The statute of the Lord forbidding the slaughter of children, offering them to the pagan god of the Canaanites, Molech, was first revealed to the Hebrews in Leviticus 18:21 –

Leviticus 18:21 (NASB95)

²¹ You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the Lord.

A nation cannot be blessed or spared from judgment that profanes and blasphemes the name of the Lord by killing the unborn made in the image of God.  America wants prosperity and safe borders, yet it refuses to protect the border of the womb, allowing itself to commit and condone evil resulting in the slaughter of 63 million innocent children since the passage of Roe vs. Wade in 1973 through 2021, an appalling statistic demonstrating how we as a nation have broken faith with the Lord.[1]  This is hypocrisy of the highest order. We stand, having perpetrated and condoned evil in His sight.  This is more than enough of a reason for the Lord to bring judgment upon our nation.

The Lord commanded the prophet Jeremiah to prophesy to Judah these words –

Jeremiah 7:27–34 (NASB95; emphasis mine)

²⁷ “You shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, but they will not answer you. ²⁸ You shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept correction; truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth. ²⁹ Cut off your hair and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; For the Lord has rejected and forsaken The generation of His wrath.’ ³⁰ “For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight,” declares the Lord, “they have set their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. ³¹ They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, and it did not come into My mind. ³² “Therefore, behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when it will no longer be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of the Slaughter; for they will bury in Topheth because there is no other place. ³³ “The dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the sky and for the beasts of the earth; and no one will frighten them away. ³⁴ “Then I will make to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will become a ruin.”

I have prophesied since 2014 what the Lord has revealed to me concerning His intentions for America.  In one vision, the Lord appeared facing me, holding a clear wine glass inspecting the level of the liquid it held, representing the level of wickedness in the world.  In another vision, His hand of protection was lifting from this country, and as a direct result, we have been given over to wicked rulers and evil men.  One cannot help to see the parallels between America and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah.  Because the two kingdoms slaughtered their children by offering by fire to the god, Molech, the Lord pronounced that the valley of the son of Hinnon would be renamed the valley of Slaughter (Jer 7:32).  We are the wicked generation of our day and the Spirit proclaims, “Woe unto those that stand against Me in the day of My wrath!”  I have seen the Lord trampling people, destroying them underneath His feet as He walked across our nation.  The outlook is more than grim for America because we have shed innocent blood, and thereby we have polluted land He gave to us (Ps 106:38; Eze 36:18), and still bent on continuing!

We are guilty of not hearing the voice of the Lord, and more, we do not care to listen to Him.  If that isn’t enough, we are a country filled with the apostasy of the Church that also pays no attention to the voice of the Holy Spirit.  Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would guide the Church into truth, for He is the Spirit of truth (Jn 16:13).  Called to be the salt of the earth, to proclaim righteousness through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Church and its leaders stand condemned for not preaching the truth of the Bible and have cast off the need to demonstrate the power of the Living God through His Spirit.  The apostates, struggling to be culturally relevant, are no longer relevant to the Lord, but rather flow in their own river of confused teaching, apostasies and wickedness, and are themselves doomed for great judgment if they do not repent.  These are those who Jude spoke about, being clouds without rain, doubly dead —

Jude 11–16 (NASB95; emphasis mine)

¹¹ Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. ¹² These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted; ¹³ wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever. ¹⁴ It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, ¹⁵ to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” ¹⁶ These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.

The Choices of the Republican Party

Having stood, fought and secured the victory handed down by the Supreme Court in Dobbs vs. Jackson in 2021, overturning Roe vs. Wade, they have reversed their course to compromise.  Calling a play from Pontius Pilate’s playbook, they have chosen to wash their hands of innocent blood and kick the ball back to the states, when the Federal government should remain in the fight against the vile and obscene sin of abortion.  Deceived out of their victory, the GOP has  capitulated to wickedness and abandoned one of the long-standing foundational pillars to their platform.  Now many Christians are crying, “Foul!” witnessing former President Trump actively turning his back on what is clearly, morally and Biblically right.  I say that the judgment that the

Lord has revealed is coming, can no longer be held back.  America, with one heart represented by both parties, has sealed its own fate for the Lord to bring the destruction He has promised He would bring.

When a people stand and commit slaughter, they receive slaughter – we will reap what we have sown (Jer 7:32-33; Gal 6:7).  Christians, along with many of their leaders, including Franklin Graham, the de factor leader of the American Church, said they were offended by the blasphemy portrayed during the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.  Franklin claimed Galatians 6:7, warning the committee in Paris responsible for homosexual laden drama, “…God will not be mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap,” conveniently leaving out, “Do not be deceived…”  Regrettably, the hypocrisy of his statement returned with boomerang force.

