Thus says Almighty God:
Eze 31:14 ASV to the end that none of the trees by the water exalt themselves in stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, even all that drink water; for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
Oh, America, you who continually boast in your "exceptionalism" as if you were your own creator, as if you, the clay, form the potter, the Ever Living God, as if you, the axe, wield yourself above Him who held you in His hand, as if your might and prosperity was all of your own doing, and He who created you was afar off not knowing nor bringing you forth.
So, for your great sins, for your great apostasy, for your great haughtiness and wickedness, now will come your end, for you have thumbed your nose at your God, at the Great God, who by His hand alone has created all things, and by His hand will you now be destroyed. You beast of the earth, you will now become a beast of burden, the yoke will be heavy upon you, so heavy that you will bow down to the knee, you will stoop under the weight of the idols of your new masters. Rejoicing and reveling will flee away like a mist on a cool, summer morning, and darkness and gloom will cover you as in a storm, for a storm will indeed overtake you, thresh you and deliver you up to destruction.
Yet the mercy of the Lord will remember the tiny remnant among you who reverence His name and tremble at His word, who have not bowed to idols and have turned away from falsehood, and though they suffer for a time, they will be delivered for the sake of the name of the Ever Living God, He who was and who is and who will always be.
But the wicked among you will see their doom, will call on the name of the Lord but He will not hear, will plead for mercy but in the same way they have treated others so will they be treated, in the same relentless manner of their doing will it be done unto them, and by the word of their own mouths will they be condemned.
Thus says the Lord:
When the end is come, I shall first speak to My servants, the prophets, and I will raise them up before Me and they will do mighty things on the earth before your eyes, and you will hate them and deny them and kill them, though your own eyes see them, your own ears hear them, but your evil hearts will hate them and the word of truth that they bring, for they are My witnesses that I am God, and they are My servants who go forth into the world to bring My word to all the ends of the earth, for they are My sons whom I have delivered out of darkness and into light, forever. They bring the testimony of the truth to testify before you and they will complete their testimony without hindrance or fear of evil.
In times long ago I spoke to you in parables, so that you had an opportunity to turn away from your sins and be saved, but you did not, so now I will speak to you plainly, not to save but to testify before you that you have rejected the only begotten Son of the Ever Living God, and have instead chosen what displeases Me, so I will now choose what displeases you. By your own words you will be held to account, by your own judgments you will be condemned and by your own will you will be destroyed. Your will be done!
So be it.
