How do we know, from the Bible, that America as we know it, is over?

Talking about and imagining a bright future for a country that has murdered over 60 million innocent babies is a pipe dream. And there’s no talk about concern to right this wrong. There is clearly no repentance. Yes trump is a better choice and yet God is holy and just and judgment is coming.

Jeremiah 18

“At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8  If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. 11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. 12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart. …” 

Americans have been sowing to the wind for multiplied decades now.

What we are seeing is regrettably is the reaping of judgment right. The initial sins of Sodom led to their total destruction (Ezekiel 16:49-51). Romans 1 also right? You know I was in school in the 70’s and 80’s and can remember as average American kids how we were very rebellious against authority and that which was right. In big part that was infused in us via the rock bands.  The rock bands of the 60’s is a wave of evil brought in by satanists, verified, documented and it was all downhill from there. The bands were nearly all satanists. Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin owned an occult shop in England. This information is readily available on any search engine. I read a fully documented book in the 80’s which marked all the details of how the most popular rock bands were made popular by Satan when they bowed the knee to worship him.

“Led Zeppelin was one of my favorite groups. And their music was infiltrated into my mind and heart. My mantra was ‘don’t tell me what to do.’ How much more rebellious can you get then that statement? And consequently I ran my life right into the ground. After the LORD saved me music was one of first things to go. And the Lord has been pulling out and smashing my rebellious nature. Giving me my new nature in Him so I can obey His commands. And now my new mantra is ‘Yes Jesus send me I will go.’ Hallelujah!” Karen Cochran

As the true saying goes, “Normal isn’t coming back but Jesus is!”

“Great podcast! So true! America is under judgment! When we have pride month and many churches join in and celebrate too. And they flaunt their sin and the rainbow flag in the Lord’s face. We have become Sodom and Gomorrah! I wonder how long Lord?” Karen

Recently Rob Anderson posted the following:

“Don’t Worry Everyone I’m Sure We Can Vote Our Way Out Of This 🤦‍♂️ 🤣“

CAN America make a comeback?

Only if God’s people, those claiming to be His, truly repent (2 Chronicles 7:14-15). When, with no exception, someone truly repents, they OBEY God (Matthew 3:7-10, etc.). Those who are Christ’s are about the “Father’s business,” they are daily engaged in the Great Commission mandate of Christ (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 2:49; 24:47; Acts, etc.).

Why did Sodom and Gomorrah go down? What were the sins of Sodom that God cited as the reasons He rained down fire and brimstone upon them?

See Ezekiel 16:49-51.

“Just like with the rebellious Israelites throughout the Old Testament, God is allowing us to go into bondage to bring us to true repentance…” Nancy Toebe Major

PFA = Pride, Fulness of Bread, and Abundance of idleness.

The Sins of Sodom:

Sins Jerusalem cited for in Ezekiel 16:49-51:

“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good. 51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.” Ezekiel 16:49-51 

  • Pride (arrogance),
  • Fulness of Bread (gluttony, hoarding),
  • Abundance of Idleness (idle, lazy),
  • did not help those in need due to preoccupation with self-worship (not generous in spreading God’s wealth to His people and work)
  • haughty
  • committed abomination (fornication)

AND you think a sinner who bows to Mary statues is going to save this nation? THAT’s the problem – sin and the blindness it brings – due to loving darkness rather than light, refusal to truly repent (John 3:19-21). God sees it all including the 60 million innocent babies America has murdered while professing “Christians” live for the next thrill, self-indulgence. The people pretending to be Christ’s are exactly who 2 Timothy 3:1-13 is speaking of. They have a mere “form of godliness” and yet are “lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;”

Those executing Christ’s Great Commission mandate can be viewed, seen as His true remnant. Everyone else is a counterfeit who lives to further self-indulge in this sinful world. They alone prove to be about the “Father’s business” which means they truly follow Jesus, they live crucified with Him – to serve, honor, worship, and obey their KING (Matthew 7:21; Luke 2:49).

Nothing is going to save America from the same sins and destruction that its sister Sodom perpetrated against Heaven.

JUST WHAT sins led Sodom to destruction? And sexual sin is barely if at all referred to in the list….

“Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.” Proverbs 21:13

People who turn away their ears and eyes from the cries of the poor, hide their eyes from those in need, prove they are lukewarm at best, not trusting God, and what does that mean of their future? They shall be spued, vomited, rejected (Revelation 3:15-16).

“Oh but brother, you are making me feel guilty.” Good “godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation” (2 Corinthians 7:10). Now you are playing the victim? Maybe you will repent before it’s too late, right? Maybe you will get right with God for real and therefore begin thinking about others, not yourself (1 Corinthians 10:24; Philippians 2:3-5). When God forgives us at the instant of rendered repentance, He refreshes us and begins removing the stony places of our hearts and granting a heart of flesh (Acts 3:19; Ezekiel 36:24-26).

“Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.” 1 Corinthians 10:24 

The Father and Jesus gave all to save the world, to save sinners (Luke 19:10; 1 Timothy 1:15; 2:4-6). In following Jesus, this is what we must do – to give, to unleash all that He’s put into our hands to see that the world around us hears His saving Gospel (John 15:13)!

And we wonder why America is over? So many would rather waste money for frivolity than to use it as a tool to bless.

Same sins as Sodom and Gomorrah ….. PFA and “neither did she strengthen (help) the hand of the poor and needy.”

America, Americans professing to be Christ’s have squandered their “freedom” to relish, to ruin, to over self-indulge in this world, the pleasures of this fleeting sinful world. As their incomes, their earthly treasure grew, they increased their standard if living and not their standard of giving.

WHY does God give wealth?

“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18

“Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.” Ephesians 4:28

God is watching the way each person is stewarding the resources He has and is affording them to tend to in this life (Mark 12:41-44). He will bring us into full accountability (Matthew 25:14-30).

“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love SERVE ONE ANOTHER.” Galatians 5:13

True followers of Jesus “serve one another” with what God gives them. They don’t use their wealth to emulate, to sin by exalting themselves using that fleeting wealth.

“As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.” 1 Peter 2:16

The very sins committed by the people of Sodom before God destroyed that city, were being committed by the LORD’s professing people in Ezekiel’s day, and are today being committed by those claiming to know the LORD in our day.

Read Jeremiah 18 concerning nations.

“7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
8  If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
9  And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10  If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.” Jeremiah 18:7-10

Here’s how we learn.

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” Romans 15:4

Learning from and lining up all things with the written Word. Those who don’t, will perish. What is Paul referring to here?

“Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.”  1 Corinthians 10:11

America is over as we know it. Trump is not the answer. God is. And among other sins, America has murdered over 60 million innocent babies.

ALL who refuse to follow God’s stated order, who go the way of the world instead of the WORD, will be destroyed – they are rebels (Hosea 4:6).

“I know this world is not my home and am but a stranger and a pilgrim here (Hebrews 11:10, 13), and fully intend by God’s grace to be about our Father’s work. And yes, it is hard to watch this present world falling apart and admit and berate myself for the tug of wanting to live a Norman Rockwell life even in the midst of gross sin and evil. But since I don’t want to turn into a pillar of salt (be destroyed for looking back), I believe we can take into account the lamentation of Jesus over Jerusalem before her complete destruction (Matthew 23:37).  And yet, it had to happen. The Old Covenant had to come to an end before the New and better Covenant was revealed.” DL

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6

We’ve always had access to the Bible, which is God’s Word. Yet we rejected it for religious teaching from mere men. We traded divine truth for psychobabble, sitcoms, and rock bands (music), and now we are seeing the judgment coming to fruition.

Why do we have the Bible?

“Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” 1 Corinthians 10:11

So the things recorded in the Bible, God’s Word, which happened to His people Israel, were by divine inspiration recorded for us – so we can learn from them.

“Those who don’t study and know history, are bound to repeat it.” unknown

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9

1. Those who claim to be God’s people are not carrying out the Great Commission Jesus commanded.

Today we have professing “Christians” who preach Trump and the Republican party and yet you will never hear them preach Jesus – because they don’t know Him.

Jesus Speaks…….. watch exactly WHO the the Son of God/Bible says are really saved…. which means the vast majority of professing “Christians” are Hell bound….

“Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: 9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.” Luke 12:8-9

ALL who do not confess Jesus to others prove they are ashamed of Him and will perish in the flames of hell. Counterfeits. – “trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;”

“These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you (they pretend to be one of the saved), feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;” Jude 12

The reason America will not be saved is due to the rebellion of those who claim to be Christ’s trying to save America instead of obeying Jesus and seeking to see the lost saved to Him.

What is it that we don’t understand about “Go ye”?

Have you noticed that the more people seek to save America, the deeper the country declines?

The truth must be told.

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.” Acts 17:30

God’s people, those who claim to be His, those once saved (in the past) by Him…. Have not and are not repenting. If they were repenting, they’d be about the “Father’s business” which has at its heart, His Great Commission. But instead, most are seeking to patch up a sinking ship. This is why there are millions of dollars flowing into endeavors such as Jay Sekulow, Turning Point USA with Charlie Kirk, etc., …none of which are executing Christ’s Great Commission command.

WHOSE business are you about – the Father’s or your own? (Luke 2:49; Matthew 6:24)

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28-18-20

“15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” Mark 16:15-20

“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke 24:47

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:2

Christ commanded His own to “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).

Are you personally participating or are you in rebellion?

“for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.” Romans 14:10

The Great Commission Jesus gave – and is holding you personally accountable to participate in.

Hoarding God’s Resources is Sin

“There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.” Proverbs 11:24-26

In the days of Haggai the prophet, etc., the unchanging God allowed His people to experience His hand of judgment (redemptive withdrawal) diminishing returns, a destroyed economy, poverty, pain, etc., due to their refusal to put Him first, literally. Anyone claiming to be Christ’s and does not put Him, His work, His Great Commission mandate, first, demonstrates his rebellion, proves to be a Hell bound hypocrite, tare, counterfeit.

“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16

“He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” 1 John 2:4-6

HOW did Jesus “walk” while on earth?

“Wist (knew) ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” Luke 2:49

“Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” John 5:19

Jesus came to do the will of the Father and all who are truly known of Him do the same.

“Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels … 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:41, 45-46

Instead of giving to God’s people and work, we have millions of fake “Christians” who give to band aid organizations that are not teaching the Word, preaching the Gospel – which Jesus commanded His people to do and is holding us accountable to do (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:47; 2 Timothy 4:2, etc.). Giving money to, supporting organizations and their human icons who go around answering the political questions of the day, is NOT supporting the Great Commission Jesus gave. Those organizations are not preaching the Word. At best they mention “God” here and there but in their actions they deny Him and yet rake in hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

What did the unchanging God tell us in 2 Chronicles 7:14-15 concerning healing any nation, land?

“Jesus must be our first love! We must be willing to forsake all including our wretched selves! Or the door will be shut. And Jesus will say ‘I know you not!'” Karen Cochran

2. Destruction of the God-Ordained Family Unit

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalms 11:3

As the family unit goes, so goes the nation.

“God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.” Psalms 68:6

America is over due to this – due to the destruction of the nuclear family unit, which is the foundation for any people (Psalms 11:3; 68:6). Even those who claim to be Christians have sought and bought the world’s goods, rejecting Christ by rejecting what His Word plainly states, lays out (2 Timothy 3:16-17). When He was upon His earth, dwelling among us, Jesus taught that any house (nation or individual) not built on the bedrock of obeying God’s Word/instructions/edicts, is on sinking sand (Matthew 7:19-29).

The destruction of the family unit, as GOD defines it – one man, one woman, and children TOGETHER – is the destruction of a nation! (Genesis 1:26-28; Psalms 11:3; 68:6; 1 Timothy 5:14, etc.)

Moving to Mexico makes me think back to previous decades in America where young couples were getting together, marrying, having precious babies and raising/training them up together. Now, from birth little girls are taught to hate, to compete with, and that they are better than boys/men. It’s over. This is all it takes to destroy a nation. Satan attacks the human race via the woman/female and has not changed (1 Corinthians 10:13; 2 Corinthians 2:11).

In this passage, Matthew 7:19-29, Christ teaches that the foundation is only built by obedience to His Word and not just mental ascent to it. Without obeying God’s Word, the individual, the nation is built on sinking sand and it’s only a matter of time before the bottom falls out, before erosion gives way to the avalanche of judgment.

