When the Sons of Israel entered the Promised Land, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob warned them against the the wicked practices of the Canaanites. The Canaanites had given themselves to the most awful wickedness, and now their land was spewing them out.
Yahweh warned His people that if they turned to the same wickedness practiced by the Canaanites—sexual perversion and the slaughter of their own babies, for instance—the Promised Land would spew them out, too...
You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the LORD. You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. Also you shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion. Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have become defiled. For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has spewed out its inhabitants.
But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments and shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native, nor the alien who sojourns among you (for the men of the land who have been before you have done all these abominations, and the land has become defiled); so that the land will not spew you out, should you defile it, as it has spewed out the nation which has been before you. (Leviticus 18:21-28)
No one can deny that God shed His grace on these United States for several centuries. But what now? Should we not expect our land to spew us out as the Promised Land spewed out the Sons of Israel and the Canaanites before them? Are we not walking the same paths of wickedness? Our women lie with other women, our men with other men. The internet sells bestiality and our nation is filled with perverts who treat and speak of their cats and dogs as "children" and put them on dialysis. And each year we sacrifice somewhere between one quarter and one half of our little babies to our demon gods.
But if our land, what about the rest of the world? According to Planned Parenthood's Guttmacher Institute, and as reported in the The Lancet, worldwide there are well over 50,000,000 little babies slaughtered by their parents each year. This does not include the little babies slaughtered by abortifacient forms of birth control, nor the growing number of babies who die from morning-after abortifacients such as Plan B.
This means a burned offering, a holocaust of little babies is carried out each year that is ten to twenty times larger than the holocaust of Hitler's Third Reich. Every single year, year after year, decade after decade. This death toll is in the billions, now.
Do we read our Bibles? Do we tremble before God? Do our pastors and elders warn us of the coming judgment of this whole earth?
Or maybe God has changed?
