God Addresses The State Of The Union In The United States Of America.

Dearest brothers and sisters-in-Christ,

It is with a heavy heart that I bring a serious Rhema Word from Abba God to you, particularly to the nation of America. In this message from God, He declares that America has sealed its destruction under His hand of judgment, because they continually refuse to repent from their sins as a nation, and turn to Him in faith and obedience, the One who is our Creator and Saviour.

Only true and contrite repentance by the entire United States of America can avert His divine judgment now (read the city of Nineveh's account in Jonah 3), but God Almighty knows that this will not happen due to the wicked and hardened hearts of many Americans.

Although God has decreed the end for America as a sinful nation (please take time to read the coordinating Scriptures which reveal a similar pattern of God's judgment upon the house of Israel), we can still pray for the the salvation of individual people in the nation. Let me say that God's judgment will befall every nation on earth in the end times, not just America. In this message, however, Abba is addressing the nation of America in particular.

There are a number of saints who may disagree with this Rhema Word, because they still believe that America can be revived as a blessed nation under God again. I can only ask you to seek our Father about this in prayer, and discern His message here according to the Scriptures I have included in concert with His Word. In the Old Testament, God waited patiently for His people to return to Him, as He sent them many warnings of His impending judgment through His various prophets. There was a definite line for God's people to cross, such that He was no longer willing to withhold His divine judgment upon them as a nation, for His righteous anger burned against them.

In a similar manner has America sealed its fate, because our God will not wait forever for the wicked to repent. Though He is longsuffering and merciful, God will not withhold His righteous judgment indefinitely. Pray for your family, friends, neighbours and colleagues, for the LORD is allowing His sword of judgment (ie. war and terrorism) to strike various parts of your nation. It is beginning to happen already.

For those believers who don't fully comprehend the severity of America's sins in this generation, I ask you to kindly read the internet news articles and commentaries, which I shall include at the end of this post, by following the web links provided. These articles will give some insight into the spiritual condition of many people in America today, along with the depravity that seems to grow in the country each day. When you have done so, then perhaps you will gain a greater understanding of God's righteous anger that burns against the nation of America.

Our Father is not about to turn back His decree now, my dear friends, because America has departed too far and too long from the righteous commands of God Most High. Indeed, His holiness and righteousness require wickedness and evil to be punished, not only in America, but in every nation of the world. The hammer of God's righteous judgment is about to fall mightily upon America, and I can only cry out to Abba,

"Mercy, Father! Have mercy, O God! Let Your mercy triumph over Your judgment!" (James 2:13)
I weep for America; I weep for the whole world...

(First Written On Jan 15, 2016)

"My children in America, this is El Shaddai, God Almighty, who speaks to you now, concerning the true state of the Union in your once-great nation. I have not come to make a political statement, like your President did last week, nor to make a religious statement, as the Vatican's Pope did last year, in America.

"I have come to speak the Truth regarding the State of your Union, as God Most High. Let those who have ears to hear, heed My Word to you.

 I, the Great I AM, declare to you this day that the state of your Union is fractured and broken beyond human repair at this point in your history, for this is the result of your nation's idolatry, pride and spiritual slumber!

"Woe to you, America, for you have allowed your leaders to force their wicked agendas down your throats over the decades, as My Name and Presence in your nation is continually pushed out of My children's lives, whether from your schools, town halls, public buildings, the military or the civil service. Indeed, there are many among you who want to have nothing to do with Me, the God of Creation and of Salvation! No longer does America declare 'In God We Trust', for the leaders in your Federal Government have chosen to serve the lord of darkness, the prince of this wicked world.

"How long have I held my arms out to a rebellious nation, urging you to return wholeheartedly to Me, in true repentance and contrition of heart, but you were not willing! No, you prefer to play the whore, and frolic with the spirits of hedonism, immorality and perversity, and to prostitute yourself to foreign gods who are not God at all! To your waywardness, you have heaped sin upon sin, until the odious stench of your abominations fill your entire nation, even reaching up to the heavens!

"Do you now worry about your nation's economy, your country's security and the growing racial divide between your fellowmen? Are you fixated on your nation's coming Presidential Nominations and the Election that is due later this year, My children?

"I, Jehovah God, declare to you that none of these political processes in your country will matter in the end, because your once-great nation has fallen beyond human repair, and I have proclaimed My divine judgment upon you. Neither My righteous anger, nor My hand of judgment upon you will be turned away, for I know that America is determined to pursue the way of wickedness to the destruction of their nation!

"My children, it is too little too late now, to turn away My righteous anger and avert the coming sword that will strike at the very heart of your states, for My patience has a limit. My righteous saints have already extended My patience by interceding faithfully on behalf of your nation in recent times, or you will surely have come under greater attack from your enemies by now. Yet, I will not withhold My wrath and righteous judgment indefinitely, for America has not relented from pursuing the deeds of darkness, nor have you realised the folly of your wicked ways.

