1 Chronicles 21:1-7 (KJV)
1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.

On May 31,
2013 President Obama declared June as national gay, lesbian, transgender,
transvestite month. He used the occasion to launch a worldwide program of
urging other nations to follow suit and likewise provide “honorable” status for
these previously ostracized communities.
On the same
day, May 31, 2013, the largest F5 tornado ever to hit American soil screeched
across America’s heartland, killing dozens and doing billions in damage.
Is there a
connection?
Consider:
At the time of this writing America is suffering from a devastating, late
tornado season, serious storm flooding, burst dams along the Missouri and
Mississippi, uncontrolled wildfires raging in the west, an early hurricane
season jump-started by TS Andrea which threatens to bring major flooding to the
Gulf Coast. Bridges and buildings and other infrastructure collapse…
Meanwhile self-appointed jihadists
and various and sundry crackpots (programmed?) attack the innocent and
vulnerable with guns, bombs, machetes…
Governmental underhandedness is
exposed, yet the guilty seem immune to prosecution, even receiving undeserved
promotions and financial bonuses!
Does God still hold the leadership
of a nation responsible for honest, just and godly deportment of office? Will
He cause punishing events to befall a nation that acts corruptly? If so, why
does God seem to punish the weak and innocent instead of the responsible
leadership, making the general population pay for the sins of the leaders?
When David sinned by conducting a
census, Israelites died by the thousands. Taking a census was prohibited by the
Lord, yet Satan provoked David to disobey the Lord’s commandment.
Sodomy and other sexually deviant
activity is clearly forbidden by the Lord’s Word, the Bible. Yet the leadership
in the highest office of our nation, in the name of misbegotten tolerance and
under the false guise of “love” have urged national policy out of that which
should be banned.
And the people of this nation suffer
the consequences. If not directly involved, the rising insurance rates that
must be paid to ameliorate the expense of these calamities will fall upon
everyone.
So why does God punish the innocent
for the crimes of the guilty?
The truth is, He doesn’t!
When Balaam was called upon to curse
Israel, he knew he couldn’t curse what God blessed. Instead he informed Balak
of how he could get Israel to come out from under God’s protective covering
(Rev. 2:14).
The tragedies America currently suffers
are satanic attacks allowed by God lifting His hand of protection off America
due to ungodly policies, decisions and laws of those elected..
Only more devastation can follow
unless and until America and her leaders repent of their sinful decrees by
returning to God’s ways.
