God is good. His wrath, His anger, his revenge are only appearances when we see the consequences of evil heaped up on a rebellious nation.
A people, a community, a nation inflicts upon themselves consequences of their own course of action, i.e., for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. It’s a law. The law of the harvest is a people reap what they sow. If we sow evil, we shall reap evil in abundance. But, God’s mercies endures for ever. God is good to everyone and not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance…for their OWN GOOD.
Isa 1:
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Such is not a good outcome for a nation that has sown division, rancor amid so much sin and evil. The Word of God says that Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. It further states that The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. It appears that we, as a nation, have thrown the law of God into a trash heap and have forgotten the image of the ten commandments above the entrance to the Supreme Court, to do them.
Sin begets insanity and madness. Eccl 9:3,
“This is an EVIL among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and (insanity) madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.” (Parenthesis are mine.)
Whatever calamity comes upon our beloved nation, let none of us say that this-or-that is what God has done to us. Our Good Lord God has done us no evil but is always willing to deliver us from the consequences of or own evil way if we will but turn back to him in repentance of our wickedness.
Yet, we have chosen our own evil way. At this point in our history, deliverance from evil consequences will be an absolute divine intervention from heaven, should it come at all. God showed mercies and deliverance for Israel time after time and did not allow the evil to come upon them that should have come as a course of consequences because he remembered his friend Abraham.
God is looking to His friends in America. Are there any here? Will they prevail on God as did both Abraham and Moses before him? Let us pray and seek the face of God, perchance he will show his mercies upon us and deliver us from evil consequences.
