Excerpt Introduction:
As I behold the many aspects of this great land, I am filled with the wonder of beauty and majesty. From Monument Valley to Utah’s many wonders, and onto Yellowstone, the Tetons, and so much more. Some of the most beautiful places on the planet are found here in my home state. Yet I wrote the article ‘America Held in Contempt’. For it is part of a nation in rebellion against God and even against itself. America is divided and as such will not stand. Its sins are many in this place called America.
[i]At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
(Jer 18:7-10)
What this nation needs are a total Revival of heart, mind, soul, and spirit within the sweeping power of the Holy Ghost. No matter the issues, a people need the saving power and loving grace of our God and Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. I add that the nations of men on this planet are also rich in Sin and debauchery, along with blood guilt. But God’s love and his redemptive Spirit gives man more grace and the ability to find freedom and faith. God can free anyone if they repent and come to Him. He can heal a nation and bless it. Jeremiah explains how the Lord deals with nations.
“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”
James 4:8 |Psalm 51:10 KJV | Psalm 80:18 KJV
“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
“Then we shall not turn back from you; give us life, and we will call upon your name!”
Prophetic End Times!
The coming Beast of Revelation has an accompanying Beast. One of these we commonly refer to as the Anti-Christ, who declares himself God as he sits in the Temple of God. The other we look at as representing the False Prophet. Much has been written and said about these endtime false prophets who appear. We see this end of days as an evil time where the beast comes to power. Here we find a world which is taken in by his works and power. Much of the church believes it will be a time of massive conflict and war. I don’t disagree with that. However, I write this today because the Beasts who come and take power over every portion of the world’s governments and their money does so without much conflict. For the nations by that time will have put the nations in the exact place where the devil wants them. All of this is done by human principalities and powers who esteem it proper to control nations and societies.
Moreover, because of this massive takeover and shift, everything from the food supply to what you can obtain through buying and selling will already be in place for the beast to assume control. By the time these human mis-lead leaders’ figure what has occurred, the Beast, Mr. Antichrist himself will have fully gained control of the world and its governments. I am not going to discuss the commonly held belief of the pre, mid, or post rapture teachings here. You can do that with your own bible and among friends.
Held in Contempt “America”
In Addition, I write this because America and the world already are preparing for the takeover globally of policies and powers to initiate what the devil wants finished before the endtime events occur as detailed in portions of scripture from the prophets of the Old Testament to the teachings within the New Testament. All of what I have written above is an introduction to America Held in Contempt. The contempt for the Lord God and His Son Jesus Christ has already festered its way into every state, diminishing the Faith of Jesus Christ and those who hold it. Gone is the Faith, Testimony, and those in the church supposedly guarding this great faith and testament of our Lord Jesus Christ. This has gone on while most of the church held their meetings yet kept silent on what was going on at a national level.
The church sits today on the threshold of dramatic and stomach-churning events, even the death of many. Because of this, America who was a beacon of freedom, life, and faith of Jesus Christ is guilty. America is Held in Contempt, and the judgment is and has been here. It will continue. I do not infer that there will be no believers, in fact I believe many will come to the faith at this time. But the cost will be heavy on society and the believers. The heavier toll will be on those within the scope, power, and control of the Beast through His Mark. Now is the time to draw nigh to the Lord Jesus Christ. Now is the time to carefully work to get family and friends into the faith of Jesus deeper. Now is the time to once again believe in the Miraculous delivering power of our Lord.
Familiarity Breeds Contempt:
Contempt is bred out of Familiarity. America had Christian colonists of every Christian denomination or group. We were a new nation that gave its gratitude to the Lord God. We used the Word of God the bible. It was involved in the politics and growth of this nation.
“Familiarity breeds contempt” is a phrase that means the more you know someone or something, the more likely you are to find fault with them or it. It’s often used to describe situations where people who are close to each other, such as family members or coworkers, start to dislike each other because they know each other too well. Familiarity Breeds Contempt an American phrase and truism
Revival Americana
Real revival history is what made America focused on God. For me God was not a curse word and church was welcomed.
