America is sick
By Peter Salemi
America, and to a larger extent-the western English nations, are SICK! We don’t know it, we don’t like to talk about it, we don’t even like to be diagnosed. But the great physician in heaven above Jesus Christ of Nazareth has diagnosed our peoples, and he says in his word the Bible, that we are very ill indeed!
In Isaiah the first chapter, Almighty God has given us the analogy of a body. He speaks of “Israel” his “people” and calls them a “Sinful nation” (Isaiah 1:3, 4). Israel was to become a “nation and a company of Nations” (Gen 35:11). We believe these peoples are the USA and the British Commonwealth of nations.
This prophecy can apply to any one of the Israelitish nations of Canada, USA, Britain, Australia, New Zealand etc.… When God says “Ah sinful nation” (v.4), it can apply to one of these, because all are suffering from the same afflictions. Why is this the case? Because God says that these peoples have “rebelled” (v.2) against him. When this happens God says that specific curses would come upon these peoples “for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.” (Deut 28:46).
So whatever the Israelite “nation” it is-this analogy it applies to them!
God says, “…whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint… From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.” (Isaiah 1:5, 6).
Let’s examine this analogy and see if it rings true according to the word of God.
The Head (Government)
The Head of the nation of course is its government. Is the government sick? All decisions made by our English and American nations are all based upon the disease of political correctness and wokeness which is anti-God and bible. The government officials just care about themselves and how they can get richer. Scandal after scandal proves that these people are in it for themselves and not the people. Government officials are lining their pockets laundering money through government programs and foreign aid, milking the tax payer for all their worth so they can get richer. God says to the governments, “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?” (Ezekiel 34:2). God says he will punish the shepherds of Israel and take the kingdom from them (Ezekiel 34:10).
Social commentator Peter F. Drucker decades ago described the crisis in government and still rings true today: “There is mounting evidence,” he wrote, “that [the] government [of the United States] is big rather than strong; that it is fat and flabby rather than powerful; that it costs a great deal but does not achieve much. There is mounting evidence also that the citizen less and less believes in government and is increasingly disenchanted with it. Indeed, government is sick - and just at the time when we need a strong, healthy, and vigorous government” (The Age of Discontinuity, p. 212, emphasis added).
God says of these sick governments that now govern these great nations, “they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.” (Isaiah 1:6). He says the same in Ezekiel 34, “The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.” (v.4). These government leaders don’t heal the nations, instead they encourage sin! Political correctness and wokeness is what they promote which is anti-God and Bible. Everything God says to do to heal the nation they encourage the exact opposite. They promote abortion, homosexuality, single motherhood, broken families, divorce etc.…They are not even attempting to heal the nations!
The Rest of the Body
What about the heart of the nation? The pride, the power, the patriotism of America has been waning for decades. There is no national purpose or goal for America anymore. No matter how many times the President yells “We are the United States of America!”- It’s all hype! She is a paper tiger rotting from within. Direction and resolve produce character and strength. The only goal we really seem to have in life is just hanging on to a little bit of the good life while we have it.
Also, when anyone shows any Patriotism (what’s left of it) in America, Canada, Britain etc.…What Happens? The government puts these people down and calls them “intolerant bigots” “racists” etc.… And because of this people are afraid to show their patriotism; and kids in school, (because of these left wing teachers who dominate the schools now) are taught that any type of love for their country is bad and should not be exercised. William D. Gairdner a Canadian writer spoke of the lack of Patriotism in Canada and said:
“If you want to know whether your culture is headed up or down, just look to the leaders - the thinkers, teachers, writers, and political visionaries - who will always be on the ramparts first. If they are defending, promoting, deepening, the core beliefs, you’re looking at a raising culture. But if your own leaders are the first and most powerful critics of the culture, or simply fail to defend it, or seek to replace it with a patsy ‘policy,’ then it’s headed straight to the bottom. Lowering cultures are ripe for invasion, and if they are of the mealy-mouthed, everything goes, modern liberal type, then not much has to be done by the invader. In the way that Marx said capitalists would be found selling the rope used to hang them, most modern democracies, so devoted to diversity and pluralism, have failed to defend themselves.” (Article; A Real Culture, emphasis added). It will not take much for a nation to be taken over since no one loves nor believes in the country any longer. It is true what God says, “the whole heart faint.” (Isa 1:5).
Let’s examine the other parts of the body:
Skeletal system-The founding documents, concepts, ideals and philosophies of a nation might be compared to the skeletal system of Uncle Sam. Without the support of those ideals, we have lost our way.
