I am feeling like a lone voice in the wilderness. I sometimes wonder if I am related to Jeremiah. Jeremiah was left behind in a desolate city by the Babylonian captors, asked some pointed questions. How did it happen that a city once full of people, visited by kings and queens of other nations, now lay desolate and empty? There was no echo of people calling in its streets. Anything of value now rested in different homes, in other temples. How could it happen? Indeed, why do great men and women—like great cities—fail to maintain their greatness and fall short of their destiny? Jeremiah had the answers to these questions. What he needed was someone to listen to the truth.
King Zedekiah sent Pashur to inquire of the Lord through Jeremiah concerning Jerusalem. Jeremiah’s response had three parts:
(1) The answer to the king’s hope that the Lord would intervene to save Jerusalem from the Chaldeans (see Jeremiah 21:4–7) was clear: there was no hope.
(2) Counsel on how the people and the royal family could preserve their lives by surrendering to the Chaldeans rather than fighting them (see vv. 8–10).
(3) A prophecy concerning the house of David (see 21:11–14; 22:1–9), to which Jeremiah gave an alternative: If the king and his people turned back to righteousness, the throne of David would be preserved (see Jeremiah 22:4), but if not, it would “become a desolation” (v. 5).
I see some parallels with what is happening in American.
Many of my friends and fellow Christians believe President Trump will remain our president. They believe what several Bible prophecy experts say that President Trump will stay in office regardless of the MSM and election fraud. President Trump is yet to conceded defeat and Christians up and down the country cling on to hopes from the Bible that could turn the election results in his favor. After a month of failed lawsuits and unsubstantiated cries of electoral fraud, Biden looks to have his victory certified on December 14 by the Electoral College.
Many are telling me to have faith that the LORD is in control. I agree the LORD is in control, and I do not have the greater picture of what His plans are concerning this election. If, as I believe Biden will become president, then the plans of the LORD are not being revealed to those who claim President Trump will remain president.
I am a firm believer that the LORD placed Trump in the office to give America four years to repent of our sin and iniquity. We may have been asking the LORD to forgive us, but we did not turn from our wicked ways, and our land was not healed. The results of not turning from our evil ways will lead us to desolation.
I will not be shocked to hear on December 14 that Biden will be elected president. I will not lose my faith because Biden is president. I am prepared for what is coming.
For almost four years, I have heard that the swamp was going to be drained, that a long list of people would be arrested and tried for treason, and Trump would win this election by a landslide. I believe President Trump attempted to drain the swamp, I think he would like to have seen Attorney General Barr do his job and bring the traitors to justice, and I think Trump won this election by a landslide. However, the powers that run this country are more powerful than most people can imagine. The people who run this country, the members of the Synagogue of Satan, know that the time is short and what they must do, they must do quickly. The world has been conditioned for these minions of Satan to gain final control and set in motion the final conflict about to come upon the earth.
While America is focused on the election and the COVID-19 virus, our attention has been misdirected from world events that are taking place. The major conflicts that are world-changing events are taking place in Turkey, Iran, Syria, China, Russia, and Israel. The world is rapidly moving to final battles prophecied in the Bible, and American Christians are focused on an election and a virus and wearing masks. The American Christian is so self-centered in thinking they are unique, and the LORD will not judge them for their sins and iniquity. America is not the center of Bible prophecy, and Trump is not the great Deliver for Christians. I pray that I am wrong, and my friends are right, but I have little faith concerning this election and the direction America is headed.
The primary teaching of Jeremiah 22:10–30 is that the Lord’s fairest and most beloved people, Judah, faced great tragedy because of their iniquity. The people were not to mourn for their lost kings. Instead, they should mourn the impending disaster and turn aside from their evil ways.
We could learn much from Jeremiah.
