Is God judging America

Let look at the figures!

Current Statistics on Abortion
46,023,191 Total Reported Mechanical Abortions since 1973 (This statistic does not count chemical abortions)

In the year 2000, there were 3,600 abortions per day; that is ONE reported mechanical abortion every 24 seconds in the United States!

In the year 2000: 24% of all pregnancies were ended by abortion! Only 7% of women reported rape, incest, or health concerns as a reason for having an abortion.Almost half of all abortions are performed on women who have had at least one abortion.

I ask the question!

Do you believe that God is judging America?

If not currently, then do you believe that He is going to judge America?

If He is now judging, or will in the near future judge, what form do you think that judgment will take?

The Bible tells of judgment upon those who hurt an unborn child.

Exo 21:22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

Amo 1:13 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:


Again, do you feel God is going to soon, or is He already, judging America?

What do you think?

Re: Is God judging America

I don't know if God is judging America or not. I believe we reap what we sow. And that there are always consequences for actions, both good and bad.

Re: Is God judging America

God is beginning to judge the world, not just America.

We're going to get our share, but mankind has lived in rebellion against God for ages. Everybody will get their share of His judment, including our own nation.

And now a major drought in California that will affect the prices that everyone in the USA will pay for food this year. Financial Calamity, Weird Weather, Drought, surely by now we see this as some type of judgment from God.

Re: Is God judging America

I think we are oftentimes judged by our own actions (as a nation).

But the severest comes on those who have revelation or knowledge to do otherwise.

Re: Is God judging America

America by and large is a very wicked nation. Its a testimony to the mercies of YHWH that he has withheld his judgment as long as he has. Yes friends he is judging America. It will get much, much worse.

Re: Is God judging America

So, next time there's a natural disaster, will you guys be able to tell whether it was God's judgment or not? Was Katrina a big, divine spanking? How about those fires in California? Or Australia? Was God punishing SF in 1906 with the quake and fires? There has been wickedness in America and in all countries, since there were countries. How much wickedness does it take to trigger God's wrath?

There have been good times and bad times in every country, since forever. Maybe things just happen.

Here in Ky we just had the biggest natural disaster in our history. 700,000 people lost their power from the ice storm three weeks ago. There are STILL people without power as winter goes on.

I believe God is sovereign (in charge) of these things. Its a wake up call. His judgments are meant to get our attention.

Amen.

There is but even a faint rememberance of morality much less holiness in America. In the nation full of Churches. Where the great majority claim to believe in God and many claim to even believe Jesus is the Saviour.

Our current President has for his home page a video of himself dancing with ELLEN. Yet he says he is a Christian and his faith is very important to him.

The former president claimed he was a Christian and yet said all religions lead to the same God.

This is so typical in America as well as elsewhere in the world. Yet America is without excuse. I would say almost every home has a Bible even those who are not Church goers.

Israel was special to YHWH in the Old Testament era. He loved them. Yet time after time he brought them to judgment. At times he said he was FURIOUS with them.

In nowadays America people are offended at the word. If you offer a word of admonition concerning unrighteousness you are considered a hate monger even by Christians.

So yes God will always be dealing with kindness and love toward his people that love and fear him. He will even make the bad things work for good.

But all should be warned that God is a God of judgment. Any time there is sin in ones life they should be very afraid.

Especially those who know the truth.
