How to Best Prepare

Oh My precious children, put your trust in Me, for I am your God, and I am well able to lead you where you should go.

You are like sheep without a shepherd when you continue on your own paths without My direction. You cannot see the path before you and know not how to best prepare.

Those in My flock shall be fed, and sheltered, and protected as they cling to Me, and Me only. There is still much for you to enjoy in the time left to you in the earth, only as you are about My business.

Keep your eyes on Me.

Isaiah 30:20-21
20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Proverbs 3:5-7
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.


Psalm 37:25  I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

From Creation Until Now

My eyes are always watching you. Though so often you do not feel Me near, I am always near you, My children. I am always aware of everything you are going through, and I have your future perfectly planned. I remember every prayer you have ever prayed, and I know the desires of your hearts.

My greatest desire for you is that you would take the time to know Me this way as well, that your eyes would always be on Me, that you would think upon how I view what is around you, that you would remember everything I have ever spoken to you from creation until now.

Proverbs 15:3  The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

Matthew 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jeremiah 29:11  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Psalm 37:4  Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Isaiah 26:3  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee

Joshua 1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.


Psalm 1:2  But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Revelation 5:8  And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

Evil Increasing

My children, the evil in your world is increasing daily. There will be times when it seems to you the world has gone mad. These are the times for you to draw near to Me. Pray to Me and tell Me what concerns you most. Draw near, sit quietly and receive My comfort and My presence for your souls. In this way, you will be sustained through troubling times.

Know this: Those appointed to wrath cannot escape no matter where they run, but My children are not appointed to wrath. You will go through tribulations and afflictions, but My peace and My power will carry you, and then to eternal life and pleasures forevermore.

For now, seek My face, and in the world, overcome evil with good.

Revelation 15:1  And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

John 3:36  He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Matthew 24:20-22
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

John 16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Revelation 2:10  10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Romans 12:20-21
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Oh America

Oh America, America, the nation once so bright for My Name, you have sealed your fate with your wicked ways, and the days left for you are numbered.

Then horrors shall fill your streets. The dead will outnumber the living, and the sounds of war will fill the ears of your people. As you have trampled over others, so shall your enemies now trample over you.

Your people shall rummage for food, where once it was abundant. They will thirst for pure water, because they have rejected Me, the living water. They shall cry for mercy but find none, as they have shown none to My people.

Prepare to meet your fate, America.You have been weighed, and found wanting. Your reign of power has come to its end.

Daniel 5:25-28
25 And this is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Jeremiah 2:5  Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

Jeremiah 2:13  For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

Jeremiah 2:19-22
19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord God of hosts.
20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.
21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.

Jeremiah 5:29  Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Walk with Me

Walk with Me in the cool of the evening as Adam did. Talk with Me at dawn each day. Pour out your troubles and cares to Me that I may help you to solve them. I have wisdom to help you see your way through. Give Me your hurts and disappointments, and take My peace in your heart in return. Know that I am working all things out for your good.

My precious child, do you not know, I have the answer for every situation, every circumstance in your life?

Cast your worries, your fears and concerns on Me, for I am a mighty God and I am well able to carry your worry. I will turn what the devil meant for harm to your good.

Come to Me, My child, and share your heart with Me. Let Me calm your fears.

Genesis 3:8  And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

Psalm 63:1  O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

Romans 10:11  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Psalm 55:22  Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

1 Peter 5:6-7
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Romans 8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Genesis 50:20  But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.


Isaiah 61:3  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

I Cannot Bless You

Struggle not so against My leading, children, for you do not know all of what is coming to where you are as I do.

My desire is always for your good, it is always to bless you, but I cannot bless you if you will not obey Me. I cannot bless you if you stubbornly cling to your sin. I cannot bless you when you depart from Me in idolizing worldly relationships I do not desire for you.

I cannot bless you if you refuse to pick up your cross, and deny yourself to follow Me.

You are asking Me to bless the worldliness in you and that I cannot do.

Jeremiah 29:11  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

James 4:4  Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Matthew 16:24  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

The Greatest Joy

My people seek to know what is coming. I will reveal these things to you, My children, as you need to know them, but only as you spend time with Me, time in My presence.

