Is Our Nation Suffering The Judgement Of God?

The lamestream media, secular humanists and liberal Christians scream when some Fundamentalist Christian talks about our nation suffering judgement at the hands of an angry God.  But ARE we suffering judgement? Is God Angry?

Truthfully, neither the secular humanists or the fundamentalist Christians are right and their opposite opinions represent a polarized ignorance. However, it is a fact that humanity devolves (the opposite of evolving) in the grips of evil. The only humans who have been seen to evolve are the Saints, who in their sanctity at times become very powerful for the good, and change history for the better.  

Civilization itself moves into greater levels of insanity, where the care of nature and the value of humans become questionable. Devolve enough and death and chaos reign. Where there is human devolution there is massive suffering and death. Yes, western civilization IS devolving, and it is happening very quickly under the guidance of the new international religion of Scientism, which is administered by the Scientistic Dictatorship Elite, (SDE). The fact is, at its core, it is not a new religion at all. It is the old paganism merely wrapped in pseudo-science to give it the appearance of "reason" and not the perennial "spiritual emotionalism and insanity" it is. 



Here is the situation with which we are dealing and it is an apt description of the means of Human Devolution. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. 

What does that mean? Does it mean that God is petty and has a bad temper? No it does not. It is anthropomorphic language, because what we are experiencing now in this country and others are experiencing around the world "feels" like God is angry. The Scientistic Dictatorship Elite (SDE) have been on a century and a half campaign inside the cultures all around the Globe to suppress the Truth of God and replace it with something that is ungodly and unrighteous - that is, to create a civilization that is absent God and NOT right with God. The apostle Paul wasn't lying when he said, "because of this, God will send them strong delusion, in order for them to believe the lie, so that they all might be damned who did not believe the truth, but delighted in unrighteousness. That is, they delighted in a way of life and a culture that was absent God and NOT right with God. It represents the devolution of Humanity, an overarching insanity of mankind.  

Two permanent refugee camps in Sudan -
no sanitation - no chance of escape. 

Horrible things are happening that have been well documented, increased earthquakes, horrible and huge fires, wars, seditions, threat from meteors, strains of super-bacteria, new deadly viruses, massive and sudden death of fish and birds, the sudden collapse of the honey bee population, horrible human displacement (now in the tens of millions) where people live in permanent camps, that are not "cities for the displaced" but mere concentrations camps by another name.  Worldwide, the list of chaos is very long and is the history of the last decades. Our answer has been to party a little more hardy, get one more tattoo, play Angry Birds, and Words With Friends, etc. 

We cannot pretend these things are not happening. But does this represent God's anger, or is it rather a fact that we as a culture have drifted so far removed from the Grace of God that we collectively cannot receive his blessings? What is his blessing? Jesus said, "I've come that you may have abundant LIFE." Certainly, officially, now codified in our laws mostly by the acts of unjust judges, we have removed God from our vision, from our laws, from our thoughts, from our reasoning, from our science, from our philosophy, from our conversations, from our hearts, from our town squares, from our memorials, but most damaging of all from our actions. It isn't just that we "ignore him" and he is petty and does not like to be ignored. It is rather that in our rebellion we remove ourselves from his blessings which are LIFE engendering and as we devolve into evil, we move further and further into a Culture of Death and Chaos. What else can happen when you purposely remove yourself from the "source of ALL LIFE"?  

We are merely repeating what the pagans of old did. The increasing barbarity of our society is not new. It is the exact same paganism, but this time wrapped in the language of the SDE.

Here is the story and it is absolutely true TODAY.  What can be known of God is not absent to the natural Human heart. God has shown us Himself in the majesty and awesomeness of the Universe. This is a witness of the reality of God available to every breathing human psyche. It is so much a part of the human psyche that in the hours and days post 9/11 in the U.S., all around the country, people pressed prayers to God from their gut, from the deepest part of them, people who had never uttered a prayer in their lives were sincerely bowing their heads and pressing their minds and hearts to God's saving power and God's mercy. But then they quickly turned to Idols the SDE erected for their salvation. George Bush, The Patriot Act, The National Defense Authorizations, the Creation of the Golden Calf called "The Department of Homeland Security" to which if we would just bow, surrender liberties as sacrifice, we would all be saved. We had a real chance for "national salvation" for a renewal of everything that was good in our culture and we blew it big time. 

Now we are without excuse. For that brief moment, we recognized God and his providential care for us, then quickly we fell back into the old patterns of devolution, accepted the Idols created for us by the SDE. We stopped honoring God, we stopped as a nation giving him thanks. We devolved into the abyss of death and evil even further in 2008. Being totally blinded by yet another Idol, we elected a man with NO respect for God, a man who has proved himself to be an enemy of Good People, a man who openly mocked the Bible, and tradition and patriotism, and he has been walking through our country with powers of destruction of Biblical proportions, destroying incomes, destroying businesses, mocking Christianity, disrespecting Jews, and now openly attacking the Church.

Let's use Saint Paul's words: For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Because that which is known of God is manifest among them, for God has shown it to them.  For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both His eternal power and Divinity, so that they are without excuse. Because, having known God, they did not glorify Him as God, or give thanks, but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. 
Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for a likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and reptiles. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of the own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 

For this reason God gave them up to passions of dishonor; for even their females exchanged the natural use for that which is contrary to nature, and likewise also the males, having left the natural use of the female, were inflamed by their lust for one another, males with males, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error. And just as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do the things which are not fitting; having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, greed, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness; they are whisperers, slanderers, hateful to God, insolent men, proud, braggarts, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, having known the righteous judgment of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also approve of those who practice them. 
  
