Attention, Please

If God were trying to get our attention, what would He use to do it?

In the Old Testament, He used drought, famine, and enemy attacks to get the Israelites to come back to their true God.  Israel was famous for abandoning their Glory for gods that demanded even as much as the life of their babies.  And God had to repeatedly use extreme measures to get their attention.

As He says, "Has any nation ever traded its gods for new ones, even though they are not gods at all? Yet my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols!" Jer. 2:11

America began as a Christian country.  There have been a number of revivals along the way which kept God in the forefront of our nation's thoughts and policies.  In the 1960's, America kicked God out of school and allowed our unborn babies to be offered up to the god of convenience. 

Since then, I have seen in my lifetime the weather become more extreme, progressively become more severe.  There are earthquakes in unusual places with bigger earthquakes in places that often have them.  Now drought - and accompanying food shortages - are coupled with a crushed economy.  We are at the mercy of foreign nations (See Ezekiel 7:21 and Hosea 8:7) for energy.  I've heard that most of Nevada is owned by people from other countries.  That is not considered to be a blessing according to God's Word.

"They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head; it will produce no flour. Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up."  Hosea 8:7  Here is both drought and foreign occupation.  Even if foreigners were not to literally take over the country, we are so in debt to other governments that everything we produce is owed to someone else.

We've been attacked at our embassies outside of the country and internally as well. 

I see the nation's economy being manipulated in such a way that our finances will utterly fail and the only way to redeem it will be to come up with a new currency and probably to join a one-world government.  Our country's economic situation is no accident. 

I can only see two ways of looking at this.  Either God is trying to get our attention and call us back to Himself, or we are on the edge of the end-times. 

Show me, if you can, where I'm wrong.

God go with you,

Kathi
