It increasingly appears that there is a widespread misconception that once an individual repents of their sins for the first time, their salvation is irrevocably secured and cannot be lost. Similarly, in the context of a nation, the belief is that if God blesses that nation, those blessings will remain unchallenged. But is this truly what Scripture conveys? Can we genuinely repent of our sins and then continue to engage in them without any fear of repercussions or loss? Have we somehow acquired a perpetual 'get out of jail free' card? Now, let’s consider a nation or territory. What occurs when a nation or land has served and acknowledged God but subsequently turns away from His ways and persists in unfaithfulness? Is that land or nation at risk? Will it face any form of punishment? Or does God's anointed presence remain with it simply because it once honored Him? For instance, let’s examine America. This nation was founded on biblical principles and has professed faith in the Messiah and the Scriptures like no other nation in history. The early Puritans bore witness to Yeshua and adhered to the commandments. However, as the church began to exert influence, other religions were permitted to infiltrate. Then, America turned away from God when the Supreme Court allowed a woman to sue to halt prayers and the Bible in schools, granting her victory! The consequences of this decision ushered in a wave of abominable practices against God within America. This includes the murder of unborn children under the guise of abortion. There has been a rejection of the Torah and a teaching that encourages others to do the same. Pagan religions from around the world have been given a platform to propagate their falsehoods about false gods. Marriage has become a mere term, its value and sanctity have been obliterated! The divine union of one man and one woman has been distorted into the most grotesque abomination against the sanctity of marriage, promoting and condoning homosexuality, bestiality, gender confusion, and same-sex marriages, and a growing sensitivity to pedophiles, to put it lightly. There is a growing flame of hatred and animosity towards Israel. And all of this transpires under the umbrella of the church and the name of Jesus Christ. This is what America has turned into! A nation, more fortunate than any other in history, save for Israel. A nation that has blasphemed God more than any nation ever. And if God did not withhold His hand of judgment to His chosen people, how much more the judgement for America? America has utterly profaned the God of Israel, who has sent warning after warning, yet America has not listened or repented, instead continuing to indulge and revel in her wickedness. Just as sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, so too will America face utter destruction for her open and boisterous sins against God. All due to Persistent Unfaithfulness to the LORD! http://www.shmayisrael7.com
