As the Mule is in Understanding, So is America

As the Mule is in Understanding, so is America! A dramatic statement about a nation gone under and a people that has not yet realized it. This article has a companion post. It is called The Righteous Lord, a Prophetic Psalm warning America. Both the Psalm and the Article have been totally edited and, in some areas, re-written, updating details and writing. The original post was written in 2008. As a mule is in Understanding is grounded in Psalm 32, along with many other scriptures. You can find both the Psalm and the article on both our websites at www.warn-usa.com and www.danaglennsmith.com. Psalms, Prose, and the Watchman writings are all and have been all part of the tools of the Watchman to warn and to tell America to turn from her ways. There is much more to the story, but the purpose is clear, the warnings are relevant, and the choice is up to you. The Watchman Dana G Smith, 2024

As the Mule is in Understanding so is America

As the Mule is in Understanding So is America, think on this a moment. As I mentioned above, this article dates to 2008. At the time the American scene and the world’s attention was focused on the upcoming Mayan Calendar ending in 2012. Many speculated of disaster and major trouble coming.  I wrote at the time that “I believed the Mayans were not allowed to see any further than 2012. I maintained that the Lord God kept the true calendar. I emphasized that no matter what men may think they know or see, the Lord is the Governor of the nations and to him we must look. In addition, a newcomer to the political scene appeared in the name of Barack Hussain Obama and his wife Michele. As he ran for President, I had also investigated Him and Michele. I also covered many of the issues on our radio shows. Then along with other sources we found out the fox was in the Hen house. It was not a good thing. Today, He is still around politically and although on the outside he seems aloof from the Biden administration, secretly they are following His agenda to reshape and destroy the America we knew. But this article is not about those issues. It is about Understanding.

Be not as the Mule in Understanding; Trust in the LORD

(6) For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.  (7)  Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.  (8)  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.  (9)  Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.  (10)  Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.  (11)  Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.  

Psalm 32:6-11

It is straight forward, “Be not as the Mule in Understanding”.  The Psalmist in the thirty-second psalm verse nine reminds us that obedience is a hood of goodness. If man obeys, seeks the Lord, repents, and follows Him; glory and the promise of Eternal life awaits. However, as in the case of the Mule, the Horse, or other animals; it takes more than mere words. Here the writer discusses the use of bit and bridle to harness the unruly animal in question. It takes as Keil and Delitzsch says that man is “obliged to use harsh and forcible means in taming animals and can only thus keep them under his control and near to him.” We see the Psalmists point here as we view the sinner. One that resists the Lord, will not repent, and goes his own way.  Here Keil and Delitzsch further illustrates with this point that God is the sinners only help and hope, thus they explain “it is the sinner, who will not come to God, although God only is his help, and who, as David has learned by experience, must first of all endure inward torture, before he comes to a right state of mind.” As in America today, many a Christian believer can be vexed sore by the ongoing violence, thefts, murders, and profane behavior that has gripped America. Howbeit, words cannot adequately describe the horrendous violence of stubbornness to God and refusal to repent that has taken over this nation. Truly, it can be said that America is a Mule in understanding. Thus, God will put a restraint, a muzzle, and judgment on this nation to awaken the masses; if indeed they can be awakened to the truth of what is coming. 

As the Mule is in Understanding America

At the time I first wrote this article I maintained that America as we knew it would cease to exist. For this to occur, judgment would find America and change it totally. Thus, I still believe that the Lord even today is separating the wheat from the chaff.  For years I have been monitoring the division in America and in the 2017 eclipse I prophesied the divide in America would become wider, even to the point of a war, like in the Civil War so long ago.  Indeed, this war today is political, divisive, racial, and one where the answer to change this nation is for the Democrats an open border and a globalist agenda. However, America today has followed the widening gap of our division that I had been shown during the eclipse of 2017. There is a high probability that this war will at some time in the future become a true Civil war between those in America today. One that the likes of which have never been seen. It is a very dark forbidding time that has taken over this nation. I was pointedly told by the Lord of what was coming with the Biden administration, one of a Coup D’état. It would not be a coup to overthrow the Biden Presidency, but the through the Biden Administration a Coup was planned to overthrow America and those who wanted to keep this nation as our forefathers intended.

 So, it is very true today. While nations of men have many parts and untold people in their countries, America was always special. Within America, a division risks and even today has changed the threat level to our nation bringing it to its highest level of threat at any time. Society is made up of two kinds of people; those who will observe the true ways of the Lord as opposed to those who will not adhere to any of his ways. This battle has been going on for centuries and is the reason why many nations have been overthrown, judged, and found wanting. Scripture is clear, the judgments of the Lord, those avenues of direction he has for us represent true clean ways which are righteous. For many, the fear of the Lord brings them into this relationship. For the fear of the fear lets us know as the Apostle Paul found out, there is a God in heaven, who sent his son Jesus Christ. Paul said, “Knowing the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.” God warns nations and peoples through his judgments and ways, bringing to them Prophets that announce what is coming. Today, we have prophets, ministers, teachers, apostles, and the believers themselves. This makes up the church of the Living God, where there are not many denominations or churches, but one, under God, united by faith in Jesus Christ. Even this American Church is divisive and has found many profane therein.

