The American Harlot
Zerubbabel
original?
And the Jesus the American Church preaches, is He the Jesus who walked the
fields of Galilee?
The Jesus of American religion blesses the stock market.
The Jesus of Galilee said, 'lay not up treasures on earth.'
The Jesus of American religion blesses the Americas wars and soldiers.
The Jesus of Galilee said, 'he who takes up the sword shall perish by the
sword.'
The Jesus of American religion makes no demands, but devotes himself totally
to our happiness.
The Jesus of Galilee said, 'Unless you give up all your own possessions, you
cannot be My disciple.'
The Jesus of American religion offers heaven to the unrepentant and
prosperity to the rich.
The Jesus of Galilee said, 'Woe, to you who are rich, and unless you repent
you shall all likewise perish.'
The Jesus of Galilee asked."Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord' and do not do
the things I say?"
The Christians of America answer, "We are saved by grace without works,
begone deceiver!" They whisper to one another, "He must have an unclean
spirit."
The Christians of America say in their hearts, "God will not judge the
American Church. She sends more missionaries than any other. She preaches
the 'gospel' in all the world by 'christian' television and radio. She
builds beautiful churches and schools to the glory of God. She has 'church'
Wednesday night, Sunday morning and Sunday evening. Why, we worship in the
Spirit! W_E L_O_V_E J_E_S_U_S!!"
"Do not trust in deceptive words, saying, 'This is the temple of the LORD,
the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.'
"For if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you truly practice
justice between a man and his neighbor, if you do not oppress the alien, the
orphan, or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk
after other gods to your own ruin, then I will let you dwell in this place,
in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
"Behold, you are trusting in deceptive words to no avail. Will you steal,
murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and offer sacrifices to
Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known, then come and stand
before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, 'We are
delivered!'-- that you may do all these abominations?
"Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your
sight? Behold, I, even I, have seen it," declares the LORD. "But go now to
My place which was in Shiloh, where I made My name dwell at the first, and
see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel. And now,
because you have done all these things," declares the LORD, "and I spoke to
you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you
but you did not answer, therefore, I will do to the house which is called by
My name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave you and your
fathers, as I did to Shiloh.And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have
cast out all your brothers, all the offspring of Ephraim.
"As for you, do not pray for this people, and do not lift up cry or prayer
for them, and do not intercede with Me; for I do not hear you. Do you not
see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of
Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and
the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour
out libations to other gods in order to spite Me. Do they spite Me?"
declares the LORD. "Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?"
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, My anger and My wrath will be
poured out on this place, on man and on beast and on the trees of the field
and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and not be quenched."
Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Add your burnt offerings to
your sacrifices and eat flesh. For I did not speak to your fathers, or
command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt,
concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. But this is what I commanded
them, saying, 'Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My
people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be
well with you.' Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in
their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went
backward and not forward. Since the day that your fathers came out of the
land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets,
daily rising early and sending them. Yet they did not listen to Me or
incline their ear, but stiffened their neck; they did evil more than their
fathers."
"And you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to
you; and you shall call to them, but they will not answer you. And you
shall say to them, 'This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the
LORD their God or accept correction; truth has perished and has been cut off
from their mouth. 'Cut off your hair and cast it away, And take up a
lamentation on the bare heights; For the LORD has rejected and forsaken The
generation of His wrath.' For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil
in My sight," declares the LORD, "they have set their detestable things in
the house which is called by My name, to defile it. And they have built the
high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn
their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, and it
did not come into My mind.
"Therefore, behold, days are coming," declares the LORD, "when it will no
more be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley
of the Slaughter; for they will bury in Topheth because there is no other
place. And the dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the
sky, and for the beasts of the earth; and no one will frighten them away.
Then I will make to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of
Jerusalem the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will become a ruin.
(Jer. 7:4-34 NAS)
Can you not see that the church in America has become a stench?
Can you not hear the Spirit of the Lord?
"And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful
and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:
'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were
cold or hot. 'So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will
spit you out of My mouth.
'Because you say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of
nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor
and blind and naked.
I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich,
and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your
nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you
may see.
'Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; be zealous therefore, and
repent. 'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and
opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with
Me.
'He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as
I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' "
If you know the true Lord Jesus; if your spirit is vexed by the evil of the
land and the church; I say to you: let us gird up our loins, cast off the
harlot, and return to the Lord. Let us confess we have taken foreign wives
and worshiped at the altars of strange gods. Let us confess we have loved
the world and the things of the world. Let us confess we have set up idols
in our hearts. Let us repent and return to the Lord Jesus and He will
return to us. Let us weep and mourn until we are willing to shake of the
dust of Babylon, give up all our possessions, be stripped of our filthy
rags, and be clothed in the garments of the Bride of Christ.