What more accurate picture could one paint of our leaders . . . and wait, our leader merely reflect US.  In that horrible slave engendering ruling of the Roberts' Court, on June 28th, 2012 (a day that will live in infamy) Roberts said one thing that is absolutely true. He said in effect that it is not the job of the Supreme Court to protect stupid Godless people from themselves, who elect stupid Godless congresses and presidents who enact stupid and Godless laws. 

I rarely read the Church father and commentator Origen because it is most times repackaged Platonism but something caught my eye. He said,  "Things which have come to the wise of this world concerning the knowledge of truth, have come to them by divine revelation. But when they chase after vain glory, or are praised for ancient errors, or are silenced by fear of rulers, they become judges of their own damnation. The truth, which they had learned by divine revelation, is either hidden from them by their loss of freedom or else is denied by their wicked behavior."  

The Electorate in this newly minted Pagan Nation, are losing their sanity by both means Origen mentioned, they are losing the knowledge of right and wrong by BOTH the sacrifice of their freedom to the Idol of Pagan Safety, and to their increasingly wicked behavior. The Church father Pelagius said, "Even people who did not agree with these thing, these 'doings' nevertheless seem to have accepted them, because they agreed to idolatry, which is the source and cause of them all."

Saint Basil the Great said, "Perverted human tradition is the source of great evil for us, in that some sins are denounced while others are viewed with indifference. Crimes like homicide and adultery are the object of a violent but feigned indignation while others, like anger, reviling, drunkenness or avarice, are not considered deserving of even a simple admonition"  We live in a worse culture than St Basil, since in our culture adultery is celebrated! Anger is a way of life! Reviling, drunkenness and avarice are our motivations and pastimes.  Yet, many don't participate in the paganism of our culture, but like Clement of Rome said, "Those who do such things are hateful to God . . . and not only those who do them but those who take pleasure in those who do them."  Did you see the last episode of Jersey Shore? Did you enjoy it? Did you see the last episode of Two and A Half Men? Did you enjoy it?

That phrase Saint Basil uses, "Perverted human tradition"  what could be more perverted than the destruction of the family, the adoration of homosexuality, the tolerance of pornography, the willingness to sacrifice Liberty for faux-Security.  The choice is freedom or slavery. G.K. Chesterton said, "Only Christianity is capable of creating a society where both the Christian and the Pagan may play."  He wasn't talking about some "theocracy" but a society founded upon consciousness and thankfulness to God. A society that enslaves no one to an ideology, Christian or otherwise, but does not suppress God in the public square, in the community events, or in academia.  

Academia in the Scientistic Dictatorship's New World Order holds at its core "perverted human traditions" all founded upon an orchestrated attack upon God and all things related to him. And we wonder why our society spins deeper and deeper into insanity, and less ability to perceive truth . . . And just as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do the things which are not fitting; having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, greed, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness; they are whisperers, slanderers, hateful to God, insolent men, proud, braggarts, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, having known the righteous judgment of God, that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also approve of those who practice them. 

Are we experiencing the Judgement of God?  God's judgement is not movable. It is not capricious. It is not temporary. It is tempered ONLY by his Mercy and Grace, which at this point in time is the only thing staving off Armageddon. The more unnatural our culture becomes the more judgement we will experience. To go against God is to go against nature.  Ungodly humans, create ungodly science, ungodly governance, ungodly therapy that is sickness producing, ungodly 'health care' a cover for eugenics and genocide, ungodly education that increases darkness in the minds of the next generation, so that our ungodly communities grow more warped and dangerous.  In the presence of ungodly humans our very nature and the nature of the creatures and the planet suffers; terrible things happen, atrocities against humanity and nature happen. 

The entire Scientistic edifice is unnatural. It is a world wide Tower of Babel, claiming the power of and knowledge for human eschatology (ultimate salvation). Just like Nimrod, they think they are about to improve humanity, by human's own efforts absent consciousness of God, they are overseeing the next step in human evolution. Human pride has made the wisest fools. Apollinaris of Laodicea said, "This means that although the visible creation was sufficient to reveal the invisible God, they nevertheless abandoned God and deified creatures instead, 'suppressing the truth of God in unrighteousness.'"  - He just described the extreme materialism of our modern mindset. A cardinal truth of the SDE paradigm is that humans are mere Beasts, mere biology, incapable of knowledge of what is invisible by means of what may be observed, so that the consciousness of God is seen as "cultural hypnosis, and the superstition of the pre-scientific era." That is the core Godlessness we face. And as long as, as a society, we accept that paradigm - which is the denial of God, we have nothing more than judgement ahead. We will spiral into greater levels of darkness and pain, because you cannot be thankful to God and at the same time deny him, or make heroes of the people who do deny him. 

God's judgement hasn't varied one iota, we simply keep moving into greater areas of unrighteousness, where God's judgement is constant. He judges both righteousness and unrighteousness. In the flow of Life that is righteousness (being right with God and acting inside the paradigm of everything that is LIFE producing) we experience that LIFE as blessing, as abundance. In the flow of death and chaos that is the permanent characteristic of life lived in unrighteousness, we cannot escape the reality, the judgement permanently in place in that territory. In this as a society we WEAR our sin and sin is death.  

Listen to a High Priest of the new religion called Scientism - he uses the style of a southern revivalist as he preaches his culture of death. Yes, brothers and sisters, we are all called. - Remember the description of the new Paganism I offered above, "Spiritual emotionalism and insanity."

Repentance, just like the people of Nineveh, is the only answer we have before us. Politics isn't the answer - the Beast has taken control of the system. 






Then next is needed, real and sincere prayer to renew the mind, which has been damaged by human pride and sin. 

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us!
