Will You Repent Before It’s Too Late? Jeremiah 15-18, 21-22

 Our intercession means nothing without repentance. Not even the greatest saints—Moses, Samuel, Daniel—could save a people who will not turn back to God. America is no different. The more we reject the Lord, the more certain and severe our judgment becomes.

John Calvin wrote in Commentary on Jeremiah and Lamentations Vol. II:

“We ought, as far as we can, to promote the salvation of all… and yet we know… many are reprobate for whom our prayers will avail nothing.” (p. 260)

Is there any pity left for the West? God has summoned the sword, the beast, the bird, and the devourer. The guardians of our culture no longer weep. We have traded the living Word of God for slogans, spectacles, and selfishness.

Charles Spurgeon, in Hidden Manna (1871), thundered:

 

“They have never felt that its truths proceed immediately from the throne of God... What is meant by finding God’s words!”

Now, God raises His hand—not in blessing, but in fury. If He scattered the tribes of Israel for their rebellion, what fate awaits a rebellious Christendom? The West has become a byword. The destroyer is on the move. We are cursed ground now. God is just in judging us for trampling the righteous.

Children born in this land will not grow to see peace. Weddings and funerals alike lose their meaning as the Lord lifts His sheltering hand. Walter Brueggemann, in A Commentary on Jeremiah: Exile and Homecoming, wrote:

“God’s sustaining presence is now forfeited, and public life must experience and embody that forfeiture.” (p. 152 © 1998 Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.)

Ask why judgment comes, and the answer is clear: the sins of our ancestors, and the far greater sins of our own hearts. The Lord said:

“You too have done evil, even more than your forefathers… walking according to the stubbornness of your evil heart, without listening to Me.” (Jer. 16:12 NASU)

But after the judgment, He will call His remnant home like a fisherman drawing in his net. The Messiah will be exalted, and all knees will bow. Great is the Lord, but those who trust in themselves trust in a lie.

 

Our sin is engraved with an iron stylus. Our hearts have become hardened, our desires twisted. Brueggemann warns:

 

“Something will be written on the heart—either sin or Torah.” (p. 157 © 1998 Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.)

 

We have chosen sin.

 

Cursed are those who trust in flesh, who walk away from the fountain of living water. Our hearts deceive even us. But to those who trust in the Lord?

 

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD...

He will be like a tree planted by water,

...he will not fear when heat comes,

...nor cease to yield fruit.” (Jer. 17:7–8 NASU)

 

Return to the Sabbath, the ancient sign of holiness. Lay down your burdens. Honor what God made holy, or He will make the land rest without you.

 

O Christendom, can the Potter not remake you? Shall He not crush the hardened clay? Calvin reminds us:

 

“Until men are brought to know that they are so subject to God’s power... they will never be humble as they ought to be.” (Vol. II, p. 417)

 

You cry “God bless America,” but there is no blessing without repentance. Your reverence is hollow. Calvin said of such:

 

“Hypocrites… maintain no consistency… they are not turned by threatenings… they strive like refractory horses to shake off their rider.” (Vol. III, p. 52)

 

God fights against us now. Our weapons misfire. Our bodies weaken. Our bread fails. The path of life was offered—and rejected. And now, life is leaving the West.

 

Heed His Word.

 

Do justice. Defend the oppressed. Shelter the immigrant. Uplift the widow. If you do, blessing will come. If not, the Destroyer will.

 

One day, children will ask why there is no more America. And the answer will be: God did it. Because she would not repent.

So now, the call is clear and urgent: Repent. Not in word alone, but in heart, in deed, in spirit. Turn from your sin before it turns to ash. The gates of mercy are not yet shut, but they are closing. Do not wait for calamity to make you cry out—cry out now, while there is still breath in your lungs and light in the sky. The God who judges is also the God who restores, but only for those who humble themselves and return to Him. Let your heart break before the Lord, that it might be healed. Choose life. Choose righteousness. Choose the narrow way—before it is gone.

 Cursed are we who became pagans. We are culpable for our evil.  The West has abandoned The Holy One. Harry latter wrote, “Evil always calls for punishment, and whoever forsakes God, the fountain of all good things, will face grief upon grief.” (PG34 Kregel Publication © 1981, Translated by Cornelius Lambrgtse) Rebellion is not a mistake. The West was founded on Christian morals. Unlike a child, they chose to rebel against the One who gave us a history. Harry Bultema wrote in his Commentary on Isaiah, “Nothing in human life is more tragic then an unsuccessful upbringing.” (Pg.31, Kregel Publication © 1981, Translated by Cornelius Lambrgtse) We are stupider then donkey because they at least know where there food comes from. The Lord has stricken us, but we refuse to respond. We are cursed because our heart is rebellious. Our wounds wound have not be bound or medicated.  California burns. Harry latter wrote in his book, “Hence, the sickness is incurable and leaves...

American Revolution about slavery

Image
The Confederate Flag is heritage the US Flag is hate.  The “Founding Fathers" founded the US on slavery. A desire to protect the institution of slavery not “Liberty” is what drove the patriots to seek independence from the free country of the United Kingdom. (1770s UK was freer than the Victorian empire.)I was New England not the South that created racism in North America as Patricia Bradly states in her book Slavery, Propaganda, and the American Revolution, "In a Puritain worldwher symbolwas considered a godly mode of communication, the [racial] color black was itself a symbol of evil."Jefferson Davis president of the Confederate States of America once said, “Truth crushed to earth is truth still and like a seed will rise again.” Gerald Horne in his book The Counter-Revolution of 1776 says, ‘ this may have curdled the emergent idea of “American” separateness verging on "indendency” in a brew of pre-existent anti-London and anti-Negro sentiment.’ (pg.131) ...
