| The key to understanding our future is veiled in the shadow of the Hebrew Prophets as it pertains to Israel.
“I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?”Benjamin Franklin.[1]
Ecc 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Ecc 3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
“I have no trouble with the parts of the bible that I don’t understand, it’s the parts I do understand that trouble me”. Mark Twain
The Relationship between The United States and Israel are best characterized
as brothers One Elder and Prosperous and a brute to deal with the other cunning, shrewd a real survivor, and in his own right prosperous as well.
Israel precedes, America by 2500 years. In the lasts days, America comes to power before Israel is regathered in the 20th century. America has in the last two centuries been a safe haven for the Diaspora.
In the fight for our national sovereignty, Jews of the Americas as well as Europe contributed to the war effort to the amount of 1,000,000. One partner to Robert Morris, Hiaym Solomon was invaluable in securing funds for the American Revolution. It has been said that as a reward for his service to the war effort Hayim asked nothing for himself but for the Jewish people. So it has been asserted that the memorial of the Jewish contribution to our Physical freedom can be seen on the back of the Dollar bill in the form of a Star of David on the Great Seal.[2]
The Reason for the success of the American Revolution was not in the strategic prowess of the colonial settlers, or the financial aid she received, but in the blessing of divine providence according to the purposes known only to God. Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, Adams, and countless others testify to the unwavering deliverances they came to acknowledge at the war’s end.
This book is not an effort to prove when America will fall as a beacon of Liberty, that would require omniscience, rather to declare the why it will.
If you truly knew the reason why America truly rose to prominence, and took her place among the Nations, then you would have some insight concerning her demise. The First recognized world empire that got honorable mention in the scriptures was none other than Babylon/Iraq. Funny isn’t it that Iraq figures so proximately in the News of late.
Incidentally over 2600 years ago a leader of an Empire got a lesson in foreign policy from a remote country. To his surprise he learned who was really on whose leash.
(Dan 4:27) Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquility.
(Dan 4:28) All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
(Dan 4:29) At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
(Dan 4:30) The king spoke, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?
(Dan 4:31) While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
(Dan 4:32) And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
It is Allmighty GOD who sets up and pulls down among the nations.
(Pro 21:1) The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
Isa 44:28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
Isa 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have Holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will lose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
These are but a few examples of how God rules and reigns in the affairs of men.
Benjamin Franklin who was a deist in the beginning of his life, deferring to his practical observation he made of the proceedings of the war with England. He had numerous correspondence with those who experienced firsthand of the miraculous deliverance’s that saw them through the battle with the then worlds “Super Power”.
What needs to be remembered at this point of history is that this courageous effort for liberty began over 150 years earlier in England with the Plymouth brethren.
The Pilgrims left England for Holland then after a few years the decision was made to establish a settlement in the “New World.” The Pilgrims weren’t the first to make the move; in 1607 Jamestown was settled and resettled then resupplied. The mortality rate was rather high. It has been said that Jamestown was settled in the pursuit of Gold, Plymouth in the pursuit of God. Gov. William Bradford wrote of this in his history “of Plymouth Plantation”
The Pilgrims claimed the promises made to Israel concerning the conquest of the New World. As time passed God would grant the blessings sought by their righteous pursuit.
(Deu 28:1) And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
(Deu 28:7) The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
(Deu 28:8) The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
(Deu 28:9) The LORD shall establish thee a holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
This was the pursuit of the pilgrims and the resulting 150 + years of piety in the American home was culminated in the generation of patriots who as free men declared a state of Liberty in a United Nation of States under God.
Warren Buffet stated that “the American Economy is the greatest engine of wealth invented by man.” (Deu 8:17) And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
(Deu 8:18) But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
I guess Warren never read this part of the bible. God is maker of rich and poor alike. Even if Mr. Buffet is an avowed atheist, it is the Lord who gave him his sharp mind, and allows him to keep it. Remember Nebucadnezzer.
What God Blesses He can also Curse. (Deu 8:19) And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
(Deu 8:20) As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
Here are some of the curses upon the Nation, who forsakes GOD, be it Israel or the United States.
1. Calamites in Cities and Farmlands Deut 28:16
2. Food supply and Storage v17
3. Infantside, flock reproduction affected v18
4. Disease and Mildew/Mold.v19-22
5. Natural Disasters, Illegal immigration, undue preferential treatment above the citizens.v43
6. Become a nation of debtors rather than lenders. v44
7. Terror attacks by foreign invaders. (Lev 26:16) I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, < The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
Deu 28:50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young: > consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. (Lev 26:23) And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
(Lev 26:24) Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
(Lev 26:25) And I will bring a sword upon you that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
8. A high mortality rate among our military. This is part of the Judgment of GOD upon our nation. This is in no way a reflection upon the individual Soldier. GOD is sovereign in all scenarios. (Lev 26:38) And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
All of this is done in the hopes of getting the attention of the nation so they would repent of their present course of defiance, rather than a humble reliance upon G-D.
The Preceeding was a portion of a work to be made available before the years end.
