Our Tenth Plague

The terrors of the past few days have been our Tenth Plague of Egypt. For the blood of every innocent aborted child crying out of the ground to God, for the cries for justice rising from the people of God, for all our wickedness, God sent his avenging Angel to bring the Day of the Lord upon us, working through those who are evil. His wrath had reached full measure, until He could take no more, and it was finally let go. He required sacrifice, the putting down of those committing these daily atrocities, the looting, the destruction, the assaults and murder. A generation of wicked children should have met, at the hands of government authorities, the judgment required by Deut. 21:18-21. A sacrifice should have been - had to be - made to appease God, for all our evil, to drive away His wrath. But we refused.

But now it’s too late, and God has given us up, given us over to all we deserve. Ichabod - the Glory of the Lord has departed.