"The hedge of protection I had once placed around 'the land of the free and the home of the brave' has long been removed, since you did not consider it imperative to return urgently and humbly as a nation to the Great I AM, for I AM the one true God and Saviour, and there is no other God beside Me! You have mocked the very ones who have prayed faithfully for My Hand of judgment over your nation to be stayed, and you have persecuted those who have stood for My Word and My righteousness through Jesus Christ, My Son.

"How foolish and perverse you are, O America, and yet you persist in your shameful acts of rebellion and evil! Do you truly believe that there is no God who hears the prayers of His saints, or that I can be mocked daily by your open and blatant acts of perversion? To those who insist that the state and the Christian faith must be separated and not allowed to connect, what will you do when My judgments begin in a massive and terrible scale in your state and nation? Will you discover in the coming time of immense suffering that your states cannot thrive without God, and that the nation of America cannot be strong without the LORD?

"My people in Israel had to learn this truth the hard way, both the house of Ephraim and the house of Judah, for they drove Me out of their lives; though I drew a line for them, they crossed it time and time again with impunity and recklessness. Since they persistently taunted Me and defied My Word, I drove them out of their rest, and out of their respective kingdoms into exile, far away from the land of Israel. My children in America, the same fate awaits you now, for your national existence hangs by a thread, and it is I who will determine when to sever that thread and send your people into exile, for I have determined to punish your nation most severely for the mockery they have made of Me and My faithful saints!

"No longer will people say, 'America The Great', but they will mourn the glory days of your nation, and they will be shocked beyond words at the stunning destruction and demise of your people. Truly, you have lost the liberty that you so greatly cherish when you chose to believe the lies and deception of the satanic government in your country, which has ruled over you from the shadows. True liberty and freedom is found only in the lives of those who walk by My Spirit, and who are whole-hearted disciples of My beloved Son, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. My Son is soon returning as the Lion of Judah, and all the nations of the world will hear Him roar from Zion, and tremble at His feet.

"To My faithful ones, who watch the signs and understand the times in which you live, know that I will not abandon you, My loves, even when persecution comes to your door. Remain steadfast in the Lord, your Saviour, even to the point of death, for a martyr's crown is appointed to a number of you, so take heart and do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul!

" I have been calling home a number of My elderly and sick children to My heavenly Kingdom, so as to spare them from the perils and calamities that will soon befall the earth as the Day of the Lord comes. This is My mercy towards them, My saints, for even grown men and mighty warriors will tremble and weep at the sight of what is to come upon the world, and they will grow faint from terror! As you grieve and mourn for your loved ones who have gone on ahead of you, take comfort in understanding My Will, and be encouraged in knowing My ways, dear children.

"Do not look to men and women in politics to fix the state of your Union, O America, for your wounds are incurable and only I, Jehovah Rapha, can heal your land, should you choose to repent and turn from your wicked ways and call upon My Name in reverence and fear. Yet, I know that you are determined to pursue the wide road that leads to destruction, and so I will hand you over to your enemies in the days to come. My mercy and grace will soon be greatly diminished upon the earth, once My Holy Spirit is withdrawn from the world at the time of the Rapture of My Son's Bride, and the prince of darkness is cast down to you.

"REPENT, foolish children! You who spurn My precious gift of salvation in the Gospel of My Son, do you not fear death and everlasting condemnation in the lake of fire? Do you not know that salvation is found only in My Son, Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords? Why do you wish to believe the devil's deception and perish from the lies of the enemy? Are you not afraid to be eternally separated from the love of Almighty God?

"My children, I say to you this day, that it is neither My desire to see you perish, nor My Will for you to reject Me. Yet, all the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve must choose for themselves where their eternal destination is, either in My Heavenly Kingdom through faith in the salvation of My Son, or in the fires of Hell, through the lies of the devil. Each and every person must exercise the free will I have given them, and bear the eternal consequences of their choice, for this is My decree," says the LORD.

- El Shaddai, God Almighty

Coordinating Scriptures
Micah 2:1-2, 8-9, 3-4 (NKJV)
1 Woe to those who devise iniquity,
And work out evil on their beds!
At morning light they practice it,
Because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They covet fields and take them by violence,
Also houses, and seize them.
So they oppress a man and his house,
A man and his inheritance.
8 “Lately My people have risen up as an enemy—
You pull off the robe with the garment
From those who trust you, as they pass by,
Like men returned from war.
9 The women of My people you cast out
From their pleasant houses;
From their children
You have taken away My glory forever.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
“Behold, against this family I am devising disaster,
From which you cannot remove your necks;
Nor shall you walk haughtily,
For this is an evil time.
4 In that day one shall take up a proverb against you,
And lament with a bitter lamentation, saying:
‘We are utterly destroyed!
He has changed the heritage of my people;
How He has removed it from me!
To a turncoat He has divided our fields.’”

