As the Mule is in Understanding so is America

By Dana G Smith

19:9  The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

10  More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11  Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12  Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

13  Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

14  Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Moreover, today, we have a society like America, where I and many others spend time warning the society and the church itself of coming judgment. Many in this country are typical of those found in the tenth Psalm, verse 4-8.

Psalms 10:4  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

5  His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

6  He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

7  His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

8  He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

9  He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

10  He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

11  He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

For those in America it is hard to think of themselves in terms of ‘wicked’ and ‘righteous’. As well, we have churches that are ‘true’ and those who are ‘profane’. The battle is heating up in this nation for the hearts of the true believer to stand fast as salt and light in a nation where idolatry and harlotry go hand in hand. We are not a nation under one God, but one nation of many people with many gods. This year of 2008 will see increasing judgments upon the nation we call America. America is a nation that was founded not by Muslims, Hindu’s, or other religion but by people who called upon the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob through Jesus Christ (Yeshu HaMassiach). No matter how much we want to become a unilateral and globalistic society in this nation, our roots and history will always be Judeo-Christian roots. No matter what men say, there were people who sought the God of heaven in this nation and truly wanted to do his will. Today, many of those former believers who stood fast for the Lord in this nation would not recognize our nation today. It is truly hedonistic and idolatrous.

The believer today will see a year in the church in America and the nation itself where the shaking of the Lord will increase in all areas. We will see the literal separating of the chaff from the wheat, that is, those who will seek God from those who will not. Many will see tremendous turmoil this year in their personal lives as they learn that the Lord is serious. Today the carnal church will experience part of this shaking as will the nation itself as God warns men and women everywhere to "be not as the horse or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee." For those, the only way to be delivered is by this shaking. Turning upside the lives they are living so they will seek the Lord with all their heart. Sadly many are like the mule and the horse. They too, need bits and bridles put there by the Lord himself to lead these people to safety out of the clutches of their own ignorance and folly. Such is the way of America today.

Partner with the Watchman to help Spread the Word!

Psalms 32:8  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

9  Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

10  Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.

11  Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

The Lord is asking followers today "Is this the year of your obedience to me?" Remember, the Lord will establish Zion and he will redeem Israel, he will rebuild that which is sacred, he does that which is written. For "thy Word O God, will never be moved". This is the year that you must realize that the Lord will soon "come with ten thousands, and thousands upon thousands, the fury of the Lord of Hosts upon the nations, for the wickedness that men do and will not repent of." This is the Lord, he is coming, and the question today is, "are you ready?"

This is the Lord:

He will nurture the bruised reed…

He will bring balm to heal those who are hurt…

He will show mercy to those who have called upon him…

That is those son’s who walk in His ways.

He will lift up the lowly.

He will seek out and repair the breech.

He is the Lord All Mighty.

He is the Lord, full of fury.

He will ignite the fields.

He will burn the chaff.

He will harvest the wheat.

This is the Lord.

Let the voices ring out.

Let them be warned.

Let the Watchmen declare the tidings.

Let me be reminded of Zion.

Let the Word go Forth.

Let the nations of men know this,

I AM the Lord, I will repay.

I AM the Lord; my Word has gone forth,

It shall do that which pleases me.

Let the Prophet declare.

Let the disciple walk in my way.

Let all mine elect know this,

I AM the Lord, I AM coming,

Watch and Pray,

Let them be warned.

Let the Word go forth.

I AM coming.

It is time,

Awaken, Awaken

Sleep not, nor be drunk.

America and the nations of men do not think the Lord is coming. Today, they are building their own world, one that does not include the Lord God. Psalm Two tells us of the rebellion in the last days. Those men and women, governments, princes, kings, and others who want to remove all vestiges of what the Lord requires of men who live on earth. These people want a kingdom of their own, walking in their own ways, far from the God of heaven. They think they will have it. Far from it, they will receive a ‘delusion’ and the ‘prince of delusions’. Through this son of Perdition, many will fall and not rise. America especially will fall hard. This land, just as Israel had done, experienced the true hand of the Lords blessings, and just like Israel, America has fallen away from the One True God. For this, heartache and misery shall come upon this land. There shall be no peace, saith my God to the wicked.

Will the Sons of Men Repent?

Will those who love iniquity continue?

Can you hear this, O man?

Will you Listen O daughter?

Do you know the God of Jacob?

Will your heart seek the Lord?

Yea, the people are foolish.

They trust in their Pride.

They seek after their own ways.

Nations rise and Fall.

Yet will you not understand?

Why do you refuse knowledge?

For the Holy One, even the Lord,

Yea, the righteous One calls to you.

Yet you do not listen.

For your own ways are important to you.

Your own devices, you will not let go.

So shall you be fed destruction,

You will be milked of your strengths,

As a kid sucks her mothers milk dry,

So shall all your goodness be removed.

In that day, desolation shall be your neighbor

In that day pride will be removed

In that day, you will know, it is I, The LORD God,

Yea, it is I, who has done these things.
