¿THE UNITED STATES IS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY?

"For those who dwelt downing instead sublime, humiliating the city exalted the humble to the land, the demolition until the dust." (Isaiah 26.5)

Since a while back that the problems facing the United States are transforming the country from being a world power to show situations as a third world country. These are your problems:

In the U.S. there is so much corruption in private and state officials in a third world country. There are so many violations of human rights (abortions, racism, exploitation of immigrants, etc..) In a third world country.

There are so many mafia, crime and drug trafficking as a third world country.

There's so much unemployment and poverty in a third world country.

There is so much inequality between rich and poor in the Third World.

There is so much inflation in the third world.

There are so many borrowers in the third world.

There are so many bad governments in the Third World.

There is so much pollution and garbage in the third world.

There is so much impunity and injustice in the world.

There is so much promiscuity and prostitution in the third world.

There is so much waste of resources as in the third world.

There are both religious and a third world country.

If this situation continues, the American people got used to living like people in the Third World.

GLACIATION OF CHRISTIANITY

"And because wickedness increased, the love of many cooling. But he that endure to the end will be saved. "(Matthew 24,12-13)

Glaciation, is a term that refers to a geological period characterized by the cooling of the earth, during which the ice glaciers cover large tracts of land beyond the alpine and polar regions.

But the ice is not only in geological terms but also in spiritual terms, ie a form of spiritual Christianity globally suffering from one of the largest that has been cooling since the appearance of the church 2000 years ago.

This cooling is the low temperatures reached by the Christian faith to the point there is no difference between the believer and the unconverted. Both are frozen spiritually. Not only that, many places and nations that were considered bastions of Christianity and missionary active today are so icy that they are becoming major cemeteries to Christianity.

But this is not a new ice age. Christianity had already suffered other glaciations.

The first occurred when Vivian apostles themselves grappling with the permissiveness in their churches. (Revelation 3,15-16) .

The second occurred when Emperor Constantine declared Christianity as its official religion, combining pagan with rioja rioja Christian.

The third occurred at the beginning of the Crusades and the corruption of Catholicism in the Middle Ages.

The fourth and last originate after the two world wars that marked the final decline of Christianity, something that until now and is continuing acceleration. The last glaciation is referred to the Lord Jesus in Matthew 24.12.

What is causing this cooling of the Christian faith? The Lord Jesus Christ provides the answer: the increase of wickedness.

This evil is the cause of all the Christian glaciations. An evil that is penetrating the churches and that cools the believers' faith, leading to the final cooling is apostasy.

It is necessary to combat this evil, to fuel our faith in the heat of the spirit and the Word of God and if possible make that faith in Christ is not the privilege of a few.

THE BIBLIE AND INFLATION

"When we opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And look, and behold a black horse, and it had a balance in the hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying: Two pounds of wheat for a penny, and six pounds of barley for a penny, but not harm oil and wine. "(Revelation 6,5-6 )

Today the nations of the world are being shaken by an economic phenomenon called inflation, which is nothing but the excessive rise in prices of all products, goods and raw materials. When this permanent increase in inflation that could lead to a nation to a state of economic crisis would be reflected in the decline of production, rising unemployment and the cost of food, thus harming the economy of the population.

The globalized world in which we live has made the economies of different nations are interwoven and dependent on one another, and therefore, if a nation is affected by serious inflation then other nations will also be affected. However, inflation is not an evil of modern societies, in contrast, is as old as the Pandora's box. Empires of antiquity were also affected by the phenomenon of inflation, only that this was not so registered number but if it was registered in historical events. As the great empires of Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, Greece and the Roman Empire did not escape the phenomenon of inflation.

