WHEN A NATION GOES BLIND

"In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is king." ~Erasmus

America is mostly blind. I know some would argue, but truth be told, this country has all but no vision left whatsoever.

The America I grew up in is dead.

Dennis Miller said it best the other night when asked about his thoughts on America ever getting back on track. He said, "I don't think this comes back during my lifetime (he is 59)... I do believe it comes back the same way an alcoholic who has a brush with mortality will eventually come back... someone will have a stroke or somebody will almost croak from alcohol poisoning physically, and maybe then we pull it back; but this thing is not edging back... the inmates are now subletting the asylum... these are the times that try men's souls but fail to test their mettle!"

I can't agree more... the one-eyed jester is now king and the blind worship the jester because they can't see who he really is.

America the great is gone. She sleeps in the dust like all who have gone before her. You may say, “You're wrong, we're fine. We finally have someone who really understands and cares for us." Well… I will let the prophet Jeremiah speak to that...

“Hear this, you foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear”: “Should you not fear Me?” declares the Lord. “Should you not tremble in My presence? But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away. They do not say to themselves, ‘Let us fear Yahweh our God, who gives autumn and spring rains in season, who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’ Your wrongdoings have kept these away; your sins have deprived you of good. Among My people are wicked men who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch men. Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it, they do not defend the rights of the poor. Should I not punish them for this?” declares the Lord. “Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this? “A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land: The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and My people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?"

I agree with Mr. Miller... America will not recover. America is dark, though she believes she is in the light... but as Jesus said, "If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"… so America has become.

This is a time of reckoning. Groaning and sorrows lie just ahead. There is only One hope, but that hope is not based in perception or imagination, but in truth; not a truth derived from subjectivity, conjecture or relativity, but that which is immutable and never changing, indelible and unwavering…  truth that is eternal. All roads do not lead to Rome, and all good souls do not go to heaven. The guarantee is fixed, “…at the name of Y’shua/Jesus every knee WILL bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Y’shua/Jesus the Messiah is Lord/Adonai, to the glory of God the Father.”

The prophet was right, the traps were set and the snares have all now been sprung. The cages are full. But the saddest part of it all, history once again repeats itself, and once again the die is cast… what must happen, will happen.
