There is a day on the Hebrew Calendar known as “The 9thof Av.” It is the darkest day in Jewish history. On this SAME DATE in history, the Jewish Temple was destroyed twice:
First in 586 BC
And again in 70 AD
Remember…History Repeats itself.
This year in 2013, the 9th of Av falls on July 16th. Like Israel , the United States is a “bridal nation.”–A nation who willingly placed herself under the Covenant of God Almighty. This covenant is written like a contract…IF you do this: (obedience)…you will receive this: (blessings). IF you do this: (disobedience)…you will receive this: (curses/sudden catastrophes).
We clearly know what obedience looks like. God laid this out for us in his Word a summation of which is the 10 commandments. Of course, all of these sins are committed on a daily basis by individuals. But the danger to a nation’s existence arises when these sins are broken in their entirety by a nation.
Here’s how the United States has broken the Covenant and why America is on the precipice of a sudden catastrophe; a devastating National Disaster.
There are three national sins that have always preceded judgment in Ancient Israel. They are:
1) DESCECRATION of the altar.
2) REMOVAL of God worship from the Temple .
3) REPLACEMENT of God with an idol.
Here’s what few people know…PRIOR to the 9th of AV (three weeks prior to be exact) there is another date that very few Americans have ever heard of. It is called the Fast of Tammuz. This year, 2013, this date will be June 25th. On this date in history:
1) Moses broke the two tablets of stone in anger on Mount Sinai after he found the children of Israel worshipping the Golden Calf.
2) The daily olat tamid offering ceased to be brought
3) The walls of Jerusalem were breached prior to final destruction
4) The Torah was burned
5) An idol was erected in the Temple
Amazingly, The United States of America is on this exact same pathway…
We have fully accomplished DESECRATION of the altar through our wicked abortion laws. We are symbolically “tossing our infants into the fire.” When you think that these precious infants may ultimately end up in trash incinerators, maybe we are literally tossing them into the fire as well. Currently, America has the dubious distinction of legally allowing abortions through to the 9thmonth of gestation. We are also encouraging and importing abortions throughout the entire world by our targeted funding. After the horrific Gosnell trial, no one in America can claim, similar to the protesting German public during WWII, that “we just didn’t know.” We have “seen the smokestacks” and the body parts that clogged the sewer drains. We have seen the little feet cut off and put in jars as a display trophy. Just like the Nazis, America is complicit in removing the body parts of precious human beings in a diabolical display of evil. The question is: “What have we done about it?” The answer: very little has changed since Gosnell. In the last few weeks, an Arizona court case AFFIRMED that we have the “right” to kill babies after their 20thweek of gestation. It STRUCK DOWN a “fetal pain” law as “unconstitutional.” In another disturbing case, the Supreme Court recently upheld an Indiana ruling that the state could not block Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood. This means our tax dollars will continue to fund this hideous practice. All of us, in essence, have innocent blood on our hands. This week the Supreme Court REFUSED to question the Constitutionality of a case from Colorado that banned the use of graphic fetus photos in protest.
See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil.
So, while there has been a huge public outcry…AMERICA , as a government or nation, has openly RE-AFFIRMED abortion since the outrages of Gosnell. Even if we don’t personally agree with these court cases…we are captive passengers on the Titanic and she has hit the iceberg. I’m sure there were many Christian German citizens that didn’t like what was happening to the Jews in Germany during WWII. This DID NOT stop the country from being pounded into rubble by the wrath of Almighty God for the sin of genocide. January 22nd, 2013 marked the 40-year anniversary of the Roe v. Wade abomination in the United States . We have seen our highest elected official sanction this procedure and even, astonishingly, say “God Bless Planned Parenthood”…asking God to bless EVIL. God MUST and WILL answer this challenge to His Authority. If He were to do nothing…the silence would be tantamount to His AGREEMENT or implicit “blessing” of this statement.
