We Bible believers know God can judge sin, and quickly!
King Herod, wicked to the core, is an example … “And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms and gave up the ghost.” Acts 12:23
In the future, “Babylon” (as a rebuilt city or perhaps as a rebuilt religious system based on Babylon of old) will be brought down in an hour, one short hour! “Standing (certain observers) afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.” Revelation 18:10
Sodom, that eponymous city, fell (better that I say burned) quickly! “Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven.” Genesis 19:24
On the other hand …
God also is known for waiting (patiently so) prior to sending His stern judgment on a land!
In fact, He is being particularly tolerant of the United Staes of America, with all her blatant sin!
I might add … the same sins as Herod, as Babylon, as Sodom or Gomorrah!
I personally suspect God’s Hand of Judgment could hit America any minute! I already sense its eminence.
No nation is exempt …
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Quoting Psalm 9:17.
We are living in an explosive world. And a few people (so-called leaders) are playing with matches!
Beware, Country of my birth, that I still love. Consider thyself warned!
Well readers, I have found a verse that perhaps explains God’s “waiting.”
He certainly has promised judgment! “And the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9
God is waiting (being longsuffering, slow to anger) … providing the opportunity for another soul to be saved, to be redeemed by the Bloof of Jesus.
God’s waiting to whip (if not neutralize) once-Christian America is not due to the lightness of our sin … but to the depth (heaviness) of His amazing LOVE!
He waits … for others to come to repentance!
But (ask Noah) God’s longsuffering can finally be exhausted!
When?
Only He knows, and whether the demise of the United States is to be soon or not-so-soon … that FALL is certain!
A Fall that will negatively affect our children and grandchildren … if not us!
Matthew 7:27 may prove to be more than just a Parable! “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”
Wow!
