Let’s look at that question in light of America in revelation.
By the way, I posted this not knowing that it would be post number 66.
Hopefully you understand that there is no coincidence with God. If you notice a coincidence, God has put it there for a reason and many of us will ignore it to our peril.
Saul is the first recorded democracy in the Bible.
Samuel is told to anoint Saul as the king and is told that God is only doing it because the people are rebellious and they have rejected God as ruler over them.
Even though Samuel anoints Saul as king the people hold a lot (vote) and Saul is chosen by lot, so obviously they don’t trust God works in Samuel.
It is always the way when nations become apostate and turn to idolatry. They refuse to believe that the rare godly people still among them are of God.
God, knowing all things knew it would end in disaster and he predicted it to Samuel and yet he allowed it anyway because what choice did he have?
You might say oh well God could have stopped it and yes he could.
He could have stopped the the fall of Adam and Eve and the inquisition and the American Civil War and 911 and Watergate and the bay of pigs and the assassination of Kennedy and Vietnam and the lie about weapons of mass destruction that led to the invasion of Iraq.
He could have stopped all of those things, but God is in the business of giving us free will and honouring our choices and what we want is free will to govern ourselves outside of the commandments of God because the governance of God is a narrow road that is hard and we don’t want to deny ourselves and crucify ourselves daily do we?
We don’t want to have to turn the cheek to our enemies who strike us. We don’t want to have to go the extra mile for somebody who demands we go one mile with them. We don’t want to be obedient to all authority and acknowledge that all authority is ordained by God. We don’t want to stop looking at women and lusting at them even though that is adultery and adulterers will not enter heaven because all of these things are the narrow road and we don’t want the narrow road do we?
We want to be able to have sex freely (without getting married) and say it is okay because “we love each other” even though God calls it fornication and tells us that fornicators will not enter heaven.
We want to get drunk whenever we want and maybe go a little bit further than drink and we want to party when we want.
We don’t want to live as Jesus, and give up all that we have, even though Jesus said “he who does not give up all that he has cannot be my disciple.”
We want to say that we are Jesus disciples even while we live in abundance and heap up treasures on earth and walk in idolatry and disobedience and covetousness and sexual immorality, loving the world and loving our lives even knowing that Jesus said that he who loves his life will lose it and he who loves the world does not have the love of the father in them.
If Jesus came back to earth today in the same way that he came before, he would be utterly rejected and hated in America.
Indeed, most of you who call yourself Christians are already in rebellion reading this, indignant that I have told the truth that you should have told, if indeed you have got this far, which most of you won’t have done, because you have already rebelled and rejected these things in the hardness of your hearts.
We ignore all the scriptures that we don’t want to follow and say oh we believe therefore we are saved.
We don’t want to read the scripture that says without works our faith is dead or acknowledge that the dead faith will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.
We don’t want to acknowledge the scripture which says without holiness no man shall see the Lord.
No, we don’t want to do any of these things, we want to walk on the wide easy road that leads to destruction and say that we believe that Jesus died for our sins, and so we are saved and we don’t have to walk in obedience.
We want to idolise our movie stars and our football players and our weightlifters and our athletes and our children and our glorious buildings and our glorious technology that we parade in front of the world as though it is something to be worshipped and the world does worship it because we have taught them to do so because we worship all these things whilst calling ourselves Christians.
We are wretched, miserable, poor blind and naked and think that we see and we proclaim our righteousness to all around us and to the whole world whilst we crucify Christ again for ourselves and put him to an open shame.
Do you know who was one of the major architects in teaching us all these things and leading us into captivity and who we greatly esteem as one of the greatest Americans who ever lived?
I’ll give you a clue, a Billy is a male goat and grey is the colour that swine‘s flesh turns when it is dead.
There is no coincidence with God.
Democracy always ends up in blindness and idolatry because democracy functions on people voting for what is highly esteemed in the eyes of men, the most popular candidate who is going to give us what we want.
Luke 16:15 KJV
. . . for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Democracy is voting for what God considers abominations and the greatest abomination always wins.
In a democracy, it is the man who is most highly esteemed who is elected, and yet that blindingly obvious fact does not seem to raise any alarm bells amongst many of us.
If you think people are going to vote for the narrow road, narrow gate and the hard road and crucifying themselves and walking in holiness and denying themselves and obeying the Commandments you are in a dreamworld and most of you are in a dreamworld and many of you have even managed to persuade yourselves that America is a Christian nation.
It is hardly any wonder that God said the last church would be wretched, miserable poor blind and naked and yet utterly blind to her own blindness.
