America became abundant in economic trade and filled with violence.

Ezekiel 28:16

“By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God. And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones.” Ezekiel 28:16

God sees America as a profane thing, destroyed and cast out from the presence of His Holiness.

When economics (including the digital currency) become more important than Jesus Christ, then violence is bound to happen. This is an example of storing up worldly treasures instead of storing up treasures in heaven. The heart, spirit, and soul become preoccupied with prosperity and the peace given through the Holy Spirit is crowded out. That is what happened to America and explains the violence that plagues America today. Jesus Christ warned us about this, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

When the Holy Spirit is crowded out of this world then anti-social activity, lawlessness, and violence creeps in. The Holy Spirit is He who restrains lawlessness and when He is taken out of the way lawlessness appears, “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 Click here for a post on the “lawless one”.

America has been cast out like a profane thing from the Holy Mountain of God. “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully.” Psalms 24:3-5

America is not meeting the standards of clean hands and a pure heart. America’s hands are not clean, and a pure heart is not within her. The churches have tossed aside the gospel of Christ, government lawmakers no longer include Bible values in policies and laws, the educational system does not allow the teachings of the Bible in the classrooms, and Christianity is not welcomed in any sector of society. On top of that, America has given its soul to the idol that gives her what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through the masses of people within America. They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. America wears the fig leaf of humanism to cover their profanity to God. Click here for a post on the “Great Falling Away”.

America is no longer a protector of the righteousness and Holiness found in God. As individuals, we can be set apart from the broad way of mainstream society, we only need to believe in Jesus Christ and God considers us to be righteous, “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-33

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