Knowing the truth in your mind will not make you free. Knowing and obeying it will make you free (John 8:31-32).

When you see a nation without men and women coming together in holy matrimony, without one man and one woman marrying and having babies – you are witnessing a nation that is on its last leg, is going down, due to having no foundation.

In contrast, when you see a nation that has strong familial bonds, you see a nation that is on a solid foundation. Whatever else they may be, they for sure have this essential component in place and are on solid ground, sound footing for the future.

This disciple now lives in Mexico and it is so very refreshing to see young couples with children. Women who are delightsome, not fighting to be the boss, and submitted to their husbands. It is a blessing to see young couples loving each other and heading toward marriage. It’s everywhere. What does this guarantee? it assures the future of this country. Oh and unlike America, the government here is not attacking the family institution from every angle. In fact, there’s no indication that the Mexican government is attacking the family at all here. They are honoring the family unit. This ensures the future of this nation at this time.

Praying for Our Families

“…and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”  Acts 16:30-31

“‘…and thy house’. O, LORD, please be gracious to fulfil the latter promise of Acts 16:31 in this, your servant’s house, in Jesus name I pray with an expectant heart full of the joy of the Lord! For with God nothing shall be impossible. -Luke 1:37; 18:27. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God, that takes away my sin, and removes my heart of stone: giving me an heart of flesh. Selah. Sing praises, O my soul, to God: the most High!” Jon Crane

SUMMATION

REASONS WE KNOW AMERICA IS OVER

America’s day in the sun is over. Those who claim to represent Jesus have sinned away from grace –  eating, drinking, making merry while living unto themselves, caring not at all about those who are poor, about fulfilling Christ’s Great Commission command. American “Christians” are Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22).

IN AMERICA millions of professing “Christians” give to fund political organizations instead of the Great Commission given by the One they claim as Savior (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20).

These ease loving Laodicean “Christians” are fighting to restore life back to how it was so that they can go back to living as did those who soon after were drowned and are still burning in Hell 5,000 years later….

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” Matthew 24:37-42

They are fighting to maintain their liberty to live out their own lusts. They refuse to be bothered or inconvenienced with the life and mission of Christ. This is exactly why God judged, pulled His blessings from Israel in the days of Haggai the prophet. Read Haggai. THIS is exactly what is transpiring in America.

America’s Path to Destruction According to Holy Scripture [podcast]


Sadly, so many today, who claim to be Christians, spend more time, money, and energy seeking to save the sinking ship called America (a corporation under which they are slaves) than they do obeying Christ’s Great Commission command to teach His Word and preach the Gospel to the lost (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20). They have chosen America over the LORD (Matthew 6:24; 12:30). So very man “church” members and yet Jesus Christ is not their “first love.” (Revelation 2:4-5) Patriotism is their idol, vainly believing they can vote away divine judgment. Most of their time, money, and energy is wasted on the futility of the temporal. Nothing will save America – no campaign, political party, voting block, or otherwise. God is judging America. It’s over as we once knew it.

God judges nations and has a timing, a frame of time, an “instant” including a beginning and ending point, where He judges nations (Jeremiah 18:7). And America is under His judgment, and it going to get much worse (Jeremiah 18).

America is under Divine Judgment

“This is exactly where we are! Things are about to wax worse and worse in this country! Jesus warned us a greater tribulation is coming (Mat 24:21). This world is becoming darker and darker. It will be a challenge to all who put their faith in Christ. Will our faith stand in the midst of severe persecution (1 Peter 1:6-9)? God will try it in the fire, subjecting it to intense heat. The ultimate goal is to purge out all unbelief and impurities. The genuineness of our faith can only be proved in the fire. During hard times of tribulations the lukewarm will drift away, but genuine faith will endure! And the reward will be final salvation (Mat 24:13).” Karen Cochran

The ultimate reason America is being destroyed is not, as some imagine, due to “bad leadership.” No. America is being destroy from within and without due to the rebellion of its people – the sin against God and refusal to repent. Read Jeremiah 18 and Isaiah 1.

Destruction Comes when leaders are allowed to pervert justice!