In the BIBLE are some facts which showed that inflation was high in the realms of the Old Testament. For example, in the 2nd. 6.25 Reyes is a hyper-inflation that happened on Samaria in times of the prophet Elisha. The king of Syria Samaria site for several years resulting in famine and food shortage to the point that "the head of an ass was sold for 80 pieces of silver." Of course it was not always this table. There are also times of economic boom as in the times of King Solomon in Israel where the economy was thriving, but the following generations of kings lack wisdom to handle the economy, led to the division of the kingdom and the economic collapse. In the New Testament are also some evidence that high inflation. Matthew 20,1-7 Lord Jesus talking about the parable of the workers, described in this story to several groups of workers who were "unemployed" in the square without work. If we believe that what God says is true, then unemployment was a constant time and this is indicative of high inflation. There are other indicators such as the mention of many poor people (John 12.8), people in debt (Matthew 18,32-34), high taxes (Matthew 17,24-27) of expensive goods (Mark 14.3) land and depreciated (Matthew 27,4-7), indicators suggest that the economy of Palestine time the Lord was in chaos. But, how people facing inflation this time? Perhaps an important fact is found in Acts of the Apostles 4,34-35, which notes that Christians then sold their homes or inheritance and the selling price of what it gave to the apostles to distribute them among the most needy.

It is likely that Christians are clustered in communities where everyone shared common work, common entrance and common foods. In this way the impact of the economic crisis is mitigated somewhat, but also thrived as to the entire community. Via Appia in Rome is an example of a thriving community of Christians who were protected from inflation, but not for the persecution. Twenty centuries have passed, and inflation remains, niguna nation or kingdom has been sacarselo off because inflation is a disease of the economies of all time.

Perhaps it could be measured and controlled, might be reduced or frozen, but the child neglect inflation jump out of a horse, willing to trample the most prosperous nations on earth. Inflation is the horse that God has chosen to shake nations.

FROM OUR READERS...

Pastor Dave Moorhead of the United States wrote his appreciation in his blog: / / shilohguy.blogspot.com on VOICE OF THE PROPHET.

You may know their articles of Pastor Dave.

If you. want us to comment THE VOICE OF THE PROPHET. God bless you.

I do not know Pastor Luis Delgado and he does not know me. He is a pastor in Lima, Peru.

He did not comment on my post. Rather, I put up one of his own posts from his own blog. I suspect he was fishing and found me. So I went to look at his blog and I would recommend any readers of The Shiloh Guy to do the same for several reasons.

It is interesting to see what people from other countries think of the United States. Luis obviously has a rather negative view of our country and our churches. He is certain that God is Punishing the arrogance of the American church and state it very clearly.

It is also interesting to see how culture tends to effect the interpretation of scripture. You see can from Luis' Perspective how he reads it differently from us.

His comments on unity are thought provoking. The church is one. We know that. We have enough trouble trying to become one with another one here in the USA, how will we ever become one with churches in Peru and around the world? We have a lot of work to do to break down the walls of separation within the kingdom of God!

Go ahead! Check out Luis' blog! It's a great cross and experience may get you thinking about things you've not considered before. I'll be going back there again, to be sure!

THE UNITY OF GOD

"The glory that you gave me, I have given, to be one, as we are one. I in them, and you in me to be perfect in Unity, for the world to get from you sent me, and that you loved them as I too have loved you "(John 17,22-23)

Unity is one of the most valuable and beautiful ideas which are highlighted in the Scriptures. Appears implicit in the moment of creation when God begins to order selection, beauty, diversity, and life to things. Because the creation reflects the Unity of God.

Even the participation of the Triune God reflected Unit, when God uses the plural word "make man in our image, after our likeness" (Gn.1, 26). But the Unity of God is the one element that permeates so also in the man that he is "image of God" (Gn.1, 27). That is, does that image fit the man to be in unity with God, that God speaks to this subject and to God.

But God added a second unit in the form of a man and a bookshop in this loneliness. God created women to be both close to varon "one flesh" (Gn.2, 24). In this way there was a paradise in the perfect unity of man with God and of man with his wife (his neighbor).

