If
you're bold enough to state that you believe these are the last
days just before the return of Jesus, the typical response given
by ungodly men to your statement will be as quoted in the 2000
year old prophecy of 2Peter 3: 3-4
“First
of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will
come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will
say, "Where is this "coming" he promised? Ever
since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the
beginning of creation."
However, God has a direct
response to those that scoff at His Holy Word of prophecy;
"But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's Word the
heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by
water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and
destroyed. By the same Word the present heavens and earth are
reserved for fire, being kept for the Day of Judgment and
destruction of ungodly men.” New
Testament Bible 2Peter 3:3-7
Do I believe that America is under the judgment of God
for her unrelenting sinfulness? Yes, absolutely, the sins of
America have already become the curse. I
see economic collapse, riots, earthquakes, hunger, war, and fire
coming to America.
Spiritual blindness|
While most Americans have become spiritually deaf and blind to the
obvious signs all around them, true Holy Spirit filled Christians
have "eyes to see and ears to hear" and recognize that
the last days are upon us. No, I cannot tell you the day or hour
the return of Christ will take place, not even the angels know the
exact day of God's wrath or of Jesus' return. But I can assure you
that the beginning of the end of all things as we know them has
already begun. Jesus spoke of the recognizable signs of the last
days preceding the wrath of God to be poured out on this sinful
world, and those signs are now taking place.
A dreadful punishment is coming to the United States of
America.
My eyes have been opened and I clearly foresee an impending
wrath on the nation that has turned her back on God. Often I
consider; why me, why was such a dreadful warning of impending
destruction upon America given to me three years ago? At
first I questioned if that which I saw and heard in the spirit was
truly from God. But through His graciousness toward me He
continued to prompt me through the Holy Spirit. Through much
prayer and after two years of examining that which was being shown
to me in the spirit, and comparing and testing it against the Holy
Word of God, I realized the warnings truly were from God. By
stepping out in faith and obedience to God I have found my life
dramatically changed.
Questions; Why God has considered me worthy to be
forewarned I cannot say. I am greatly humbled that I was chosen to
be a part of His plan of redemption through His Son, and I seek no
special consideration from God. Perhaps because of my deep longing
and many prayers for the soon return of Jesus to free us, and all
of creation, from our sin induced curse, He has looked upon me
with compassion.
Facts; I am a Christian and I desire to live so as not to
be ashamed before Jesus when he returns. I chose to not take part
in the sins of the nation. God's Holy Spirit prompted me to take
my family and leave America, and I have done so.
Who am I?
Am I, this author, a self-proclaimed prophet that is adding a
"new revelation" to what God has already written? No, I
speak only of what God has clearly given to me through the
prompting of His Holy Spirit regarding the future and ONLY in
alignment with Bible Scripture .
Do I seek any fame or attention in what I write here? Absolutely
not. All glory and honor must be given to God.
Do I have visions of starting a cult of my own like Jim Jones or
one of the other deranged false prophets? Perhaps you think I
might be seeking to build up a prosperity oriented apostate
mega-church ? Absolutely not! I do not desire a following, and I
will not allow anyone to consider me as their minister or medium
to God. There is but One Mediator between man and God, and that
being Christ Jesus alone.
Am I one of the "fanatics" that stands on a street
corner waving a sign proclaiming a dooms day scenario and shouting
at passersby? Yes, I suppose you could say that I am one of those
fanatics. The Latin meaning of the word "fanatic", means
to be inspired by Deity, and so I am. I haven't stood
shouting on a street corner, yet, but the Internet reaches
a lot more people. This web site has regular visitors from 92
nations, so maybe this is my street corner of sorts.
My name is Barry Brumfield and I lived 52 years in America
until July 2004, when in answering to God's prompting, I sold and
gave away most of all that I owned, including house and cars. I
then moved my family and myself to the Sierra Madre Mountains in
Mexico where we remain today. We came here in submission to, and
guided by, the will of God. We now live in peace, without the
constant day to day bombardment of sin that is so common to life
in America. Here we support the poor among us with food and
clothing, and we share the Christian Gospel with our Mexican and
Indian neighbors by word, action, and deed.
