What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. ~Ecclesiastes 1:9 As much as we Americans hope and pray that our children and their children can live out their lives in peace with abundance or at least with enough; it probably won’t happen. Today most working Americans, if fortunate enough to find and keep a job, are less able to provide for themselves and their children than their parents and their grandparents did just a few years ago.   I understand that the average savings for retirement for most Americans is around $25,000. That won’t last them a year even with a Social Security check. I have heard rumors of a mysterious and huge currency change coming in the latter part of October this year. Mysterious only because few people in this country actually understand money. However, it doesn’t require a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist to understand that one can’t spend something that they don’t have for very long without a day of reckoning.   Brace yourself for impact! The day of reckoning is just around the corner! Look around! How many people that you see shopping in your local Walmart actually look healthy?   What percentage of them are obese?   If and when the shelves of Walmart are empty, or the pharmacy’s are depleted of drugs that have become a staple in America; how long will we survive as a nation?   What if the Internet suddenly stops working?   You don’t think that is possible?   As horrible as it is to consider, it’s very possible. Peace!  What peace?  Already we are people who are very afraid of our local neighbors.  We have come to the point that we check our children in and out of Sunday School.   A vast number of Americans carry concealed handguns everywhere they go. There seems to be little trust one for another. Instead we have political correctness to deal with, and if we don’t deal with it properly we will most probably be considered perverted, racist or religious fanatics. The real perverts are now lawfully becoming husband and husband or wife and wife.  Again, it doesn’t take a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist to understand that this simply isn’t right. Arrogance has become a real problem in the ranks of the Y-Generation. Evidently many of them believe that there is a place similar to “The Big Rock Candy Mountain.” In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you're going on a holiday Your birthday comes around once a week and it’s Christmas every day You never have to clean your room or put your toys away There's a little white horse you can ride of course You can jump so high you can touch the sky In the Big Rock Candy Mountains. Nothing has changed under the sun. Including Almighty God! He is eternally the same.  Time  is a dimension He created for us humans. He has provided us  liberty, faith, grace and time that we may know Him, trust Him, love and obey Him. Read below what happened to the nation of Moab.  And, never forget what happened  to Germany and  Japan a little over seventy years ago! All this could happen to America too. "We have heard of the pride of Moab— he is very proud—of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.   I know his insolence, declares the Lord; his boasts are false, his deeds are false."  ~Jeremiah 48: 29-30 "For thus says the Lord: “Behold, one shall fly swiftly like an eagle and spread his wings against Moab;   the cities shall be taken and the strongholds seized.  The heart of the warriors of Moab shall be in that day like the heart of a woman in her birth pains;   Moab shall be destroyed and be no longer a people, because he magnified himself against the Lord.   Terror, pit, and snare are before you, O inhabitant of Moab!  declares the Lord.   He who flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he who climbs out of the pit shall be caught in the snare.  For I will bring these things upon Moab, the year of their punishment, declares the Lord."  ~Jeremiah 48: 40-44 Pray for America!
