Many have asked if God will judge America

Many have asked if God will judge America. They have asked if we have gone too far to avoid God's terrible and final judgment. Let's face it. We have mercilessly killed over 45 million little baby boys and girls. We have thrown God out of school, banished Him from the schoolyard, and ripped His Ten Commandments from the walls. We have called what is evil good and what is good evil and we do not even know how to blush. We have shaken our fist in the face of Almighty God, expecting the offended deity to bless us in the midst of our dismissing Him. Billy Graham said it well, "If God does not judge America, He is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah."

The answer to the question is that God has already judged America and is presently judging her now, desiring that we return to Him (II Chronicles 7:14). He has given us warning after warning through prophetic utterance and signs and judgments. God's heart for America is most perfectly expressed in His words to the church of Laodicea. "Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me." Rev 3:19-20

Behold the warnings, the signs, the judgments of God to call America back to Himself.

On August 22, 1787, George Mason (Father of the Bill of Rights) made this prophetic statement about the divisive issue of slavery during the debates of the Constitutional Convention:

"Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant. They bring the judgment of Heaven upon a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes national sins, by national calamities."

How much more of our heavenly Father's wrath must we experience before we turn to our offended Lord and confess and repent of the sin of shedding innocent blood (abortion). If we turn to Him in humble repentance, He promises to turn to us. We need God in America in America today!
