Under Judgement

Yesterday, we took a minimalistic look at the book of Lamentations and how I wish I could work in stents longer than 15 minutes and actually reconquer typing!  sigh ...

Certainly there is nothing worse than ending upon the wrong side of God's wrath.  In the Bible many managed the feat of wearing out God's patience, to their doom and in the  case of Jeremiah, he found himself leaving under God's condemnation because the rulers, priests and people had become corrupt!  Yes everyone suffered under God's wrath, though Jeremiah's faithfulness saved his hide in the end!

Today it is easy see where God's patience has ended and wrath has descended upon the people, the nation, etc ....

I am German by birth, so I will pick on Germany first ...  What you say?  A prosperous, progressive country!  That is the kind of wrath to live under!  But, look and see the dead Christian Church and the paganism of the culture and youth.  No, God is not there nor blessing them.

And as a corporate entity, most nations fall under God's judgement and under his wrath to the extent of His patience at that point in time.  As believers, we struggle in churches more pagan than Christian because God is allowing us to discover Hsa lack of blessings and correct our behavior.  But we lack wisdom and finding those with discernment is mighty rare!  So, we like Jeremiah, get to struggle against the world's invasion of our faith ... well downsatream from where this began.
