Are we as a nation (UK) heading for conquest, just as the Jews in Lamentations 5 lost control of their nationhood, because they had forsaken GOD? This warning is for the UK — A Warning: An Echo from Lamentations :
From verse 1…
“Remember, O Lord, what has come upon us;
Look, and behold our reproach!
Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens,
And our houses to foreigners.
We have become orphans and waifs,
Our mothers are like widows.
We pay for the water we drink,
And our wood comes at a price.
They pursue at our heels;
We labor and have no rest.
We have given our hand to the Egyptians
And the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.” (Lamentations 5:1-6, esp. 5-6)
Britain is a Jewel… but why had it has lost it’s lustre?
Jeremiah warned the people
In his life, the prophet Jeremiah warned the people, the leaders and the public, of Judah’s downfall. But he was ignored. The result was the capture of the nation, the poverty and dispersal of its people, and the end of the Kingdom.
Why was the nation overcome? Because it forgot GOD.
Europe has forgotten GOD
Judeo-Christian values are at the root of European civilisation. With a turning from GOD, nation upon Western nation is now experiencing the latter stages of decline. It has been happening over decades. It is so apparent that the nations — who once worshipped the LORD of heaven an earth — have turned their backs on GOD, with the result being systematic failure.
As with Western Europe, this has descended upon the four nations of the United Kingdom.
Marxism, Communism and the USSR
At the early years of the 20th Century, Russia was regal and stunningly beautiful in its culture and creativity. Consider literature, theatre and music, and you can see the varied blessings on that nation. But the Tsar’s faith was in decline, his wife sought occult guidance, and ultimately, the nation fell to violent revolution, authoritarian and atheist belief, and individual and societal struggle ensued. Communism lasted for decades amidst financial collapse, poverty, injustice. People suffered because their king had forgotten his GOD.
Inheritance was “turned over to aliens”: houses were repossessed; individual freedom and liberty gave way to the authority of the State.
United Kingdom
Two centuries ago, the nation was hailed as Great Britain. It became a great empire because it ruled and trained its subjects in a legal system based upon Biblical truth. It sent out missionaries to preach the Gospel of Jesus, it built roads, schools and hospitals which serve the local people to this day. It was said, “the sun never sets in the British Empire” so vast was its extent.
A century ago, Britain fought two World Wars and defeated evil foe. The king called for prayer and the people prayed to their GOD. He cleared the pathway for victory against incredible odds. GOD was faithful.
But then began an erosion of principle, a joining with Europe, a diminishing of freedoms. And here we are, standing on the brink of collapse: the traditions of Magna Carta and Common Law for the freedom of every man is being burnt away and replaced by ideology seeped in communism with the threat of Islamic Jihad and a twisted social justice to fan the flames.
Woe, Woe Jerusalem
Jesus wept over Jerusalem because most of the leaders would not lead GOD’s will and purpose for the people, the city, the nation. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!” (Matthew 23:37)
Will anyone be crying “Woe, Woe” over England? I think so. Yes, I think it is already happening, even as we slide into the abyss from weak leadership, confused humanist policy, and self destructive activity which is leading us to the end.
Can a nation be turned?
But as long as their are people praying and believing, there is hope for the UK.
Israel was galvanised and a second temple was built before the arrival of Jesus on the earth. Although it too was destroyed in about AD70, the nation was re-born on a day in 1948. GOD will not forsake His own.
England and the United Kingdom need prayer
“If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways, and forgive themselves and heal their land.“ (2 Chronicles 7:14)
If people will pray for this nation, I believe it can be turned. But time is running out… So, let us,
Pray for the King to turn to Jesus.
Pray for the Prime Minister to recognise GOD.
Pray for our leaders — the most atheistic in this land’s history — to recognise the only one who can get the UK out of the pit is the only one who went into the pit of hell and conquered it so that those who believe can also conquer their pit.
And pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Ps 122) because GOD loves His first born. Those who pray for Israel will be blessed (Genesis 12:3)
One reply on “Warning: an echo from Lamentations 5”
“Will anyone be crying “Woe, Woe” over England? I think so. Yes, I think it is already happening, even as we slide into the abyss from weak leadership, confused humanist policy, and self destructive activity which is leading us to the end.” This is profound and I pray those who have ears will hear and pray as we are. Amen.
