Wasn’t God saying that to other people?

I don’t know if He will stand with a nation of abortuaries and glory holes.

Well, yes, the whole Bible was initially written to other nations and people, but I'm hoping it applies to us too.    :-)

And, remember, when God and Abraham were discussing Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham asked God if He would spare them if there were fifty righteous people there, then he worked it down to ten, and God still told Abraham that if He found ten righteous people there, He would not destroy it.

And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”

Abraham answered, “Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.   Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Wilt thou destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And he said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”

Again he spoke to him, and said, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.”

Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there.” He answered, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.”

He said, “Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.”

Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.”

And the Lord went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.     Genesis 18:26-33

(But I do believe that the USA is in for some severe forms of chastisement due to widespread abortion and the bizarre celebration of homosexuality, as Rev. Joseph Esper discusses in his new book", shown below.)
