There are some incredible verses in Isaiah that remind us of the sins of America today. For example: Isaiah 5:11-14 and 22:12-13.
There are those who rise early in the morning and drink and "pursue strong drink, who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them! They party all night long, play music and do not pay attention to the deeds of the Lord, nor do they consider the work of His hands. My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge; and their honorable men are famished (morally and spiritually), their multitude are famished and they are parched with thirst (spiritually and morally). Therefore the grave is enlarged by its throat without measure."
Chapter 22 reads: "Instead there is gaiety and gladness, killing of cattle for banqueting, drinking of wine. And they say 'Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.' The Lord of hosts revealed Himself to me, 'Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven them.'"
So much of this reminds us of America. Watch what you see on TV. The above passages sound just like us today. We are on the slippery slide. There is no return. America will not turn back! -- Dr. Mal Couch (10/11)