Growing up in the fifties and sixties, going to Sunday school and church was what we did. Everything was closed, it was time for family on that day and God. By the mid-sixties, faith was relegated to a place on Sunday’s but not with the avenue of everything closed. America had more bible schools, Christian schools, Christian Pastors, and Teachers, and sent out a vast number of missionaries.
[ii]Great Awakening refers to several periods of religious revival in American Christian history. Historians and theologians identify three, or sometimes four, waves of increased religious enthusiasm between the early 18th century and the late 20th century.
see Endnote
There was the Great Awakening from 1734 to 1760, which occurred during the ministry of Solomon Stoddard, Jonathan Edwards grandfather. Jonathan Edwards is famous for his “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” Also involved was George Whitefield and many were awakened by many who took part. Then came the Second Great awakening, and then in 1857 to 1858 a revival began on the heels of an economic panic. Later, during my dad’s time, as a young man during the Azuza street revivals Amy Simple McPherson was an evangelist and became the founder of the Foursquare Church. It was at one of her services that my dad became Saved meaning “Born Again”. Other names involved in Revivals include Charles Finney, Billy Sunday, Andrew Murray, and many others.
[iii]To look back upon the progress of the divine kingdom upon earth is to review revival periods which have come like refreshing showers upon dry and thirsty ground, making the desert to blossom as the rose, and bringing new eras of spiritual life and activity just when the Church had fallen under the influence of the apathy of the times.
E. M Bounds
Later, we had other evangelists and services in America’s storied past. I personally remember the multitude of meetings Billy Graham had in America and around the world. Today, Franklin Graham tours the United States doing revivals. This is just a small summary of the Gospel and revivals in America. Believe me there were ongoing revivals, as the era of the Pentecostalism arrived, here the meaning “Full Gospel” came in to being. Then the Hippie revivals known as the Jesus movement. But all along Billy Graham and then later His son Franklin Graham continued revivals and meetings like His father Billy Graham did. I was raised to Billy Grahams televised Crusades.
The Second Great Awakening became the longest lasting national [iv]revival in modern times (1795–1845).
See Endnote
There is ample evidence to reveal the huge influence of Christianity, Faith, Churches, and the gospel had on our beginning and growth. Yet as America grew, so did her many blessings. She became Rich and Famous. With all this, gradually the church adapted to society. The revivals became fewer, and most were within the bounds of the churches themselves. With all this we can look back to see the road away from faith.
[v]The blessed Religion revealed in the word of God will remain an eternal and awful monument to prove that the best Institution may be abused by human depravity; and that they may even, in some instances be made subservient to the vilest purposes. Should, hereafter, those incited by the lust of power and prompted by the Supineness [apathy, lethargy, idleness, indolence] or venality [corruptness, shamelessness, debasement,] of their Constituents, overleap the known barriers of this Constitution and violate the unalienable rights of humanity: it will only serve to shew, that no compact among men (however provident in its construction and sacred in its ratification) can be pronounced everlasting an inviolable, and if I may so express myself, that no Wall of words, that no mound of parchm[en]t can be so formed as to stand against the sweeping torrent of boundless ambition on the one side, aided by the sapping current of corrupted morals on the other.
–George Washington, fragments of the Draft First Inaugural Address, 1789
Therefore, since this nation and its people have had an active witness of the gospel in the past, we find today a lukewarmness in the churches and among Gods people. Those outside the church and faith of the Lord Jesus Christ can be openly hostile to Christianity. As well, other faiths are taking over America.
This nation is adrift in a sea of sin and lawlessness. Many young people have been open to new ideologies. These bring youth away from traditional faith and into an arena of socialist ideology and little faith in God. And traditional biblical sins are ignored. All this works to dilute the faith and the word of God today. The hostility of people groups, other faiths, and even our own government find a lukewarm and many times hostile atmosphere to Christianity. Especially if you witness or preach to these unsaved masses in America. Globally we find persecution of Christians rising to its highest in years or even decades. Yet the founding of this nation was within the scope and use of the Christian Faith for hundreds of years.
What is more today Satan has become more popular. This is helped along by unbelieving youth who find excitement in finding the growth and influence of the Satanic Temple and those groups like it. It is also pushed along by the political agendas of people who want to fundamentally change America by destroying its foundations. Satan has become more popular.
