“The kings of the earth did not believe, nor did any of the world’s people. That enemies and foes could enter the gates of Jerusalem. But it happened because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests who shed within her the blood of the righteous.” Lamentations 4:12-13.

President Barack Obama has proved, in his first one hundred days as President of the United States, that he is indeed, “Change that we can believe in.” It has become apparent for all who have eyes to see that America has changed from One God and One standard of Law (Jesus) to a pantheon of gods with no standard of law at all. This change did not happen overnight. It did not begin with the election of Barack Obama. It began long before in the Church of Jesus Christ. The salt lost its saltiness and, as it did, enemies of God began to rule in the gates.

This is not new. Jeremiah the prophet lamented over the fall of Jerusalem because she, who had been chosen by God and greatly blessed by God, had departed from Him long before, and now enemies had entered her gates and were ruling over her. The problem was not with her government. The pitiful estate of her God-hating government was the result of something far more insidious. The problem rested squarely upon the shoulders of her prophets and priests who “…shed within her the blood of the righteous.” This was the systemic problem.

The world was shocked that such a thing could happen to Jerusalem. That enemies and foes could enter her gates. It happened because the blood of the righteous (those who feared God and faithfully proclaimed His Word) was spilled in the very house of God. Yes, the temple of God in Jeremiah’s time had become a den of robbers. True prophets were hated as they called false prophets, priests, kings, and people to return to God. These were judgmental and divisive men. True prophets were considered enemies of both church and state.

When enemies and foes are ruling over God’s people it is a sign and a judgment from God Himself that we have forsaken Him. We have become the tail and not the head. Though His Name may be often on our lying lips as we spend time in the church of “What’s Happening Now,” our hearts are far from Him.

Barack Obama is a sign and a judgment from God that the enemies of God are now ruling in the gates of America. At every major front in the battle between two seeds (Genesis 3:15) President Obama has taken his stand with the lies of the devil. He is pro-death, pro-homosexual, pro-any religion but true Christianity, pro-euthanasia, pro-debt, ad nauseam. While most of America was remembering Jesus making His way to the cross this past Easter our President was making his way around the world prostrating Christianity to the level of all other religions. The kings of the earth and the world’s people could not believe what they were seeing!

When

He was in London at the G-20 summit he bowed to the waist before King Abdullah of the House of Saud. He did not bow like this before the Queen of England or anyone else. He bowed before Islam.

No sitting president has ever bowed like this. When he bowed, he did not bow alone. He bowed for all of us. As the Head of State and the Commander-in-Chief of America’s armed forces he prostrated Jesus, the God of our Pilgrim Forefathers and our Founding Fathers, to the false and murderous god of Islam. Can you believe it?

When in France, President Nikolas Sarkozy invited him to visit the beaches of Normandie to visit the graves where many U.S. soldiers lay buried. He chose not to do that, but he did have time to visit a mosque where he took off his shoes to honor Allah. He also apologized to all of Europe for America’s “arrogance and derisiveness.” Can you believe it?

When in Istanbul, Turkey, addressing the Parliament, he was introduced as Barack Hussein Obama. He noted, to the pleasure of all, “We (Americans) do not consider ourselves a Christian nation, or a Jewish nation, or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.” Says who! Can you believe it?

He has forgotten, or has never been taught, that our Founding Father’s loved Jesus and quoted the Bible more than any other book. America’s history makes no sense apart from the God of the Bible. It wasn’t a mixture of Hindus, Muslims, and Christians that traversed the mighty Atlantic on the Mayflower to found this great nation. It was Christians seeking to advance the Gospel of Christ. Take the God of the Bible out of American history and you have a lie. Barack is lying about America and therefore lying about the God who made her great! Can you believe it?

He then said, “The United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical… We seek broad engagement based upon mutual interests and mutual respect. We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country.” Can you believe it?

The world has been at war with Islam since 622 A.D. We have been at war with Islam since Thomas Jefferson sent the United States Marines to the shores of Tripoli in 1804 to end Islamic piracy. Christianity has always been at war with the false and murderous god of Islam. It is a lie birthed in the pit of hell. It is the devil’s seed. It has unleashed hell on earth. Tell me one thing Islam has done to shape America or the world for the better.

Here is the end of it all. “But the children rebelled against me: they did not follow my decrees, they were not careful to keep my laws…So I said I would pour my wrath on them and spend my anger against them in the desert…I also turned them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could not live by; I let them become defiled through their gifts – the sacrifice of every firstborn (abortion) – that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel 20: 21-26.

Now this Scripture presents change we can truly believe in. Are you filled with horror over the new and outrageous laws and statutes that we are being turned over to? Laws that call evil good and good evil. Are you filled with horror over the draining of American wealth? Watching it being transferred into the hands of our enemies. Are you filled with horror over the trashing of God (Jesus) who blessed America and made her great, free, and prosperous? Have we forgotten that the God of the Bible has more disaster than our federal government has relief?

It behooves us then to remember this one thing. “Blessed is the nation whose God is the lord…” Psalm 33:12. Don’t wait for little Barrack to bow his tiny little knee before Almighty God (Jesus). It may never happen. Bow yours and do what Jesus says. This will bring about the change America desperately needs.