Perhaps for this reason it is emphasized that the Lord Jesus as the great commandment to love God and love of neighbor (Matthew 22,36-40). The tragedy begins when these two types of unit were desecrated following the fall of man in sin. And because of sin by the idea of "unity" turns off the conscience of man. From here, the history of humanity is darkened in a series of events that make the man on a destroyer of all forms of unity. Despite the darkness that gripped humanity, God irradio again the idea of unity in some people such as Noah, Moses, Josue, David, Elias, and so on. However, obscurantism prevalecia more in the heart of man. But God had already devised a way in which the unit is made permanent, and did so with the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ in human history. So that the Lord Jesus becomes an example of "Unity incarnate," the example of the true man of God united in perfect shape. Jesus is the light of unity that could remove the humanity from the darkness. But as the Unity of God aims to link back to men with their Creator, the unit has been, is and always will be the subject of relentless attack spiritual and earthly forces that oppose it. The Lord Jesus Christ suffered these attacks. His death apparently seems to be the triumph of the opposing forces on the Unity of God, but the resurrection of the Lord Jesus speaks more to the defeat of these forces and the resurrection of the Unit. From here the Unity of God begins to take effect on the fragile minds of men guided by the Holy Spirit, and takes its group with the appearance of the Church of Christ. Finally, the apocalypse describes the ultimate triumph of the Unity of God over all the opposing forces, and the exaltation of that unit that has always existed in eternity: God and the Lamb (Revelation 22:1). It also presents the final work of God on the conscience of man to forge unity in the idea of permanently improved over humanity (the sons of God).

No doubt that anything exists, the unit is the most glorious God who has witnessed the man because the unit is not only an idea but an attribute of God and that He would like to share with their sons.

POLITICAL FROM GOD

Probably for many Christians is a political area as pernicious and bad tend to think that is something completely mundane, but it is not. In fact the political is an area created by God so that man can manage your life. If today we see that politics in the world is dirty and evil is because man has fallen ill created all things and all the systems created by God and each other's political. But the political, initially been designed by God to Adam and Eve in the exercise its clean state before the fall. In fact, God politics practiced there in their glory because of the politics of God gives way to the Kingdom. When speaking of a "King" is applying a political, not religious, or when speaking of a "Kingdom" is a political term, and the same applies when speaking of "Laws" or "mandates . All these political terms contained in the Bible. We can then say that the policy ¨ God is clearly expressed in the writings. Law, Justice, Liberty, Equality, etc., are ideas that are expressed continuously in politics but these ideas receive the most words when they are linked to God and not man. The Lord Jesus Christ is the best political of all time because "good news" that contain preach "politics of God to man," a political that the politicians of his time (as King Herod, or Pilate) not liking. But his political message and continued were it not for that message many governments and constitutions in the world would not exist. I personally believe that Christians should participate in politics for the purpose of influencing the politics of this world with the political of God.

THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE FOR OBAMA

For many people the day January 20, 2009, date on which Mr. Barack Obama assumes the presidency of the United States, becomes an historic day. It is the first time an African-American becomes the leader of one of the most powerful nation in the world.
A crowd of people were present to see Mr. Obama assume the presidency, perhaps motivated by seeing the man who fed hopes of a nation immersed in a strong moral and economic depression.
Pastor Rick Warren began the ceremony with a prayer that really leave much to be desired. But with more gold inspiracion who was an elderly friend Reverend Luther King and who won the embrace of the president.
The new president's speech was very realistic but little motivator, something overshadowed by the cold of minus 6 degrees and the nuance that Hollywood was given to the act. However, it was clear to see there faces as well as cheerful and enthusiastic, also faces serious surrounding the president Obama.
One such face is that of former president George Bush, representing the major groups in power, and that will be closely watching Obama's intentions.
Another of the faces in the government of Israel, who is not looking to grace a descendant of the Muslim as president.
Other faces are the rulers of Arab nations, which do not look at Obama as an ally for them.
As finishing touch, faces no shortage of traditional segregationist groups, who are offended to hear that the same God in the eyes of whites and blacks.
Undoubtedly, the president Barack Obama is sitting in a chair where the sword of Damocles hanging over his head.


I hope that the Christian churches in the United States not cease to pray for their president for the American people and themselves.

READERS WRITE US ..

Pastor Mark of the United States wrote his commentary on the article: The punishment of the arrogance of the U.S..

If you want to add a comment to write this blog. God bless you.

I received a comment from Luis, a pastor in Peru. I would like to address two of Louis' statements. [You full can see his comment under the posting 1/9/2009.]