We carry New Testament Spanish language Bibles with us where ever
we go, and give them out to the people in our village and beyond.
We also have taken up the great commission through our audio
gospel ministry. We give away audio cassette and CD recordings of
the Protestant New Testament gospel in Spanish and five Indian
dialects native to Mexico. We make road-trips to the remote
villages in the surrounding mountains and distribute hundreds of
the Gospel tapes. Many of the people here can not read and for
them these audio tapes are the first of the True Christian Gospel
they've ever heard.
As further work to spread the Christian gospel I also design and
build Christian web sites purposed to honor and glorify God and
the sacrifice of His Son Jesus. By the grace of God my websites
receive tens of thousands of visitors monthly.
God has blessed us in many wonderful ways and we are humbled to be
among those that He has chosen to remove and protect from the time
of trouble coming to America. I would ask that you are sensitive
to God's prompting while you read further.
America's Future,
May God Have Mercy
Repent America, for the Day of
The Lord is upon you.
America is headed the way of all fallen empires. The
time that God warned us about in His Word has come - the
"dread release," when even the prayers of godly saints
no longer avail. God said, "When the
land sins against me by trespassing grievously, then will I
stretch out mine hand upon it... and will cut off man and beast
from it, says the Lord God" (Ezekiel
14:13-14).
God
never yet has destroyed a society or nation without first sending
an obvious warning. "Surely the Lord
God will do nothing, but he reveals his secret unto his servants
the prophets" (Amos 3:7).
God warned Abraham of the coming destruction of Sodom: "And
the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I
do" (Genesis 18:17).
God warned Noah that He soon would destroy mankind with a flood: "Noah,
being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with
fear" (Hebrews 11:7).
Jeremiah
prophesied judgment upon Israel because "the
Lord has given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou show
me their doings" (Jeremiah
11:18). God also revealed to Daniel what was to come: "Then
was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision:" (Daniel
2:19).
Consider:
If God punished Israel, the nation of His chosen people, will
He not surely punish America? Is America greater or more holy in
the eyes of God than is Israel?
In
open defiance of God, for decades America has survived while
tolerating obvious sin in her midst. Today the depraved sins of
the nation are not only being tolerated, but are now being
promoted by the reprobates in power and those that hold
influential sway over the minds of the people.
What Brings About The Judgment of God
"There is one come out of thee,
that imagines evil against the Lord, a wicked counselor" (Nahum
1:11). God must pour out His fury when a nation and its
people turn from simply ignoring God to deliberately plotting
against Him. This evil one who plots against God - making laws,
giving wicked counsel, designed to anger God - is the consensus,
the national mind, expressed by its judges, courts, and
government. This one who has arisen in our midst is embodied
particularly in our Supreme Court, but also in our federal courts,
and our judges on every level. These people have become wicked
counselors, waging war against God. And they have blood and the
souls of innocents on their hands.
Americans
who protect abortionists, perverts, and atheistic rights are
daring God to react to their rebellion. The evil citizens of
America have set their hearts against God and are bringing the
anger of God against the entire nation along with their own
damnation. The evil people of America do not fear God, do not
respect, or honor Him and they shall pay with their very souls.
Those
in authority in America have removed God from their midst and now
dare to deny public worship of Him and God responds: "
For now will I break His yoke from off thee, and will burst thy
bonds in sunder" (Nahum 1:13).
Nahum
asks, "Who can stand before his
indignation? and who can abide (endure)
in the fierceness of his anger?"
(Nahum 1:6).
