Once upon Time, God created a Universe.

The Creator of this universe chose a small Galaxy, and within this Galaxy, He chose a relatively minor star and made it the Sun of a Solar System. In this Solar System He created an incredibly special, wonderful planet to be the crown jewel in His universe.

On this remarkable planet He created mountains, a sky, an atmosphere, clouds, seas, and rivers. He then formed LIFE, and with it an amazing, life-sustaining ecosystem, with forests, jungles, single-celled plants and animals, insects, lizards, fish, birds and mammals.

Finally, to manage this spectacular planet, He created Man in His own Image. He loved Man, and gave him the ability to grow, learn, to invent, and to choose. He blessed man with a woman so that Man would not be alone, so that they could work together to manage the planet and particularly its species of animals and plants.

All humans descended from this couple, and have had the ability to make their own choices along the way. They would choose how to satisfy themselves from things that God has provided for our pleasure. And God saw that it was good. But when they choose that which He has forbidden, He warns us to stop.

Nations such as ancient Israel and Judah are examples to us of how God will deal with a nation which is richly blessed by God and committed to Him, and then turns radically against Him. God warned multiple times that because of their rebellion, Israel and Judah would be destroyed by "the sword, famine, and pestilence". History proves that this was indeed the case.

America was also richly blessed by God.

Our nation was unquestionably founded by Christian men seeking freedom of worship. America was the catalyst for the most explosive growth of inventions, academia, economic blessings, and the spread of the Christian Gospel to not only her own citizens but worldwide, many times greater in its first two hundred years, than in the previous six thousand years of recorded history.

Yet the 1960's saw the beginning of a complete moral turnaround. Rather than choosing those things which God had freely provided for our enjoyment and pleasure, an undercurrent became a swelling tide calling itself "freedom" which was actually "disobedience". Now, America in 2021 finds itself in much the same place as ancient Israel. Fifty years later it has now become overt hatred of everything Christian, often by those proclaiming to be "tolerant". Rather than be grateful for the rich blessings that God has bestowed upon the USA and the entire world, mankind now often uses the middle finger and shouts blasphemies in His direction, hoping that by doing so they might "prove" His non-existence.

- 1962 Engel v. Vitale - Supreme Court removed prayer from public schools
- 1973 Roe v. Wade - Supreme Court legalized abortion
- 2003 Lawrence v. Texas - Supreme Court legalized gay sex
- 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges - Supreme Court legalized gay marriage

We see a steady progression of American education, government, life, culture, away from God and His clearly stated laws. The direction is away from clean living and Christian values, and toward sensual, selfish, evil, and anti-Christian living. God's judgment is coming for America, just like it did for ancient Israel and Judah, unless there is repentance. There has already been the sword (9/11) and pestilence (COVID). There will be more of each, as well as famine, unless there is sincere repentance and widespread revival.

“In your filthiness is lewdness.
Because I would have cleansed you,
Yet you are not clean,
You will not be cleansed from your filthiness again
Until I have spent My wrath on you.
I, the Lord, have spoken; it is coming and I will act.
I will not relent, and I will not pity and I will not be sorry;
According to your ways and according to your deeds I will judge you,”
Declares the Lord God.
-- Ezekiel 24:13-14 (NASB)

What is the answer? It is up to individuals to REPENT! This means to individually turn 180 degrees away from sinful practices and lifestyles, and to personally and humbly apologize and ask His forgiveness. Jesus gave His life "that the world might be saved", so there's enough for you too!

Don't wait, do it NOW. He's listening.
