Is Communism Dead? - Part VI
If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and
warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and
taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall
be upon his own head. Ezekiel 33:3-4
4. The ministers preach a false peace and prosperity
b) A False Peace
Notice the false peace in our nation today. The prophet Jeremiah spoke
about a false peace in his day. In Jeremiah 14:13-16 it says "13 Then said
I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the
sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in
this place. 14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in
my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake
unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a
thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. 15 Therefore thus saith
the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them
not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword
and famine shall those prophets be consumed. 16 And the people to whom
they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the
famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their
wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their
wickedness upon them."
The apostle Paul said in I Thessalonians 5:3 "For when they shall say,
Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail
upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." The world is more
explosive than ever. But our nation is demilitarizing: we are shutting
down bases, laying off multitudes in our military, and our enemies are
building up.
5. Why are so many Christians blind?
In Genesis 19 Lot was totally unaware that God was about to destroy Sodom
and Gomorrha. Today, many in America are the same way. They are so caught
up in the things going on in this nation that they are unaware that God
will soon destroy this country. In II Peter 2:6-9 it says "6 And turning
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an
overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live
ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of
the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and
hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful
deeds 9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:" We do
not want to be like Lot, unprepared for what is about to happen to this
nation. We want to be like Noah.
6. The only protection is in the Lord Jesus Christ
Noah was a just man who walked with God and obeyed God by building an ark
to the saving of his house from the destruction of the earth. In II Peter
2:4-5 it says "4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast
them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be
reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the
eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the
world of the ungodly;" Also, in Hebrews 11:7 it says " By faith Noah,
being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared
an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world,
and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."
In future posts I will share more about this topic.
