What's Happening In America Has Already Happened In The Time Of Habakkuk
By David J. Stewart | April 2013
Habakkuk 1:4, “Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.”
The Old Testament minor prophet, Habakkuk (607
BC), preached to the rebellious nation of Israel just prior to the total
destruction of Jerusalem. Habakkuk cried out to God in prayer, asking why
evil had been tolerated for so long. Habakkuk speaks of widespread injustice
in the court system and corruption.
Habakkuk 1:4, “Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go
forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong
judgment proceedeth.” The word “slacked” in Hebrew means “sluggish.” A
sign of a decadent society is a sluggish and corrupt court system. Evil was
everywhere in Judah. The people hadn't listened to the major prophet
Jeremiah (627-561 BC). For preaching the truth, king Zedekiah threw Jeremiah
into a miry pit of clay underground and left him for dead.
Habakkuk was a prophet of doom to Judah. God had waited enough and His patience had run out. Although repeatedly called to repentance, the nation of Israel stubbornly refused to repent toward God. Habakkuk asks God how much longer this intolerable condition will last. Habakkuk was frustrated and tired. Habakkuk was a righteous man and it frustrated him to see the wickedness, injustice and moral rottenness of his day.
To the prophet's surprise and dismay, God announced that He indeed was at the end of His long-suffering and would no longer be patient with Israel. God has had enough of their rebellion and is going to send the Babylonians against Judah to judge them.
Likewise, today in 2013, God is getting fed-up with Americans! After
40 years of brutally murdering our children, how much more will the Lord
tolerate? After a half-century of widespread sexual immorality, adultery,
fornication and homosexuality, how much more will God tolerate until He
judges our nation? I believe America is on the brink of God's judgment. Our
economy is going to eventually implode. There will be riots in the streets.
Guns will be banned nationwide. Free speech will be banned. Homosexuality
will be the law of the land. The traditional family will be eradicated.
Ultimately, a police state is going to rise up out of the ashes of American
society. The New World Order will be a prison control grid. The entire world
is headed for World War III and the Antichrist will emerge as a dictator
over the world,
who will be of Jewish descent.
America: Destroyed By Design!
The wicked have been plotting against our nation since it's beginning in 1776. The generational conspiracy perpetuated by secret societies to overthrow America is still going stronger than ever. Truth is stranger than fiction. I was looking at the back of a U.S. one-dollar bill today and thought about how much the number 13 appears on it...
Many companies use the pyramid within their logos. James Walker, a 32º Mason, shares some facts with us about the above symbols:
- 13 leaves in the olive branch
- 13 bars and stripes in the shield
- 13 arrows in the right claw
- 13 letters in the "E Pluribus Unum" on the ribbon
- 13 stars in the green crest above
- 32 long feathers on its right wing representing the 32º in Freemasonry
- 13 granite stones in the Pyramid. (The 13 layers represent the 13 Illuminati bloodlines)
- 13 letters in Annuit Coeptis
This is called Masonic symbolism. It should also be noted that the Eagle has 32 feathers in the right wing, but 33 in its left wing. The 32 feathers representing the number of ordinary degrees of the Scottish Rite, and the 33 feathers representing the 33º of Freemasonry. You can learn more about occult symbols on the dollar here. Why the number 13? 13 is the number of death and total destruction. Literally, the reverse of every U.S. one dollar bill shouts out loud and clear that America is headed for deliberate destruction. Why you ask? Simply because the best way to rebuild something is to first tear it all down to the ground. Dr. Jack Hyles (1926-2001) preached an excellent sermon on this fascinating subject back in 1970 titled, “Why The Antichrist Must Come Soon!” All of the infamous dictators throughout history arose from the ruins of a fallen decadent civilization.
Habakkuk speaks of “wrong judgment” proceeding forth (Habakkuk 1:4). We see much wrong judgment in America today, from the state courts to the federal U.S. Supreme Court... abortion, same-sex marriage, cruel and unusual punishment, et cetera. Just as in Habakkuk's day, the WICKED outnumber and encompass about the righteous. Therefore, wrong judgment goeth forth!!! There is much injustice in the courts today. While a drunk-driver is sentenced to 5-years in prison for murdering her daughter, another man gets 200-years for downloading some dirty pictures. Check out MADD statistics on prison-time for drunk-drivers who kill (many states can give NO TIME in prison for drunk-driving homicides).
