August 10, 2019: SOAP #3537:  Jeremiah 5-6; John 12

Scripture:  Jeremiah (NIV) 5:11 The house of Israel and the house of Judah have been utterly unfaithful to me,” declares the LORD. 12 They have lied about the LORD; they said, “He will do nothing! No harm will come to us; we will never see sword or famine. …
15 O house of Israel,” declares the LORD, “I am bringing a distant nation against you — … 17 They will devour your harvests and food, devour your sons and daughters; they will devour your flocks and herds, devour your vines and fig trees. …

Observation:  The USA is not Israel, so prophetic words to Israel cannot be specifically assigned to the USA.  However, for years we have claimed the God of Israel as our God.  Clearly our nation would not exist without His intervention!   His character has not changed!  He remains the Holy Judge.

In the news today, I heard what was reported as good news.  The number of aliens arrested at our southern border has declined last month in July.  Only 82,049 were arrested!  (Down from 104,367 in June.)

For comparison, an army division is 10,000-20,000.  So, in one month we were invaded by an army of 4 to 8 divisions.  For comparison, the USA part of the invasion force on D-Day was 73,000. (23,250 on Omaha; 34,250 on Utah; and 15,500 airborne troops.)  Last month we were invaded by more people than we sent into Europe on D-Day!  That is not good news; that is judgment!

Application:  WAKE UP, America!  God is holding us accountable for the millions of babies we have aborted.  We cannot count on our government to develop a plan to deal with God’s judgment.  But we can count on God to mercifully respond to repentance.  We can count on God to give wisdom in how to respond to our new neighbors.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, HELP!  We desperately need your help!  Holy Spirit, draw us to repentance and a place of mercy.  Amen
