"Then the glorious Lord All-Powerful ordered me to say to the nations that had raided and robbed Zion: Zion is as precious to the Lord as are his eyes. Whatever you do to Zion, you do to him." (Zechariah 2:8, CEV)
Obama, Kerry, and some of the Democrats in the US Congress are descending more and more into abandoning Israel. After this Fall's elections, The United States of America could be heading into uncharted waters. With the midterms over, no more elections to hinder him, Obama will come out of the closet, and the naive, no, stupid, American public which voted for him will see just what they got. So what will happen to the United States of America if it continues to threaten Israel, allies itself with Israel's enemies, and refuses to remain Israel's most loyal ally? Read our text again.
America is the "new kid on the block" when it comes to historic world powers. We may have the greatest military potential of any nation in history, we may be the most prosperous, the most "free," but if the US continues on its present course, it will go the way of all empires/super powers which have attempted to fight the purposes of Jesus Christ. From Babel on, there are just no exceptions.
What can those of us who are US citizens do? We give ourselves in absolute obedience to, and continually recommit ourselves to the Bible; we pray; we vote. Now some relegate the latter to an unspiritual entity. There is no doubt in my mind, however, that if every person who named the Name of Jesus would vote according to Biblical principles and vote consistently on those principles in every election, the Church in America would control America. And if you say that is not the objective, I say, you need to read the "Great Commission" again. The Church took this Great Commission/Command so seriously that in just 3 centuries they took over the Roman Empire. Those of us who are American citizens, who confess faith in Jesus Christ could do the same. It is not prayer which is hindering this; it is a do nothing "church." There have been in every election in recent years so many "christians" who did not vote, that we have lost the United States of America to the pagans.
"Whatever you do to Zion, you do to [Jesus Christ]." This is not just the leaders of a nation. This includes those who approve/vote for those leaders, and those who allowed those leaders to come to power by doing exactly what the unjust steward did in Matthew 25----- nothing. Arise, Church. May Jesus in the Holy Spirit convict us all of, "sin, righteousness, and judgment." Passivity in the "secular" realm will lead to judgment. Besides, there is nothing "secular" in the Kingdom of Heaven; all is under the reign of Jesus Christ, "The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof." If you know of any who profess Jesus as Savior and do not vote, this could be one of your greatest services to the Church in America, "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray for the Church in the United States of America and in every nation to arise and come into all You have for us, not just want religious leaders want for us. Amen.
