Brother Jim,
God bless you brother. I am forwarding
this to everyone on my email list. If it duplicates with some that you
may have on your list that is okay too. Brother, this has to be more
than coincidence but I preached on this same subject Sunday morning.
I didn't receive your email and get to watch the video until yesterday. It
is a wonderful video and I highly recommend it to all of God's people.
However I have a few of my own comments I want to make regarding the subject.
I title the following.....
The
Imminent Demise of America
I am personally convinced that the call
to action is too little coming too late. I know that some
[perhaps many] will disagree with me and condemn me for saying so, but it
is too late to save this nation from destruction and worse. The Lord
warns in Psalm 11:3, "If the foundations be destroyed, what can
the righteous do?" The obvious answer to this question
is "Nothing!" When the "foundations" that
have held a good and righteous society together are destroyed, there is nothing
that even God's people can do to avert national judgment and disaster. If
morally decent people really want to "save this nation," then the effort to
do so should have started back in the 30s or 40s when the moral and spiritual
foundations that this nation was founded upon first came under attack
by the wicked anti-God political Socialists of the wo! rld. They have
spent 70 + years sowing their damnable seed in our society, and now it is
time to harvest the crop. Today some call these people Democrats.
Others call them Republicans. I call them "termites."
National salvation only comes
with national repentance before God. That isn't happening and there is no
evidence to indicate that it is going to happen. Political action, writing
your congressman, protesting and demonstrating, marching in the streets, sending
deluges of emails, etc. has never saved any nation in human history.
Nations are saved only by national repentance before God Almighty who
created them. Israel is the prime example in the Bible and human history.
When Israel nationally turned away from God, then the Lord allowed their
enemies to come upon them and bring them into bondage and oppression.
Then when they nationally turned back to the Lord and cried out to Him, He
would deliver them from their enemies. This can be seen over and over
again in the Book of Judges, 1st & 2nd Samuel, 1st &
2nd Kings, 1st & 2nd Kings, and the various ! ;prophetical
books. And it works! The Book of Jonah gives
us absolute proof that national repentance will bring national deliverance
and salvation to any truly repentant nation. Has it come to the place
where even God's people don't learn anything from the Word? Without
national repentance there will be no national
salvation. Period!
My message Sunday morning was entitled,
"The Imminent Demise of the United States of America." I pointed
out in my message that it is not the enemies from without that are destroying
this nation, but rather the nation is being destroyed by the moral and
spiritual rot within. But because of moral rot within, the Lord then
permits [and even raises up] enemies from without to come upon the nation.
This nation is already so far gone that it is right now experiencing major
invasions from three sources, and the masses of people in this country
are so morally and spiritually corrupt and blind that they don't even know
that such is occurring.
The three major enemies that the Lord
has permitted to come upon this land to bring about our total destruction
as a nation, and who are invading the nation right now as I write are:
1. From the West....The Sodomite
Homosexual movement which began in California many years ago has become a
militant movement sweeping eastward into every hamlet, village, city, and
town in the United States. The Sodomites are succeeding in
swaying public opinion in their behalf, and are constantly pushing to get
"hate crime" laws [and other laws] passed to protect their perverted lifestyle
and give them "legal" and social respectibility [Sic!....when donkeys
fly!]. It is obvious that they have one goal in mind, and that
is to totally subjugate and destroy real Bible believing Christianity
and to dominate the whole society of this nation. They are dedicated
to turning the entire nation into one big "whore house." The streets
of America will soon belong to the invading Sodomites.
2. From the South....The illegal
immigrant movement is invading the U.S. from the south. Thousands are
pouring across the borders every month with the full knowledge of our
government. The government refuses to stop it [while pretending
to be against it] because our government "insiders" are carrying out
the agenda of the New World Order. There is already an organized group
of Mexican terrorists who have dedicated themselves to bringing the entire
southwestern U.S. back under the control of Mexican "governors,"
first by illegal immigration, and then when it becomes necessary by military
force. Again, most of the American people are so morally and spiritually
dull witted they haven't even figured out what is happening. It's not
just illegal immigration, stupid. It's an invasion!