[vi]There is need of a great revival of spiritual life, of truly fervent devotion to our Lord Jesus, of entire consecration to His service. It is only in a church in which this spirit of revival has at least begun, that there is any hope of radical change in the relation of the majority of our Christian people to mission work.
Andrew Murray on Revival
A Prophet is without Honor:
This phrase is often used to describe a situation where people don’t appreciate the value of something or someone until it’s gone. It comes from the Bible, specifically Mark 6:4 and Luke 4:24. In Mark 6:4, Jesus says “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” This year we are in our twenty-fifth year of end time ministry. It is of no surprise, then that America is falling away from the faith of the Gospel and the Lord Jesus Christ.
“[vii]Our country is spiraling in a heap of confusion and lies. As a nation we have turned our back on God and His Word, and we are seeing the results. Violence, crime, and suicide are rampant.”
Rev. Graham wrote to his 10 million Facebook followers
Our society today in 2023 is a conglomeration of woke idealism, sexual agendas, mislead youth, and those who are firmly in the grasp of unclean spirits. Doctrines of devils and the doctrines thereof of backslid churches and lukewarm Christians do not stop in their attempt to dilute the word of God and the doctrines of Christ. Further the truth today is diluted to the point of creating a social agenda and not a fervent disciple of Christ Jesus.
Destructive Society:
“Destructive society” is a phrase that can be interpreted in many ways. It could refer to a society that is self-destructive, where people engage in behaviors that are harmful to themselves or others. It could also refer to a society that is destructive to the environment or to other societies. So far in America the family has been replaced by whatever society in America wants it to be. Our courtrooms are failing to find the truth and it is seen today by the mistreated J-6er’s. There is right now on our border a group of somewhere between three quarters of a million to one million illegals readying to cross the border and take up space in this country. America is not safe, the laws are not viable, the Presidency is inept, the congress waddles its fat agendas into law while nothing is done to stop the destruction of America.
Furthermore, there has been no better tool to destroy America than the politics and agendas of leftists and socialists that are using an army of woke youth to rob, steal, pillage, and attack anyone who disagrees with them. Truth won’t work, politics is a failure, enforcing the laws with fine police work won’t do the job. Criminals are released immediately, hardened criminals are forgiven their crimes and let go on the streets of America.
The global agendas of the United Nations, World Economic Forum, along with the European Union, and the United Kingdom push their one world government and America along with it to get everyone on the same goal. Meanwhile, China and Russia, the Ukraine, and North Korea are busily building their kingdoms for a nuclear holocaust. As our leaders also focus on the new green deal, getting rid of oil, and going bankrupt to begin the cashless society is top priority.
The unified goal is to destroy what this nation was, which finds its illustration by the phrase “One Nation Under God.” This is considered anathema to these new globalist satanists, among others. But as I pointed out in the beginning that all this has pushed the flood of godless unclean spirits out of the pit of hell to form the world into that arena for the Beasts of Revelation 13 to appear. By the time this is finished, the Evil one will simply waltz into the global scene and lead a world who is already blinded into the fold of the wicked one. Therefore, America is held in Contempt for those things she has led the world in. The condemnation of these people and a lawless way of life. For her pride she will be judged, for her sins she has spread globally she is condemned, and for the destruction of the innocent there will be no pardon. Repent today. Revelation Warns us.
Rev 18:4-8
(4) And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
(5) For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
(6) Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
(7) How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
(8) Therefore, shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.[viii]
Revelation 18: 4-8
Finally, let me close with these quotes, among them one from Corrie Ten Boom. Her words echo loudly through the ages to the believers in Christ today and to those outside the womb of the Lord Jesus Christ. While we have many issues and troubles in our world today, God is still on the throne and personally the miraculous still exists. So, Trust and believe that the Lord will deliver, set free, and make a way for you.
“The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something and enter God’s realm where everything is possible. He specializes in the impossible. Nothing is too great for His almighty power. Nothing is too small for His love.” ~ Corrie Ten Boom[ix]
“Any true revival can be proven by the fact that it changed the moral climate of an area or nation.”
– Leonard Ravenhill[x]