“The heads (leaders) thereof judge for reward (take bribes), and the priests (religious leaders) thereof teach for hire, and the prophets (religious leaders) thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. 12  Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.” Micah 3:11-12

Government Servants and Bribes

“The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts (bribes) overthroweth it.” Proverbs 29:4

Inflation Revelation 6

“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” Revelation 6:6

Excessive Inflation is judgment.

“They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.” Ezekiel 7:19

Timeline of Impending Doom

Someone is saying “But brother I’ve been listening to dreams and prophecies people are getting about our nation.”

Our hearts can deceive us (Proverbs 28:26; Jeremiah 17:9). We can only be fully “sure” by reading, studying, and knowing the “MORE SURE WORD of prophecy” which is the Holy Scriptures (2 Peter 1:19-21).

“God’s judgment is upon America. We have become Sodom’s sister (Ezekiel 16:46). It’s pride that has rooted itself in the hearts of the American people. And what brings destruction upon nations? Pride! Those who love Him will be looking for a new heaven and a new earth. This world is not our home.” Karen Cochran

THE DISCIPLE OF JESUS SHOULD VIEW HISTORY, INCLUDING WHERE A NATION STANDS THIS DAY, BY “THE MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY” WHICH IS THE HOLY SCRIPTURES (Isaiah 46:9-10; 57:15; Romans 15:4; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

Looking at the USA through the lens of Scripture is what is important. We have murdered over 60 million precious innocent babies and called it “choice” but God calls it murder and commands us “Thou not kill.” (Exodus 20:13). The US is over and has been for a long time, as we once knew it. Military men: This isn’t the same USA you and I both signed up to serve. This isn’t the same USA we were born and raised in.

This list of sins in the above passage begins with these 3:

PFA = Pride, Fulness of Bread, and Abundance of idleness.

The Sins of Sodom:

Sins Jerusalem cited for in Ezekiel 16:49-51:

  • Pride (arrogance),
  • Fulness of Bread (gluttony, hoarding),
  • Abundance of Idleness (idle, lazy),
  • did not help those in need due to preoccupation with self-worship (not generous in spreading God’s wealth to His people and work)
  • haughty
  • committed abomination (rampant fornication – just as in the days leading up to the Noahic flood. See Genesis 6)

In the bulleted sins listed above from this revealing Ezekiel 16 passage, did you notice the progression?

Though it culminated in sodomy, yet not one sex sin is even specifically mentioned in this list of Sodom’s sins in Ezekiel 16. Does this not align perfectly with the judgment we see in Romans 1, how “when they knew God, they glorified him not as God” and were unthankful, further enriching themselves while they ignored others?

“Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful (they were ungrateful); but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” Romans 1:21

A fresh reading of Romans 1 reveals the root sins that preceded the sexual sins which immediately go before divine judgment. See Romans 1:18-32.

The sins that darken the hearts of those who once “knew God” and lead to the ultimate abomination of sodomy/homosexuality are pride, gluttony, idleness, and refusing to be generous givers to believers in need, etc.

Let’s Look Again at the Root, the Gateway Sins of the People of Sodom and Gomorrah:

PFA listed in Ezekiel 16:49-51:

  • Pride (arrogance),
  • Fulness of Bread (gluttony),
  • Abundance of Idleness (idle, lazy),
  • Like the fake religionists priest and Levite of Jesus’ Good Samaritan teaching, they did not help those in need due to preoccupation with self-worship (not generous in spreading God’s wealth to His people and work)

“The deceptions are growing stronger and becoming greater in number, leading us to the ultimate deception which is the antichrist! Beware, that if possible even the elect will be deceived (Mat 24:24). See 1 Corinthians 10:12.

“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”

“America’s root sin is pride. They call us the greatest country on earth. We celebrate gay pride. American’s trust in their pride. We have pushed God out of every part of society, yet still believe in our pride, He is blessing us, because after all, we are the greatest country on earth! We are arrogant and boastful in the power of our own might. Trump has recently built a golden alter to himself and I have seen some pastor’s bowing down. We no longer fear God! God’s judgment is falling, from heaven, upon us! He will spare a remnant just as he always promised in the OT! Faithful believer’s who only bow to Him, seeking His face, keeping themselves unspotted from the world, and remaining pure and clean. Those are His true remnant will be given the fountain of life and never thirst again (Rev 21:6).” Karen Cochran

HERE’S WHAT BEING FULFILLED, WHAT’S COMING TO PASS RIGHT NOW

“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:10-14

In the midst of the prophesied great apostasy we are in, Christ’s Remnant are…

  • Waxing hotter in their love for God v12
  • Enduring to the end v13
  • Preaching Christ’s kingdom Gospel to the lost v14

America is Under Divine Judgment [podcast]


Chasing the American dream all the way to hell? Are you bowing before your Maker who came and died to save you from sin and this world? Or, are you bowing before “old glory—the red, white, and blue”?

