Warning From Kings!

Is this also a warning for America?

“16 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu son of Hanani concerning Baasha: ² “I lifted you up from the dust and appointed you ruler over my people Israel, but you followed the ways of Jeroboam and caused my people Israel to sin and to arouse my anger by their sins. ³ So I am about to wipe out Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat. ⁴ Dogs will eat those belonging to Baasha who die in the city, and birds will feed on those who die in the country.”

“⁵ As for the other events of Baasha’s reign, what he did and his achievements, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? ⁶ Baasha rested with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah. And Elah his son succeeded him as king.”

^“7 Moreover, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani to Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger by the things he did, becoming like the house of Jeroboam—and also because he destroyed it.”-1 Kings 16:1-7

Baasha was the third king of Israel.  Although God had greatly Blessed him, he rejected God and led people away from God.  He also led them to worship other idols.  He led the people of Israel to sin against God; his evil was great.

Because of this, God took his “prosperity” away. His dynasty was ultimately destroyed and his son was assassinated.

Clearly, rejecting God did not go well for him!

Now flash forward to America today.  Has our nation been greatly Blessed and yet rejected the God who gave us such great Blessings?  Have our leaders led many in America to sin against God.

You decide.  It’s a choice given to you by God Himself ?.  But be aware, choices always have consequences.