When God's anger comes against America what judge will then dare
stand in rebellion? What court will judge against Him? Who among
them will come forth and deny God's rightful authority? Who then
will call for His Holy Name to be removed from America's courts,
public buildings, public meetings, and prayers when God's wrath
begins to pour out without mercy on those that oppose Him? God
will bring them down off of their self professed pedestals of
arrogance, and reality will be their due. They will be helpless
against the terror of God's wrath. Weep America, and beg God's
mercy for the hour is soon upon you that you shall fall. God WILL
NOT be mocked.
San
Francisco earthquakes, California wild fires, Oklahoma bombing,
New York twin towers, New Orleans hurricane, plains states wild
fires, rivers and dams flooding all across the nation, Carolina
tornadoes... what will come next? What national horror will you
unexpectedly tune into on CNN that will make you finally see that
God is speaking to America, warning America? What will it take for
a nation that is so self indulgent, so obsessed with self
worship and the worship of man, to be spiritually awakened?
A word to compromising pastors.
What kind of spiritual blindness has fallen on us when we see
this judgment all about and still have mammon worshipping
preachers crying, "Peace!
Prosperity!"
Do you not care that hell is at the door of America and its
people? Does it mean nothing to you that you will be held
accountable on the day of judgment for every soul that was lost
while in your care? Are you a lukewarm minister? Are you more
afraid of offending the sensitivities of those God has placed in
your care than to save their soul? What shall be the greater
offence; that they are required to finally choose whom they serve
and obey Him as their sovereign King and Lord... or to face the
horrific offence of eternal punishment.
Choose whom you serve, you shepherd of God's children, or get down
from your pulpit and stand aside that another may preach the true
and un-compromised Holy Word of God.
If you're afraid that you will lose your pastoral position and the
income that comes with it, then find yourself a 40 hour a week
income producing job, and use the other 127 hours of the week to
prepare your one hour preaching of God's Word. Choose you this
day, whom do you serve? God or mammon?
However, if you are not lukewarm and not compromising the Gospel,
and you are not accepted by your congregation because you offend
or frighten them with your teaching of the True Word of God, then
depart from among them. Leave, and God will send those to you that
He desires to hear the truth. Whom do you serve? God or the
sensitivities of man?
As
it is with the weak pastors of today, all dying empires,
represented by their leaders and peoples, also become cowardly
compromisers of the Holy Word of God, unwilling in the end to take
a stand for anything God ordained. From Sodom to Babylon, dying
empires have gone out drunk, lazy, stoned, perverse, and immune to
all warnings. Am I getting through to you? Do you believe what I'm
saying is happening in America? Well if you believe I'm correct,
will you change your lifestyle, will you separate yourself from
the sins of America? And if you do choose to obey God and refuse
to take part in a sinful nation, how long will it be before you go
right back to allowing, promoting, and taking part in the sins
that will destroy America and you and your family along with her?
The sin becomes the curse
God cursed the city of Nineveh because of sins that
were less than those of America: "I
will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will
set thee as a gazing stock" (Nahum
3:6). Our sin, like Nineveh's, has become the shame and
disgrace of the world. The rest of the world blushes at our
wickedness. When visiting the charming old city of Guadalajara,
Mexico I see America's filth being unabashedly delivered up to
these people through movies, magazines, music, and pornography.
America deals out more of these vile presentations of evil than
any other nation on earth. The "gazing stock"
mentioned above was a punishment dealt in the form of public
humiliation. Those being punished were placed on public display,
with their head, hands, and feet bound to a wooden wheel or board.
A sign was hung over their head stating their crimes. Webster's
describes a contemporary "gazing stock" as: A person
or thing gazed at with scorn or abhorrence; an object of curiosity
or contempt. Is this God's plan for America? Will America be
made a public example of God's contempt toward a sinful nation?
Answer this question in your heart: Will America not be
held accountable for the evil and sin that she delivers up to the
entire world?
Consider:
If there is one nation or one people that creates 70% of the filth
that corrupts the world, will it not be that nation that God
strikes down as an example of His anger? Or do you believe
that God no longer punishes entire nations and its peoples for
their sins?
