A Boiling Pot

2/6/2008

 
And the word of the Lord came unto me (Jeremiah)
the second time, saying, What seest though?
and I said, I see a seething pot... 
Jeremiah 1:13


Jeremiah has been referred to as the prophet of the "midnight hour" because He heard the words of the Lord and tried his best to warn the people that catastrophe was ahead. No one but a small remnant heeded his warnings, however...
And I am no Jeremiah, nor am I a prophet. But I do see a boiling pot moving across the land. There's a seething cauldron of hate, anger and frustration brewing deep within the hearts of men. And this means that all is not well for the United States of America. We are at the cusp of something evil and frightening because the hearts of many have grown cold. Hearts have become calloused.

Yet this is not a message of "doom and gloom." Rather it is a message of hope because I believe it is not too late to turn back the coming destruction and to call upon the Lord Himself, the King of the Nations, and to ask for His help to run this nation.

Too many of us are self-deceived. We're too proud. We think things will get better for America. But deep within our hearts we know something isn't right. Calamity is ahead. The foundations of our nation, everything from finance to government, is eroding. And one day, I can see this coming, not even our silver or gold, nor the institutions we have put our trust in, shall be able to save us. As these will prove to be nothing but dead idols, false gods. Even now they are nothing but teetering walls destined to topple. They will crash with an enormous fall.

I'm afraid that we have placed our hope and trust in the wrong gods. In the end these will show themselves to be worthless. Even the freedoms we now enjoy will be gone. They will be lost by default. It will be the foreclosure of the United States, a weakened Republic destroyed by sin, greed and selfishness.

May God have mercy. None of this has to happen. But it will. Few listened to Israel's Jeremiah; no one will listen to me.

D.B.
