New York: Harbinger of Judgment

Prophecy Update: February 1, 2019

God asks a penetrating question in the book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah is a prophet to all of the nations of the world. I am thankful for the book of Jeremiah because God raised up a humble prophet whose message is for the whole world. Each nation needs to read the book of Jeremiah because God has a message to each nation. The message to America from Jeremiah is a message from God. This message gives a warning to those who think they can deny God and run a country. America has denied God in her courts, schools, and cultural activities. As America has done this, the Christians have continued to acknowledge God in the courts, schools, and cultural activities. This battle for our nation and heritage is at the same place as we were in 1860. Here is the question from God.

Jeremiah 2:11, “Has a nation changed gods when they were not gods?
But My people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.”

The American people are in the midst of a civil war. The war is over a worldview. Are we as a nation a nation that has a god? Those who answer no are very bold and dominate the news media and colleges. They say that all gods are equal and that any questioning of the Muslim god is evil but questioning the God of our fathers, the Judeo/Christian God is valid and right. God is very clear in Psalm 33:12 “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.” We have changed gods in America. Our courts are full of unrighteous judges who rule from an alien worldview. They have changed their glory for that which does not profit. God goes on to say in Jeremiah:

Jer 7:28 “You shall say to them, ‘this is the nation that did not obey the voice of the LORD their God or accept correction; truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.”
For those who have read Civil War history, they know that many preachers were warning America over the issue of slavery. The warning was that God would punish this nation over its refusal to obey Him. The obedience needed to be based on the Bible and the biblical view in the Declaration of Independence statement: All men are created equal and endowed by their creator! The issue in 1860 was slavery, the issue today is abortion.

Did you see the headlines out of New York regarding a new abortion bill? Did it horrify you as much as it did me? My spirit was so provoked and I had a very uneasy feeling of dread. The Lord will not put up with this I thought. God will bring the heavy hand of judgment. My spirit feels the heavy hand of judgment coming from God. I feel like Jeremiah, I just want to pull people back from the brink of disaster and plead with them to repent. Here is the headline:
Catholic leaders call for Gov. Cuomo to be excommunicated for ‘flagrant celebration of pro-abortion bill’ Here is a portion of the article from Fox News: “Cuomo held a public signing of the bill minutes after the “Reproductive Health Act” passed, moving abortion from the state criminal statute to the health code. The new law allows non-doctors to perform the procedure and allows for abortions up to the point of birth if the life or health of the mother is deemed at risk or the baby is not viable. The governor especially angered opponents when he ordered that landmarks in the state, including One World Trade Center, be lit pink in celebration.”

As soon as I saw that they lit up the One World Trade Center with the pink light I could not shake the feeling that the tower would be attacked like the Trade Center buildings in 9/11. This bill is so evil, it gives people the right to kill the baby all the way up to the due date. It also prevents anyone from prosecuting a person for killing a baby in the womb. Here is how bad the Catholic Bishop thought it was:
“It goes way beyond Roe v. Wade in so many ways, so I don’t see it as something to celebrate,” Albany Bishop Edward Scharfenberger told “Fox & Friends” Saturday. “The kind of procedures that are now available in New York state, we wouldn’t even do to a dog or a cat…It’s torture.”

From Christian Headlines news service they had this headline by Shane Idleman Contributor to ChristianHeadlines.com, Wednesday, January 23, 2019 : “Thunderous Applause: We Can Kill Our Children at Nine Months” I could not believe what I was reading: People actually applauded the slaughtering of children. Was I having a dream . . . a nightmare? Was this real?

“Why didn’t someone do something?” Those five words still haunt my thoughts today. Some time ago, I sat speechless as I listened to a man recount his trip to a Holocaust museum with his young daughter. As they walked by photos of the death camps and gas chambers, his daughter silently contemplated the horrors that were unfolding before her eyes.” Later that little girl asked her dad, Why didn’t they do something?