Let the Words of my mouth and Meditation of my Heart be Acceptable to thee Lord.

(9) The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.  (10)  More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.  (11)  Moreover, by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.  (12)  Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.  (13)  Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.  (14)  Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Psalm 19:9-14 As the Mule is in Understanding 

Moreover, today, we have a society like America, where I and many others spend time warning the society and the church itself of coming judgment. Many in this country are typical of those found in the tenth Psalm, see below after this paragraph. For those in America it is hard to think of themselves in terms of being wicked or righteous. Many would not acknowledge either. As in today, many definitions are used to describe a person.  As well, we have churches that are true and those who are profane;. The battle is heating up in this nation for the hearts of the true believer to stand fast as salt and light in a nation where idolatry and harlotry go hand in hand. We are not a nation under one God, but one nation of many people with many gods. This nation will see increasing judgments upon the nation we call America. America is a nation that was founded not by Muslims, Hindus, or other religion but by people who called upon the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob through Jesus Christ (Yeshu HaMassiach). No matter how much we want to become a unilateral and globalist society in this nation, our roots and history will always be Judeo-Christian roots. No matter what men say, there were people who sought the God of heaven in this nation and truly wanted to do his will. Today, many of those former believers who stood fast for the Lord in this nation would not recognize our nation today. It is truly hedonistic and idolatrous.

Break thou the arm of the wicked and evil man.

(4) The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.  (5)  His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.  (6)  He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.  (7)  His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.  (8)  He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.  (9)  He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.  (10)  He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.  (11)  He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. (15) Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.   

Psalm 10:4-11; 15 As the Mule is in Understanding 

The believer today will see a year in the church in America and the nation itself where the shaking of the Lord will increase in all areas. We will see the literal separating of the chaff from the wheat, that is, those who will seek God from those who will not. Many will see tremendous turmoil this year in their personal lives as they learn that the Lord is serious. Today the carnal church will experience part of this shaking as will the nation itself as God warns men and women everywhere to “be not as the horse or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.” For those, the only way to be delivered is by this shaking. Turning upside the lives they are living so they will seek the Lord with all their heart. Sadly, many are like the mule and the horse. They too, need bits and bridles put there by the Lord himself to lead these people to safety out of the clutches of their own ignorance and folly. Such is the way in America today.

Repentance and Instruction

(5) I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.  (6)  For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.  (7)  Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.  (8)  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.  (9)  Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.  (10)  Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.  (11)  Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart. 

Psalm 32:5-11 As the Mule is in Understanding 

The Lord is asking followers today “Is this the year of your obedience to me?” As the Apostle Paul reminds us in Galatians chapter three, verse twenty-eight “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”  Be sure though the Lord will redeem and restore. As Psalms One Hundred-thirty and verse five says “I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.” The coming of the Lord Jesus, Yeshua draws near. The day draws nearer by the moment that the Lord will come, as “Enoch also, the seventh from Adam prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints”- see context following this paragraph.  There shall be the fury of the Lord of Hosts upon the nations, for the wickedness that men do and will not repent of.” This is the Lord, he is coming, and the question today is, “are you ready?”

The Lord Comes with Ten Thousands of his Saints.

(14) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,  (15)  To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Jude 1:14-15 As the Mule is in Understanding 

America and the nations of men do not think the Lord is coming. Today, they are building their own world, one that does not include the Lord God. Psalm Two tells us of the rebellion in the last days. Those men and women, governments, princes, kings, and others who want to remove all vestiges of what the Lord requires of men who live on earth. These people want a kingdom of their own, walking in their own ways, far from the God of heaven. They think they will have it. Far from it, they will receive a delusion and the prince of delusions. Through this son of Perdition, many will fall and not rise. America especially will fall hard. This land, just as Israel had done, experienced the true hand of the Lord’s blessings, and just like Israel, America has fallen away from the One True God. For this, heartache and misery shall come upon this land. There shall be no peace, saith my God to the wicked.

    Thanks Watchman…as a witness to the train wreck known as planet earth. No, these high minded/prideful individuals refuse to come to repentance. In fact, they refuse to acknowledge God at all. They hate Jesus, because He is not inclusive. Meaning, He will not excuse their sins. There is judgement upon America, but very few can see it. They really are blinded to the things of God. Their individual lives will be turned upside down, and it will be brutal. Our Lord’s peace to you and Tower…Amen.