Let’s look at a few of the coincidences that God has revealed in scripture to show who America really is.
In the language of her under class.
Ame = Love
Rica = Riches
America alphanumerically equals 50 just like Laodicea and just like Laodicea, America loves riches just as the revelation of her name uncovers.
“Oh everything that you have written above is only coincidence” I hear you say, and the idolatry is not really true. We’ve said the sinner’s prayer, stop talking to us like this. Stop telling us the truth, prophecy easy things and deceitful things. I hear many hearts protesting in proud rebellion as they boast of their “relationship with Jesus” not knowing that their relationship is with a familiar spirit.
Having itching ears we have heaped to ourselves teachers who teach us what we want to hear.
You say you believe in the prophecies and you say you believe that we are in the last days but in the last days all the prophecies reveal that the love of men will have grown cold and that we will not endure sound doctrine and we will be turned into fables and all these things are right in front of our faces.
Jesus said concerning his return;
Luke 18:8 KJV
. . . Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Obviously, he did not ask that question thinking that the answer would be “yes an abundance”. The answer implied is “no almost none at all” and if you can’t see the obviousness of that right in front of your face, you are wretched, miserable, poor blind and naked.
And so we continue to manage to harden our hearts to the blindingly obvious truth.
Whenever people say they are of God and then turn to democracy the result is always the same and those who say it is only coincidentally revealed are blind, for God is the author of all coincidence and God who is full of mercy, willing that no man perish has left us an abundance of evidence in scripture to persuade us of who we are.
You should understand that those who have not endured suffering in their lives have no spiritual wisdom. Those who have lived easy lives in the deceitfulness of riches are blind.
Hebrews 12.6-8.
If you have lived an easy life, there is only one way you can be saved and that is to acknowledge that you are blind and wretched and miserable and utterly unworthy, like the man in Luke 18.13.
If however you deny Christ, and make yourself a teacher of what is right and good, Christ (the Word) will deny you, for the Word reveals all these things I have told you and if you teach on this forum and think that you are wise to teach when you have lived an easy life, you are lost in pride, leading others into captivity and on the wide road to destruction.
N is the 14th letter in the alphabet (two sevens) and 77 is the alphanumerical value of Christ and when you put Christianity into democracy the result is always the same.
DemoNcracy.
God has laid an abundance of evidence in numbers just like he has laid evidence in the stars and the universe and the sun and the moon and even our languages because he is not willing that any of us perish and so he has laid signs everywhere.
Many people think it is only coincidence that John 6.66 reveals the ways of antichrist believers who refuse to walk in the ways of Christ but with God there is no coincidence.
The heart of the gospel is in
John - the disciple whom Jesus loved
14. - two sevens
21. - three sevens
John 14.21
Woman = 66 God says the woman is deceived.
Alcohol = 66 God says alcohol is deceptive.
Sugar = 66 God says rich food is deceptive.
All these things are highly esteemed by men and they are all deceptive to our spiritual growth and yet we indulge in all of them abundantly whilst we claim to be wise Christians.
Revelation 3:18 KJV
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
The warning in Rev. 3.18 is to those of 666 (18) who are of the three foul spirits
How many of your teachers have been through the fire and are able to reveal gold? Paul spent a good deal of scripture telling us the fire that he went through and Hebrews reveals that without that fire you are blind and yet the teachers that you have heaped to yourself are from easy abundant lives and those who have endured chastening, you reject
Hebrews 12:8 KJV
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Americans are not tiring of democracy. They are tiring of not having their fill of riches.
They are tiring of all the judgements that God is sending against them.
New Orleans, America's greatest natural catastrophe, Enron, the greatest corporate collapse in America's history, Sandy, Irma, María, poisonous green tides, Flint Michigan’s deadly toxic water, the Las Vegas massacre, the New Orleans massacre, collapsing bridges, apocalyptic Midwest flooding, the only quadruple sequence of hurricanes in America’s history, to hit Florida, Deepwater Horizon, failure to defeat a small band of poorly armed untrained third world cave dwellers, growing discord with her allies, Texas freezing, Paradise lost in fire, LA fires, Coronavirus, and Champlain Towers, where the sham of American Christianity was made plain to the whole world by the fall of a house built on the sand and great was the fall of it.
The signs are everywhere that the day is at hand and that we have become blind and foolish through our prosperity.
Proverbs 1:32 KJV
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
In fulfilment of the prophecy, most of you who read these things will harden your hearts and turn away.