Luis writes,

"During these last several weeks have been negative news to shake the United States. The material that caused the disaster Hurricane" Ike "in Texas, the collision of two trains occurred in Los Angeles where 10 people died, the financial crisis that is leading to bankruptcy for large companies like Leman Brothers and others, the crisis that still inmobibliaria Enduro, high inflation and Mismanagement of course that President Bush has given the nation, all these things could be classed as "shock" the pride of the American people used to live in waste and wantonness. And if they join the thousands who died from the attack on the twin towers, or more than a thousand people died from Hurricane Katrina, or the moral degradation that is coming to American society. lugubre All this evidence that the scenario today the United States. " I do not doubt that God brings judgment upon people and nations. There is plenty of Scripture to validate this idea. However, as observers, we must be careful in labeling events around us as God's wrath. Weather wrecks havoc, people get hurt, some even die. Accidents, like train wrecks occur, and terrorists attack. However, that does not indicate judgment. Luke 13:1-5 and John 9:1-3 teach us to be careful in our evaluation of events. What may seem like God's judgment can be something all together different. In the end, the greater thing is for an event, such as Katrina or the Twin Towers, to glorify God. When we look at the inadequacy of mankind and the evil of the same, we should see the infinite glory of God and celebrate it.

Luis also wrote;

"The true Christian churches in this country should check the distance in a very clear and with more strength to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to avoid being influenced by the Prevailing darkness in this nation. A dark and that is affecting many countries." I have to agree with Luis, that the church needs to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. Whether the U.S. prospers or falls, the church has a mandate, to proclaim the gospel and to make disciples (See Luke 24:45-48 and Matthew 28:19-20). It is only the gospel that saves (Romans 1:16). And when the church loses its focus, not making the sharing of God's salvation through Jesus only, they end up fighting windmills, and accomplishing nothing of eternal value.God bless you Luis. Keep focused on the good news of Jesus Christ.

Go and make disciples and leave the wrath of God to God.

-Mark

MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS OF ISRAEL

The government of Israel has declared a ceasefire on the Gaza Strip which it claims "has succeeded in achieving the goals and even more." In my view if you believe that Israel has achieved its objectives which are:
1. Has managed to kill about 300 Palestinian children, making the Israeli government a "great infanticide," and a worthy descendant of King Herod.
2. Has been able to experiment with efficient chemical weapons such as white phosphorous on the Palestinian population, which makes it an excellent manufacturer of weapons of mass destruction.
3. Has achieved a greater awakening of Palestinian hatred towards the people of Israel, which will make the Jewish community and their families feel more unsafe to live in Israel.
4. Has achieved a temporary peace and misleading, because the Palestinian people to return to power and their stingers inflingira on Israel.
5. Desmostrar has achieved the world that has a very dissuasive armed force as a deterrent that is capable of destroying hospitals filled with wounded people, and buildings of the UN .
6. Has succeeded in proving that the Israeli government is a dictatorial government lined the facade of democracy. Inclined to exercise repression against its own people as it demonstrated to the media in his country and denying them information.
7. Has managed to turn the Gaza Strip in the largest ghetto in the most outrageous dungeon for Arabs, as prestigious as the basis of Guantamo.
No doubt that if the objectives were achieved.

Is God to guide ISRAEL?

"What then? What Israel wanted, it has not achieved, but if you have chosen reached, and the rest were hardened; written like this: God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes not see and ears that hear not, to this day. "(Romans 11,7-8).

In three weeks of the conflict between Israel and Gaza, the balance of this war is 1000 Palestinians killed and more than 4700 injured. On the Israeli side is only 4 reported dead. The inhumanely as Israel is driving the conflict suggests that if God truly guide Israel in this war. The death of many innocent people, the application of chemical weapons such as white phosphorus on the Palestinian population, puerile justification given by the secular government of Israel to attack Gaza, the denial of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, banning the media communication in the world to report from Gaza, and the misleading propaganda that shows the conflict on Israel, shows that is not the God of peace that guides the secular government of Israel, but the god of war. Poor people would do the Christian churches in the world parcializarse with an anti-government leanings clear, and probably do not respect the lives of the Christians themselves. Christian churches must make a clear distinction between what is the secular government of Israel (who deserves our condemnation of the atrocities that does), and the people of Israel (who deserves OUR continuous prayer for salvation), including the Palestinian people. It seems that the Egyptian spirit, oppressive and cruel, was leading the government of Israel, and the spirit of the Jewish people were distressed about the Palestinians. Not all Jews are God's pleasure. Not all Arabs will be condemned by God. When the Bible says: "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem" (Psalm 122.6), refers to the present Jerusalem, where Jews live as Arabs and Christians. "What then? What Israel wanted, it has not achieved, but if you have chosen reached, and the rest were hardened; written like this: God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes not see and ears that hear not, to this day. "(Romans 11,7-8. In three weeks of the conflict between Israel and Gaza, the balance of this war is 1000 Palestinians killed and more than 4700 injured. On the Israeli side is only 4 reported dead.

