THESIS: To reveal how America has broken all Ten Commandments & is being judged by God.
INTRO.:
A. God made a contract with Israel. Israel broke every part of that contract. The principles behind this contract (the Ten Commandments) hold true for any nation. America’s former greatness was based upon her obedience to her commitment to the Creator. Our text is one of the greatest prophetical passages in God’s Word.
QUOTES: ⭐George Washington in his farewell address said: “Religion and morality are at the heart of true patriotism, and essential to our national survival.” ⭐John Adams, our 2nd Pres. Said: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.” ⭐James Madison, our 4th Pres. agreed: “The belief in a God all powerful, wise and good, is essential to the moral order of the world and to the happiness of man.” 💥By ignoring these great leaders we have become a secularized society and are morally bankrupt.
B. Israel broke her contract with God and America has done the same. 💥As judgment fell on Israel, judgment is falling on America. 💥America, like the Medes & the Persians of Daniel’s day has been “weighed in the balances and found wanting.” 💥The “handwriting is on the wall!” All semblance of morality, measured by the God’s Word, has been abandoned. 💥The prophecies concerning America and other nations who abandon God are clearer than a cloudless day in western Montana.
Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Jeremiah 18:9-10 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.
I. AMERICA HAS A NEW DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE:
A. America Has Declared Her Independence from God!
1. As we once declared our independence from England and the nations of Europe, we have now done the same with the Lord and His Word. 2. We have abandoned the God of the Bible and substituted the “god of this world!”
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
NOTE: 👉Our present President said that “America is no longer a Christian nation!” 👉We have taken the Bible and every mention of the God of the King James Bible and Christ out of nearly every facet of public life. 👉We can no longer pray in public “in Jesus name!” 👉We have even changed “A.D.” (Anno Domini – the year of our Lord) to “C.E.” (the Christian Era and then quietly changed that to the Common Era!).
👉So-called “fundamentalists” (believing in 5, or 7 or 12 “fundamentals”) have spawned Neo-Evangelicals which in turn have watered down God’s Word or replaced it with some NIV (Non-Inspired Version – Are YOU NIV positive?!) or other “bible.” 👉Former “Bible Believers” have become “fundamentalists” and are rejecting the King James Bible! 👉Is God dead? Did He quit “breathing”?! 2 Tim. 3:15,16
3. Remember the first characteristic of Satan mentioned in the Bible was his subtlety and the first question in the Bible was asked by him to throw doubt on God’s Word: “yea, hath God said?” 4. America has adopted the doctrine of evolution and rejected the Bible doctrine of creation by joining forces with all atheists, Communists, Muslims, liberal Protestants, Catholics, humanists, and religious leaders in rejecting Genesis 1 & 2!
NOTE: It’s all about independence from God, so no one is accountable! But the Book still declares: “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment!” Heb. 9:27
II. AMERICA HAS A NEW CONSTITUTION:
A. Instead of “We the People” it’s Preamble Begins with “We the Government”
1. Many of the leaders in Washington, D.C. are not just liberals, they are socialists. 2. Socialism is the centralization of government powers over the citizens.
ILLUS.:You have no doubt heard of Waco and Ruby Ridge where unarmed women and children were killed by our Government, but you probably missed this little item! 📣“On Monday, December 1, (2008) a SWAT team with semi-automatic rifles entered the private home of the Stowers family in LaGrange, Ohio, herded the family onto the couches in the living room, and kept guns trained on grandparents, their daughter-in-law (whose husband is currently serving as a U.S. Navy Seabee in Iraq), their children and grandchildren for four hours. 📣The team was aggressive and belligerent. The children were quite traumatized. 📣At some point, the “bad cop” SWAT team was relieved by another team, a “good cop” team that tried to befriend the family.
✨The Stowers family has run a very large, well-known food cooperative called Manna Storehouse on the western side of the greater Cleveland area for many years. ✨There were agents from the Department of Agriculture present, one of them identified as Bill Lesho. The search warrant is reportedly suspicious-looking. ✨Agents began rifling through all of the family’s possessions, a task that lasted hours and resulted in a complete upheaval of every private area in the home. ✨Many items were taken that were not listed on the search warrant. ✨The family was not permitted a phone call, and they were not told what crime they were being charged with. ✨They were not read their rights. Over ten thousand dollars worth of food was taken, including the family’s personal stock of food for the coming year. ✨All of their computers, and all of their cell phones were taken, as well as phone and contact records. ✨The food cooperative was virtually shut down. There was no rational explanation, nor justification, for this extreme violation of Constitutional rights.” ✨Presumably Manna Storehouse might eventually be charged with running a retail establishment without a license. ✨Why then the Gestapo-type interrogation for a 3rd degree misdemeanor charge? This incident has raised the ominous specter of a restrictive new era in State regulation and enforcement over the nation’s private food supply.
✨So much for the 4th Amendment to the Constitution dealing with unreasonable search and seizure of private property!
3. Under socialism you are no longer answerable to God, but to Government.
NOTE: Two great truths will determine the future of the U.S. in the coming days: 1️⃣“Those who will not be ruled by God, will be ruled by tyrants.” 2️⃣And “The only thing men learn from history is that men never learn from history.” 🔹Mankind continues to ignore both these maxims. 🔹Socialism has never worked in any country where it has been tried, but man will keep on trying nonetheless!
4. The Freedom of the Press and Religious Freedom guaranteed by the 1st Amendment are being taken away by the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” and Ecumenism. 5. The Right to Bear Arms of the 2nd Amendment is being taken away.
NOTE: The Bible-believers constitution must still be the Bible!
III. AMERICA HAS A NEW BILL OF RIGHTS:
A. These “Rights” are Dictated by Political Correctness, not God’s Word or Common Sense: 1. God expressly condemns racism, homosexuality, bestiality, public nudity, fornication, adultery, and abortion(murder)! Political correctness is an attack on the First Amendment right of freedom of speech.
ILLUS.: 🔹A Christian H.S. graduate, the valedictorian of her class, was not permitted to give her address to her class because she mentioned God and Jesus Christ in the speech. 🔹Preachers are being muzzled against advocating a political candidate, while the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton tour the country doing it! You are in danger of being arrested if you make any negative comments about any of the above in public! 🔹One of the “earmarks” in the trillions of dollars “Economic Stimulus Package” prohibits new churches from renting public school property to get started! These schools are supported by those same tax-paying citizens!!! 3. America now officially stands with Muslims against Israel: a. Our problem is that we misunderstand that Islam is not just a religion it is a political movement. b. Our President said when he was recently in Turkey that America will never war against Islam, thus aiding and abetting the avowed enemies of Israel!
Jeremiah 30:11 For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
CONCL.: 🔶Yes, America has broken her contract with God! She has been “weighed in the balances and found wanting!” The only result will be more and more judgment in America with homosexual weddings, increased Government abetted abortions, and ultimately God’s intervention destroying America! 🔶In the meantime, it behooves every Bible believer to redouble our efforts at winning the lost, supporting the man-of-God He has called to this church, increasing our outreach and our private and public devotion to our Savior. 🔶Believers are the only thing standing between God and His judgment on us and our nation! Will YOU be a part of the problem or a part of the solution?!
