The Cross of Christ is the dividing line between the righteous and the unrighteous, between the deceitfully dark powers of evil and the liberating light of the Gospel, between the virtues of godly living and the unfettered lusts of corrupt, debased passions.
The wisdom and power of the Cross appears as more and more foolishness to those who suppress the truth and rebel against its claims.
Not long before Daniel was cast into the lion’s den by the Persian king Darius, he was called into the presence of the last Babylonian king, Belshazzar, after the king witnessed the fingers of a human hand writing on the wall in his palace.
This sudden, divine event occurred as the king and his court were reveling in debauchery and idolatry, drinking wine from the golden vessels that had been carried away by the Babylonians from the Jerusalem temple. As the king saw a hand writing on the wall of plaster, he instantly was alarmed and frightened.
Daniel interpreted the meaning of the strange inscription Belshazzar had seen, telling him that his kingdom was about to come to an end, that he had been weighed in God’s divine balance and found wanting, and that his vast kingdom would be handed over to a new world power, the Medes and Persians.
That very night, Belshazzar was killed and the Medes and Persians entered Babylon. I wonder if the handwriting is now on the wall for America. Has God decided that our idolatry, immorality and godlessness has become such a stench in His nostrils that we as a people will experience a harsh form of divine judgment?
Have our iniquities grown so foul and vast that we will reap the bitter harvest of our wickedness and rebellion against Almighty God? I don’t know the answer to that, but I do believe that God is able to restore and heal us if we repent of our sins—personal and corporate—and turn to Him in humility and reverence.
The Bible tells us that the Lord is patient toward us, “not willing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
We are a people and nation in imminent danger. We mock God, ridicule His Word and His ways, and flaunt gross
immorality.
Only Almighty God can deliver us, and it is our fervent prayer as we go across America in the months to come, that He will hear our prayers and heal our land.
He is our only hope.

The only One that can get us out of this mess and heal is God. This is the truth if it’s every been told! If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV) And truly our sins need to be forgiven and our land healed! Blessings and Peace!

The Wicked ones during these end-times are not aware that they are being tested. A great chastisement or the great tribulation is coming with judgement.
