Pluck Up Pull Down Destruction

Jeremiah 18:7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. Are nations entities unto themselves? Can they actually legislate, live, work, play, and go about daily life as they want? Are they actually unto themselves with no one to answer too? Many in the world think so. We know that during World Wars that nations are held accountable to one another by sheer brute force. Hitler pushed his will toward domination till a greater power aligned to stop him. His dominate force was ended by sheer overpowering force of nations who saw what he was doing as evil. Likewise today, we have certain nations that seem bent on pushing their will over other nations. America has done that in Iraq. While the reason may seem to some as legitimate, we simply have no right to invade nations and take them over because we find them threatening. Nor do we have the right to push our brand of democracy on others. We in America live in a democracy. This nation was a "constitutional republic". It isn't anymore, because we threw that out a long time ago. Moreover today we are embattled in wars around the world. We still have troops in corridors of Europe, Asia, Middle East and in the open seas of our world. Our influence is virtually felt everywhere and people know it. They also resent it. Our democracy has grown, provide livings for people, safety to some degree, and many other benefits. But this society has also grown vices to become large industries. Gambling once a vice is welcomed in this nation. Las Vegas, Jersey, and Ocean going ships promote Gambling. We gamble on football, baseball, and many other things. Prostitution is now a viable institution through the Nevada business's of stable Whore houses which reduce the "love" God intended to pure fleshly pleasure. Democracy has filled our prisons to overflowing, allowed many convicts to get off early in sentences, and provided jobs for many americas who are jail masters. Drugs is another consequence of democracy. More drugs seem to flow into the democractic nation we call America than any other. Americans love their drugs and have the money so drug pushers and cartels are all too happy to provide this for them. Democracy in America is flourishing with more vices. Today in this nation our streets are laden with drug pushers, whores, pimps, street gangs, and cops. Some good cops some bad. Our courts are filled with liberal judges, corrupt judges, while the defendants are defended by sharp out for money lawyers. If you have money, then a sharp lawyer will get you off. Our churches are everywhere filled with soft pews, golden crosses, shiny windows, polished floors, and sharp witty preachers who peddle soft sweet sicky sermons that have not an ounce of gospel power in it. Our taxes are too high, our deficit is too high, our houses cost too much, our cars drink to much gas and pollute the air, our food is abundant while our bellies are big and butts wide. Our mouths are open, our words are harsh, and our hearts do not fear God. This is the American democracy. This is what the world sees. You ever wonder why extremists Muslims would rather "fight than switch" to our brand of living? We join up with whoredoms, push homosexuality and lesbianism, tear up the families while allowing deviant lifestyles to adopt children. Values today are corrupted, violence is riddling the streets of our nations, government spending grows, government intrusion grows, privacy is nilch, and we are just numbers. Digital computers, the internet, high tech is the lifestyle and doing your own thing is more important than following the first line of the law which says this: Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom Our lifestyles reveal we do not "fear the Lord" or else we would not do the things we do. We don't count on God to do anything but put up with our sins. No matter what we do, we think it doesn't matter. We have more churches than anywhere on earth, better educated ministers and priests, yet we have more priests that molest young people and more ill reputed actions in the pulpit than anywhere. Our churches and laymen, ministers and priests have stopped doing what they were to do and be. They along with all believers are called not to be like society, but come from them. They are called not to love the world or its things but love the Lord more than anything. They are called to be holy, for without this, no Man or Woman shall see the Lord. We are to be salt and light, preservatives in an ungodly world. Yet with all the churches, all the ministers, all the so called christians, and all the so called morals we are to have, we have made no difference in America the most prosperous power nation on earth. What use to be a nation that really did call on God, follow what he taught, and respect his Laws is Gone. We are now a whorish democracy that allows anything to go. Right now we are pushing this brand of Godlessness on others around the world. No matter what they feel about it. Psalms 25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Psalms 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. The Lord God bless this nation. All the blessings will fall away from us if we do not repent of our senseless wicked ways. The church must repent. The nation must not harbor wickedness. The alternative is that the "good the Lord intended to do to a nation" would be repented of. Instead of Good from the Lord, you will receive the alternative. Judgment and harshness, depravity and barreness, justice for wickedness and forgiveness for repentance. What will you do?
