Gather yourselves together, indeed, gather,

O nation without shame,

Before the decree takes effect—

The day passes like the chaff—

Before the burning anger of Yahweh comes upon you,

Before the day of Yahweh’s anger comes upon you.

Seek Yahweh,

All you humble of the earth

Who have worked His justice;

Seek righteousness, seek humility.

Perhaps you will be hidden

In the day of Yahweh’s anger.

— Zephaniah 2:1-3 LSB

We still have time for repentance as a nation

Isaiah 55:6-9 NKJV

Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts."

The point Isaiah makes reminds us that the Lord, while patient, is not necessarily infinitely so. Take heed.

Amen. I think the all-out assault on children and innocence we're seeing now may be the final straw before God's judgment is unleashed.

ANOTHER "Amen", Cynthia! See http://www.danielgreenfield.org/2024/03/castrating-kids-to-win-elections.html.

The globalists/elitists want We The People dead; aborted; medically/physically maimed; starved via "crickanery" and other means -- including burning down food and food-related factories, etc -- and much more. This includes providing the means to make children and young adults wholly insecure about who and what they are, thereby rendering them mute and trapped in their own distorted worlds.

Lord, deliver us from these dark Isaiah 5:20 days!

if we are created in the image of God then we must be somewhat like Him. We do have limits to how long we put up with BS. Also, even with your own kids... who wants to be around a perpetual negative victim mentality woke person or a manipulator? there might be grace but that doesn't mean you are in the favored place.

Yes. As long as we’re still here.

Yes, we do. And it’s the people of faith who stand as the bulwark against madness and destruction. God was gracious in dealing with Lot, and agreed to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if only 1 righteous person was found in the land. Sadly, there wasn’t even that tiny amount found, and we all know what then ensued. But the effective prayers of a righteous man availith much. We must go before the mercy seat and pray for grace and restoration, because of the blood of Christ, shed for us.

Not to nitpick too strongly, but I think you may have typo'd - it was 10 righteous men, rather than just one. Lot and his family were found to be the only righteous ones, and had to flee the destruction.

Thank you for the correction. Wasn’t nit-picky at all. I should have looked up the verses but I relied on my memory. Not so smart at my age now! lol

all the nations hate Jesus and those who bear His name. They will all pledge allegiance to the antichrist.
