The Hand Repost from 2010

This post is an extra Musing by Robert, and will be shared at Tell Me a Story.  My continued stories will follow this post.

There is a story in the Bible about a hand.  It was not just any hand, but was a particular hand.

This hand was the hand of the Most High GOD.  It only went forth at the command of GOD.  In Daniel 5:5 we find the hand was sent out to write a message of doom for a king and kingdom.

There was only one man who could read the message.  Daniel the prophet was this man. What he saw written, was final and soon to come to pass.

The King wanted Daniel to tell him what was said, and what it meant.  

Daniel read and explained the writing to the King saying; MENE, GOD has numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL, thou are weighed in the balances and found wanting. PERES, thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

This hand of GOD is the hand of judgment falling upon nations who reject GOD.

 

America has been blessed by GOD more than any other country before, and therefore more is required of it. Today we find that this country is well on the way of rejecting the Only True GOD.

Our present President has openly declared this nation is not a Christian nation.  Many Christian leaders are being chastised and ridiculed, for standing up and saying there is no other GOD Save Jehovah.

The enemies of the Christians are growing in numbers.  They are in positions of authority: political, legal, and also in the secular world.  The Words from the Bible are being slowly erased from government buildings, just because they are found in the Bible.

The former President would conclude his speeches with, “GOD Bless America.”  

I would think, “For what reason should God bless America?  Does America love GOD?  DO the people serve Him?  Do they claim Him as Lord and Savior?”  

The current President would not dare to say those words, and I for one miss hearing them.

In Sodom and Gomorrah, the Hand of God went forth and destroyed those cities, because of their unrighteousness.

 

The question today is, “How long will GOD allow this country to escape his wrath? “

The strength of America, contrary to poplar belief is not its military, its financial domain nor its economic power, but rather it is in its belief in the Almighty GOD.  It is in our worship, and dedication to HIM.  

How long will GOD restrain his Hand from going forth, and to what degree will its strength be shown?  I fear we may soon find out!

Psalms 33:12  Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom He hath chosen for his own inheritance.

Proverbs 14:34  Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to all people.
