Amidst all the talk of “righteousness” and values, what does God say?
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you; Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations (Ezekiel 5:7-9).
This prophecy is for the end time—and the context shows it is directed to the United States of America! Our free book Ezekiel: The End-Time Prophetexplains this in further detail.
Ezekiel explains the utter national collapse that will follow, including death and destruction the likes of which has never before been seen. So instead of merely hiding national sins under a supposed umbrella of national righteousness, we ought to take an honest look at where this nation is heading—what has taken place for God Himself to be personally against us.
We are not a righteous people. But we don’t have to stay that way. While the above numbers are enormous, so too is the impact of even just one who is willing to change.