“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Revelation 3:17

Every person reading these very words is making his eternal bed in Heaven or in hell.

“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14

“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16

Those bowed truly before Christ and no idol, are about His “business” which is the Great Commission He gave us! Oh, and He holds you fully accountable to obey, to do it. Read the very end of Matthew and Mark.

If you are not deliberately, integrally involved in the Great Commission mandate Jesus gave His people, you are out of the will of God.

Evangelism! (Mark 16:15-20) Teaching God’s Word (Matthew 28:18-20).

AMERICA’S ENEMY INVASION

In the Bible, we read of how God allowed foreign empires like the Assyrians and Babylonians to invade, conquer, and exile Israel and Judah as a form of divine discipline and covenant judgment for their persistent idolatry, social injustice, and refusal to repent.

The Biblical Framework of Judgment

One source notes:

    • “The Covenant: God made a conditional agreement (covenant) with ancient Israel. Obedience brought protection and blessing; disobedience brought explicit warnings of national defeat and dispersion (e.g., Deuteronomy 28).
    • Using Foreign Nations: Prophets like Isaiah and Habakkuk explain that God sovereignly used ruthless empires (calling Assyria the “rod of my anger”) as instruments of correction against His own unfaithful people.
    • The Limits of Judgment: While God used these empires to punish Israel, the Bible notes He also held those invading nations accountable for their own extreme cruelty, arrogance, and subsequent destruction (e.g., Isaiah 10, Jeremiah 50–51).”

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalms 9:17). America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.

“The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalms 9:16-17

“At what instant” (marked space in time)

It seems God has His timing in judging nations and history records…..

It is more than obvious that America is not repenting. If that’s the case, what future does America have?

Jeremiah 18:7-10

“At what instant (marked place in time) I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.”

How does He judge?

Does He not lift His hand of protection and allow invaders? Read Jeremiah 5-7. This morning as I begin again reading these 3 chapters, what’s happening in America seems to fit for sure. And no president can save America from the LORD’s judgment. The only hope would be the true repentance of the people.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalms 9:17). America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.

What Bible verse or passage comes to your mind when you think of being possessed by an eternal perspective? How about this one?

“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

PRAYER: My Father in Heaven, in the name of Jesus, please imbue this Your vessel with the eternal perspective Your Word communicates. Bless me to be a consummate soul winning person, with my hands gripping the plow of Your Great Commission command. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

“Why would we put our hope in a country that belongs to our arch enemy? (2 Corinthians 4:4). As scripture clearly tells us this earth will vanish like smoke (Isaiah 51:6). We are looking for a new heaven and new earth! (Revelation 21). Where God will dwell among us! We will be His people and drink from the fountain of life forever and ever! That is my hope! Not this wicked fallen world!” Karen Cochran

THE AMERICAN DREAM DELUSION: Are You a “Dream Chaser” or a Jesus Seeker? [podcast]


“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” John 5:30

Jesus didn’t come to the earth to seek His own will or dream His own dreams but rather to do the will of His Father.

“And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” Luke 22:41-42

Christ’s apostle Paul declared:

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14 

Regrettably, in today’s modern church world, we so many who seek their own vision and destiny. They have not yet laid down their lives and so divine grace is not enabling them. There is NO cross. Jesus was fully submitted to His Father whereas most who use these buzz words today are not also preaching the essential cross, the crucified life.

God has given His people dreams since Genesis and still does today (Genesis 37; Acts 2:17, etc.). Yet a dream, in biblical definition, is from the LORD and for His glory and purpose (1 Corinthians 1:29-31). A dream, gift, vision, or prophecy from God is not for the self-serving purposes and agenda of men and women who are not crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20; 1 Peter 4:10-11). Many we see boasting of a dream, gift, or vision today are self-glorying. Beware.

