On My Mind: God's Judgement On America. Is It Already Here?

I believe the root cause of America's problems today is increasing
unrighteousness and rebellion in the eyes of Almighty God.

As the days pass, I keep wondering if and when His judgement
will fall on this nation.  Or perhaps, is it already here?

I remember my 80 year old mother telling me that when she was
 in public elementary school the teachers started the day off with
reading from the Bible, or a prayer, and with the reciting of
the Pledge of Allegiance.  No one was "offended" by this in
those days, or threatened to file a lawsuit.

In fact, her generation produced many hard-working, law-abiding,
and successful men and women.  They might have had to work harder for
 the things they had, but many knew that hard work and the responsibility
which developed along with it, produced good moral character, as well
as a good reputation, which counted back in those days.

Today it seems there are far too many ungrateful, lazy people
demanding entitlement for one reason or another, along with an
inordinate show of self-righteousness thrown into their pathetic
whining of "Give me this! or "Give me that!" "I deserve it!"

 With the impending decision by the Supreme Court to overturn "Roe vs. Wade"
 abortion rights activists are holding protests across the USA. Notice the
fake blood on the front of these protestors' shorts.  Sickening!

We are being told to prepare for an upcoming, "Summer of Rage"
regarding the possible Supreme Court decision to overturn "Roe vs. Wade".

Pro-abortion advocates, many of the female persuasion, have become
militant in their demands of protecting "their right" to abortion, while
threatening the lives and stalking outside the homes of Supreme Court
justices whom they believe will have the most influence over the
striking down of the controversial 1973 ruling.

The overturning of this decision will not, unfortunately, end abortion
in America.  It will only return the decision to the individual 50 states for the
  people who live there to vote on, which should have been done in the first place.  

There is already a list regarding which states will continue to allow, and
which states will limit, or outlaw abortion entirely, but this is not good enough
for these selfish women, whom have forsaken their natural inclination towards
motherhood to bow their knees at the altar of murder and death called abortion.

Offering To Molech

(1897)

Charles Foster

The Illustrated Foster Bible

This is the idol named Molech.  A great many people used to pray to this idol.
It seems a great many people in America today are still widely influenced by him.

Molech had the head of a calf.  The idol created by Aaron in the wilderness of
Sinai and worshipped by the rebellious Israelites also had the head of a calf 
and was fashioned after Apis, an Egyptian fertility god.

Worshipped by the Canaanite peoples in the land and later by Israel,
 the god Molech was made of brass.  In the Bible, brass is symbolic of
 the obstinacy of sin found within a rebellious people or nation.

  "Because I knew that thou (Israel) art obstinate, and thy neck
is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass."
(Isaiah 48:4)

There was a place in the side of this hollow idol to make a fire. 
 When it got very hot, the worshippers of Molech use to put
their helpless little children in the idol's arms where they
  were immolated, or burned to death.

In the procedure known as a saline abortion, 
 a saline or salt solution is injected into the amniotic sac,
 the fluid- filled sac that contains and protects the baby in the womb.
  The baby is burned to death.

 The man in the picture is about to place a little child into the idol's
outstretched arms.  Other men are blowing trumpets and beating on
  drums, making a great noise, so that no one can hear the baby's screams.

  In the recent protests of "rage" and in addition to carrying signs and banners
 filled with obscenities and crude drawings, or wielding coat hangers, the
  cries and shouts of the pro-abortion militants are like the beating of
 those very drums, as they pronounce a continuous death sentence 
 on the voiceless and most vulnerable members of our society,
whose very existence remains in mortal danger.

The unborn child.  

The very likeness and image of God Himself.

"Keep far away from a false charge or action and do not condemn to death
the innocent or the righteous, for I will not justify and acquit the guilty."
(Exodus 23:7)