Franklin Graham, certainly recognized and leveraged by the Republican Party during their recent convention, forgot that boomerangs are designed to return to the hypocrite that throw them.  He did not preach against the platform of the RNC regarding their compromised position on abortion or homosexuality.  Instead, he capitulated, appearing to bless those who stand in their sin.  He perpetrates the lie that in order to save the country, Christians must view the political process as moves in a game of chess, and must be willing to embrace the compromise, which is clear for all to read in the GOP platform and is now articulated by former President Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.  In the document there is no mention of protecting the unborn or standing against the homosexual marriage.  The Lord spoke to me saying, “I do not play games like the Church.”  Rest assured; the Lord is not playing a game with America or His Church!  What the Lord has allowed the Republican Party to build, He can tear down.

The lie of “game of chess” is refuted by the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life.  The Lord will not negotiate a peace with America or its Church; He demands an unconditional surrender.  He will not accept any terms.  Compromise leads to God’s judgment; the Republicans have set their course that cannot be blessed by the Lord.  If Franklin Graham and his followers do not realize that, then they stand guilty of blatant hypocrisy  and must repent for supporting the wickedness of abortion and homosexual sin, in all of its manifestations and perversions.  The Republican Party should be severely rebuked for refusing to take a firm stand against the abomination of killing the unborn and homosexuality.  The Church must rebuke the GOP for their blasphemy the same way it rebuked the committee for the opening ceremonies at the Paris Olympics.  Without doing so, the Church stands guilty of hypocrisy.  Franklin whiffed the tee-ball set up to preach the Gospel to Paris Olympics committee, and again at the RNC – two worldwide platforms.

Having walked through the fires of judgment over the past four years, it appears that former President Trump learned nothing, choosing to capitulate to evil rather than fight for the Biblical standard of righteousness and holiness embodied in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.  He stands exposed for his surrender to corruption, even as America does.  The Lord revealed to me that the assassination attempt on July 13^th, 2024 was symbolic to the fact that America is unprotected from the bullet of judgment that He will fire.  The Lord could have destroyed America over the past four years, but He wanted us to experience the multiple forms of judgment that were released against this nation since 2020.  Yet, like former President Trump, we thank God that He allowed us to come through it, hoping for better days, not realizing that what we have experienced was a dire warning from the King of kings and Lord of Lords.

America, you have refused to listen, therefore, the Lord’s judgments will increase (Lev 26:14-20).  We dare not deceive ourselves; the Lord will hit the bullseye He has placed upon this country – He will not miss.  Many have already died; many more will undoubtedly die unless we turn from our apostasy, blasphemy and hypocrisy.  America is not safe from the Lord’s judgments.

What Should Christians Do Now?

Christians are in the unenviable position as to what to do given the positions of the two political parties set forth in their respective platforms.  We can learn a great deal from prophets that dealt with wayward leaders.  The prophet Samuel rebuked King Saul as he had made the decision not to follow the Lord (I Sam 15:10).  The prophet was grieved over Saul’s rebellion, manifested in the form of disobedience, which lead to Saul being stripped of the kingdom (I Sam 15:11-35).  Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death, but he grieved for him (vs 35).  The Lord had to shake Samuel out of his ongoing lamentation and grief over Saul, telling him to go and anoint one of the sons of Jesse, David the youngest (I Sam 16:1).  Saul continued his downward life of sin until he was destroyed, committing suicide (I Sam 31:1-5, cf. 2 Sam 1:1-16).  Will this be the path for Donald J. Trump?

Then there are the accounts of King Jehosophat of Judah.  Jehu the seer rebuked King Jehosophat for allying himself with Ahab, the wicked king of Israel.  Jehosophat had heard the prophetic word that the Lord had conspired against Ahab to kill him, yet he still foolishly entered into an alliance with Ahab (2 Chr 18:3-27) to fight against King Aram.  Upon returning from the inevitable and disastrous defeat where Ahab was killed in battle, Jehu spoke to Jehosophat saying, “Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord and so bring wrath on yourself from the Lord?  But there is some good in you, for you have removed the Asheroth from the land and you have set your heart to seek God” (2 Chr 19:2-3).  Is there still good in former President Trump?  I hope there is.