Even
non-Christians recognize the trouble coming
In book after book, and daily news articles, secular financial
experts warn of the soon-coming economic crash. They have seen the
handwriting on the wall, and they're frightened. One well-known
financial advisor announced that he has "cashed out in
preparation for what is being anticipated as the world's worst
depression".
Washington Post news article March 17, 2006
"The government bumped up against its $8.18 trillion
statutory debt ceiling in February 2006, forcing the Treasury to
borrow from employee pension funds to keep the government
operating. After weeks of pleading from Treasury Secretary John W.
Snow, the Senate took the politically unpalatable but economically
critical step of raising the ceiling for borrowing to $8.96
trillion. Under House rules, the debt limit was raised last year
without a vote when lawmakers approved a budget."
"It was the fourth debt-ceiling increase in the past five
years, after boosts of $450 billion in 2002, a record $984 billion
in 2003 and $800 billion in 2004. The statutory debt limit has now
risen by more than $3 trillion since."
Add to that the escalating terrorist alerts and it is becoming
remarkably clear that devastation is very near.
Consider: Do you believe that a nation as established and
powerful as America can fall? As a sample of the dire straits the
US economy is in; when was the last time you researched the
condition of the US social security system? It's completely broke,
did you know that? Denying what is so readily visible is just
another way of lying to yourself. Ignoring it won't make it go
away.
Please
allow me here to quote my dear friend and pastor, Robert Benn
Vincent:
"Can we not deduce principles of general equity from the
whole of Scripture and frame our lives and policies accordingly?
The Bible indicates that there is a connection between obedience
and blessing, including financial blessing in this life:
"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any
people." (Proverbs 14:34.) "If the righteous receive
their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the
sinner!" (Proverbs 11:31.) Of course, Job is written to let
us know that there is some fine print in the contract and that God
will sacrifice everything in our lives so that we will have a
closer walk with him."
Humanistic
agenda
The agenda of the liberal humanists that control America is
clear: to do away with God by denying the conscience He has given
us. Virtue is ridiculed, evil is praised as good and liberating,
and the good prescribed to us by God-given moral standards is
mocked as being merely the narrow-minded thinking of a past
generation.
Do we support sin through our government?
And Jesus said unto them,
Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and
unto God the things which be God's. Luke
20:25
Are
we to pay taxes to our government? Yes. But are we to allow a
government to be unaccountable to us for what is done with our
taxes? Are we to just hand over taxes and look the other way
as they are spent on ungodly, immoral, and soul-destroying
jurisprudence? No. We have carried this Biblical teaching of
rendering unto Caesar to the ultimate extreme. We have allowed the
U.S. government to regulate with impunity our businesses and even
our personal lives. We have been mislead, misdirected, misinformed
and lied to by those we have elected to office for too long. Now
that we have given them free reign, and the public offices are
filled with ungodly immoral men and women, the unthinkable has
happened; our taxes now support the mass murder of innocent
millions through abortion. Our tax paid courts and liberal judges
choose to protect and enforce the rights of pro-perversion agendas
and art forms over the rights of the decent people that would dare
stand up against such.
In America we recline in our leather easy-chairs and indolently
accept the warped censorship of the media as being
acceptable, rather than throwing out our pornography by turning
our TV off and refusing to support any of it or its sponsoring
advertisers. Most American citizens wouldn't dream of becoming
publicly, or even privately, pro-active against those companies
that sell filth. Would you like to see how complacent you have
become (or always have been)? When was the last time you spoke out
publicly against pornography? Have you ever written a letter or an
email to your government representatives demanding that morality
be restored to America? Have you ever marched with or supported an
anti-abortion group? Have you ever rebuked or at least refuted
anyone that promotes homosexuality? Have you promoted
boycotts of industries that support or promote immoral life
styles?
