In this day and age, we have every opportunity, to do our homework, educate ourselves and to also, be reminded of history.
I am sure most folks have heard the expression,
"I can see the writing on the wall"
This is where a little history, explains where that came from.
"And this is the writing that was inscribed:
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN."
What does that mean?
"This is the interpretation of the matter:
MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end;
TEKEL, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting;
PERES, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."
"Then
Belshazzar commanded, and Daniel was clothed with purple, a chain of
gold was put about his neck, and proclamation was made concerning him,
that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom." Daniel 5:1-31
This truth applies to our country today.
We all came together when terrorist attacked us on 9/11
Where is that spirit now?
Why are masses flocking to "the one?"
We have been sold out for 30 pieces of silver.
I see an angry mob screaming out, "crucify him, crucify him"
Who is "him?"
Democracy, Truth, America, land of the free?
"God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end"
We have been weighed in the balances and found wanting;
Our kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians
Our country, turned their back on God. 9/11 was a prelude of things to come.
Those things, are upon us.
Terrorism has taken on a whole new meaning in this country.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall
humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their
wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
Will we?
