August 28 – 29 2024
“They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this thy not knowing me? saith the Lord. Behold, thine eyes are not good, nor thine heart, but they go after thy covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.” Jeremiah 22:16-17, LCL Brenton
Allow me to preface this message with a simple cautionary statement: I have received words of judgment since 2009 for the USA. This is not an option for me. There is no person who will redirect or filter this in any new direction. Such a person would be anathema.
Part 1: Anguish of Heart
In the afternoon of August 28, 2024, I became broken in heart and my mind also strained with sorrows. At first I had to wrestle in prayer to discover what this could be about. I even had a guest in my home as I experienced this and, eventually, I ended up in bed moaning and groaning with pain, asking him to pray for this situation.
Part 2: Dream
In the night and into the morning of August 29, I received this dream:
Initially it was like a video game full of shootings and nothing but shootings. I had a gaming type of character that I could see, and I became confused as to whether I was white or black in the dream: there were scenes where we were all black and then there were also scenes with all white people. But the same thing happened regardless: Chaos and violence were everywhere. We were in a neighborhood or suburb, sometimes around small trailer homes, and everyone had a firearm. The only thing to do was shoot back at people who were coming toward me to shoot at me. We had large AK47 style rifles and pistols, the whole gamut it seemed. Next, I did not see guns for the second half of the dream but it was rather a scene of damages. I saw people next to damaged and seemingly exploded metal housing materials. One man in particular had experienced a bizarre effect where an air conditioner or similar outdoor metal box had burst, melted red-hot, and somehow became lodged down his stomach: so he was spewing it back up, and said, “I’m dead.” He said this because no one could survive this; he was trying to come to terms with his fate. Others also suffered similar exposure to glowing orange metal debris. I never saw how all this destruction came about, but just that the neighborhood had become a scene of horrors. It was as if a volcano or refinery had leaked all throughout the city and done this to so many people and their homes. At last, I even saw from the sky that the city or neighborhood was like a dark landscape striped everywhere with these glowing orange metal debris everywhere, and it was a common problem of people needing to throw up molten metal. End of dream.
Part 3: Next Day
The next day it still has not left me. I have felt torn and ripped apart as if I were going through a bereavement and loss of dearly beloved companions. And this following word will not please many people but it is the truth.
Interpretation
The land is filled with violence and YHWH brings judgment on this people.
“Hear ye this word, O house of Israel, which the Lord has spoken concerning you, and against the whole family whom I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying, You especially have I known out of all the families of the earth: therefore will I take vengeance upon you for all your sins. Shall two walk together at all, if they do not know one another? Will a lion roar out of his thicket if he has no prey? will a [lion’s] whelp utter his voice at all out of his lair, if he have taken nothing? Will a bird fall on the earth without a fowler? will a snare be taken up from the earth without having taken anything? Shall the trumpet sound in the city, and the people not be alarmed? shall there be evil in a city which the Lord has not wrought? For the Lord God will do nothing, without revealing instruction to his servants the prophets. A lion shall roar, and who will not be alarmed? the Lord God has spoken, and who will not prophesy?”
Amos 3:1-8
“My heart is broken within me; all my bones are shaken: I am become as a broken-down man, and as a man overcome with wine, because of the Lord, and because of the excellence of his glory. 10 For because of these things the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course is become evil, and so [also] their strength. 11 For priest and prophet are defiled; and I have seen their iniquities in my house. 12 Therefore let their way be to them slippery and dark: and they shall be tripped up and fall in it: for I will bring evils upon them, in the year of their visitation. 13 And in the prophets of Samaria I have seen lawless deeds; they prophesied by Baal, and led my people Israel astray. 14 Also in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen horrible things: as they committed adultery, and walked in lies, and strengthened the hands of many, that they should not return each from his evil way: they are all become to me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrha. 15 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will feed them with pain, and give them bitter water to drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem has defilement gone forth [into] all the land. 16 Thus saith the Lord Almighty, Hearken not to the words of the prophets: for they frame a vain vision for themselves; they speak from their own heart, and not from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They say to them that reject the word of the Lord, There shall be peace to you; and to all that walk after their own lusts, and to everyone that walks in the error of his heart, they have said, No evil shall come upon thee. 18 For who has stood in the counsel of the Lord, and seen his word? who has hearkened, and heard? 19 Behold, [there is] an earthquake from the Lord, and anger proceeds to a convulsion, it shall come violently upon the ungodly. 