“And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, the LORD will not do good, neither will He do evil.” (Zephaniah 1:12)
Just as there were in the days of the reign of Josiah, king of Judah and the prophets, Zephaniah and Jeremiah, we have people today who think God either will not or cannot bring judgment on unrepentant rejecters of God and His word.
But as surely and certainly as the prophets had warned, the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar, “God’s servant,” came in and took Judah captive. They stayed in captivity for seventy years. The people then realized that God meant what He said and did what He said He would do. They had been warned and now they were reaping what they had sown.
If those people who went into captivity could come to America and stand on the capitol steps and on the mall in Washington, what would they say to us concerning America’s sins and her refusal to heed the warning signs of judgment? Let us turn to God.