We are well aware of America ’s historic REMOVAL of GOD from the “Temple .” Guess what day June 25th is? It is the 17th of Tammuz on the Hebrew calendar. It is also the 51stanniversary of the REMOVAL OF GOD from Public Schools. The #51 signifies either serious epic judgment OR repentance in the Bible. The 51st Psalm is the repentance prayer by David after he committed adultery with Bathsheba. “Jubilees” years occur every 50 years in the Bible. Jubilees signify “setting the captives free.” The 51st year is a “cosmic do-over” when everything gets leveled and God renews a fresh start. Almighty God will set the captives free one way or another—with our willing approval or without. America has two choices: Repent or face destruction. Repent or face serious judgment.
Eerily, we are about to have a very public example of physically REPLACING God with an idol on our American soil. In ancient times, the Israelites installed a graven image or monument in honor of a false god. Frighteningly, we plan to do this VERY SAME THING on or before June 29th in the State of Florida . On June 29th, an Atheist group is having a 1500 pound granite monument installed on the grounds of a courthouse in Tallahassee , Florida . This group sued the Bradford County courthouse to remove the 10 commandments. When they lost that case, they demanded that their atheist monument also be placed next to the 10 commandments. In a shocking first for America , the county agreed to allow this. It will be the VERY FIRST TIME in American history that such a godless monument will be installed on PUBLIC GOVERNMENT property! Make no mistake…this is an historic event in the spiritual world. America is thumbing her nose in the face of Almighty God. Do we seriously believe God will continue to bless the United States when our nation openly commits such confrontational acts against God Almighty? It’s like we are saying: “I DARE You to do something about this.” Or “We WANT to publicly embarrass You.” Make no mistake…God will not be mocked. Whatever a man reaps, that shall he also sow. Incredibly the name “Tallahassee ” is an Apalachee Indian word meaning “abandoned fields.” If we want to make a public statement that we have NO GOD…then God will allow us to see what America looks like without Him.
Dear God help us…it will not be pretty.
So look at this list once again regarding the 17thof Tammuz in history: (or June 25th, 2013)
1) Moses broke the two tablets of stone on Mount Sinai
The U.S. is “breaking” up the laws of our Judeo-Christian heritage rock solid foundation.
2) The daily olat tamid offering has ceased to be brought
We have removed the “daily offering” of prayer from our schools
3) The walls of Jerusalem were breached
The abundance of natural disasters (tornados, wildfires, storms) is physical evidence that our “walls have been breached.” The protective hedge of the Holy Spirit has been removed AT OUR INSISTENCE.
4) The Torah was burned
No more Bible reading in our schools. We’ve symbolically “burned the Torah.”
5) An idol was erected in the Temple
And…with EERY timing, the Atheist monument is being erected for the FIRST TIME EVER on government soil in the entire 50 states on or before June 29th. I wonder if it will actually touch down on June 25th before its official unveiling on the 29th. I suspect this will be the case. The timing of this makes my hair stand on end.
If the Supreme Court rules against Proposition 8 and DOMA before June 25th …we will have committed the final and ultimate abomination. We will have an official government monument AND a Supreme Court law…WORSHIPPING OURSELVES or total GOD REPLACEMENT…the final step in the apostasy process.
So what happens next???
With the “restraining influence” of the Holy Spirit removed (at our official request)…I predict all HELL will break loose in America . Expect ramped up natural disasters, more terrorist attacks and quite possibly the beginning of World War III.
We must REPENT and REPENT NOW!
Therefore be zealous and repent
~Rev 3:19
“A patriot without religion in my estimation is as great a paradox as an honest Man without the fear of God. Is it possible that he whom no moral obligations bind, can have any real Good Will towards Men? Can he be a patriot who, by an openly vicious conduct, is undermining the very bonds of Society?….The Scriptures tell us “righteousness exalteth a Nation.”
~Abigail Adams
“I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe… Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent, and they will be vigilant; give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy.”
— Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837
“[I]f we and our posterity reject religious instruction and authority, violate the rules of eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the political constitution which holds us together, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us, that shall bury all our glory in profound obscurity.”
— Daniel Webster
