Has God's patience run out with America?

Last night I saw a homeland security report (www.homelandsecurityus.com) saying that instructions for a jihadist attack against America and the wider world the Tuesday following Ramadan… so the article inferred October 7th 2008.

The text addressing the nature, location and timing of the planned attack, although specific to the U.S., appears otherwise ambiguous. For instance, the timing appears to focus on the Tuesday following the end of Ramadan, which would be October 7, 2008. The nature of the attack is less clear. Although the author appears to talk about a strike greater in magnitude than the 9/11 attacks and makes reference to the possibility of it being nuclear in nature, the text references to the nuclear aspect of the attack appear somewhat muddled.

It’s scary, but I believe that the LORD’s patience with us as a nation has run out. I think it’s interesting, an article I saw once described America, being the only nation based on God’s word, other than the Jews… should suffer the same fate as the Jews. The Jews forsook God’s covenant, and he brought against them the Babylonians. We have done the same thing, in our wealth and prosperity, we have grown proud and denied the LORD. Now he is bringing against us the same people.


Jeremiah 22:5-9 5 "But if you will not obey these words, I swear by Myself," declares the LORD, "that this house will become a desolation."'" 6 For thus says the LORD concerning the house of the king of Judah: "You are like Gilead to Me, Like the summit of Lebanon; Yet most assuredly I will make you like a wilderness, Like cities which are not inhabited. 7 "For I will set apart destroyers against you, Each with his weapons; And they will cut down your choicest cedars And throw them on the fire. 8 "Many nations will pass by this city; and they will say to one another, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this great city?' 9 "Then they will 1answer, 'Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD their God and bowed down to other gods and served them.'"


Jeremiah 25:9 9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,' declares the LORD, 'and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land and against its inhabitants and against all these nations round about; and I will 1utterly destroy them and make them a horror and a hissing, and an everlasting desolation.

In God's wrath on our nation, which so deserves it, let us pray He remembers mercy.

Habakkuk 3:2 LORD, I have heard the report about You and I fear. O LORD, revive Your work in the midst of the years, In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.
