“The word of ADONAI came to me: ‘“Human being, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes that can see, but they don’t take notice; and they have ears that can hear, but they don’t pay attention; because they are a rebellious people.”’                    ~Ezekiel 12:1-2, Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) ADONAI is a Hebrew name for Almighty God. In this passage Almighty God is speaking to Ezekiel about the house of Judah. These words are very descriptive of the America that we live in today. Jonathan Cahn, a Messianic Jewish Rabbi, claims in his opening words at this year’s National Day of Prayer service that there are only two civilizations with the solitary foundations of God’s calling and purpose, and they were; first Israel and second America. And, like Israel, America has failed to follow God’s wishes. Almost four hundred years ago John Winthrop, Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, said: “Therefore let us choose life, that we and our seed, may live; by obeying His voice, and cleaving to Him, for He is our life, and our prosperity.” Winthrop was first to use the words referring to America as a “City upon a hill.” Only because of Almighty God’s promise is there any hope for America; “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”’                   ~2 Chronicles 7:13-14 It is very sad that we have forsaken the Almighty God who has blessed America from her very beginning. Because of our selfishness, our arrogance, our disobedience and our disregard for Him as the only sovereign God, our Nation is backed up to the edge of a very high cliff with no where to go but down. It will take a miracle of the same power used in parting the Red Sea to heal America. I pray that He will heal our land.