Why not, do you think that God will accept the current and ever
increasing fads of immorality as just being "sophisticated
open mindedness" with no punishment being due?
Acceptance
of immorality and sin by the people of a nation and its government
is a fast road to destruction, but yet the sin of all sins is
taking place in America. God is being removed from the halls of
justice in America. God is being denied in America. God is not
being allowed to receive worship by His children in America.
Old
Testament Warnings
The Old Testament prophecies of destruction were based on
sound Biblical deductions. The prophets were students of the
revealed Word of God. They studied history. They analyzed patterns
in past societies and compared them to that which was taking place
around them in their own society and times. To work from a
balanced view of how God dealt with His creation they became well
acquainted with God's mercy and His long-suffering endurance, as
well as His limits that brought on retributions for unrepentant
sin. And they were able to discern the trigger points of God's
wrath - that is, when God had enough of man's disobedience and
rebellion toward Him!
Daniel
was a very good example of an Old Testament prophet that
recognized the signs of the times. Daniel was a diligent student
of the Word. He came to understand the cause of the captivity of
Israel in Babylon by reading the writings of the previous
prophets. From their prophecies he calculated the end of the
captivity, the time the Messiah would come, how long He would live
and when He would die. "I Daniel
understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of
the Lord came to Jeremiah the Prophet" (Daniel 9:2).
Daniel
listed all the terrible things that were happening to God's people
in his day. He compared it all with Deuteronomy 28 and concluded, "The
curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law
of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him...
As it is written in the laws of Moses, all this evil is come upon
us... for we obeyed not his voice" (Daniel
9:11,13-14).
Moses
warned Israel that sin would bring any nation "into
desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be
astonished at it" (Leviticus 26:32).
As
a Christian some of you may not want to hear this kind of
discussion. Hearing it calls for you to either believe the Holy
written Word of God to be true and change your ways, or deny the
Gospel in its entirety and face judgment. Do you think you can
pick and choose the parts of God's Word that will suit your
present lifestyle? Do you desire to remain neutral and
non-proactive in your Christian faith? Sorry, that doesn't
work. You are either for Christ entirely and love God with all
your heart and soul and work to promote His teachings... or you
are anti-Christ (against Christ) by your neutrality. Regarding
complacent Christians in these last days Jesus said;
So
then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will
spew thee out of my mouth. Rev
3:16
Here,
please read this scripture again, and consider those nagging
thoughts that are trying to work their way out into the forefront
of your mind. Could it be that you are being prompted to become a
scoffer too?
“First
of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will
come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will
say, "Where is this `coming' he promised? Ever since our
fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of
creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago by
God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of
water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time
was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens
and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the Day of
Judgment and destruction of ungodly men.” 2Peter
3:3-7
The
scoffers’ skepticism is based upon evil desires which lead them
to prefer a view of the future in which there is no divine
judgment. The scoffers maintain that everything in the world goes
on without divine intervention.
Notice
that the emphasis in the above scoffers' scripture is on a
deliberate rejection of the word of God, or as some translations
put it, a "willing ignorance." Thus, it is a deliberate
action on a person's part not to believe. People refuse to believe
these things even when presented with evidence. Some people simply
do not want to be convinced. Ignoring the flood as a divine
intervention is not an oversight; it is deliberate. As is ignoring
the promise of God's coming wrath through fire this time.
We
read in Romans 1:20 that there is enough evidence to convince
everyone that God is Creator, so much so that we are condemned if
we do not believe. Furthermore, Romans 1:18 tells us that men "suppress
the truth in unrighteousness."
It
is not a matter of lack of evidence to convince people that the
Bible is true; the problem is they do not want to believe the
Bible. The reason for this is obvious. Let me re-emphasize; if
people believed in the God of the Bible, they would have to
acknowledge His authority and obey the rules He has laid down or
admit (even to themselves) that they will face the consequence.
Without forgiveness through Jesus, the consequence will be eternal
punishment.