THE ERROR OF ISRAEL

"And if not echareis the inhabitants of the country before you, that happen to them will leave by stingers in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and you afligiran on earth where you dwell." (Number 33 , 55)

Several weeks have passed since the war began between Israel and Gaza, and this conflict has taken a macabre tone. More than 500 dead and almost 3000 injured, the balance is all Palestinians out of this confrontation. The government of Israel maintains that only wants to eliminate the terrorist bases of Hamas, but its attack on Gaza led to the deaths of too many innocent people, including many children. Meanwhile, the Palestinians have threatened to seize Israeli soldiers occupying Gaza. It seems that the crisis between Israel and Gaza for a while. However, very apart from Gaza if he deserves this punishment for having provoked Israel, I think personally that the government of Israel continues to commit the mistake of stepping on the stick ", ie to act with greater violence of their acting enemies. It seems that the trauma suffered by the extermination of Jews by the Nazis has been soaked in the personality of the Jewish present, because the armed forces of Israel will not hesitate to act with cruelty and brutality against their aggressors. Such actions are likely to lead to a greater degree of anger. The Lord Jesus Christ seeing the error of the violence said to Peter: "Return your sword to its place, because all those who take the sword, die by the sword" (Matthew 26.52). So the sword that the Israeli government implements can have a double-edged sword against Israel. But also, a wrong attitude of the government of Israel is to think that peace is achieved when desaparesca the danger of terrorism. The truth is that Israel will never be rid of Hamas or the Palestinians, because Biblically speaking, the Palestinians are "stingers and bones" that Israel afligiran forever. If war is the path chosen by the government of Israel to find their peace, it never reaches.

The punishment of the arrogance of the U.S.

"And with a claimed strong voice, saying," Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great room and has become the den of demons and evil spirit throughout, and shelter for all unclean and hateful bird. Because all nations have drunk the wine of the wrath of fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury. "(Revelation 18,2-3) During these last several weeks have been negative news to shake the United States. The material that caused the disaster Hurricane "Ike" in Texas, the collision of two trains occurred in Los Angeles where 10 people died, the financial crisis that is leading to bankruptcy for large companies like Leman Brothers and others, the crisis that still inmobibliaria endures, high inflation and mismanagement of course that President Bush has given the nation, all these things could be classed as "shock" the pride of the American people used to live in waste and wantonness. And if they join the thousands who died from the attack on the twin towers, or more than a thousand people died from Hurricane Katrina, or the moral degradation that is coming to American society. All this evidence lugubre the scenario that today the United States. The next president to be elected may not change much this negative reality. But the Evangelical Church in the United States can not do something to change this, but even when these churches seem more concerned about their property and political alliances that change the poor spiritual reality in the United States. This nation for many years has shown hostility to Latino immigrants who enter the country, and warfare with other Arab countries especially. The administration of President Bush is leading the U.S. confrontation with the world, and probably also look to do with God. The methods used by the anti-American government and also its people's traditional generosity desdicen previously demonstrated the United States, but now seems to show much pride and arrogance. Of course one can not generalize to all people. However, the beating that this nation is experiencing both economic and climatic are a clear warning from God that the United States correcting their wrong policies that have for the world. Otherwise it is likely that in a short time will get from the trial of God over this nation as it sobrevinieron to other countries such as China or Burma. The true Christian churches in this country should check the distance in a very clear and with more strength to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to avoid being influenced by the prevailing darkness in this nation. A dark and that is affecting many countries. It is time we hear the voice from heaven speaks to our conscience by saying: "Come out of her, my people, so do not be partakers of her sins, and receive of her plagues, for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities. "(Revelation 18,4-5)
