EVEN SO COME QUICKLY

2Ch 7:14 If Gods people, which are called by HIS name, will humble ourselves, and pray, and seek HIS face, and turn from our wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2Ch 7:15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 2Ch 7:16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 2Ch 7:17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; 2Ch 7:18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. 2Ch 7:19 But if we turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 2Ch 7:20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 2Ch 7:21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house? 2Ch 7:22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of England and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon us..

Dan 9:3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: Dan 9:4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; Dan 9:5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: Dan 9:6 Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. Dan 9:7 O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. Dan 9:8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. Dan 9:9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; Dan 9:10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. Dan 9:11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. Dan 9:12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. Dan 9:13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. Dan 9:14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice. Dan 9:15 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of England with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. Dan 9:16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy nation America, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, America and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us. Dan 9:17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. Dan 9:18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. Dan 9:19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. Amen, and Amen

Most gracious Father and Creator Jesus, I pray for this nation which You have protected through centuries of time; Please hear these words and speak to us, Your people, Your children. Cause us to repent, cause us to pray, and cause us to seek Your face; cause us to make a sincere effort to try to love You as You deserve to be loved. We are a wicked and perverse generation; possibly because You gave us so much as a nation. I pray that You will cause us to honor You By treating our neighbors as You told us when You were with us in What we call the holy land, Cause us to love each other as You said we should. We see the wickedness of those who are crucifying your children; we know they did that to You also, many years ago. I pray you will keep them spiritually safe as time moves on. I have no idea what our brothers and sisters will go through, but I pray they will feel the blessings and peace only You can give, and I ask; even so; come quickly.

I think when Scripture says “My people” it means HIS people, and since America was protected by God for so many years ... it means what it means as His people.
I did a thanksgiving post a couple yre ago and madified it a little but it still means much the same. I’ll find it...

I wrote this on

Today is THANKS GIVING DAY, November 25, 2010
and Thanksgiving is almost here tomorrow
and I am thankful for the nation I live in.
I am thankful that we can still do what Dr Martin Luther King did, I only wish he had lived to see how we are progressing toward his dream. We are not there yet, but we are on the way.
Yes, I am thankful that GOD is as forgiving as HE is.
He forgave me of much; a great deal of SIN!
When I started, I thought I was a goody-two-shoe. I wasn’t
I was despicable!
Then, after almost 30 years,(1969) GOD saved me.
Then I found that my thoughts were getting rather conservative, and clean.
Now, I find that I want to do something good for the country that I live in, the one I was born into. HE could have had me born to a communist, or a Muslim nation or a woman in a Muslim country.
But HE gave me grace instead.
Others created my country. And when I realize the blood sweat and grief that went into creating this country; WOW!
This nation was created with the help of GOD. How else can it be! Can you see HIS hand in that?
Our forefathers fought against one of the greatest and strongest nations in the known world; and WON!
Then, again I believe with the help of GOD, we fought a war against ourselves; brother against brother; son against father in what is called a CIVIL WAR, which IF the south had won; we would be speaking a different language. Think on that! These are facts:
Again, approaching the twentieth century we were in another two wars.
Both of these latter wars were against the Germans.
The second one, they were allied with the Japanese.
You can say what you want; HE was with us.
Even the secular people will have to agree, there were so many coincidences, and they could not have all been coincidences.
Consider; General Patten asked his Chaplain to write a prayer for him as he was socked in with a pea soup fog and could not get the planes off to fight.
The Chaplain wrote, Gen Patten prayed and the events moved in the battle to win that battle.
Can we say that today? Will HE be willing to save us from what we are facing today? Evil is in high places; homosexuals in high places running our military.
We have another time when we need Spiritual help; will HE be with us? Well, we need HIS help now, for sure.
I think HE left Scriptural Prophecy in such a way for U.S. to have a choice to do something about it.
I wonder are we seeing the hand of GOD in the next phase of HIS story?
After WWII, what started happening? Did we start kicking GOD out of the public sector? Korea; what happened in that country? Was there something HE wants us to not do? How about Viet Nam? Or maybe it could possibly be …something of the unions we are involved with? Like the United Nations? Even our money…and now we have a problem with our politics…we are not calling for the crucifixions to stop.

You see I do not see anything about America there;
I see Russia (Magog), I see Israel (Israel), I see the East (China, with trouble on the horizon) I see the Med, Look in Daniel and Revelation, See?
I think HE left something for U.S. to fight for as well. HE protected U.S. for hundreds of years; I just KNOW He is going to help.
I am grateful that HE allowed me to live and be born here, at the close of the age when I will hear HIM call COME UP HERE!

That is when you start to understand Christianity, but then it will be too late!
To whom much is given, much is required; that is us! We were living large in America.

I think HE has placed U.S. in THIS position to say
I am here for such a time as this! I think HE has given U.S. this bastion of freedom to fight for so the persecuted can have somewhere to run to? But there may be a price we do not want to pay. My question is; can we do it? Will we do it? The youth of America has to do it; I’m too old. I can only advise.

[ Who is the author? ]

Of the words I quoted?.. Matthew the Apostle I suppose wrote it.. he quoted JESUS..
I quoted Matthew that was quoting Jesus..
Matthew is the author.. that was quoting Jesus..

I tend to think his words are axiomatic not just a suggestion..
Who knows maybe you know more than him..

But you don’t seem that smart.. I could be WRONG!..
After all he got hisself crucified.. but I don’t hold that against him..
The Jewish HoodRats connived the Roman beasts into doing the deed....

If I am wrong go into your closet and find out.. but there is a boatload of “suggestions” Jesus made in the previous chapter.. In the closet take a nice Reisling(wine) and share it with the Holy Spirit.. You may make a new friend...

I love my invisible friend.. he can be quite humorous as well..
Its a good thing when two old or new friends come together..