20 And the Lord’s wrath shall return no more, until he have accomplished it, and until he have established it, according to the purpose of his heart: at the end of the days they shall understand it. 21 I sent not the prophets, yet they ran: neither spoke I to them, yet they prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and if they had hearkened to my words, then would they have turned my people from their evil practices. 23 I am a God nigh at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off. 24 Shall any one hide himself in secret places, and I not see him? Do I not fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord. 25 I have heard what the prophets say, what they prophesy in my name, saying falsely, I have seen a night vision. 26 How long shall [these things] be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, when they prophesy the purposes of their own heart? 27 who devise that [men] may forget my law by their dreams, which they have told every one to his neighbour, as their fathers forgot my name in [the worship of] Baal. 28 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream; and [he] in whom is my word [spoken] to him, let him tell my word truly: what is the chaff to the corn? so are my words, saith the Lord. 29 Behold, are not my words as fire? saith the Lord; and as an axe cutting the rock? 30 Behold, I am therefore against the prophets, saith the Lord God, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. 31 Behold, I am against the prophets that put forth prophecies of mere words, and slumber their sleep. 32 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets that prophesy false dreams, and have not told them [truly], and have caused my people to err by their lies, and by their errors; yet I sent them not, and commanded them not; therefore, they shall not profit this people at all. 33 And if this people, or the priest, or the prophet, should ask, What is the burden of the Lord? then thou shalt say to them, Ye are the burden, and I will dash you down, saith the Lord. 34 [As for] the prophet, and the priests, and the people, who shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even take vengeance on that man, and on his house. 35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What has the Lord answered? and, what has the Lord said? 36 And do ye name no more the burden of the Lord; for his own word shall be a man’s burden. 37 But wherefore, [say ye], has the Lord our God spoken? 38 Therefore thus saith the Lord our God; Because ye have spoken this word, The burden of the Lord, and I sent to you, saying, ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord; 39 therefore, behold, I [will] seize, and dash down you and the city which I gave to you and your fathers. 40 And I will bring upon you an everlasting reproach, and everlasting disgrace, which shall not be forgotten.”
Jeremiah 23:9-40
“Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord [has] a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. 2 Cursing, and lying, and murder, and theft, and adultery bound in the land, and they mingle blood with blood. 3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and shall be diminished with all that dwell in it, with the wild beasts of the field, and the reptiles of the earth, and with the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea shall fail: 4 that neither any one may plead, nor any one reprove [another]; but my people are as a priest spoken against. 5 Therefore they shall fall by day, and the prophet with thee shall fall: I have compared thy mother unto night. 6 My people are like as if they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt not minister as priest to me: and [as] thou has forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children. 7 According to their multitude, so they sinned against me: I will turn their glory into shame. 8 They will devour the sins of my people, and will set their hearts on their iniquities. 9 And the priest shall be as the people: and I will avenge on them their ways, and I will recompense to them their counsels.”
Hosea 4:1-9
Part 4: Response
What is our response to this society and this word of judgment? It should be to warn everyone to be reverent and to fear God: to repent. Also, according to the Bible do not feast with or give a blessing to the violent who reject the teaching of Christ, as you will embolden them to continue their violence and adulteries, and you will be held accountable for their sin.
“Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and thou shalt say to them,
On whatsoever land I shall bring a sword, and the people of the land take one man of them, and set him for their watchman:
and he shall see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and sound an alarm to the people;
and he that hears the sound of the trumpet shall hear indeed, and yet not take heed, and the sword shall come upon him, and overtake him, his blood shall be upon his own head.
Because he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took no heed, his blood shall be upon him: but the other, because he took heed, has delivered his soul.
But if the watchman see the sword coming, and do not sound the trumpet, and the people do not watch; and the sword come, and take a soul from among them, that soul is taken because of its iniquity; but the blood thereof will I require at the watchman’s hand.
And thou, son of man, I have set thee as a watchman to the house of Israel, and thou shalt hear a word from my mouth.
When I say to the sinner, Thou shalt surely die; if thou speak not to warn the wicked from his way, the wicked himself shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
But if thou forewarn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he turn not from his way, he shall die in his ungodliness; but thou hast delivered thine own soul.”
Ezekiel 33:2-9
Ask the Lord who his watchmen are.
Ask the Lord what you can do to wash your hands of guilt and bring repentance.
Preach the gospel of full repentance.
Stay away from Christians who say that a wicked nation will be blessed.
