Has The
Time Come For Judgment On America?
by Tom
Wacaster
No nation in the history of
this world has been as richly blessed as the United States of America. God has turned the horn of plenty upside
down upon our heads. For more than
230 years we have enjoyed unparalleled prosperity, freedom, and world-wide
influence. I believe I can
say without fear of contradiction that the Lord’s church in America over the
last two centuries has done more to spread the gospel world wide than any other
single nation during the same time frame. For decades we have enjoyed
the highest concentration of New Testament Christians anywhere upon the face of
the earth. It was estimated that
during the late 1700’s and early 1800’s that between one third and one fourth of
our citizenry were members of the church of Christ. The nation was a shining light of
democracy to those men and women who longed to be free. At the same time, and certainly more
importantly, the Lord’s church was a shining light of salvation to those lost in
sin and longing for forgiveness.
Four or five decades ago the churches of Christ were the fastest growing
religious group in America.
Souls were heeding the gospel’s call; the church was growing; and God was
continuing to bless America. We may
very well have reached the peek of America’s greatness and the growth of the
Lord’s church in our country sometime during the mid to late 60’s.
The last four decades has
seen a decline in America’s greatness.
And while she remained militarily strong, and economically sound, within
she was dying. The sexual
revolution of the late 60’s brought about a “new morality” that set men free (so
they thought) from rules and regulations of Bible thumping evangelists. That rejection of heaven’s moral code
opened the door, and evolution and humanism rushed in to fill the gap of moral
emptiness that developed in the 70’s and 80’s. The Bible was stripped from our
public schools, religion increasingly became less popular and the baby boomer
generation put God on the back burner in their mad rush for more earthly
comforts. Crass materialism
became the order of the day. Women entered
the work force in large numbers so as to provide even more “things” that satisfy
the flesh. Slowly at
first, and more rapidly with the turn of the century, our families began to
crumble. The divorce rate increased
at an alarming rate. Children
were sacrificed on the altar of greed as parents shuffled their little ones off
to some Day Care Center not because the family was in dire straits, but because
a larger house, better clothes, the latest electronic gadgets, faster cars, and
more and more exciting entertainment kept pressing upon our increasingly secular
and materialistic society.
Meanwhile there was this gnawing feeling among the citizens that this
country was not going in the right direction. Things were broken but nobody knew
how to fix the problem. With the
exception of a few brief moments of reprieve, we rushed headlong toward the
precipice that now confronts us.
Godly men and women have been asking, “When is God going to render
judgment upon America?” Less
than two years ago I answered that question with the following: “God is rendering judgment on America
right now. He is screaming at us to repent or suffer the consequence of every
other nation that has gone the way of godless societies.” I fear that God’s patience
has run out and applying the words of the prophet to our time and circumstance,
“ America, prepare to meet thy God.”
I am not speaking of the
financial crisis, though that in and of itself is enough to bring us to
ruin. A nation can survive a
financial crisis if her foundations are strong and her trust is in God. Unfortunately our citizenry no longer
has the spiritual strength to endure a plunge into economic chaos. She has become weak, imbibing the
philosophy of the world to the extent that she winks at abortion, tolerates and
promotes homosexuality, and ignores the moral inequities of our leaders. She no longer has the basis to survive
something akin to the Great Depression of the 1930’s. Meanwhile, lurking in
the dark shadows is something of far greater concern to this scribe than the
economic “crisis” we face.
Half of our nation cannot discern what is happening in this election
process currently under way.
Literally half of our nation has been so enamored with Senator Obama that
they either do not care or cannot see that the Democratic candidate poses one of
the greatest threats to our way of life. The real story of Barack
Obama is gradually coming to light, and the more we hear about him, the more
frightening it becomes. Here is a
man who has associated with the darker side of our society for decades. Names such as Wright, Acorn,
Ayers, and Rezo belong to an element that hates America, hates God, hates
capitalism, hates freedom and hates moral codes and ethical responsibility. These are the associates of Barak
Obama. Were that not enough,
information is just now coming to light (Wednesday, October 8) that Senator
Obama has connections with Muslim terrorists in Kenya; that he has aligned
himself with radical terrorists who sought to overthrow the Kenyan government
and replace it with a socialist, Muslim government. Here is a man that has used his power
and influence in Washington to encourage, and even instruct a radical Muslim
element in Kenya on how to disrupt elections and oppose the will of the
people. Senator Obama
has studied well the policies of communist organizer Alyinsky, and is now
putting those policies of aggressiveness into action so as to squelch the will
of the people here in America and obtain the highest office in our land by hook
or crook.
There is so much more that
could be said about the man that is dangerously close to becoming the leader of
the free world, but I think most of my readers know of these things, though they
were done in a corner and every effort has been made to cover up the details of
this man’s history. If this
man is elected to the Presidency of this nation, and if the Democratic party
gains just ten more seats in the Senate and House, the godly element will be
silenced and our voice will not be heard. With Nancy Palosi over the House,
and Harry Reed over the Senate, and Barack Obama on the “throne,” I predict
there will be a swift movement to bring bills to motion that will enshrine
abortion in stone, legalize homosexual marriage and force them upon our society,
restrict free speech, and remove tax exempt status from churches and/or drive
them underground.
The time may very well have
come for God’s gavel of judgment to fall on this great nation and Mr. Obama may
be the catalyst to bring about the kind of “change” that will not be pleasant to
any of us, but will, by God’s just and holy decree, be the means by which
America as you and I have known it, is brought to its knees. May God have mercy
upon the United States of America!
