"And there shall be signs in the sun, and the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."Luke 21:25-28
God has given America over to a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28) pre-marital sex (fornication), prostitution, nude bars, homosexuality, pornography, transexuals, adultery, gay marriages, incest, murders, rapes, robberies, pedophiles, abortion, and wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12) All being glamorized and many becoming legal rights. In the end these things will ultimately accomplish destruction, death, and the judgment of God on this nation.
The Lord says in Jeremiah 5:9 "Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
On June 17, 1963, the Supreme Court of our nation made a drastic decision to take bible reading and prayer out of our schools. The greatest problems in school at that time was passing notes, chewing gum, and talking in class. By the 1990's, the greatest problems are assault on teachers, rape, bringing guns to school, teen pregnanancy and sexually transmitted diseases. (Deuteronomy 32:20). This is what happens when you take Jesus out of the lives of our children!
On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court made aborting of babies a constitutional right. In America, 1.5 million babies are aborted every year. Approximately 13,000 of these babies are aborted in the third trimester!! With all the children that this country has slaughtered in the womb, the small voice of their spilled blood must be a constant crying to Jesus. Their voices cry out for righteous judgment! Isaiah 59:7 speaks clearly "Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths." The Lord is clear that He will judge this nation for the murdering of our children. "Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land..." (Ezekiel 36:18) "And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate to the end that they might know that I am the Lord." (Eze 20:26)
Just 11 months after the Supreme Court ruled on abortion, the American Psychiatric Association issued a paper that stated homosexuality was no longer to be considered a mental disorder. Prior to 1973, homosexuality was categorized as a sexual deviation. They also stated that all laws against homosexuality should be lifted and that civil laws should be issued protecting the rights of these Sodomites! By the 1990's, homosexuals were demanding the rights to adopt children and have same sex marriages. In 1995 the National Teachers Association designated October as gay/lesbian history month and it is to be observed by every school in this nation. Homosexuality may no longer be considered a disorder but I can guarantee that in the eyes of the Lord it is still a sin!! "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination." (Lev. 18:22) But our nation did not hearken unto His words, so "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, burned in their lust one toward another..." (Romans 1:26-27) The Lord states clearly "Defile not yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants" (Lev. 18:24-25). "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." (Jude 1:7) But instead, America relishes in its sin "Who knowing the judgment of God; that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." (Romans 1:32)
"A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth." (Jeremiah 25:31,32) Because "Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy them; I am weary with repenting." (Jer. 15:6)

When will this nation repent of its abominations? How long does the Lord have to be merciful? How disappointed He must be in a nation that was once founded on His word but now loves lies more than truth. "Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord..." (Isaiah 1:4)
Americans have nobody to blame except themselves when destruction cometh! "Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart." (Jer. 4:18) "Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." (Gal. 6:6) "And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far..." (Isaiah 10:3) For this is a nation void of understanding "O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!" (Deu. 32:27) Because "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." (Psa 9:17)
