When I think of Americans, which by the way I am as well, I think of the mercy that the Lord God of Israel has shown unto us as a nation, the freedoms that we enjoy, the provisions and protections, etc. Yet, over and over, I see the Americans defy the Living God with provocations, which you cannot even find in the Bible by advocating what He clearly condemns on so many fronts and they then act as if He is just going to continuously pass by in our iniquities (Psalm 5:5; 9:16; Amos 7:8). There comes a point where the Lord has to draw the line in the sand and one has to ask as if this is it.
