God's Judgment Has Fallen On America

Evil rulers are a judgment from God upon corrupt nations.  Barack Hussein Obama is evil on levels that the normal person cannot even begin to understand.  He is the human representation of ancient evils striving for the soul of not just America but all of Christianity.  He is the servant of the evils that corrupted Sodom and Gomorrah, an adherent of the scimitar wielding, mixed political, social and religious movement that once nearly ruled the world.  His politics are the philosophical product of the darkest tribal hatreds of peoples known for their savagery.  

God has judged America and turned us over to these ancient evils because we are a corrupt nation.  In the last few desperate days of the campaign, GOP pundits, whistling in the dark, predicted a massive Evangelical turnout would save the day and thus save America from what is to come.  And, it would appear that Evangelical voters showed up en masse to try to block what is coming.  But, those Evangelical voters and the  politicians desperately depending upon them to save their cause, forgot one thing.  The election was not in the hands of the easily fooled, ever more compromising Evangelical voter.  Rather, from the beginning, it was in the hands the Evangelicals God who is never fooled by political promises and by His very nature cannot compromise with evil.

For decades, the better voices within the American Evangelical political community have been warning that continued political involvement by the church was not sanctifying the political system but rather polluting and compromising the church.  This was true and born out by last night's events.  Early on, the Evangelicals made a pragmatic political decision to support a candidate who offered them next to nothing because in their eyes the alternative was unthinkable.  However, the God of the Evangelicals has no need to think pragmatically because His will is the law of the universe.  Evangelicals forgot this and did not set up a situation where He could bless their pitiful political endeavors.  God specifically warns us NOT to use pragmatic reasoning when deciding matters of faith and morality.  This excerpt from an excellent sermon (link Here) explains this principle very well:

If you have your Bibles with you today, and I hope you do, turn with me to 2nd Timothy chapter 2 and verse 1. “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. :2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” .... Timothy is told in verse 3, “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.:4 No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier. :5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.”

Verse three means exactly what it says, being a soldier is often a hard situation to be in, and then adds in verse 4, no soldier entangles himself with the affairs of this life, and the word affairs is the Greek word pragmatea. From which we get pragmatic. The daily transactions and ordinary business of life. The same old same old. If you are going to engage in spiritual warfare, you need to realize that doing it in pragmatic, worldly ways is not going to work, all it is going to do is get you entangled with the world and it’s problems.

What happens when we try and use the affairs and methods of the world to do the things of God? If we try and use worldly methods, plans and procedures to accomplish the things of Christ? We waste our time, and the church’s time. Because God won’t have it. It is fleshly works, and God won’t have fleshly works. God does not accept the works of the flesh, He only accepts works which come from the Holy Spirit working in believers. Avoid using worldly shortcuts to spiritual success. It doesn’t work. Using carnal methods to accomplish God’s work, doing spiritual work in the power of the flesh is a total waste of time. A total waste of time.

This morning's Washington Times editorial titled "Four More Years of No Hope" (link Here)  bears this Biblical principal out:

WASHINGTON — All that for nothing. It was the billion-dollar election that did not decide one single damned thing.
Republicans control the House. Democrats control the Senate. And the White House remains in Democratic hands with absolutely no mandate whatsoever.
Another four years with no hope of change.
In this environment with this economy and all the gravely important matters pressing against the very existence of this country, it should have been a tsunami election. It should have been a landslide that sent President Obama into dust heap of failed presidencies. Instead, the election was about Big Bird.
It was the rape election. The contraception election. The binders full of women election.
It was about who was born where and whether she really could claim to be a Cherokee Indian.
It was about former president George W. Bush. And it was about gay marriage.
It was about the 1 percent and the 99 percent and the 47 percent.
It was about dancing freaking horses, for crying out loud!
Just about the only thing the election wasn’t about was the economy, which everyone agrees was the only thing voters actually cared about. People tend to really care about the economy when real unemployment reaches double digits, welfare rolls fatten by one-third, politicians rack up $16 trillion in debt and the largest tax hike in the history of the world looms just weeks away.

Put simply, the Left was true to its principles, campaigned on them and did a better job of convincing a razor slim majority of voters they deserved to win.  The Right, particularly the Evangelical Right, did not campaign on its principles, abandoned their issues to their opposition and hoped that pragmatically encouraging the American people to vote their pocket books alone would save the day.  God does not care about our pocketbooks.  He cares about our souls.  And we, the American Right, abandoned the fight for souls on issues like abortion, homosexuality and Sharia law.  Is it any wonder God turned us over to a despicable, evil ruler for another four years?

So, what do we have to look foward to?  Valerie Jarrett, the presidential adviser widely known as the brains behind Obama said this (link Here) just a few days ago:

After we win this election, it's our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us
is against us and they better be ready because we don't forget. The ones who
helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve.
There is going to be hell to pay. Congress won't be a problem for us
this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges
ready to go."

A wonderful old man of God named E.V. Hill once said, "When God sends tribulation children, you had better learn how to tribulate."  That's pretty good advice at 5:00 A.M. this 7th day of November, 2012.  Rudyard Kipling was the poet laureate of the British Empire at the height of its power.  And yet, in the midst of its glory and power he also saw the seeds of its decline and penned these immortal words:

Recessional

BY RUDYARD KIPLING

1897

God of our fathers, known of old, 

Lord of our far-flung battle-line, 

Beneath whose awful Hand we hold

Dominion over palm and pine—

Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, 

Lest we forget—lest we forget!

The tumult and the shouting dies;

The Captains and the Kings depart: 

Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,

An humble and a contrite heart.

Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, 

Lest we forget—lest we forget!

Far-called, our navies melt away;

On dune and headland sinks the fire: 

Lo, all our pomp of yesterday

Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! 

Judge of the Nations, spare us yet, 

Lest we forget—lest we forget!

If, drunk with sight of power, we loose 

Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe, 

Such boastings as the Gentiles use,

Or lesser breeds without the Law—

Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,

Lest we forget—lest we forget!

For heathen heart that puts her trust 

In reeking tube and iron shard,

All valiant dust that builds on dust,

And guarding, calls not Thee to guard, 

For frantic boast and foolish word—

Thy mercy on Thy People, Lord!

May God have mercy on us through what is to come.
