Psalm 81:8-16 contains the answer to all of the "whys" concerning what has happened through history to the Jewish people and the nation of Israel, and what has happened and is happening to the USA!
8 Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you—O Israel, if you would listen to Me! 9 There shall no strange god be among you, neither shall you worship any alien god. 10 I am the Lord your God, Who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it. 11 But My people would not hearken to My voice, and Israel would have none of Me. 12 So I gave them up to their own hearts’ lust and let them go after their own stubborn will, that they might follow their own counsels. 13 Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! 14 Speedily then I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their adversaries. 15 [Had Israel listened to Me in Egypt, then] those who hated the Lord would have come cringing before Him, and their defeat would have lasted forever. 16 [God] would feed [Israel now] also with the finest of the wheat; and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy you.
Throughout all of the Old Testament we see how God blessed Israel when they followed HIM and how bad things would get for them when THEY turned away from HIM! The Holocaust was one of the most tragic things to happen during WWII, but the accounts of those who escaped BEFORE this happened shows that many had a chance to escape, but they refused to believe in the evil nature of human beings without God! In the United States, we have been warned for many years of the attempt by an evil minority to completely eliminate the mention of the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible from every aspect of our public lives. Believers were so complacent that they thought it could NEVER happen! Many did nothing! Many believers paid no attention whatsoever! They didn't pray, stay informed or even vote! The results are what we have happening now! Look at Psalm 33:12 and Psalm 144:15:
12 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His heritage. AMP
15 Happy and blessed are the people who are in such a case; yes, happy (blessed, fortunate, prosperous, to be envied) are the people whose God is the Lord! AMP
Anyone who has ever studied the actual history of this nation, through the ACTUAL writings of the founding fathers, knows without doubt that this nation was founded by Godly men and based on solid, Biblical principles! Not only were the founders NOT atheists, agnostics or deists, MOST of them were Christians and wanted the Bible to be the basis for all decisions and prayer to cover every event! The good news for us right now is that HE has raised up a people in the nation today, as well as others the world over, who are standing resolutely on the Word of God and in prayer that this nation will NOT go under! God is NOT finished with the USA yet! Revival is sweeping this nation leading up to the catching away of the church, soon and very soon! Don't be caught unawares and doing nothing! HE is looking for faith on the earth when He comes for us. HE is looking for faith and ACTION from you! Find out what God wants done, and then DO it! The glory of the Lord is over this nation and we want to be right in the middle of what He is doing! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "Go":
Shalom in Him!