After nearly losing his life, Jehosophat allied himself with Ahab’s evil son, Ahaziah of Israel, to build ships.  Again, a prophet was sent by the name of Eliezer the son of Dohavahu who prophesied, “’Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the Lord has destroyed your works. ‘So, the ships were broken and could not go to Tarshish’” (2 Chr 20:35-37).  This is a simple example of judgment levied against a leader of men.

We can also learn from the account of the prophet Elisha meeting with King Jehoshaphat of Judah and King Jehoram, Ahaziah’s bother, of Israel.  As we can easily observe, King Jehosophat made it a practice to make alliances with those who stood against the Lord and committed wickedness.  Having barely escaped from death in the battle he joined in with King Ahab, Jehoram’s father, in a war against Aram (I Kgs 22:29-36, cf. 2 Chr 18:1-19:4), he now proceeded to align himself with Jehoram and the king of Edom to fight against Moab (2 Kgs 3:1-9).  In route, the three kings found themselves and their armies without water.  To his credit, Jehoshaphat recommended that they send for Elisha the prophet, of whom he said, “The word of the Lord is with him” (2 Kgs 3:12).

Coming into the presence of the three kings, Elisha said, “As the Lord of host lives, before who I stand, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look at you nor see you” (vs. 14).  Elisha prophesied that the Lord would release water for their armies and that He would give the three kings victory over the Moabites.  Elisha’s prophecies were fulfilled, but a “great wrath” of demonic power forced the three kings to return to their own lands (2 Kgs 3:27 – arguably one of the more difficult verses in the Bible), demonstrating that even though we may be called to do the Lord’s will, our alliances with the wicked and the compromise of our own hearts will not allow us to fulfill our destiny in Him.  The greatest victories are reserved for the righteous!  It is righteousness that causes the Lord to exalt a nation, but sin will bring judgment (Lev 26; Dt 28; Jos 24:19-20; Pr 14:34).  Will the Lord stand with Donald Trump in the battles that lie ahead?  Who can tell?  What is more critical to understand is that America will not get away with murder – the killing of the innocent unborn or embracing the sin of homosexuality.

Anyone that is allied with wickedness, including the abortion and support of homosexual policies of either the Republicans or the Democrats, risks receiving the full wrath of the Lord.  Will the Lord use former President Trump for His purposes even in his foul state of compromise?  At best, former President Trump can be likened to Jehosophat in that the spirit of compromise appears to be deep within his heart.  The Lord is not looking for perfection; He is looking for a man that seeks after Him through His word and can hear His voice.

Similar to the prophets Samuel, Elisha, Jehu, and Eliezer, we must hear from the Lord as to what we are to do and not do.  I heard from the Lord in 2013, who said to me, “You must surrender America to Me to do what must be done.”  I reluctantly surrendered America, the country I love, to the Lord who loves America more than any of those who call themselves patriots.  In my fear of the Lord, I will not ally myself with the wickedness bound up in either political party without a turnaround.  I have surrendered America to the Lord yet again.  I see that judgment from the Lord will surely come as there is nothing to stop it given the state of the hearts of Americans.  Are there some who are righteous?  No doubt, for the Lord always has a remnant, but they along with the wicked will surely suffer at the hand of the Lord, as we all have done since 2020.  He will watch over His word to perform it (Jer 1:12).  The Lord has said, “I will have righteousness in America!”  I will not stand in His way, but I will align with Him.  Those who follow Christ must hear His voice in order to navigate the narrow path ahead by remaining in the protection of His Glory in these days that are both “perilous and dangerous”, not my words, the Lords.

In our survey, we should review the life of yet another king, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.  He was warned by the Lord in a vision to humble himself under His mighty hand (Dan 4:1-18).  Daniel, the Jewish exile serving in the king’s court, interpreted the vision but was appalled by the interpretation the Holy Spirit gave to him.  The interpretation Daniel received was indeed grave—

Daniel 4:24–27 (NASB95)

²⁴ this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king: ²⁵ that you be driven away from mankind and your dwelling place be with the beasts of the field, and you be given grass to eat like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven; and seven periods of time will pass over you, until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes. ²⁶ ‘And in that it was commanded to leave the stump with the roots of the tree, your kingdom will be assured to you after you recognize that it is Heaven that rules. ²⁷ ‘Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you: break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.’

We find that twelve months later, King Nebuchadnezzar stated, “Is this not Babylon the great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power for the glory of my majesty?” (Dan 4:30)  He testifies that while the words were in his mouth, the pronouncement of judgment fell, just as it had been revealed to him in the dream the Lord released to him, and the interpretation that Daniel faithfully confirmed and submitted (Dan 4:31).  Haven’t we heard the same proud words from the lips of former President Trump?  Indeed, we have.  Donald J. Trump is symbolic of America, which believes the grandeur of the country came through its own capabilities, its own might and power.  Are not both the man and our country ripe for being humbled through judgment from the Lord?  I would submit they are.

