Never thought I’d be publicly agreeing with (the) Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but in this instance I believe he is correct. The two fiascos (alone) we have witnessed in Washington DC the past couple weeks prove his point.
‘Isn’t this the ultimate degree of the collapse of political ethics and the U.S. system’s internal disintegration?’ the Iranian leader said.
Iran‘s supreme leader said Thursday that a letter from Republican lawmakers warning that any nuclear deal could be scrapped by the next U.S. president is a sign of “disintegration” in Washington.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called the letter a sign of “the collapse of political ethics and the U.S. system’s internal disintegration,” according to the official IRNA news agency. It was the first reaction to the letter by Khamenei, who has the final say over all major policies.
Khamenei said states typically remain loyal to their commitments even if governments change, ” but American senators officially announced the commitment will be null and void after this government leaves office. Isn’t this the ultimate degree of the collapse of political ethics and the U.S. system’s internal disintegration?”

Anyone who reads here knows I believe we are seeing God’s judgment upon this Nation. There can be no other explanation for the obvious desire by many of our elected officials to destroy this Nation, and their actions to ensure this comes about.

It’s a well-deserved judgment, but contemplating such an aftermath is frightening. Border conflicts, resource-pillaging, confederate conglomerations trying to absorb eachother, followed by calling upon foreign intervention, foreign machinations to secure markets etc etc. and these are just off the top of my head.
My hope is that the US will be able to disestablish in a way that the UK did when, through the 60s-80s cut off most of its empire. And even that was hellish for the people who suffered in the former colonies (native and foreigner alike).
One day Rome will burn, and it will be a day both to rejoice and to cry. Another Babylon has fallen, but so much death and pain to follow. 😦
These are strange days ahead.

Cal, i totally agree. There are indeed strange days ahead.

I want to add a perspective here about “judgment”. Let’s consider the present state of Israel and consider that they are the “object” lesson for every other nation on earth which they were in the Old Testament. If God is the same yesterday, today and forever, what is happening to Israel today in light of the verses of Scripture I will open up will happen to the United States and Iran and and and, you just name any nation today.
A friend made the following comment after hearing that the Presbyterian Church of the United States [PCUSA] just voted to change their internal document on the issue of marriage tradition. It was before this change according to the Westminster Standard of Faith that says marriage is between one man and one woman. They now have changed it to read between one person and one person thus opening up the doors for gays and lesbians to be married in their churches. You have heard that present day Israel is in agreement with this movement, the LGBT minority that seems to be sweeping up recognition and readily being accepted by the world :
// God does not adjust Himself to us.//
Here’s an interesting verse that tends to confirm that:::>
Exo 34:24 For I will cast out nations before you and enlarge your borders; no one shall covet your land, when you go up to appear before the LORD your God three times in the year.
Sadly today, present day Israel is heading in the same direction as the PCUSA! Homosexual rights are gaining ground and being established in Israel today.
Notice what is being conveyed in that verse? NO ONE SHALL COVET YOUR LAND, WHEN YOU GO UP TO APPEAR BEFORE THE LORD!
Just think about how many religious groups are coveting the land today not to mention the Palestinians and other Arab groups, including Iran?
Consider these Words which ironically go against present day Israel, too:::>
Lev 18:20 And you shall not lie sexually with your neighbor’s wife and so make yourself unclean with her.
Lev 18:21 You shall not give any of your children to offer them to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
Lev 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Lev 18:23 And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion.
Lev 18:24 “Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean,
Lev 18:25 and the land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
Lev 18:26 But you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you
Lev 18:27 (for the people of the land, who were before you, did all of these abominations, so that the land became unclean),
Lev 18:28 lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
You would think a nation who claims to be named after their Patriarch Jacob/Israel would at least attempt to conform to the teachings that were the framework for that ancient nation coming into being?
And let me emphasize one part of those verses, verse 24.
Right now, what’s going on in present day Israel? Nations and religious groups are all “invading” and vying for or wanting to set up their own government or religious practice to be established in the Promised Land. God according to verse 24 was saying “WHY” He was driving out of that land those nations and giving it to Israel! Notice also verse 26 the inclusiveness of the “native or the stranger” who sojourns among you.
If you go to CSPAN and their archives and pull up the speech of now the current newly elected Prime Minister of Israel, you will hear him speaking recently to the U.S. Congress saying just the opposite to verses 24 and 26, then declare his people are the people of God and a friend and strong ally of the United States. Hmmmmmm!
I’m of the opinion the nation of Israel is just another heathen nation today and as Franklin Graham said when asked about the turn of events within the PCUSA about marriage equality, // Anything else is a sin against God, and He will judge all sin one day.// the whole world is nearing the final judgment on the great day of the Lord’s return.
Contrary to that fact, this promise still holds true for the TRUE ISRAEL of God made up of both Jews and Greeks and everyone of any other ethnic group God has elected and set apart for Himself on earth by justification through Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and, now being set apart, enters into a lifestyle of sanctification:::>
Psa 33:16 The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
Psa 33:17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue.
Psa 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,
Psa 33:19 that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.
Psa 33:20 Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
Psa 33:21 For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.
Psa 33:22 Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
The real irony here is the fact that the Lord and two Angels showed up at Abraham’s tent unannounced and they were on a mission to go down and wipe off the face of the earth Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding nations equally engaged in such human depravity.
And why?
Gen 18:20 Then the LORD said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave,
Gen 18:21 I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not, I will know.”
I think it’s about time we start taking God at His Word profoundly and soberly seeing:
// God does not adjust Himself to us.//!!!!
But we have today a clarion call by Christian Zionists and Messianic Jews all clamouring for a need to support the Nation of Israel and why? They cite this as the reason why thinking if they just do that Israel will be fine in the last days:::>
Gen 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Makes no sense to me seeing God came to Abraham just before going to Sodom and Gomorrah and wiped those nations and the surrounding nations off the face of the earth with horrific judgments for doing what Israel and the rest of the world of nations is allowing all because it’s culturally and politically the correct thing to do!
Is this not the height of hypocrisy?
