UNFAITHFUL
What a heritage, America, you once possessed in the
God you loved.
Now
there are new lovers in your arms, which grieves His heavenly
Dove.
There are many in you who the Lord in His regal
splendor no longer
admire;
Yet in this nation stand seven thousand, who for Him would stand in
the
fire?
In your beginning you were espoused to Him by
the fathers of old;
One nation under God you were to be, even His spiritual gold.
Once you were His lightbearer and of His truth
a teacher;
But in succeeding generations you forgot the way, and became a
fallen
preacher.
Now your uncircumcised heart is hardened by the
gospel news;
For in you is another spirit, and the righteous way you refuse.
Behold the heights from which you have fallen, and in
your soul mourn;
Because the stand for right you once upheld, you now scorn.
A land of whoredoms you have become, and by lust you
are corrupt;
With every foul spirit you commit adultery, and with every evil
sup.
You lay with the seducing spirit of materialism for
the desires you seek;
Ever craving, never full, dying and nothing can you keep.
The Lord of heaven gives you bread, silver and gold,
but you say,
“This is of me.”
In a proud independent spirit this acknowledgment you do not see.
The declaration on your currency, “In God we
trust,” is clearly written;
But you have faith in money, and by love of it you are smitten.
America, you look to your government leaders for what
you need;
What do they know of the Lord? For most of them are carnal and full
of greed.
As a country you were born in the wilderness and had
to trust much.
Now you have plenty and trust little; you need a corrective touch.
In the days of little you sought your God with zeal.
Now with many years of abundance you live as though He is not real.
You were brought to a promised land within your
borders, and were given the best.
You
do not see God as your source, so this Promised Land is becoming a
wilderness.
The laws of the land are changing from the ring of
freedom to captivity.
In you is unrest, uncertainty, darkness and loss of tranquility.
All the drugs that flow through you, are evidence of
the void you daily
face;
In them a new adventure to nowhere, a new thrill of death you
chase.
Listen if you will- murder is no longer in your
streets, it’s done in the
womb:
The children conceived in lustful pleasure you cold-heartedly doom.
The decree of the court permits you to kill the
offspring of sexual
irresponsibility.
The
Law of God is, what you sow you will reap inevitably.
Whatever the legislators decree that defies God’s
law,
Will be shaken until it falls, and all shall see the evil flaw.
So another lover you embrace, whose name is sexual
perversion;
This goddess of promiscuous lust has brought you to an immoral
submersion.
When virginity and marital purity are laughed at, and
are not the norm,
The family is no longer honored, and to our great harm.
The depth of your Babylonian filth is paraded
in unashamed
homosexuality.
Here the true nature of man and women as created has no reality.
The church in you, America, for this condition the
unbeliever blame;
O! The truth to uncover: you, too, have idol lovers to your shame.
You have been religious, but not pure and holy in the
land:
You’ve played the part without heart, but in truth where is your
stand?
To a religious spirit you give ear with its rules,
concessions and lying
charms;
This lover takes what belongs to God with blinding, subtle forms.
This spirit poses as God and many commit
adultery with it in a darkened
place;
There is not life in this imitation, not even a trace.
In you there is abundance of preaching, but can holy
substance be found?
You say you are born of me: how is it, when by sin you are bound?
Many woes to you, America, are coming- God you will
not mock.
Hunger, suffering, death, and shock are about to strike on His
judgment
clock.
As the Lord’s judgments fall, your lover’s
attractions shall cease;
They from His wrath cannot deliver nor release.
When alien armies invade your land, you shall
remember the God of
your youth;
For in this season He shall purify you and return you to His truth.
The warning of a nuclear attack to your mind is
absurd;
You will remember the prophet’s voice when the explosion is
heard.
The seven thousand in you, the obedient and faithful
ones in heart,
In this indignation shall know His shield- and shall be set apart.
The Lord will protect, provide and a refuge to them
be,
They are kept in Goshen land for holy they are and this is the key.
America, when God has finished cleansing you, the
Lord you shall
adore;
His consuming fire your every idol burn, His worship to restore.
So shall this republic be reborn to a greater love of
God than in days
of old;
Healed of your sins and backslidings, life again shall flourish as
foretold.
I will bring you back to a faithful and dependent
mind;
You will learn all that is in heaven and earth is truly mine.
The trumpet sounds- repent while there is still time-
For the judgment hour is about to chime.
You do not have to go this way, America, if the
prophets you will hear.
This republic can be saved from wrath, if the Lord you will fear.
Will you remember? Before you were born as a republic
He knew you,
To bring you forth as a righteous nation, to be genuine and true.
At this hour the prophets for God are speaking and
warning;
But who is listening as His judgment is dawning?
“Righteousness exalteth a nation:
But sin is a reproach to any people”. Prov.
14:34
“Who
shall not fear The, O LORD and glorify Thy name?
for Thou only art holy: for
all nations shall come and worship before Thee; for Thy judgments are made
manifest.” Rev. 15:4
“Blessed
is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He chose for His
inheritance.” Psa. 33:12
John