Signs of the end of
the age
While there are many key
signs given to recognize the end of the age, several are repeated
consistently by Jesus Himself, and by the writers of the New
Testament.
You
can view Jesus' Mount Olivet prophecies and the fulfillment
of them taken from today's news here:
End
Times Prophecies
There
also is another prophetic scripture given by the Apostle Paul that
describes the General condition of the heart of men in the
last days. While reading it consider how many people in the U.S.
are described here.
But know this, that in the last days
perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves,
lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers,
without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors,
headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
having a form of godliness but denying its power. 2 Timothy
3:1-5
Men
love themselves, and desire power, money, to be worshipped, and
the fulfillment of lust and pleasure, but not God! - In our age,
self-esteem and loving yourself is in... boasting and pride
is not only acceptable, but is promoted. Consider the disgusting
show of pride every time a sports "hero" makes a goal
and then watch the foolish man worshipping antics of the sports
fans in the stands because "their team" has scored.
Family life is breaking down as people are becoming more
disobedient towards parents, unthankful, unloving, and
unforgiving.
God's
love remains the same forever, as does His anger and His due
wrath. For a
thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night.
Psalm 90:4
Hebrews 13:8
"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and
forever"
Consider:
Does God no
longer punish nations and peoples for their blatant sinfulness and
denial of Him? Will God allow Himself to be mocked? Is punishment
for sin only given in the hereafter?
A baptism of filth:
God has every right to punish America for the extreme sin taking
place within her borders. What is different about America from
wicked Sodom with its sexual perversions and immoralities? Are we
better than Noah's generation? Or Lot's generation? Are we better
than the wicked people of No-Amon? Are we more deserving of mercy
than Nineveh, which God wiped out due to their outright rebellion
toward, and denial, of Him? Considering all past evidences of
God's fury against sinful nations, why should He spare us, since
we are committing acts seven times worse than any of these wicked
people of past history?
Nahum's
warning to Nineveh is a warning to us also: "Thou
also shall be drunken: thou shall be hid" (Nahum
3:11). America is drunken with lust, drugs, violence, evil,
immoral sex, perversions, and intoxicated with a depraved and
worldly distorted concept of success and prosperity. "Thou
shall be hid" means this country will become
powerless, reduced to nothing, unable to take action or to solve
problems. Our mortal enemies will plunder us. Society will crumble
under the weight of our unsolvable problems.
"This
is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her
heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a
desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! Every one that
passes by her shall hiss, and wag his hand" (Zephaniah
2:15). Israel once became so wicked that even the heathen "daughters
of the Philistines... are ashamed of thy lewd way" (Ezekiel
16:47).
America
is now inundated with pornography, it is a multi-billion-dollar
business. Ten years ago much of it was imported, but today the US
is the biggest exporter of pornographic sin in all the world. As
of November 2006 there are over 100 million websites online. It is
estimated that 1% of those sites (1 million) are pornographic in
nature. America currently is the source for more than 700,000 of
those pornographic web sites on line.
Scripture shows that when Israel lusted for meat in the desert He
gave them more than they could stomach: "You
shall not eat one day, not two days, nor five days... (but)
until it come out at your nostrils, and it
be loathsome unto you" (Numbers 11:19-20). In other
words; You want a diet of sin and filth America? Well, have
it till it chokes you. You've allowed it to be a part of your
lifestyle, in fact, through your worship of movie stars, sports
heroes, porno kings, and rap trash, you've made America the sinful
nation it is today. You wanted sin, you've got it. Now deal with
it. Your sin has surely become your curse.
Through
the acceptance and promotion of homosexual lifestyles, our nation
not only accepts, but demands the right to partake in sins with no
condemnation.
The
Timing of His Judgment
When will all this fall upon us? Nahum said of Nineveh, "The
Lord has given a commandment concerning thee... will I cut off...
for thou art vile" (Nahum 1:14). I believe God already
has given the commandment to bring forth all these prophesied
judgments. It all has been set in motion.