3. From the East....The Muslims
are invading the U.S. from the nations of the Middle East. According
to various statistics there is already an estimated 8 to 12 million of them
that are living in the United States, some legally and some illegally. The
FBI reports acknowledge that Muslim terrorist cells have already been
established in most of the larger cities of America, and the leaders of those
cells are only waiting for orders from their superiors to set off nuclear
or dirty bombs in an "American Hiroshima." And the American public?
The news media, the government, the educational system, even those sweet "broadmindeded"
preachers and churches, are telling the public how we need to love the Muslims,
study their culture [Sic!], be tolerant of them, and learn about [and maybe
even embrace] their "peaceful and loving religion." Sic! Sic!
Sic! We are being invaded by the most! rotten, bloody, religion
on the face of the earth right now while I write, and most of the morally
and spiritually bankrupt American people are not even aware of what is going
on.
This nation is finished! It will
soon cease to exist except in the memories of the few who will be fortunate
enough to survive it's demise. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself stated
three times in the New Testament, "Every kingdom divided against
itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against
itself shall not stand," Matthew 12:25. See
also Mark 3:24-25 and Luke 11:17. I
was born and raised in this country. I have lived here all 73 years
of my life. I love this country. I love my fellow citizens, and
have devoted my life to living for and serving them through the ministry my
Lord graciously gave me. But I have honestly never seen a
time previously in my whole life when this nation was so divided. Instead
of being united as "Americans," we see the peopl! e today pitted against each
other. As a nation we are divided politically, educationally, economically,
militarily, spiritually and morally, and by race, culture, and language.
Yes, I hear all the blabber ["propaganda"] about our "tolerance" of one
another, and how our "divisions are our strength." Sic! These
are the rantings of hypocrites who are in denial, refusing to face the
fact that we are dying as a nation from internal moral rot from within, and
are being attacked by enemies from without. It was the Lord
Jesus Christ Himself who said that a nation in such a condition "is
brought to desolation."
Whether
my readers like it or not, America is finished. Our enemies, both
within and without, have a death grip on the throat of America and are strangling
it to death. Very soon now the final death blow will come, and the America
that once was the greatest, most righteous nation on earth will become
only a fading memory.
Go ahead!
Let our readers scream "Pessimist!" "Defeatist!" "Traitor!" at
me. Go ahead! Scream all you want. But it won't change a
thing. What I have written is right before your eyes. It is happening
and you know it! The Word of God still says,
"Righteousness exalteth a
nation: but sin is a reproach to any people," Proverbs
14:34.
"The wicked shall
be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget
God," Psalm 9:17.
I am sure
I will also be castigated by some for "doing nothing" to "save this nation." Folks, Almighty
God didn't call me [or anyone else] to "save the nation." He called
me to preach His Word, and in doing so, "to make ready a
people prepared for the Lord," Luke 1:17. God's people
were not put here to "save the nation" or to "save the world." We
were put here to "call out" people from this evil world system, and prepare
them for a better world through a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus
Christ. The great "calling out" [rapture] by Christ Himself is coming
very soon. In view of where we are in God's great plan of the ages,
and of how very little time we have left, perhaps those who claim to be "Christians"
should get their priorities back in line with the Great Commission given by
Christ Himself, Matthe! w 28:18-20. Get your
eyes and mind off of "saving the nation" and get on with the business of bringing
lost souls to a saving knowledge of Christ.
Am I advocating we "do nothing" to stem
the tide of wickedness that has swept over this whole nation?
Absolutely not! I have stood against the tide of wickedness throughout
the 53 years of my ministry, and I shall continue to stand against it as long
as I draw the breath of life. Those who have been acquainted with me
across the years can testify that I am neither a pacifist nor a coward. And
if worse comes to worse this side of the rapture, then I will go down fighting,
for I would rather die as a free man than live as a slave.
Praise God!
All I really have to say to my fellow
Americans in view of these things is the same thing Almighty God said to Israel
long ago, "Oh America! Prepare to meet thy God."
With a breaking heart and deepest sorrow,
Pastor F. M. Riley

Archive "Wake Up, America" Jim Bramlett Apr 30, 2007 |
A must-see video presentation of the mortal dangers immediately facing the U.S. is titled "Wake Up, America," and is at http://usawakeup.org . This is hot!
