We Serve a God Who Destroys Nations

 I’m pretty disappointed watching election results this morning.  No Red Wave that some of us were hoping for.  I don’t know if it’s true where you live but here in Minnesota every Democrat commercial had one main theme;  Keep Abortion legal!  So the election wasn’t about crushing inflation, destroyed fuel prices and out of control debt, nope!  It all hinged on killing babies for convenience.  Remember when God destroyed Israel for sacrificing their children in the fire to demon-gods?  “Yes, but Dennis that was the Old Testament God who did that!  In the New Testament that cranky God had taken a nap and Jesus is the loving, tolerant, patient God of the New Testament!”

Wrong theology!  God is never changing.  He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.  He never sleeps and he never slumbers.  Here’s what he said in Jeremiah 46 about destroying all the nations the Jews were scattered to.  If he destroyed godless nations in the past surely he will be destroying America in the future.  We hope it survives until the rapture.

“Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant; do not be dismayed, Israel.

I will surely save you out of a distant place,
    your descendants from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again have peace and security,
    and no one will make him afraid.
28 Do not be afraid, Jacob my servant,
    for I am with you,” declares the Lord.
“Though I completely destroy all the nations
    among which I scatter you,
    I will not completely destroy you.
I will discipline you but only in due measure;
    I will not let you go entirely unpunished.”
