The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 33
Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the
king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.... Wherefore thus
saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city (Jerusalem), to the pot whose scum
is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no
lot fall upon it. (Ezekiel 24:2, 6)
Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very
much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the
LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. (2 Chronicles 36:14)
In the Church in America today there is every sin imaginable. “As a nation, America has
rejected God's commandments, both his moral and religious laws”: Over 95 percent have
rejected His Sabbath; 87 percent have rejected the Ten Commandments; and 85 percent of
Americans have rejected all moral absolutes. When one considers these statistics, it is amazing
that 85 percent of Americans consider themselves Christian in contradiction to the fact that they
have rejected God's law. Fornication, adultery, divorce, abortion, homosexuality and false
doctrine are rampant in the Church in America. Much of the Church has embraced New Age
occultism, they have rejected salvation by faith and many church leaders are declaring that Jesus
Christ is only one of many paths to salvation.

God has declared that these unbelievers are
strangers in his house and they are destroyers of His heritage.
We are confounded (confused), because we have heard reproach: shame
hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the
LORD’S house. (Jeremiah 51:51)
Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine
heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
(Jeremiah 50:11)
Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). The Apostle John
wrote: “He that saith, I know him (Jesus Christ), and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar,
and the truth is not in him.” (1 John 2:4) John further describes how those who accept the mark
of the beast and worship his image shall have God's wrath poured out upon them and how they
shall experience eternal punishment. He contrasts this with a description of God's faithful; he
writes: “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God,
and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12) The word of God is clear, God's faithful (those who
have received salvation) keep his commandments.
Paul made it clear that if you want to be justified before God, you must be a keeper of His
commandments; he writes “as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For
not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.”
(Romans 2:12-13) Don't confuse what Paul is saying, we are not saved by keeping the
