"In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will smite, and bind us up. After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know him: let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth. What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away. Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgment shall go forth as the light. For I will have mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole-burnt-offerings. But they are as a man transgressing a covenant: there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water. And thy strength is that of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered the people of Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel. I have seen horrible things there, even the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled; begin together grapes for thyself, when I turn the captivity of my people."

Hosea 6:1-12

My life is almost one hundred percent consumed into the will of YHWH.

So the things that I go through are signs for our generation and our nation.

This is what it means to be a watchman on the wall or a prophet, someone who is subject to much stricter discipline than other saints, whom God will use to show, like the canary in the coal mine, things that are happening to the people whether they have favor with God or not.

When prophets are being mowed down, Hosea tells us, it is not because God is just angry at the prophets. It is because he is showing his people that their very source of discernment is being removed.

I have an intense grief that bites me like a parasite roughly once every 24 hours. And no matter how much I pray about it the Lord does not remove it.

I am guiltless of anything major and should not be bothered by any sorrow. So I believe the Lord chooses someone such as me for this task because he wants people to see that there is nothing else to make me sad, but his people: the USA in particular, the nation He chose to magnify His grace and the gospel of liberty to all other nations.

We the United States are still and always under successive judgments from YHWH unless there can somehow be a move of repentance among America’s leaders and a nationwide recovery to repent with sackcloth and ashes.

It can’t be done in a corner. It must be total. Remember Lot’s wife.

“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.”

1 Peter 4:17-18
