AMERICA'S FALL FROM GRACE
America's Fall From Grace; Does Katrina Mark A Beginning Decline? - By Bill Wilson, KIN Senior Analyst - www.watch.org
WASH—Sep 7—KIN—State Department Spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters that the United States would not decline any offer of disaster relief from any foreign nation or organization. With that, Major George Hood of the Salvation Army has revealed that for the first time in history, foreign donations have been received by America for a natural disaster.
Over 70 nations had pledged support as of Tuesday night, including Cuba, Russia and China, as well as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. France, Germany, Canada, Austria, Australia, Britain, NATO and more have pledged support. And Hood said that the intensity of the donations from Americans is keeping pace or exceeding those that were received for 9/11. He admitted that it was a strange feeling to receive donations from foreign countries for a disaster in the U.S. given that the U.S. is usually on the giving end rather than the receiving one.
Already the mainstream news media has been sizing up America for a blame game and Presidential wannabe Hilary Clinton has obliged by calling for a 9/11-type commission to investigate why relief efforts were so slow. Certainly, reality television took a new twist with real life drama unfolding before American's eyes as the winds and floodwaters ripped apart property and lives throughout Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
All fingers point to the "government," whoever that is, that is the blame for the hurricane disaster. Ultimately, the mayor of disaster devastated New Orleans failed in so many ways to lead his people to safety and to preserve order once the devastation was wrought. The mayor ordered police to ignore the looters, opting to focus on rescue operations, such that they were. This resulted in snipers shooting at rescue helicopters; swat teams killing looters who were shooting at workers trying to stop hemorrhaging dykes in New Orleans, and even hostage situations downtown—not to mention rapes, murders and thieving.
It hardly took a day for New Orleans thugs to take over the city and spur newspaper headlines throughout Europe of anarchy—a glimpse of America at its worst, but perhaps a prophetic gander at the future in the event of more natural or man-made disasters.
All this while Louisiana's governor was wasting time hiring a Clinton Administration disaster expert to coordinate relief efforts instead of turning over the National Guard in the state to the federal government. Fox News's Shepherd Smith and Geraldo Rivera were crying angry about the conditions of people, babies and the elderly, on national television, demanding an explanation why the media could get access to New Orleans, but food, water and rescue personnel were not allowed in. Once the feds took control, refugees were evacuated within eight hours, making for visibly strained relations between President George W. Bush, who is no stranger to disasters, and the Democratic politicos of Louisiana and New Orleans.
The blame game, now in full gear, Democrats are trying to make political hay while the skies clear, not even waiting until the debris and bodies are cleaned up. The entire disaster was the fault of President Bush, they say. And liberals in the German and French governments would agree—the President's refusal to participate in the Kyoto treaty combating global warming actually caused the warm waters meeting with the cool air igniting the tropical depression that soon became Katrina.
Prophetically speaking, the blame may be partly Bush's. The Bible is clear that those who come against Israel, Jerusalem, will be cut in pieces. Certainly, the week before Katrina, in the midst of Jews evicting Jews from their land for the first time in history, the television newscasts were airing pictures of Israeli Defense Forces dragging settlers from their homes with the voices in the background saying, "And this eviction is supported, even pressured, by the Untied States of America and President George W. Bush."
While is it ludicrous to blame the President for the hurricane, Bible prophecies are in play. As the last settlement was cleared in Gaza, Katrina was swirling about in the ocean. Meantime, New Orleans was rolling out the welcome mat for "Southern Decadence" a mardi-gras type celebration for homosexuals, which was cancelled last year because of a hurricane. Gambling casinos were gearing up for another record weekend of earnings and the sin machine was in motion days prior to Katrina's blast.
The combination of sin in New Orleans and the American support of disengagement in Israel could very well have resulted in judgment in the form of hurricane Katrina. The loss of life so far cannot be calculated. The cost to rebuild, replaces, and relocate will likely far exceed the $25 billion originally suggested.
The wealth of America is undeniably marked. Gasoline prices have skyrocketed. The economy, which was steaming along nicely, could possibly be thrown into recession. The impact could be more than a thousand dollars a year for every family. And symbolically, as much as anything else, an American President actually asked other nations for financial assistance.
As in Jeremiah 51, where the Lord said He would bring up the seas against the cities of Babylon, New Orleans has been destroyed. And the mighty nation of the United States, financially spread thin by the war on terror and the massive government funding secular projects around the world, is hit so hard economically that the president of the United States has asked for financial aid of the other nations, including our enemies. Does this mark the beginning or a milestone of condemnation on America and the "settling in" so to speak of her end-time prophetic destiny?
