You have killed many people in this city and filled its streets with the dead. "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: The bodies you have thrown there are the meat and this city is the pot, but I will drive you out of it. You fear the sword, and the sword is what I will bring against you, declares the Sovereign LORD. I will drive you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners and inflict punishment on you. You will fall by the sword, and I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD. This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat in it; I will execute judgment on you at the borders of Israel. And you will know that I am the LORD, for you have not followed my decrees or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you�?/B> (Ez 11:6-12; NIV).
You have killed many people in this city and filled its streets with the dead. In the name of “freedom�?we have murdered 32 times more innocent people in our nation over the past 35 years than the combined total of all U.S. military killed in action during all of the wars, conflicts, and engagements from 1776 to the present (@ 1,560,000 in 232 years). The “freedom to choose�?has resulted in the genocide of 50,000,000 children since 1973 as casualties of promiscuous sex. The freedom to practice and promote homosexuality as “a civil right�?has brought us to the brink of cultural suicide through attempts to destroy marriage and common sense. The drive for total “freedom�?from God, Godliness, Christ, and Christianity is pushing us into a Second Dark Age where truth, right, and good will be defined by the social elite’s exercise of absolute power and drive for self-indulgence.
You have not followed my decrees or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you. Because they cannot refer to our own laws and traditions as a foundation for normalizing an insatiable lust for sexual deviation and death, a small, but powerful, faction of our Federal legislators and judges have begun to look outside our borders for moral standards and legal precedent. Is it really necessary to point out that our founding fathers left Europe because the laws were oppressive and corrupt—because those governments were dedicated to enslaving their populations for the aggrandizement of the ruling classes? Do I need to point out that the United States rose to global prominence and power, and has become the mightiest nation in the history of the world, based upon the documented principles of Judeo-Christian beliefs and traditions? And yet we now turn to those who would love to feed upon the carcass of our destruction as the desired model for “enlightenment.�?If you would not trade citizenship in this country for any other, might I suggest that what you find attractive within the socialism of those countries has resulted in less actual freedom for the individual in the overall spectrum of life—not more. The root upon which cultural extremists so frantically dig is the very root upon which the goodness and greatness of our nation stands.
There are those who tell us that Christians don’t have a monopoly on “moral values”—and I have to agree. In Romans 2:13-15 we read: ...It is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) (NIV). Throughout the World there are, and there have been, non-Christian cultures who exercise laws very similar to those found in the Ten Commandments—because those laws are a reflection of the intrinsic truth that is a necessary condition for civilization. But no where and at no time throughout the history of mankind has a society of people who practiced human sacrifice and publicly embraced homosexuality endured for more than a few generations without being destroyed from within and from without. Whether you believe in Jesus Christ, or “Mother Nature,�?or “the human collective,�?there are certain moral laws that cannot be violated with impunity. Socially sanctioned mass murder and public endorsement of aberrant sexual practices are two of them.
Jeremiah tells us in 34:15 Recently you repented and did what is right in my sight: Each of you proclaimed freedom to his countrymen. You even made a covenant before me in the house that bears my Name. Then “the Weeping Prophet�?continues: 16 But now you have turned around and profaned my name; each of you has taken back the male and female slaves you had set free to go where they wished. You have forced them to become your slaves again. 17 "Therefore, this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom for your fellow countrymen. So I now proclaim `freedom' for you, declares the LORD--`freedom' to fall by the sword, plague and famine. I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth (NIV). The people of God are right now faced with a critical decision. Do we stand as one voice and cry in the name of Jesus Christ, “Enough of madness!�? Or do we quietly continue on this hellish roller coaster of death and destruction? Are we now going to return to our homes and to our churches and once more turn our backs upon the literal civil war that is being fought in our legislatures and in our courts? If so, I fear the wrath of God’s words for our nation, �?B>I now proclaim `freedom' for you, declares the LORD--`freedom' to fall by the sword, plague and famine. I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth.�?God grant us courage and wisdom. Amen.