What about the people of God?
What are we facing? Again, we are driven to the Word to find
our what the Lord declared and performed in the past.
Has
not God always delivered His people in past desolations? Let's
search the Scriptures: Noah and his family escaped the flood. Were
they preserved? Yes! Did Daniel and the Hebrew children survive
the furnace and lion's den? Yes! Did Lot and those who heeded
God's warnings perish in Sodom? No they were warned, they heeded
the warning and escaped!
Didn't
Jesus warn the Jews to flee Jerusalem when invading armies
approached? He said, "When you shall
see Jerusalem compassed with armies... flee to the mountains...
depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter"
(Luke 21:20-21). And in 70AD Jerusalem was destroyed while
the obedient ones escaped - remembering the Lord's warning.
Even
to the wicked Nineveh, for the sake of even one righteous man, God
gave this glorious message: "The Lord
is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows them
that trust in him" (Nahum 1:7). Those who listen and
obey have always been saved.
His
stronghold is a fortified house of rock: "In
thee, O Lord, do I put my trust... Be thou my strong rock, for an
house of defense to save me. For thou art my rock and my
fortress" (Psalm 31:1-3).
Tempting God
But are we to tempt God and remain a supportive member of a
country that is consuming itself with sin, one that surely God is
angry with? God is clear, very clear, about whether you are to be
among a sinful people, whether it be your household, your town, or
a nation. Remember, God destroyed entire nations due to the
sinfulness of the majority. While many were not partakers of the
sins, yet because they stood by and accepted these sins, they were
destroyed along with the evil ones. Do you allow your government
to spend your tax dollars on abortion and pro-homosexual agendas?
Do you allow pornography to be sold in your neighborhood
bookstores and to be shown on national TV channels? If so, then by
your complacency you support and take part in the sins of the
nation and will be held accountable by God.
2Cr
6:14 Be you not unequally yoked together
with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with
unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness?
2Cr
6:15 And what concord has Christ with
Belial? Or what part has he that believeth with an infidel?
2Cr
6:16 And what agreement has the temple of
God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God; as God
has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be
their God, and they shall be my people.
2Cr
6:17 Wherefore come out from among
them, and be you separate, says the Lord, and touch not the
unclean; and I will receive you.
The Trumpet is about to sound, the judgments will soon begin.
Prepare now for God's imminent judgments - by setting your
heart on Jesus, the once and for all sacrifice that God has
offered to us. Jesus is our spiritual provided refuge.
Yet there may be a time that we should seek physical refuge.
I commend you to first commit the keeping of your body and soul to
our gracious and merciful Lord.
But if God's Holy Spirit moves on you to leave the sinful nation,
then do so, and do so quickly. Through out history God has
warned His beloved to flee, to take refuge, and even to build an
arc in the middle of a desert to avoid His coming wrath. Where
will you go to seek a place of refuge from the coming wrath, New
York City, San Francisco, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Los Angeles,
Miami? I think not.
In
every age God has communicated His warnings to the people in
different ways. He spoke with Moses face-to-face, to Joshua
through an angel, and to the Old Testament prophets in visions and
dreams. And today God is speaking again - loud and clear.
Finally,
Jesus forewarned us of a day coming - so frightful, men's hearts
would fail them for fear, beholding the horrors coming on the
earth. Then He said, "Look up and rejoice, for your
redemption draws near."
I pray that God will allow us to live to see the day of the return
of Jesus.
Humbly
before God, a servant in Christ Jesus, Barry L. Brumfield

Thessalonians 5: 2-6: For yourselves
know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come as a thief in
the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden
destruction will come upon them, as travail upon a woman with
child; and they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in
darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. You are
all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not
of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do
others; but let us watch and be sober.
Wake up, America, in the Name of God, I plead with you,
WAKE UP! Your sins are about to destroy you all.