While “Freeway” Ricky Ross spends 15-years in prison for profiting over $1,000,000 a day distributing cocaine under the freeways of Los Angeles for a decade, a mother in Kansas gets life in prison for $40 possession of cocaine. The big fish walk free and the little fish fry. The bigger issue is: Where do all those drugs come from? For more bizarre comparisons, see America: Land Of Injustice! Something is very wrong with a system that punishes people for centuries in prison for thought crimes, while actual murderers go free and serve little or no time in prison. Jury settings become emotionally charged oftentimes, personal bias weighs down upon the accused, and there is no justice that is equal to the crime. The U.S. Supreme Court for decades has been blatantly disregarding the 8th Amendment in the citizen's Bill Of Rights, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment for any crime. The courts couldn't care less, usurping the place of God, condemning some people mercilessly for minor drug offenses while freeing others for murder. The Crime Of Being Poor!
The World Trade Center (WTC) 911 attacks were blamed on Osama Bin Laden, but he had nothing to do with any of it. He wasn't caught, nor was he buried at sea. Navy Seal Team 6 (that allegedly caught Osama) are all dead, blown up in a helicopter months later. The globalists had to eliminate all leads and traceable evidence. It's certainly not the perfect crime, but they did manage to pull-off the perfect cover, which gives them someone else to blame through their various mainstream newsmedia outlets. They've created a false trail to mislead the hound-dogs (the inquisitive public). The real leads are being ignored. The fact that metallurgical testing was not allowed (which would have proven if bombs were in the buildings), and all the WTC debris was shipped to China, is solid evidence of a cover-up. High crimes! God sees all the wickedness, whether it be high crimes or low crimes. Habakkuk was disgusted by the things that he saw happening in Judah.
While tens-of-millions of criminals illegally flood across the Mexico border into America unchallenged, Americans are molested by TSA at the airports as potential terrorists. While the government is concerned about poor people on welfare who have a color television set, billion-dollar corporations like Walt Disney receive hundreds-of-billions of dollars in corporate welfare from the government. There are thousands of similar disturbing comparisons that could be made. Lew Rockwell: Government Is Far Worse Than The Mafia (full-length video). Evil and crime are escalating nationwide. A police state is being erected to deal with it. The end result will be a Global, Godless, Communist, Totalitarian, Police State! Out of the ruins of the United States will arise a technological dictatorship, policed by drones, ruled by tyrants, a prison planet, aka, a New World order.
Habakkuk 1:1-7 “The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.”
In response to Habakkuk's
complaints that God's hand of judgment had been delayed in coming, the Lord
responds by telling Habakkuk that He'll use Babylon as a rod of chastisement
to judge the nations! Upon hearing these frightening Words, Habakkuk falls
to his knees and cries out to God, dismayed and disinhearted. Habakkuk
wanted to see justice executed, but not the entire nation dissolved.
I Will Rejoice In The God Of My Salvation
Habakkuk admittedly doesn't grasp all that God is going, but he concludes to trust upon the Lord no matter what happens, which is a lesson for every Christian. Habakkuk 3:18-19, “Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength...” Likewise, God is the Christian's strength in these dark times of sin and evil. Let us rejoice in the Lord, and joy in the God of our salvation.
A beautiful truth is found in Jonah 2:9, where Jonah pondered these thoughts in the belly of the whale (great fish). Just like Habakkuk, the prophet Jonah knew that salvation was solely of the Lord God. Acts 10:43, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.” Jonah 2:9, “But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.” Isn't that beautiful? Jonah wasn't thinking how to escape, nor how he was going to die; but rather, he was thinking that only the Messiah (Jesus) can save. Salvation is of the Lord, not mankind. How ironic that 90% of all so-called Christian religions pervert the truth of the gospel by ADDING things to it; such as, requiring sacraments, ceasing sinful bad habits, water baptism, holy communion, last rights, et cetera. These are all false teachings.
Many people are arrogant and elevate their unholy priests above the inspired and holy Words of God. Hell is their future home. Biblical salvation is solely of the Lord, only by faith in the precious name of Jesus Christ. The gospel teaches that Jesus DIED, was BURIED and then miraculously RESURRECTED after three days. If you receive the gospel as full-payment for your sins, then that very moment you become a born-again Christian forever.
Some naive students of the Bible say that Jonah was swallowed by a big fish and not a whale. However, the word for “whale” in Matthew 12:40 is ketos, from which our modern word “CETOLOGY” (the study of whales) comes from. Jonah was swallowed by a whale!!!
Psalms 37:1-13, “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass... The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.”
I Make No Predictions, But Evil Takeover Is Imminent! (Satan knows his time is short!)
HIDING THE TRUTH IN PLAIN SIGHT
Proverbs 14:34, “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”
Mark 1:15: “...repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." —John 5:39
"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power." —2nd Thessalonians 1:8,9