Coincidentally, in 1994 I wrote a newspaper article also titled, "Wake Up, America," which won me a prestigious Amy Writing Award. The recognition was nice, but unfortunately, America didn't wake up. In fact, things have become worse.
We should be hearing this message from top politicians and the mainstream media, but we are not, and never will, because it is not "politically correct," a modern social sickness that may destroy us.
The video very graphically describes two main threats: (1) radical Islam and (2) out-of-control immigration. Either or both can destroy this country.
Open borders are allowing terrorists to flow through unimpeded. Border control is almost non-existent. When agents try to do their job, they are persecuted and thrown into prison. Massive numbers are resigning. Government and both parties give lip service to the problem but do nothing about it due to politics and political correctness. This is a scandal of the highest order.
Former CIA director George Tenet said recently that Al Qaeda is already in the U.S., just waiting for orders. Al Qaeda may be waiting until they have portable nukes in place so their strike will be devastating and final. According WorldNetDaily, captured al-Qaida leaders and documents (show) "the plan is called the 'American Hiroshima' and involves the multiple detonation of nuclear weapons already smuggled into the U.S. over the Mexican border with the help of the MS-13 street gang and other organized crime groups."
Such a devastating strike could cripple our economy and bring anarchy throughout the nation, with no power, no water, no communications, and no food. People will be killing each other to survive. This hell on earth may be closer than most people think.
A study by a top U.S. Senate committee said it is not a matter of "if" but "when" America will be hit with a nuke or nukes. This study was done years ago before Islam was revealed as such an imminent threat.
Islamists are now wined and dined at the White House, elected to Congress, and given preferential treatment in our society, such as in our universities where Saudi oil money (read that "our gas money") has established propaganda centers and our young people are being brainwashed. America is in a self-destruct mode, constructed, aided, and abetted by politicians, academia, and the media. And they will all go down together into one big heap.
I believe the dangers and warnings in this video will come to full fruition and reality after the rapture. There was never a more compelling time than today to get right with God by casting oneself totally on the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.
In 1995 I wrote an essay circulated worldwide titled "God's Judgment on America," in which I described what I saw from a biblical standpoint, including America in prophecy and where we might fit in. I believe the insights are still valid and timely. If you are interested, the essay is online at http://choicesforliving.com/spirit/part4/judgement.htm .
It appears that judgment is already here, and worse judgment is imminent. I believe all this and that described in the video are part of God's judgment I wrote about in 1995. The essay explains why it is probably too late for 2 Chronicles 7:14 to work, as it did not work for Jeremiah.
(Sorry, all you happy time prophets, but this is just the way I see it, and I believe it is scriptural. God only has promised blessings in store for His people, some in this world, but mostly after they are removed.)
It was painful for me to write this essay because I have always been a very patriotic person. I spent a 20-year career serving my country in the United States Air Force. I can still tear up when hearing the Star Spangled Banner or other patriotic songs. This largely stems from my childhood experience in World War 2 when my dad was in the infantry, landing at Normandy and fighting through Europe, and my uncle, whose B-24 bomber unit was one of the first to deploy overseas, to North Africa. As a young teen, I followed the war news daily and idolized them and the millions of men and women like them who saved us from German and Japanese fascism.
Today's troops are no less brave, honorable, and dedicated. They are fighting radical Islamists who want to kill us, yet the troops are being constantly undermined by negative, radical, self-seeking political forces in their own country who even want to put our troops on trial if they are not being "nice enough" to our enemies. These same negative forces, egged on by the media, also criticize every action taken by our Commander-in-Chief to protect us and capture terrorists, and confine them, even with a benevolence toward prisoners that is historically unprecedented.
Our political and social climate has become so divided, so hateful, so evil, and so tolerant of evil, that I do not see how modern soldiers can remain motivated to put their lives on the line each day.
I believe these evil, negative, and radical forces will be left behind at the rapture to deal with the anarchy, chaos, and destruction. I don't want to be here.
Come, Lord Jesus.
Jim
