As I watch the death spiral of America right now, I would like to suggest to all of our readers that they become very familiar with two O.T. books, Daniel and Ezekiel.
These two books should encourage you as you come to the realization that we are living in a post-Christian country. The themes of Daniel that should encourage you are: 1) God is sovereign over history and the future of nations, 2) God still listens to the prayers of His children (they are much beloved to Him), 3) God still knows how to deliver His children from fire and lions, and 4) God still promotes those who will honor Him.
In the book of Ezekiel, God takes quite a bit of time to show all of the reasons why Israel was conquered by Babylon. This is the theme of the first half of the book. The encouraging part of Ezekiel is the second half where God promises restoration for Israel. We have already witnessed some of these promises begin to come true. Israel became a unified nation again on 5/15/1948 for the first time in over 2900 years. Our God is the God of promise. He is merciful. He is holy. He is just. He knows how to keep His children.
Deuteronomy 7:9-10
9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
Although it may look sometimes like evil is winning, Jesus is the victorious King. We will reign with Him. We have a glorious future.
