America the Titanic

post 060

It has come to my attention that although I have been declaring a general idea, I have left room for the reader to miss the intensity of what is said.
This then is my clarification:

In a sleepy state it is easy to ignore a warning, assuming that if you leave it alone, things will work themselves out.
In watching Glenn Beck, I see the same trend I have used, and that is to try to give people motivation to change. So we offer hope that the problem can be changed, we still have time for it to be fixed.
This is a weak hope at best.

America is already doomed.
We have already offended God enough.
God has already determined the destruction of America as we know it.
That destruction has already begun.

Ridiculous! you say, America is too big to sink.

So was the Titanic.

What we have now, is not a time to hope it might get better.
What we do have, is a last ditch opportunity to appeal to God and throw ourselves at his feet for mercy.
There are several examples in the scriptures that an appeal was able to change God’s intent for destruction, but frankly, I don’t see America making that appeal.
Where are the all night vigils of fasting and praying?
Where are the hoards of praying Christians encircling the Whitehouse, or Congress, or even their local seats of Government?
Where are the signs that America is appealing to God for his mercy?
Do Christians actually believe that God can help us?
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14

Sure, Americans are getting involved again.
And saying; “We have had enough!”
But it is too late for that.
We should have done that 30 years ago.

After the Titanic struck the ice was not the time to cry; “We are going too fast into the dark!” Afterwards is only a time to cry out to God for personal mercy, in a desperate effort to save ones life! The ship was already lost, though still under their feet.
America has already struck the ice.
The unrecoverable damage is done.
We now owe more than our nation is worth... several times over.

Our national birthrate is now below sustainable.

Frankly, America will sink. That is assured.
And like the Titanic, we have not prepared enough lifeboats for most the people.
Our national officers are the first ones into the few lifeboats they kept for themselves, and the billions they have paid themselves with our money will float them out of the initial sinking for a time.
The media band is playing soothing music on the deck, and most the passengers on this once great ship called America cannot comprehend the horror soon to come.
There is no way to stop it now.

Just as the people on the Titanic had their fine cabins, possessions and comforts, you have your cars and boats, and fine furnishings in your nice homes.
They could not imagine such glories would soon be lost under the waves of the sea of horror, so you too simply cannot imagine loosing all you have.
"The Titanic cannot be sunk!" was their confident declaration.
But America has already struck the ice.
A new president at this point will not fix that.
The captain we now have, has looted the vault and distributed it among the officers who are quickly making their way to the lifeboats while we wander around the decks in a daze, still wondering what has actually happened.
Panic has not yet set in because few even know the size of the hole which has already been created. From the upper decks hardly a shudder was felt.
But panic will come, and soon.

Is that clear enough?

If you can wake up a little to see the reality, it may just terrorize you enough to fall on your knees and truly BEG GOD FOR FORGIVENESS!
Only he can help you now.
But how do I honestly think God is our answer?

He won’t turn back time.
He won’t miraculously fill our coffers with money.
He won’t suddenly provide new jobs for millions.
He won’t bring back the millions of aborted babies.
He won’t suddenly dry up our drunks,
or remove the addictions of our youths.
he won’t cure our lust for porn,
or evaporate the hate from the hearts of our children.
He won’t magically make parents love each other again.
God does not work like that.
We are the ones who have sunk our own ship by foolishly driving full steam into the darkness where he said not to go.

But what our founders believed God does do, is un-noticeably, yet steadily guide our path WHEN we walk with him.
Only then will He cause us to “choose” the correct corridor, where we will “luckily” find a rare life vest, and “lead” us out a hidden “unlocked” gate to “find” our way to a “strangely” vacant seat in the last lifeboat. And sitting safe in the boat we can ask; “Where was God in all that?”
That is how God works.

“Blessed is the man who walks not after the council of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful…” Psalm 1:1
“… Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.(God)” Psalm 2:12
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD:…” Psalm 33:12
“… blessed is the man that trusteth in him.(God)” Psalm 34:8
“Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.” Psalm 106:3
“… Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.” Psalm 112:1
“Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.” Psalm 119:1

Do you qualify to be Blessed?

‘Blessed’ in the original language is; happy through knowing your way is right.
It has been interpreted; fortunate, prosperous, how happy!
Unlike the rich guy who gained his wealth through lies, deceit and theft, then either drinks himself to death or commits suicide,
A Blessed man is happy in his very core even in his poverty, if that is his lot.

America’s doom has been determined.
We have ceased to be a blessed nation.
We no longer qualify.

We can, as a nation, return to our laws.
Return to our principles.
Return to our morals.
But even the plowing of the wicked is sin. Proverbs 21:4
Our sinking is a symptom of our national rejection of the Nation Maker.
It may be God who determined our end, by placing the ice,
but it was us who fearlessly plunged our Nation full steam into destruction,
claiming; "America cannot sink!"

Yet like Nineveh, we can stall our destruction if we repent in earnest. Jonah 3:4-10
But be warned; once you have made God mad, it is not wise to play games with him!
So far, I don’t see the signs of national repentance, just unhappiness with the way things are.

Give me one reason why God should
HAVE MERCY ON OUR NATION?
Virtually the only reason I can think of is because we are still on Israel's side.
and this is structurally a very strong argument. Genesis 12:3
But because our nation's leaders are Godless, I expect very soon to see them turn on Israel, the signs are already present.

I fear greatly for what is to come, as were great men of the past;
"I tremble for my country when I recall that God is just, and his justice cannot sleep forever." Thomas Jefferson 1781
"If God does not judge America he will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah." Billy Graham

Now like the guy running down the hall of the Titanic yelling at 1:00am, I’m going to get a lot of angry response, because the masses cannot yet see their own doom just moments away!
I’m sorry for that.
If you feel that things are getting better, and America is strong and sound...
there is a poker game down in steerage you might want to attend.

But if I can wake up a few to gather their wits and find their way to a life boat, I care little for those who get angry.
You ask where is the life boat?
From observation, all the nations of the world are in a bad way as well.
Fleeing the country is not a great plan, and is missing the point entirely.
So what are we to do?
It seems we have got ourselves in, where there is no good answer.
I am pointing to Jesus the Son of God as literally the only good answer, but you have to find the right way with your own feet.
If enough of us reconcile with the Nation Maker, who knows the stories we may be able to tell our children!
