may be refreshed.
"Be careful to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the
names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your lips.
These are just some of the Laws and Rules
that the people agreed to in the First Covenant, to attempt to get a grip as to
what is happening one must turn off the idiot box and read the Bible or you
will never understand.

Have we become a
nation of fools?
We are in
trouble and until this mess is acknowledged
It is only going
to get worse
for
As a
dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.
Although Isaiah was speaking this warning to
the Jewish people over 2500 years ago it is easy to see where history is
repeating itself. This time it will probably be the Christians and Jews who
will suffer for giving lip-sevice to God. While reading the following change
the word Judah to USA and Jerusalem with Washington D.C.
ISA 3:1 See now, the Lord, the
LORD Almighty, is about to take from Jerusalem (Washington D.C.) and Judah (the
USA) both supply and support: all supplies of food and all supplies of water,
the hero and warrior, the judge and prophet, the soothsayer and elder, the
captain of fifty and man of rank, the counselor, skilled craftsman and clever
enchanter.
I will make boys their
officials; mere children will govern them. (Street Gangs?)
People will oppress each
other-- man against man, neighbor against neighbor. The young will rise up
against the old, the base against the honorable. (30 million laws and counting,
that’s some serious oppression)
A man will seize one of
his brothers at his father's home, and say, "You have a cloak, you be our
leader; take charge of this heap of ruins!"
But in that day he will
cry out, "I have no remedy. I have no food or clothing in my house; do not
make me the leader of the people."
Jerusalem (Washington
D.C.) staggers, Judah (the USA) is falling; their words and deeds are against
the LORD, defying his glorious presence. (We the USA export a lot of sick attitudes
through MTV)
The look on their faces
testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom (from Broadway to
Hollywood); they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon
themselves.
Tell the righteous it
will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds. Woe to
the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands
have done.
Youths oppress my people,
women rule over them. O my people, your guides lead you astray; they turn you
from the path.
The LORD takes his place
in court; he rises to judge the people. The LORD enters into judgment against
the elders and leaders of his people: "It is you who have ruined my
vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses. What do you mean by
crushing my people and grinding the faces of the poor?" (Hello, could this
be the greed of Wall Street, Lobbyists and smooth talking lawyers?) declares
the Lord, the LORD Almighty.
The LORD says,
"The women of Zion (America) are
haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes,
tripping along with mincing steps, with ornaments jingling on their ankles.
Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the LORD
will make their scalps bald."
In that day the Lord
will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent
necklaces, the earrings and bracelets and veils, the
headdresses and ankle chains and sashes, the perfume bottles and
charms, the signet rings and nose rings, the fine robes and
the capes and
cloaks, the purses and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras
and shawls.
Instead of fragrance
there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-dressed
hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty,
branding (tattooing anyone?).
Your men will fall by the
sword, your warriors in battle. The gates of Zion (America) will lament and
mourn; destitute ($10 trillion+, 10,450,000,000,000 in debt and rising), she
will sit on the ground.
Have we become a
nation of fools? Most of the following come from Proverbs.
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing
into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and
clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into
temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and
destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people,
eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many
griefs.
The
wise woman builds her house, but with her own
hands the foolish one tears hers down.
A
quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; restraining her is
like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.
Some
became fools through their rebellious ways and
suffered affliction because of their iniquities.
The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools
despise wisdom and discipline.
"How
long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight
in mockery and fools hate knowledge?
For
the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
The
wise inherit honor, but fools he holds up to
shame.
You
who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish,
gain understanding.
The
proverbs of Solomon:
A
wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish
son grief to his mother. (How many children don’t have a clue as to who their
father is?)
The
wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool
comes to ruin.
He
who winks maliciously causes grief, and a chattering fool
comes to ruin.
Wise
men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool
invites ruin.
He
who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.
The
lips of the righteous nourish many, but fools
die for lack of judgment.
A
fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man
of understanding delights in wisdom.
He
who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise.
The
way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man
listens to advice.
A
fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent
man overlooks an insult.
A
prudent man keeps his knowledge to himself, but the heart of fools blurts out folly.
Every
prudent man acts out of knowledge, but a fool
exposes his folly.
A
longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools
detest turning from evil.
He
who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools
suffers harm.
The
wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.
A
fool's talk brings a rod to his back, but the
lips of the wise protect them.
Stay
away from a foolish man, for you will not find
knowledge on his lips.
The
wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.
Fools
mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright.
A
wise man fears the LORD and shuns evil, but a fool
is hotheaded and reckless.
A
quick-tempered man does foolish things, and a
crafty man is hated.
The
simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
The wealth of the wise is their
crown, but the folly of fools yields folly.
Wisdom reposes in the heart of
the discerning and even among fools she lets herself be known.
A fool spurns his father's discipline, but whoever heeds
correction shows prudence. (With all these single women head of households:
Who’s your daddy?)
The lips of the wise spread
knowledge; not so the hearts of fools.
The discerning heart seeks
knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly.
A wise son brings joy to his
father, but a foolish
man despises his mother.
Understanding is a fountain of
life to those who have it, but folly brings punishment to fools.
Arrogant lips are unsuited to a fool--how much worse lying
lips to a ruler!
A rebuke impresses a man of
discernment more than a hundred lashes a fool.
Better to meet a bear robbed of
her cubs than a fool
in his folly.
Of what use is money in the hand
of a fool, since he
has no desire to get wisdom?
To have a fool for a son brings grief; there is no
joy for the father of a fool. (How many men have foolish sons and don’t even know it
because they don’t know they have children?)
A discerning man keeps wisdom in
view, but a fool's
eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
A foolish son brings grief to his father and bitterness to the one
who bore him.
Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he
holds his tongue.
A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing
his own opinions.
A fool's lips bring him strife, and his mouth invites a beating.
A fool's
mouth is his undoing, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
Better a poor man whose walk is
blameless than a fool
whose lips are perverse.
It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury--how
much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
A foolish son is his father's ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a
constant dripping.
Penalties are prepared for
mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
It is to a man's honor to avoid
strife, but every fool
is quick to quarrel.
In the house of the wise are
stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.
Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the
wisdom of your words.
Wisdom is too high for a fool; in the assembly at the
gate he has nothing to say.
Like snow in summer or rain in
harvest, honor is not fitting for a fool.
A whip for the horse, a halter
for the donkey, and a rod for the backs of fools!
Do not answer a fool
according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself.
Answer a fool
according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.
Like cutting off
one's feet or drinking violence is the sending of a message by the hand of a fool.
Like a lame man's legs
that hang limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
Like tying a stone in
a sling is the giving of honor to a fool.
Like a thornbush in a
drunkard's hand is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.
Like an archer who
wounds at random is he who hires a fool or
any passer-by.
As a dog returns to its vomit, so
a fool repeats his
folly.
Do you see a man wise
in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool
than for him.
Stone is heavy and sand a burden,
but provocation by a fool is heavier than both.
Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding
him like grain with a pestle, you will not remove his folly from him.
He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in
wisdom is kept safe.
He who gives to the
poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many
curses.
If a wise man goes to court with
a fool, the fool rages and scoffs, and
there is no peace.
A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself
under control.
Do you see a man who speaks in
haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
"Under three things the
earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up: a servant who becomes king, a fool who is full of food, an
unloved woman who is married, and a maidservant who displaces her mistress.
"If you have played the fool and exalted yourself,
or if you have planned evil, clap your hand over your mouth! For as churning
the milk produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring
up anger produces strife."
Discipline
your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.
Discipline your son, and he will
give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul.
Unfortunately there is a large number
of undisciplined sons, daughters and adults playing the part of a fool.
