“America, you are dying. You don’t have long to live.”
This is the message I have been given.
Virtually everything else I have written, is my interpretation of scripture and history. *1
But I am confident I have the heart of God in this matter.
And there is more I have not written.
Now the first, reasonable reaction of anyone who is given such a serious diagnosis is to want a second opinion!
Of course, by all means, seek it out.
But unless you go to a psychedelic chicken waver, who says you can cure your illness by spending yourself out of debt *2, The Handwriting Is On The Wall.
Only a blind man cannot see the signs.
But denial is a first gut reaction. I understand that.
So deny it.
But then think about it, and look around, There is no doubt that America is among the walking dead already, she simply has not fallen to her knees yet by sheer willpower.
But Like the person lying in the hospital dying of cancer, America can deny the truth and all the evidence and keep fighting against it until that last breath,
Or she can understand the seriousness of her situation and get her things in order for her appearance before her maker.
In the old Black and White movies, the family would be all dressed in black hovering quietly around the bed of the dying, and just near the end, there would be a calling to bring in the priest.
Why?
Was the priest going to pray for some miracle of healing?
No, All that is past.
The purpose of the priest was to help the dying to make peace with their God… BEFORE they passed over.
Denial makes this impossible.
Is the priest accused of being insensitive?
Or judgmental?
No.
He is simply there to help the only effort which remains to the dying;
To get right with God.
Do you still wonder about the fulfillment of the “writing on the wall” in the prophecy? (Daniel 5:24-28)
Have a look around.
It is everywhere.
It is so clear it cannot be denied.
Yet I have show you the interpretation just in case you couldn’t see it for yourself.
America, You don’t need a doctor.
You need a priest.

Now for the confused, I will make God’s heart very clear in this thing;
There is a very defined difference between a nation of people, and the individuals.
God has every intention of destroying a nation, but his heart is still yeaning for the repentance of individuals to turn to Him while there is time.
It is too late for the nation, but it is not yet too late for you;
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Whosoever means anyone.
Regardless of your sins, or how bad you have ruined your life. Regardless if you are a Muslim terrorist, or a Christ hating Jew. God loves you as an individual and wants earnestly to forgive you, and restore you to himself. This is the sacrifice of Jesus’ death, to pay the punishment for your sin. All you have to do is accept it.
Turn to God and simply submit your heart to him.
The Christian God is the God of love. The death of America is by suicide.*3

But of all the views of this law none is more important, none more legitimate, than that of rendering the people the safe, as they are the ultimate, guardians of their own liberty. For this purpose the reading in the first stage, where they will receive their whole education, is proposed, as has been said, to be chiefly historical. History by apprising them of the past will enable them to judge of the future; it will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views.
Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 14, 1781
Interpretation into common English:
Regarding the intent of all the laws, there are none more important or usefully necessary, than those which make possible the people to guard their own freedom. It is for this reason among all that they will learn, that History should be chief among the earliest years of education. Scrutinizing the examples of history will equip them to rightly evaluate the actions and intentions of men in the present. It will enable them to see clearly the intentions behind every deception that can arise. And by recognizing that deception they can defeat it’s very concept.

But with respect to future debt; would it not be wise and just for that nation to declare in the constitution they are forming that neither the legislature, nor the nation itself can validly contract more debt, than they may pay within their own age, or within the term of 19 years.
Thomas Jefferson, September 6, 1789
*3
And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.
Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781
At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Monsieur A. Coray, Oct 31, 1823
Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. Do not be too severe upon their errors, but reclaim them by enlightening them. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress, and Assemblies, Judges, and Governors, shall all become wolves.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Edward Carrington, January 16, 1787
A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate.
Thomas Jefferson, Rights of British America, 1774
[I]t is a common observation here that our cause is the cause of all mankind, and that we are fighting for their liberty in defending our own.
Benjamin Franklin, letter to Samuel Cooper, May 1, 1777
Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
Benjamin Franklin, letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy, November 13, 1789
Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories.
Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 14, 1781
They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.
Benjamin Franklin (attributed), at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
Repeal that [welfare] law, and you will soon see a change in their manners. St. Monday and St. Tuesday, will soon cease to be holidays. Six days shalt thou labor, though one of the old commandments long treated as out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept; industry will increase, and with it plenty among the lower people; their circumstances will mend, and more will be done for their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates among them.
Benjamin Franklin, letter to Collinson, May 9, 1753
I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Benjamin Rush, September 23, 1800
That wise Men have in all Ages thought Government necessary for the Good of Mankind; and, that wise Governments have always thought Religion necessary for the well ordering and well-being of Society, and accordingly have been ever careful to encourage and protect the Ministers of it, paying them the highest publick Honours, that their Doctrines might thereby meet with the greater Respect among the common People.
Benjamin Franklin, On that Odd Letter of the Drum, April 1730
They are of the People, and return again to mix with the People, having no more durable preeminence than the different Grains of Sand in an Hourglass. Such an Assembly cannot easily become dangerous to Liberty. They are the Servants of the People, sent together to do the People's Business, and promote the public Welfare; their Powers must be sufficient, or their Duties cannot be performed. They have no profitable Appointments, but a mere Payment of daily Wages, such as are scarcely equivalent to their Expences; so that, having no Chance for great Places, and enormous Salaries or Pensions, as in some Countries, there is no triguing or bribing for Elections.
Benjamin Franklin, letter to George Whatley, May 23, 1785
And on and on and on.
The wise and insightful thoughts of our founders is a wonderful thing to behold.

in reading what you quote from Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, i wonder, what would they say about America today? you can see the absolute foresight they had in their writings.
ReplyDeletethe dying of America is heavy in the air these days...will there be time to recover, do the majority of individuals want it to recover?
some of the things that i see as a cancer on America,
X -the complete lack of trust, or honesty.
X -technology
X -elimination of the middle class
X -acceptance of currently illegal activities (immigration, legalizing drug use)
X -blending borders among foreign countries
X -federal controls
what happened to the saying "sacrifice the few, to save the many"? i see the opposite happening, and i do see way to much special favor decisions in government..
i can see the people of America fall to their knees and surrender their hearts to God in a shorter amount of time than it would take to fix all the wrongs listed above and then some, however, we live by sacrifice the many, to save the few.
a question just popped, why would the feds feel that national health care, which the lie says is for the purpose of assisting the poor, is far more important than saving our country from a foreign takeover, of the poor?
California intends to vote to legalize marijuana, are the people thinking about where it is going to come from? supply and demand, where is it coming from today? why do we have border patrols, when as a country we are told to turn a blind eye to "undocumented" immigration, why do the border patrols stop illegal drug smuggling if the closest state is going to legalize its use? of course today, for whatever reason, the feds are angry about the possibility of it becoming legal, yet turn their backs on the immigration issues, which activity is most detrimental to our country?
death is in the air, where is the hope among the masses?
