Does the recent chaos in America mean God has removed His blessings and protection?
After God had established Israel as a nation, He warned them about the national blessings of obedience and curses for disobedience. God warned them that, if they rejected Him, He would reject them and would end up in bondage to other nations. They refused to listen to the many prophets God sent, warning them to repent of face the judgment of God. God’s words apply to any nation of the world, that,
“If you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth” -Deuteronomy 28:1.
However, these blessings are conditional. There must be obedience and if there is “ All these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice if the Lord your God” – Deuteronomy 28:2
There will be blessings of livestock, agriculture, supplies, protection prosperity, and health, but only if you obey.
Today it is hard-pressed to find any nation that is living in obedience to God. Many who live in these nations are God’s own children, and they are living in obedience, but they too may suffer someday because of the depravity and sinfulness found in those nations.
I fear we are headed for “times of trouble” that many of us have never seen in our lifetime. I do know that you cannot abort (murder in God’s eyes) over 60 million babies and not have judgment come upon a nation.
America is the weakest we’ve ever seen. And growing weaker every day. We are living in a time of trouble where even the nations will tremble and live in fear (Matthew 24).
Cursed for Disobedience
All of the blessings I’ve written about above in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 will be turned into curses. If we choose not to obey the nation will be undone by the Lord our God because we have turned away from Him and forsaken Him. I know this because today in our society, what used to seem good, is now bad, and what used to be bad is now seen as good.
It’s very similar to the people and the nations that Isaiah declared, “Woe to those who call level good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, whoop put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter” – Isaiah 5:20
Did you know that New York City has erected a statue that is called a “Satanic golden Medusa.” according to the artist who created the statue it’s a symbol of women’s empowerment and an expression of support for abortion. The Statue of Moloch the god of child sacrifice stands in New York City.
Innocent Victims
If you are a true receiver in God you and I may also suffer because if someone else sins or national sin, where a nation turns it’s back on God. Daniel the Prophet was loved by God, but he also was taken away into captivity because of the national sins in Judah.
Many times I have heard unbelievers say after a national disaster, or accident, “Where was God?” I feel like saying, “Don’t you remember, you kicked Hin out!”
When you kick God out of the government, the schools, and the public squares and experience disruption, don’t ask where was God. If there was ever a time for repentance, it is now, because soon, God will remove what little covering we have from Him.
I do not believe that America is the only nation God has removed His blessings from. There are several nations that are no better. If not worse, than the United States. Several nations have long ago abandoned God. Some nations worship false gods. God will not leave undone for other nations what He has done in America by chastening it for its evil ways, having forsaken Him.
God will not treat America any differently than any other nation. God is no respect of persons or nations, although we know God is not finished with His chosen people, Israel, but even they at this point have turned their back on the One true and living God. They have rejected Jesus as the prophecies Messiah for 2000 years, but the day is coming when everyone will bow their knee and submit to Him as their great king.
Has God removed His blessings from Americs and allowed us to be cursed? I don’t know, but I do know that God will not punish America alone and remove His blessings and curse this nation alone. He will be against any nation that continues living in wanton disobedience.
Just look around you. It seems like the whole world needs to repent, fast, pray and seek God.
God’s judgment is sure to come and it will be swift and severe. Unless this nation or any other nation turns back to God, He will turn His back on them. If i’s not done, God will completely remove His hedge of protection, and once this happens just about anything is possible:
Economic depression, inflation, plagues, natural disasters, droughts, disease, floods, fires, earthquakes, and famine. No one knows what tomorrow will bring, but as the world grows darker, we must show the light of Jesus more.
