History Repeating Itself

Judges 10
6 Again the Israelites did evil in the LORD’s sight. They served the images of Baal and Ashtoreth, and the gods of Aram, Sidon, Moab, Ammon, and Philistia. They abandoned the LORD and no longer served him at all. 7 So the LORD burned with anger against Israel…

This pattern is depressing. Not just because it is ancient history, but because it is repeated by those who claim to love God to this day. The President of the United States of America has proclaimed that we are not a Christian Nation, but rather a Post-Christian Nation. It is the ONLY thing about which I have ever agreed with Barack Hussein Obama. I don’t share his radical, socialist views, nor do I think that Islam played a role in shaping this country until after Sept. 11, 2001, but I do agree that like the children of Israel in the book of Judges, Christians in America continue to do evil in the LORD’s sight (we elected a socialist, who thinks that killing babies born alive, but scheduled to be aborted is okay, now, didn’t we?). Why would we expect anything less than the anger of the LORD burning against us? I am not a prophet, nor do I claim to be one, but it is easy to see from the lessons of history that when God’s people turn their backs on Him, bad things happen. I’m afraid that bad things are very much on the way here.