Do you not know that the greatest joy on earth is to be in My presence? There is no greater pleasure, or joy. Yet some of you spend lifetimes chasing other things or people you think will fulfill you, only to find you were wrong at the ends of your lives.

Let My love and My Kingdom be your greatest desires, let the peace and joy of knowing you are saved be continually in your hearts. 

Oh, My children, I desire so much more for you than you have, but not in material things, not in worldly relationships; in ME.

Psalm 35:9  And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

Luke 10:20  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Isaiah 12:2  Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Luke 12:16-20
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

My Great Name

The time has come.The time has come for unbelievers to see My mighty power throughout the earth.

My people, I desire to do great miracles, signs and wonders among you in the earth. Will you be My vessels of honor to perform these feats through? I will now raise up ministries of deliverance, miracles, signs, and wonders to show the world the power in My Great Name.

I shall prepare My willing ones for what is required to walk in these paths. For some of you, this means great change. When you work for Me, your life is not your own, and I direct your paths. These paths can be lonely paths, far away from all you know and love.

Are you willing to walk these paths for Me? Or do you choose your worldly comforts and relationships over My calling?

Choose carefully, My children.

Mark 16:16-18
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Jeremiah 16:2-4
2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.
3 For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;
4 They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

Galatians 2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Release from Bondage

My people I am working in your lives to release you from bondage. Bondage is never from Me, for where My Spirit is, there is liberty always.

Some of you will see a change in your circumstances that at first appears negative  (in my spirit, I saw spouses or others leaving, jobs ending, etc.), but it is actually an open door for you to be free because I have a better plan for you.

My people must be in position for what is coming, for in this way, I can protect you. I cannot protect those out of  My will. Watch for My signs, listen for My leading you in your spirit. I am the Good Shepherd, and I always guide My sheep

2 Cor. 3:17  Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Proverbs 14:12  There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

John 10:27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Turn Back

Turn back.

Turn back from your worldly ways and walk with Me again. Turn away from those thoughts that urge you to seek wealth and prestige among men, for all these things shall soon count for naught.

My children, you cannot see the destruction that is coming and the worldly treasures so many put their hope and trust in are soon to be of no value at all.

Lay up treasures in heaven, where world events and disasters cannot affect them. Store the treasures My Word offers you, for its value shall not decrease. Do your good works now, whilst you can, for soon it shall be night where no man worketh.

Come, spend time in My presence, that I may show you what is to befall those who live on the earth.

Ezekiel 7:19  They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

1 Timothy 6:7-10
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Matthew 6:24  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Proverbs 11:28  He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

Matthew 6:20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

John 9:4   I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

Jeremiah 42:3   That the Lord thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.

New Paths

I desire My children would be about My business in the earth. Your lives are about to take new paths you know not of, and I desire you would focus on glorifying My Great Name in the earth, and not fear these new paths.

You know it is the end of the age. Look into My Word for what this means. Let yourself die to the world around you and be found alive in Me.

Let this be a time in your life of focusing only on Me. Let Me direct your paths. Let Me guide you into safe places. Let Me be your refuge and strength, your salvation, for I love you with a love that will never die.

Proverbs 3:5-7
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

Psalm 46:1-3
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

Luke 2:49  And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

Matthew 28:19-20
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


Jeremiah 31:3  The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Persecution

Many of My children are concerned about the timing of My coming and what you may have to endure in these times.

I tell you the truth, that when you get to heaven, it will all be as nothing. What you endure on earth is but a vapor compared to eternity. Some of you are called to be martyrs for My Name’s sake. Some of you will endure persecution, some of you shall endure much (persecution), but know this – whatever I have called you to endure, I have also empowered and anointed you to endure, and do not fear.

Fear takes away your joy in today and does nothing about tomorrow. Tomorrow will still come, and the plan will not change.

Am I not the Lord? Am I not able to carry you through? Why do you doubt so?

2 Tim. 3:12  Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

2 Corinthians 4:17  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

Matthew 6:27-30
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Sunday, July 12, 2015

I Am Your Refuge

I am your refuge. I am your strong tower, your defender, your peace. And I will be your protector as My Word for the end of times comes to pass. You need not fear, My people.

