America, the Country I love, is rotting from within. From the roots up! Even secularists will soon have to admit such.
I think our Text Verse focuses on situations like ours these days. “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalm 11:3, King James Version.
America, contrary to a growing number of liberal academic revisionists, was founded on Christian (and Jewish) Principles.
But through the years, and it has taken them a long time to do it, the “roots” of American society have been damaged.
Or, as the Psalmist expressed it … “destroyed!” Which is a Hebrew verb meaning “torn down!” Also, five times it means “overthrown!”
The noun “foundations” is once (of only two occurrences in the Old Testament) translated “purposes!”
I don’t even think our government knows our true “purposes” anymore. Most of our Land’s pulpits do not, either.
Still, our verse implies (actually it outright teaches) that a point exists in God’s Estimation … when He will not even listen to the cries of His people.
That’s right. A day will arrive when our prayers, sermons, good works, ministries of all kinds … will be powerless to change God’s Mind, redirect His Hand (of indignation)!
Then … Judgment will fall!
And soon, world-wide judgment!
I am beginning to wonder … “Does anyone care?”
Destroyed?
Destroyed!
God cannot lie, folks. (See Titus 1:2.)
I am preparing a series of sermons on Bible Prophecy. Russia, Iran, and other enemies of Israel … will someday attack God’s Holy Land!
And that day (a type of Armageddon) more than the foundations will be destroyed. There we can put a period … DESTROYED. (Period.)