Isaiah 65:1-7 (NKJV)
1 “I was sought by those who did not ask for Me;
I was found by those who did not seek Me.
I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’
To a nation that was not called by My name.
2 I have stretched out My hands all day long to a rebellious people,
Who walk in a way that is not good,
According to their own thoughts;
3 A people who provoke Me to anger continually to My face;
Who sacrifice in gardens,
And burn incense on altars of brick;
4 Who sit among the graves,
And spend the night in the tombs;
Who eat swine’s flesh,
And the broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 Who say, ‘Keep to yourself,
Do not come near me,
For I am holier than you!’
These are smoke in My nostrils,
A fire that burns all the day.
6 “Behold, it is written before Me:
I will not keep silence, but will repay—
Even repay into their bosom—
7 Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together,”
Says the Lord,
“Who have burned incense on the mountains
And blasphemed Me on the hills;
Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.”

Ezekiel 7:3-11 (NKJV)
3 Now the end has come upon you,
And I will send My anger against you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
4 My eye will not spare you,
Nor will I have pity;
But I will repay your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst;
Then you shall know that I am the Lord!’
5 “Thus says the Lord God:
‘A disaster, a singular disaster;
Behold, it has come!
6 An end has come,
The end has come;
It has dawned for you;
Behold, it has come!
7 Doom has come to you, you who dwell in the land;
The time has come,
A day of trouble is near,
And not of rejoicing in the mountains.
8 Now upon you I will soon pour out My fury,
And spend My anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
9 ‘My eye will not spare,
Nor will I have pity;
I will repay you according to your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord who strikes.
10 ‘Behold, the day!
Behold, it has come!
Doom has gone out;
The rod has blossomed,
Pride has budded.
11 Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness;
None of them shall remain,
None of their multitude,
None of them;
Nor shall there be wailing for them.

Isaiah 9:8-21 (NKJV)
8 The Lord sent a word against Jacob,
And it has fallen on Israel.
9 All the people will know—
Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria—
Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild with hewn stones;
The sycamores are cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.”
11 Therefore the Lord shall set up
The adversaries of Rezin against him,
And spur his enemies on,
12 The Syrians before and the Philistines behind;
And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
13 For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them,
Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts.
14 Therefore the Lord will cut off head and tail from Israel,
Palm branch and bulrush in one day.
15 The elder and honorable, he is the head;
The prophet who teaches lies, heis the tail.
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err,
And those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord will have no joy in their young men,
Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer,
And every mouth speaks folly.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burns as the fire;
It shall devour the briers and thorns,
And kindle in the thickets of the forest;
They shall mount up like rising smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
The land is burned up,
And the people shall be as fuel for the fire;
No man shall spare his brother.
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand
And be hungry;
He shall devour on the left hand
And not be satisfied;
Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.
21 Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh;
Together they shall be against Judah.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

Isaiah 3:1-15 (NKJV)
1 For behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts,
Takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah
The stock and the store,
The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water;
2 The mighty man and the man of war,
The judge and the prophet,
And the diviner and the elder;
3 The captain of fifty and the honorable man,
The counselor and the skillful artisan,
And the expert enchanter.
4 “I will give children to be their princes,
And babes shall rule over them.
5 The people will be oppressed,
Every one by another and every one by his neighbor;
The child will be insolent toward the elder,
And the base toward the honorable.”
6 When a man takes hold of his brother
In the house of his father, saying,
“You have clothing;
You be our ruler,
And let these ruins be under your power,”
7 In that day he will protest, saying,
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”
8 For Jerusalem stumbled,
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.
9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them,
And they declare their sin as Sodom;
They do not hide it.
Woe to their soul!
For they have brought evil upon themselves.
10 “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them,
For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
For the reward of his hands shall be given him.
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors,
And women rule over them.
O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err,
And destroy the way of your paths.”
13 The Lord stands up to plead,
And stands to judge the people.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment
With the elders of His people
And His princes:
“For you have eaten up the vineyard;
The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
15 What do you mean by crushing My people
And grinding the faces of the poor?”
Says the Lord God of hosts.

Ezekiel 9:1-10 (NKJV)
1 Then He called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, “Let those who have charge over the city draw near, each with a deadly weapon in his hand.” 2 And suddenly six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer’s inkhorn at his side. They went in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side; 4 and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
5 To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity.6 Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple. 7 Then He said to them, “Defile the temple, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” And they went out and killed in the city.
8 So it was, that while they were killing them, I was left alone; and I fell on my face and cried out, and said, “Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel in pouring out Your fury on Jerusalem?”
9 Then He said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of bloodshed, and the city full of perversity; for they say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see!’ 10 And as for Me also, My eye will neither spare, nor will I have pity, but I will recompense their deeds on their own head.”

Ezekiel 39:23 (NKJV)
23 The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

Revelation 18:1-10 (NKJV)
1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
9 “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’

Luke 21:25-28 (NKJV)
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

John 14:27 (NKJV)
27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

John 16:33 (NKJV)
33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Isaiah 57:1-2 (NKJV)
1 The righteous perishes,
And no man takes it to heart;
Merciful men are taken away,
While no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from evil.
2 He shall enter into peace;
They shall rest in their beds,
Each one walking in his uprightness.

Revelation 12:7-12 (NKJV)
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

Ezekiel 18:23, 32 (NKJV)
23 Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord God, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!”
