There is No Peace for the USA

Two years ago I wrote and published an article about how the United States of America is in the same moral state today as the nations God judged and destroyed in 722 B.C. God called Jeremiah to testify to the truth about what was about to happen, that Jerusalem and many of the surrounding nations were about to be destroyed, and he warned Jeremiah that the opposition would fight back hard against him. But God promised to be with him during those difficult times and rescue him. He was told that the days were so evil, that he was not to take a wife and raise a family. When Jeremiah began to tell people the truth, he was opposed by his own family, and by the religious leaders of his time, including other prophets, who tried to silence him. Does this sound familiar to anyone reading this? Do you see any parallels between what Jeremiah suffered, and how people telling the truth today are suffering also, even from their own family members? The reason why so many people opposed Jeremiah was because they did not think it was possible that God would judge them, because they believed that they were the "chosen people" and that they were better than all the other nations around them. They continued to believe that God would favor them over their enemies. As the USA celebrates its "Independence Day" this week on July 4th, the parallels between the people of Jeremiah's day and the people living in the US today, particularly the "Christians" who are the dominant religious group in the culture today, are stunning. But the truth that Jeremiah proclaimed thousands of years ago to his culture is the same truth that applies to the United States today: "Peace, peace," they say, when there is no peace. (Jeremiah 6:14)
