Where are the Americans?
Where is America?
If something doesn’t change soon, it is time to make a name
change. This is not the country through
which God saved the world from absolute tyranny in World War II, the country
that came to the aid of the United Kingdom which was barely hanging on after
Europe itself had fallen to the Third Reich and proceeded to take out the enemy
there while also taking out Japan in the Pacific. This is not the country whose bold stance
and vigilance led to the fall of the Berlin wall and eventually breakup of the
Soviet Union. This is not the country
that stood boldly in support of the tiny nation of Israel as it was bombarded
from all sides for decades. And the list
could go on and on.
Hundreds and thousands of people are being killed….no,
butchered is a better word…in the Middle East and Africa, with smatterings in
other places as the violence threatens and begins to spread. They are killed because they do not fit the
mold of the militant muslim fanatics that operate under many different names
but are the same thing. Some are killed
intentionally because they are Christians.
How do we know? Because the
killers tell us that. It is that simple. School children. Little children. Men and women. Killed for being Christians. And not just killed. Killed in horrible ways I will not recount
here. And others even in the same muslim
false religion are killed because they just don’t adhere to the specific
tenants of the killers. And still others
are killed just for being, to the killers, nonbelievers.
Over and over again.
For years. And the leader of the
US government sits quietly by. He and
his government ignore it. Even when
pressed for a comment, they give minimal words.
And the media for the most part sits quietly by. In their current
confused world, they would rather report on political correctness issues, on
affronts as they see it given by the mass of Americans to various groups. They
don’t want to offend the muslims. But
the muslims aren’t just offending Christians and others. They are killing them! And for the most part Americans go about
their daily routines working and eating and watching TV and sports and cooking
out and such. Interviews that I have
seen show a lack of knowledge of events or the simple naïve concern that this
is all somewhere else.
No, it is not just somewhere else. Has everyone forgotten 9/11? Or the Boston marathon? Or Fort Hood?
Or other such atrocities? And
consider this: Judicial Watch reported
this week that ISIS has a base now in Mexico within 8 miles of El Paso,
Texas. Can you wonder at all why they
are there? Do you think they have any
trouble going back and forth across the porous border of the nation?
So most Americans sit idly by. This is not the country I knew. Let’s face it. It is not what is meant by the word America.
And God of course sees and knows all this. What must he think about the land he so
blessed in its creation and early years?
What kind of a future do you think this land has?
Obviously, it is going to take something greater than just
words and the news to wake up Americans, if they will be waked up. We are so very close to the return of the
Lord. There will be a revival at the end
of this age sometime, although I do not know when or how large. But that clearly will be God’s doing, not
man’s. The American people for the most
part are lost and currently seem incapable of being awakened. Only God can handle such a situation. I just pray he moves quickly.
Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!
