Subjugating

The theme for our 2015 Independence Day Parade was, “Fourth of July Parade/patriotic.” It was astonishing then that the Democratic Party, on this of all days, mocked the American flag by combining it with the rainbow colors of the gay agenda. The American flag represents all Americans and to devalue it by subjugating it to anyone, or any organization, is an affront. Unfortunately, federal regulations that apply to the treatment of the American flag can’t always stop people from disrespecting the flag. In the same sense believers too can be guilty of disrespecting God. “And God spoke all these words: “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me” (Ex 20:1-3 NIV).

Gail;

-----God raises nations. We have thought He does this for our pleasure. We were certainly pleased to enjoy the bounty of this nation. And He does relish people’s pleasures. But He does not raise nations primarily to please people. He raises them to serve His purposes.
-----Thinking God must be seen by your own human eyes to exist is a mighty, mighty big mistake. The Twentieth century was more than a century of war. It was the century of God’s returning His chosen people to their promised land to never again be removed. Although America shared somewhat in the world’s misbehavior towards God’s Jews, America multiplied the degree it misbehaved into the degree it supported the new nation of Israel. And America’s support has continued nearly to this day, having obviously been God’s purpose. Yet, though God's effects have all been thus seen, the world can not see God in His own effects because of the hostiliuty towards Him they cultivate in their hearts.
-----God always called His nation to turn to Him for support, not to other nations. His purposes draws man ever closer through time. Hosea 5:14-6:2 indicates that God will return to His chosen people when they call upon Him. To do that, they must not be calling upon America. So that will come to an end as did His purpose for America‘s support. I think we are seeing this end beginning in psuedo-President Obama pressing Israel towards relinquishing land for a Palestinian State. And not just any land to relinquish, but the land God promised Israel.
-----As the time of the Antichrist looms, the entire world acts more the part. As America transforms her former obedience to God into arrogant, scoffing, denial of God, we can know it also is coming to an ugly head like a premium zit.
-----March 20, 2015 saw a total solar eclipse. This was the first day of Israel’s religious year. September 23, 2015 will see a partial solar eclipse. This will be the last day of Israel’s civil year. Two weeks later, a very rare supermoon will be totally eclipsed on the beginning of Tabernacles, Israel’s celebration of God’s dwelling with them. As much as this is marking a new relationship dawning for Israel, it marks the end of a relationship looming for America. I believe the flag drenched in colors stolen from God to stand for what God abhors speaks as plainly as unnoticed as do these signs in the heavens.
-----When I finish a job, I dump my trash. God is finished establishing Israel for His next purpose. He also dumps His trash when finished. Lot’s of people see the rainbow as a very precious symbol given by God yet hijacked by arrogantly, wicked people. I see the rainbow colors upon the American flag as the smears and blotches and splotches of Jell-O and Sherbert, Vanilla pudding and beat juice and curdling cottage cheese and the other general foulness shared so equally in a stinky trash can headed for the fire of God’s wrath.
-----I thank God that salvation does not fly to us through political orientation. I can wave Christ’s banner of truth with my own hands, thank you very much, America. I stayed home and watched a good movie on the night of the Fourth of July. America’s freedom no longer relates to God’s purposes. His purposes alone will survive what is coming.

Love you all,
