The Bible is filled with prophetic similitudes. In fact, this is the primary way all things “prophetic” work in what Jesus Christ called, his Kingdom. All things prophetic ultimately point back to him. In his opening declaration to his Apostle John on the island of Patmos he said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last.” Also later in chapter 19, “The testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy.”
It was always the blessing of God for his chosen people, the Israelites, to inherit the land. From that inheritance all the blessing flowed. Cultures for thousands of years have been agrarian cultures. It’s only been recently that modernism has created the illusion of non-agrarian societies. The truth is, mankind depends on the land to survive. With that in mind we can see that the converse is applicable. To be judged is to be driven off the land, as was the case with ancient Israel numerous times. And this only happened when one thing in particular occurred. When they disobeyed the Lord’s commands, he would send prophets to deliver messages. The intent was, out of an act of love, to warn his people and give them time to repent. If the message was not obeyed, in a time of the Lord’s choosing he would bring his paternal correction. Often this included some event or events that reduced their use of the land or completely drove them from it.
Keep in mind this is an eternal truth and endures from age-to-age and beyond.
America’s current compendium of crises, as well as the other nations, is rooted in sin and disobedience to such a scale that the Lord has come down to see and he’s brought his judgment with him. For a time and as he has done in times past, he is using his very own enemies to discipline his people. He does this when words are no longer working and something stronger is needed. And this is where we find ourselves now.
America has entered a Gideonian Judgement. Below is a chart comparing the astounding similarities between the trouble brought to ancient Israel in the time of Gideon and America’s current collection of crises.
The Church in the earth has one job, which is to be a nation of high priests. By walking in the way of Jesus Christ himself we are commissioned by him to minister as a nation among nations of the world. We are to minister his power, his majesty, and his grace. This includes standards of righteousness, morality, and unconditional love. In other words, the ways of a good father.
The fingerprints of demonic power and control are all around us and the nations are feverishly engaged in the game of politics in a vain effort to save themselves. This is a fool’s errand. The irony is that politics got us into this mess in the first place. Devilish personas have nearly scrubbed all traces of morality from the American mindset and what we are living through now is the result.
Therefore, the Lord as mighty judge has come down from his throne to see. He is calling us to repent and turn back to him. It need not be said any other way.
Pastors, elders, Church leaders, teachers and saints everywhere are called, appointed and anointed to carry this message. This must be a corporate effort (II Chronicles 7:14) according to the Lord’s promises. When we obey, he will hear.
The Gideonian Judgment
Similarities in God’s judgment on Israel in Gideon’s time and The United States of America
|
Ancient Israel
|
USA
|
|
Judges 6:
Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord
|
Government
corruption, rising crime rates (e.g. robbery, assault, murder, child abuse), corporate
crime, worship of money and self, normalization of sex sins (Homosexuality,
fornication, adultery, pedophilia etc.) Christianity increasingly diluted and
false doctrines cloaked in "the goodness of self".
|
|
So the Lord delivered them into the hand
of Midian for seven years and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel.
|
An overthrow began in 2020 with our system of governance, C19 was announced to
the world in March, a spirit of lies accelerated flooding society as never
before. Govt. conspired w/ private business to increase their power. A prophecy
was delivered immediately before this in Dec. 2019 warning the USA that “some
great American cities would begin to fall” and that there would be riots and
deaths. The Lord would “expose the disease of their lying deceptions
and magnify the day of their corruption.”
|
|
Because of the Midianites, the children of Israel made for
themselves the dens, the caves, and the strongholds which are in the
mountains.
|
Government
tried to “mandate” experimental drugs on the American people and succeeded in Govt.
institutions and influenced it in many private businesses. Masking and lock
downs were initiated (people were relegated to stay in their homes, living
more off Govt., and surrendering more freedoms.
|
|
So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up;
also Amalekites and the people of the East would come up
against them. 4 Then they would encamp against them and
destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance for
Israel, neither sheep nor ox nor donkey. 5 For they would
come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as
locusts; both they and their camels were [a]without
number; and they would enter the land to destroy it.
|
After
more than 2 years, many falsehoods around C19 have been exposed. “Speculation”
swirled it came from a laboratory in China (people of the east).
The US Government has and continues to print and spend recklessly. Inflation
exploded consuming the people’s wages, savings, and economic power of
self-determination.
Govt.
refuses to enforce border laws and illegal immigration explodes. People from
nations all over the world pour daily over the borders into the United
States, draining the economy even more.
(Note:
It is historically recorded and believed that the Amorites were a country of
Immigrants.)
|
|
6 So Israel was greatly impoverished because of the
Midianites, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.
|
A
national cry out to God the Creator has not yet occurred, and will not until
America is “greatly impoverished” enough to acknowledge her sin and return to
Him.
|
|
And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to the Lord because of the Midianites, 8 that the Lord sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, “Thus
says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I brought you up from Egypt and brought you out
of the house of [b]bondage; 9 and
I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all
who oppressed you, and drove them out before you and gave you their land. 10 Also
I said to you, “I am the Lord your
God; do not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.” But you
have not listened to Me.’ ”

The
Lord has blessed the USA mightily and called the nation to lead before the
other nations of the world. This is beyond dispute. The USA has become
wealthy and opulent. But the nation and much of the Church have lost their
first love and turned to falsehoods, compromise, and sins of idolatry. The
name of the Lord is no longer revered but cursed and used as a by-word.
Culture and society have become increasingly perverse, resorting to human
trafficking (a form of slavery), and perversions of the Mankind of all sorts.
The cry of this sin has gone up before the Lord and His “face.”
God
commands all men everywhere to repent - Acts 17:30. If the nation will cry
out to him and turn from wickedness, God will hear from heaven, forgive our
sin and heal our land. - II Chronicles 7:14