For in My Holy Word, did not My people walk through fire? Did not My people walk through the Red Sea? Through famine, and wars, unscathed? And so also shall you who are truly of  Me.

Stand, draw near to Me. Focus on My salvation, on My glory, and watch as I care for you who are truly My own through to the end! You who do not side with evil, who do not condone sin, who do not teach what is evil and call it good, who stand for truth, you are truly Mine.

Rejoice!

My return is drawing near!

2 Samuel 22:2-4
2 And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
4 I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

Daniel 3:25
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Exodus 14:22  And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

Genesis 41:49-51
49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.

James 4:8  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Isaiah 5:20  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Matthew 5:19  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Philippians 4:4  Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

I Have Warned

Life shall go on “as normal” for a time in this nation, but then I shall move swiftly in judgment. My judgments are righteous, My children, do not think otherwise.

When what you see seems harsh to you, remember I am a holy God. I have warned and begged this nation (America) to repent again and again and again, and My Word has fallen on deaf ears. The wicked have walked on, and now trample My people who are called by My Name, and this I shall not ignore.

I always show mercy to the merciful. My people who are merciful need not fear. I will judge the wicked swiftly, for still they defy Me, continuing in their filth. They will indeed know that I AM the mighty Jehovah, and they shall see My mighty power!

A storm comes to America, a storm that has been brewing for some time now, and I AM in the storm. My judgment is in this storm. This storm comes in response to the stench of evil that rises up to Me each day from that wicked nation – once beautiful to Me – that has turned from and defied Me in every way.

Pray now for your lost loved ones, My children, especially those who abide there, for America shall fall, and great will be the fall of it. In one day her judgment will come, and I shall take away her power utterly. From that day, she will know only weakness, and she herself will cry for mercy, as so many others have cried for mercy before her powers of war.

It is My power that does this. I AM the Lord.

Proverbs 6:12-16
12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

Micah 2:1-3
2 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.

Matthew 5:7  Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Revelation 18:7-9
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

Signs

I shall bring upon the earth signs that I alone am God.

My people, do not fear when you see these signs, only remain ready at all times for My soon return.

These signs shall cause men’s hearts to faint, and they  (the signs) shall also turn unbelieving hearts to Me. Many souls shall be added to My Kingdom as I reveal My mighty power in the earth.

Luke 21:25-28

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Much Suffering

Much suffering lies ahead for the people of America.

My people need not fear. Did I not feed My own in the desert, in times of famine? Did I not protect My own who walked in My ways, even in times of war, in My Holy Word?

The key, My children, is to be found abiding in Me, in My Word, for there you will see how I treat My own. Many of My people are fearful of My judgments. You do well to fear My power, but remember, I am your Father. You are My precious child.

When you obey your Father, is there anything to fear?

Exodus 16:15  And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.
John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1 Kings 18:1-3
18 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.
3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly:
John 15:4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Exodus 15:11  Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Matthew 5:16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

America's Demise

I was praying in my morning prayer time about what is to befall America, in light of the Supreme Court ruling  attempting to redefine God’s original design for marriage, when I saw a beautiful woman, a Miss America, with a gorgeous smile, as she was waving to all the other nations of the world. Then I saw a close up of her  smile, and I saw as it turned to a filthy mouth full of rotted teeth. As I watched, I saw the body attached to the mouth take a terrible blow, and it became the still, open mouth of death.

The pangs of America’s demise have begun. Your nation was once a great joy to Me, and to its people, but no more, for she has chosen to mock Me. Now I shall laugh at her derision, and at her calamity.

Her calamities shall be many for she is, even now, being quietly invaded by her enemies. The rumblings of war shall be heard in her streets, and there will be much bloodshed in this country. As she has shed the blood of others, now shall she also bleed.

She will suffer disaster after disaster, each one leaving her weaker, until at last she can no longer fight, and so shall her light be extinguished. So shall she be left desolate.

Proverbs 1:26  I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
Psalm 79:4  We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
Leviticus 26:43  The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
Proverbs 14:34  Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