These who chase destiny are missing the cross which is central to the Gospel friend. Running around trying to fulfill our destiny is not of God. Laying down our lives – death and burial – assures us that GOD, not us, is leading and raising us up to do His will.

WHAT I ASKED FOR, by a disciple:

(a slave of righteousness—Romans 6:18)

“I was a sinner deep in darkness. I did not ask to be blessed—but delivered. I did not ask to be a king, for I was a knave (untrustworthy, deceitful). I did not ask to be wealthy and comfortable, but to be delivered. I did not ask to be an elite, I asked to be forgiven and saved. I did not ask to become God’s pampered brat, I asked to be accepted by Him. When He saved me, I did not ask, ‘Lord give me power to work miracles!’ I asked Him to do whatever He desired to do with me. I did not join His team, I fully surrendered to His Lordship. I became a vessel in the hand of the King of kings. I did not ask to be loved, but His love poured into me with joy unspeakable. No matter what life hands me or what people do to or say about me, I got what I asked for. I was once a sinner and now I’m accepted in God’s Beloved (Ephesians 1:6).”

BUZZ WORD ALERT: “God is positioning you!” is the cry of many false prophets who paint an un-biblical picture as they misuse Scripture, taking it out of context – to exploit and give false hope to their prey for their own self-serving purposes (Philippians 3:18-19; 2 Peter 2:1-3). But what is biblical positioning? What is the biblical position on positioning? Did Jesus die on that cross to position you to be rich in this world or the next? (Matthew 6:19-21; Luke 12, 16, etc.) Notice that modern wolves who use this “positioning” buzz word to trick the ungrounded NEVER use this verse below which is paramount to our POSITION with God:

“And hath raised us up together, and made us SIT TOGETHER (our position in Christ!) in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 2:6

Because Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of His Father in Heaven, means that we His beloved blood-bought people are in Him and also positionally seated with Him in glory!

“Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,” Ephesians 1:20

Your position IN CHRIST is the position that anchors your soul in heavenly places IN CHRIST!

Jesus came to die and sent us to die and if we don’t we are not following Him (Luke 9:23-24). Seeking our own destiny is the antitheses of dying – it’s Christ-denying and completely self-serving.

Tracking the destruction of people and nations. History sure is repeating itself, but is it repeating itself in our lives?

Regardless of where we are personally in this, we must be transformed out of a worldly mindset and into kingdom thinking (Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:23-24). Some who have resources in this world believe this makes them rich. Not. Proverbs 13:17. Some who have little in this world suffer the distress of thinking that means they are not important. Not. Learn what Jesus means in Luke 12:15. Here are several resources on learning a kingdom mindset in the biblical doctrine of stewardship. Please share this post.

The Prosperity of Fools | Wealth Wasted on the Worship of Self | Seeking God

It’s essential to remain in and with God’s Word and feeding His sheep, remaining steadfast, soundly grounded in divine truth and not be swept away with the spurious and grossly overplayed dreams and visions of mere men and their end times scenarios, ministries, etc. Hysteria fills the hearts of so many professing Christians who jump from one prophetic word, dream teller, story teller to another (2 Timothy 4:2-4). This keeps them suspended instead of grounded in Christ.

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;” Ephesians 4:11-14

There are many who make merchandize of the people (2 Peter 2:1-3). They seem to throw out one dream, vision, or prophetic word after another. It’s essential to remain in and with God’s Word and feeding His sheep, remaining steadfast, soundly grounded in divine truth and not be swept away with the spurious, fabricated, sensationalized, and grossly overplayed dreams and visions of mere men and their end times scenarios, ministries, etc. A key component of discernment would be to reflect on whether the messenger is actually getting directly into the literal Scriptures.

Hysteria fills the hearts of so many professing Christians who jump from one prophetic word, dream teller, story teller to another (2 Timothy 4:2-4). This keeps them suspended instead of grounded in Christ.

“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:17-18

“But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:” Jeremiah 9:14

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets (false leaders) that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth (written Word) of the LORD.” Jeremiah 23:16

“I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;” Jeremiah 23:25-26 

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4
