America’s Cup Of Anger

By Grant Phillips

We in this country have been mightily blessed, and our blessings have come from the one supreme God, the God of Israel and the Church; our Creator. No nation in history has received material blessings on the scale we have enjoyed since our founding in 1776; not Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Medo/Persia, Greece, nor Rome. We have enjoyed the luxuries of materialism that others could not even dream of or imagine. Even today, our poor are wealthy in the eyes of others.

However, those blessings will soon be history and nothing more than a memory.

Those who are in tune with Bible prophecy know this to be true. Our greatest blessing of all, our freedom, is slipping right through our finger tips, and most of our citizens don’t even know it. While we enjoy a relaxing dip in the coastal waters, enjoying the sun’s rays upon our faces, we are unaware of the sharks already in the water, just inches away. Our fate is upon us, and we’re blind to it.

How can this be you say? The question isn’t surprising. As I’ve already said, most feel we are fail-proof.

“There will always be another day like yesterday. Our economy may be wobbly, but we survived the 30s didn’t we? We’ll be okay.”

“Militarily, there is no power on earth that could stand against us.” Perhaps, except for two problems: (1) We are falling apart from within, and (2) there is a Heavenly power greater than any earthly power, including our military.

But wait a minute you say, “I don’t believe in a Heavenly power, and we can fix our military.” It doesn’t matter what we believe. God says He is the God of all flesh. Therefore, all of us whether we believe in Him or not, will answer to Him.

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” (Emphasis mine) Jeremiah 32:27 NLT

We may “Imagine” there is no Heaven, and choose to “Do It My Way,” but that is from a “dreamer” who will fail.

Every powerful nation in history, at one time or another thought they were invincible. So it is no surprise that so many of us think nothing will ever harm our comfort zone of living. So I repeat, our days are numbered, and our comfort zone will be no more.

“The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.” Lamentations 4:12 NLT

Are our gates more holy than those of Jerusalem? I think not. Some of us even think that because we give lip service to God, He would never allow misfortune to come upon us as a nation. There will not only be “misfortune,” but out-right terror and extreme hardship are coming our way. We will be brought to our knees amidst suffering.

Every time Israel “crossed the line” with God, they suffered punishment. Are we any better than Israel; the “apple of His eye?”

“Then the LORD said to me, “Now tell them, ‘This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: Drink from this cup of my anger. Get drunk and vomit; fall to rise no more, for I am sending terrible wars against you.’ And if they refuse to accept the cup, tell them, ‘The LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: You have no choice but to drink from it. I have begun to punish Jerusalem, the city that bears my name. Now should I let you go unpunished? No, you will not escape disaster. I will call for war against all the nations of the earth. I, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!’” Jeremiah 25:29 NLT

The God of Heaven has blessed us in the past because we were a Christian nation, establishing our laws upon His holy laws; the Ten Commandments. He blessed us because our political and religious leaders honored Him. We honored Him as a nation and in our churches, but today that is not so. Today, even most of our churches are bastions of Satan, as are our political offices. Our churches proclaim God, but live for Satan. Our leadership, politically and religiously, is corrupt to the core.