It is time for the Church to lament that Donald Trump and America have abandoned their moorings of the Bible, opening themselves and the country to allow evil and judgment to rush in.  Having chosen and embraced the wrong direction, there is no possibility of reaching America’s destiny without first arriving at the destination of judgment.  Christians who understand the times and hear the voice of the Spirit are in the lamentable position of standing for righteousness, fighting for the kingdom of God, while the Lord fights for His cause by destroying their homeland, purging it of wickedness, evil and compromise, while they too may suffer and die.  The consequences of judgment are far reaching, designed to burn with the horrific heat of the branding iron, forged by the wrath of God, turned against those who turn from the Living God, who pursue wickedness and evil, who love compromise rather than standing for the truth, no longer hearing the voice of His Spirit.  The Lord is determined to burn out our blasphemies, apostasies, and our hypocrisy.

I have no word for you concerning who to vote for.  Like the prophets, each of us must seek the Lord for ourselves, while remaining resolute to preach the uncompromising truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, calling the nation and both political parties to repent of sin and turn to the Living God.  We must also continue to pray for our leaders (I Ti 2:1-4).

There are no answers other than to realize that we will answer to the Lord for our decisions regarding how we vote.  As it currently stands at this date, the choice appears to be for the new high-water mark of evil personified in Vice President, Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party, or the new high-water mark of compromise personified in former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party.  Both have caused the level of evil to rise yet again, which the Lord Himself is watching closely.  Only Jesus can reveal His choice to you.

No matter who is elected, the Lord will shake the United States of America like a housekeeper shakes a rug to remove the dirt.  Everything that can be shaken, will be shaken in this country (Heb 12:26-27).  The Lord will move with His army from border to border and from sea to shining sea, and then back again, bringing wave upon wave of judgment.  Major cities will appear as if a war had broken out.  The Lord will take the chaos, violence and destruction to those who live and work in the skyscrapers in metropolitan centers who believe they are above it all.  Far reaching judgment will come to San Francisco that will affect us all, while Los Angeles stands upon the precipice of complete destruction.  This is what the Lord has revealed to me and I faithfully submit it to you.  Hear the word of the Lord!

Having freely refused to listen to the Lord’s voice, spurning His words for decades, America should not be shocked when it loses its right to free speech.  Americans, including many in the Church, speak of the right to free speech, to bear arms, to worship freely, but these so-called rights are reserved for a people that follow the Lord, who fight for righteous causes.  He can and will tear up our beloved Constitution that was founded upon Biblical principles and teaching if we will not turn. The Lord has said, “You look to the founding fathers, who looked to Me!”  Who is to say it is not His right to take away that which He has so graciously given to us, including our rights?!  He banished Adam and Eve from the Garden; He drove Israel and Judah into captivity, destroying His own temple in the process.  What delusion do we walk in that causes us to think that He would not strip our constitutional rights from us?  It is the delusion of self-righteousness that has allowed the darkness of spiritual wickedness and deception to rush into our country.  Only judgment will purge this darkness that we have embraced and cling to.

Judgment is the work of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Jesus, which flows eternally from the throne of the Father (Rev 22:1-2, cf. Eze 47:1-12).  The Lord has two hands; one to bless, the other to curse and bring judgment (Lev 26 & De 28).  By entering into the covenant with the Living God, we agreed to His conditions to bring blessing and cursing.  His heart is to bless!  He desires to dwell among us, to grant us peace, to give us victory over our enemies, to fight with us, to make us fruitful, to bless the work of our hands, to bless our families and our children, to save us and to set us free from sin and bondage (Lev 26:1-13; Jn 3:1-21, 4:10-14, 6:33, 44-58, 8:12, 10:11-18, 12:44-50, 14:1-3).  Sadly, America has chosen not to repent, but rather to be judged and therefore cursed.

America’s freedom comes with a price; one must stand in and for righteousness as defined and taught by the Bible, embodied in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.  Christians, you must seek the Lord and ask Him what you must do and then do it with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.  There is no other alternative.  If you continue to be satisfied with the lukewarm and powerless church you attend, you risk the Lord spewing you out of His mouth (Rev 3:15-17).

To all in America I say, “Woe unto you if you do not hear His voice and turn from your wickedness and compromise.  It is time to submit and align to the Holy Spirit.”