I believe that the only hope for America is a national and spiritual revival. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only hope. What can change a heart is the Holy Spirit moving the hearts of those who are so cold! Idleman said, “As the moral and cultural war rages between our shores, the need to be awakened from our spiritual slumber has never been greater. “Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is tested” (Martin Luther). When human life is devalued, atrocities such as the Holocaust, slavery, sex-trafficking, and abortion occur. God help us when we ignore our calling to confront evil. Pastors are to be pillars who support truth and defend the faith. “We need more prophets in our pulpits and less puppets” (Leonard Ravenhill).

As a watchman on the wall, I want to warn America that the terrible hand of judgment is around the corner. Remember that when God brought the judgments on Israel, many Godly men and women were in Israel. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Meshach, Shadrach, Abedneggo, Micah, Hosea, and on and on. Judgment is often delayed but it will come if there is no repentance.

Here are some other headlines that are typical of the antichristian views which are prevalent: “STARBUCKS HOWARD SCHULTZ TELLS ANTI-GAY MARRIAGE CHRISTIAN STOCKHOLDERS TO ‘SELL YOUR SHARES’ AND GO INVEST IN ANOTHER COMPANY” No Christians allowed in Starbucks I guess!

“Nation’s largest utility files for bankruptcy amid California wildfire lawsuits” California is already taking hits and they will keep coming. Their whole state government is in full rebellion against God.

And now from the ongoing war on America from Iran: “Iran ayatollah: ‘Death to America’ until Muslims turn White House to Islamic center” I could do a whole update from all of the threats this week from Islam on America. It is overwhelming to see the hatred and desire to destroy Christianity and Judaism from the earth.

CA College Board Of Trustees Eliminates Pledge Of Allegiance: Its History ‘Steeped in Nativism And White Nationalism’ Part of the civil war going on in the USA includes colleges who outright wish to destroy our heritage. Attacking the Pledge of Allegiance and throwing God out of the public square are part of the strategy.

We now have Muslims in the Congress who are advocating all out antisemitism. The new representative from Minnesota said this this week:
“Ilhan Omar Suggests Israel Should Not Be Allowed To Exist As Jewish State, Suggests Not A ‘Democracy’ Anti-Semitic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) suggested in an interview this week that Israel should not be allowed to exist as a Jewish state, Israel is not a democracy, and compared Israel to Iran — which is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.”

Back to abortion—if the people of New York are willing to kill their children up to the due date, who else do they think are not worthy to live? Some Democrats say that people with white skin are a diseased race. Is that bizarre? Unfortunately, we live in a day when the hearts of the people have grown cold and they have hatred in their heart. New York democrats who passed this evil bill are committing the same sin as those who sacrificed their children to the gods Molech and Balaam. Pray that God will stop this mass murder of children.
Finally, there is this: “On May 13, 2013, Dr Kermit Gosnell was convicted in Philadelphia of 3 counts of first degree murder for snipping, with scissors, the necks of infants who had been born alive.” This man is happy for the new law because he believes that what he did was right. Murdering babies after they are born is the next step. Gosnell said this: “…I continue to feel optimistic of the eventual outcome…the vindication of what I’ve done, why I’ve done it and how [it] will become accepted within my lifetime.” Our country is in serious need of revival. Pray Ps. 43:1 this week. I do not know how bad it is going to get before the Lord puts a stop to this madness, but I do know we need to pray.

Psa 43:1, “Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation;
O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!”

About Joe

We live in the last days and the Bible commands us to watch for the Lord’s coming. I have a keen interest in history, prophecy and current events. I read widely about political and military developments and write a weekly blog from the things I follow. My special interest is in Middle Eastern affairs.

Since I was in college, I have also studied how God judges nations. It all started in Buck Hatches’ class at Columbia Bible College in 1979.

I fell in love with God’s word and especially the prophets. The results of this interest led me to writing The ‘I’ Judgements: Four Sins that Bring about the Fall of Nations. It serves as a warning to the United States, showing biblically of what we need to repent.
