"Our country has become an abomination"


I am so, so tired of hearing these news stories.  I’m sure you are too.  It’s gone too far when in a small mountain town (Bailey, CO), Wisconsin and now an Amish school.

Our country is an abomination.  I am deeply sickened and saddened by the condition of our disgusting morality.  We will reap the whirlwind and likely the bomb.  Amish people, agree with how they live or not, set media and all the modern conveniences aside so they can live in peace with God.  Now this???  It’s more than I can take, and I hope you feel the same. 

Five is God’s number for grace.  September 11, 2006 was the 5th anniversary.  Yesterday was Yom Kippur which is the Jewish holiday/feast set up in Leviticus 23:27 “Also the tenth day of the seventh month (Hebrew month of Tishri which falls during our Sept/Oct – today for this year, 2006) shall be the Day of Atonement.  It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls.”

Here is a passage from the Bible that comes to my mind with something like this:

Habakkuk 1

 1 The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet received.

Habakkuk's Complaint

 2 How long, O LORD, must I call for help,
       but you do not listen?
       Or cry out to you, "Violence!"
       but you do not save?

 3 Why do you make me look at injustice?
       Why do you tolerate wrong?
       Destruction and violence are before me;
       there is strife, and conflict abounds.

 4 Therefore the law is paralyzed,
       and justice never prevails.
       The wicked hem in the righteous,
       so that justice is perverted.

The Lord 's Answer

 5 "Look at the nations and watch—
       and be utterly amazed.
       For I am going to do something in your days
       that you would not believe,
       even if you were told.

I for one can’t feel sorry for our country at all for whatever the Lord decides to do.  Like Nineveh (who Jonah prophesized to) we need to repent for our own country.  We are a total abomination.  Surely like Israel in the time of Jeremiah we are at an end.  It’s funny at that time it was Babylon who God used to bring them to an end.  He already did this to wake us on 9-11 (also Katrina).  We surely soon will see what we have reaped as a country.

NICKEL MINES, Pa. —  A fourth child died Tuesday of wounds from the shootings at an Amish schoolhous e in Lancaster County.

The 7-year-old girl died about 4:30 a.m. at Penn State Children's Hospital in Hershey, hospital spokeswoman Amy Buehler Stranges said.

"Her parents were with her," Buehler Stranges said. "She was taken off life support and she passed away shortly after."

The girl was wounded Monday in the attack, the nation's third school shooting in less than a week, in a bucolic area of Lancaster County.

Charles Carl Roberts IV, apparently spurred by a grudge two decades old, wrote his wife what authorities described as suicide notes, took guns and ammunition and went to a nearby one-room schoolhouse, where he killed three girls, critically injured seven more, and took his own life, authorities said.

A 6-year-old girl remained in critical condition and a 13-year-old girl was in serious condition at Penn State Childrens, Buehler Stranges said. She said the names of the children were not being released.

Three girls, ages 8, 10 and 12, were flown to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where they were out of surgery but remained in critical condition, spokeswoman Peggy Flynn said.

One other victim was taken by helicopter to Christiana Hospital in Delaware, where officials declined to release information.
