In Numbers 14:22, God complained against the people of Israel that murmured against God, refusing to enter the Promised Land, and had tempted God and ignored His voice 10 times.
[Num 14:22 KJV] "22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;"
God's punishment for the Israelites was to banish them from the Promised Land for 40 years, and everybody aged 20 & above would die in the wilderness, then God would lead the remnant children back to the Promised Land.
In baseball, it's "three strikes, you're out".
God seems to have a longer fuse, withstanding 10 strikes before bringing judgment.
How many strikes has the USA, God's new Promised Land, inflicted against God since 1776?
USA's Strikes Against God
- Separation of Church & State
- Slavery permitted
- Pornography industry permitted
- War for Profit
- Abortion Law struck down by Roe vs. Wade
- Gay Marriage, LGBTQ+ rights approved
- Deep State & govermental corruption
- Blind eye towards sex slavery, child exploitation
- State laws permit abortion up to birth.
Is the 10th incident outside the Courthouse, demonstrators for Lindsay with signs:
ReplyDelete“Justice for Lindsay,” “Peace for Lindsay” and “She needed help"
but silent acceptance of her killing her three innocent children.

A great lack of prayer, no personal relationship with Him and obedience to His Word, which fosters self-sufficiency, arrogance towards Him, His spiritual laws, and sin. A 10th Point?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne, I think you are correct.
DeleteOnly 0.5% of US Christians are Born Again, with a deep, intimate, lovingly obedient relationship with Jesus Christ as their God, LORD, Messiah, Saviour, King, and friend.
The other 99.5% of US Christians are luke-warm &/or pseudo Christians believing in cultish non-biblical doctrine, hypocrites, self-righteous, &/or wolves in sheep's clothing.
For example:
5% pray continuously (5 or more times per day). SIN
6% believe sex outside of traditional marriage is ok. SIN, FALSE
9% believe abortion is ok. SIN, FALSE
43% affirmed that “Jesus was a great teacher, but he was not God,” FALSE, SIN
53% of Christians believe that the Bible “is not literally true”. SIN, FALSE
56% of Christians affirmed that “God accepts the worship of all religions, including Christianity, Judaism and Islam.” FALSE
57% agreed that “Everyone sins a little, but most people are good by nature.” FALSE
60% of Christians believe that “The Holy Spirit is a force but is not a personal being.” SIN, FALSE
73% agreed with the statement that “Jesus is the first and greatest being created by God.” SIN, FALSE

And
The American Worldview Inventory (AWVI) 2026, managed by George Barna at the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University (formerly often associated with ACFI), shows only 4% of U.S. adults hold a biblical worldview. Despite 71% of Americans believing in spiritual authorities, only 6% of Christians and 4% of Americans follow biblical principles.
And
A 2022 survey was conducted by the Cultural Research Centre at Arizona Christian University on the beliefs of individual churches on their basic Christian doxology (eg. Did Jesus lead a sinless life?).
Only 30% of churches (100,000) have s Biblical world view.
Of those 100,000 churches whose doctrine follows the Bible, only 2% (2,000) of them are teaching their congregations on these fundamental principles of Christianity.
2% of 30% is just 0.6% of all churches in USA, who both believe & teach the Bible. The rest are afraid to offend their congregation, &/or their local community.

OK, you're right, Suzanne, we've got our 10, we're ready for judgment.