“In God We Trust.” But we don’t! As a matter of fact, people are still not really sure that they should talk about God in America, except in hushed whispers inside churches, or in a sermon, or in profanity. We get embarrassed when someone brings God into a conversation. It is “Politically incorrect” to speak about God. People get Offended, triggered etc.…and people are forced to shut their mouths about the foundational corner stone of these nations which is GOD! (see 1 Peter 2:6; Job 38:6; Isa 28:16; Eph 2:20; Matthew 21:42-44).
We can also talk about the home-the traditional family which is the backbone of a nation-completely destroyed in our modern day! Single mothers, homosexual marriages, the state raising our kids instead of parents etc.… is all encouraged by the governments of these once great nations. “Totalitarian leaders both hate and fear the family. This is because totalitarians want to vest all power in themselves and the family is a threat to this objective” (Article: Families are the Foundation of a Nation by Real Women of Canada, emphasis added).
The founding principles of the USA and also the English speaking nations of Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc…are all under attack-the Magna Carta, the US Constitution, by the Left wing primarily. “The United States was founded on the principle that government exists to protect the natural rights of the governed, including, especially, the natural right to liberty. The Declaration of Independence says so explicitly. The Constitution — signed 233 years ago today — is clearly an attempt to give practical expression to that principle… The Constitution is replete with provisions designed to limit governmental power and protect citizens’ rights…. Unfortunately, by the beginning of the 20th century many self-styled American ‘progressives’ had turned against the ideal of limited, constitutional government. What they wanted instead was a system of unlimited centralized control by wise and beneficent technocrats.” (Article: The left’s long war on the Constitution by Jon Guze, emphasis added).
Nervous System-The Nervous system is like the communication system of a nation. When one watches the news media especially in the last decade, journalist today do not report the news, the report their spin on the news. We have been subject to lies and propaganda mainly from the left because they want to hold on to their power and they broadcast their lies 24/7 constantly to have the public agree with their views. Journalists today are not journalists, but activists disguised as journalists. They have an agenda that they want to implement on our societies.
We can also look at Hollywood and the music industry communicating there messages of violence and sex, numbing our minds to what they think society should look like which is of course anti-God.
Digestive system is our cities. To me, cities are places which have become virtually uninhabitable. As we look at America’s cities, on the problems of their crowded, teeming centers of population, what the cities ingest, crime, hate, drugs, strip clubs, bathhouses, illegal immigrants and gangs. When I think of these huge sprawling cities, belching forth their effluent and harboring their personal terror, to me it looks like Uncle Sam's stomach is in bad shape. Look at L.A. Cleveland, Detroit, Baltimore San Francisco and others democrat run cities. God says “your cities are burned with fire” Which has happened and will continue to happen. We have severe acid reflux disease for sure!
Finally, what about the muscular system which is the labor force of Uncle Sam? America is unable to compete in international trade? There are some serious afflictions in Uncle Sam’s muscular strength. The manufacturing section in America and Canada have been gutted; half our industry is now in China, yet, people want higher wages, more fringe benefits, longer paid vacations, earlier retirement, and shorter work hours. We have Monday morning absenteeism, slipshod, unconcerned work, high turnover rates, and a lack of responsibility on the job. These turned-off attitudes are draining our national economic strength. Unions sucking these companies dry always threatening strikes. Most jobs created now are not in the private sector producing goods; they are mostly government and service jobs that produce nothing!
Millennials want to start at the top and not the bottom of a company; on top of that they want time during their work day to play on their cell phones. I know a few business owners that refuse to hire millennials.
America use to be the greatest exporters of steel. Now it’s Porn. This shows how sick America has become. And inflation is up and it’s going to stay up no matter what the President says. The dollar is weakening so America is losing its purchasing power.
America is Old!
America no longer is the young vigorous nation it used to be.
Politicians continue to say “we are the United states of America” there is “nothing we can’t handle.” That was true before but not now! When they speak this way it’s all hype and nothing more!
America’s strength is Gone! Her strength is being spent elsewhere in the Ukraine and other countries defending their borders and not their own borders. God said, “And your strength shall be spent in vain:” (Lev 26:20). Tax dollars continue to leave the country for others and the dollars that are being spent, the USA is not benefitting, others are, and the USA continues to bleed money.
God says, “Strangers [wars overseas] have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not” (Hosea 7:9). We still think we are vigorous strong and young. It’s all hype! It’s not true! America is old, tired and ready to retire!
We are sick and our nations will die and collapse if we do not turn this around! America and the West need to “REPENT”! Unless we seek this change now and look to God to heal our national sicknesses, we won’t survive as a nation.
