How would you characterize the leadership of failing nations?

The leadership of a failing nation is characterize by not following the Law of God, being ungodly in all of their ways.  They are not following the Way of Life that Jesus taught, lived, teachings, and judgments.  It is not just the leadership but the people themselves have become ungodly.  The leaders and people do not obey the commands of Jesus because they do not love Him.  The only way we can show our love for Jesus is to obey His commands and teachings.  The people and the leadership (definitely the churches today) “pick and choose” which commands and teachings they will observe.  When Jesus our Lord returns to set up His kingdom during the millennium, He will restore all things as they were supposed to be and then all people will observe His commands and teachings.  John explains it the best when he said this is love for God, to obey his commands.

(John 15:10 NIV)  If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.

(John 14:23-24 NIV)  Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. {24} He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

(1 John 5:3 NIV)  This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,

  1. It's very frightening to consider how far this great country has strayed from God's Word! From our leaders, to the media, to so many individuals who have turned there back on God. The Lord's judgement will be strong. I just hope we can have a revival across this nation before our time runs out!

    1. The amount of time, all depends on those who claim to be a follower of our Lord, Jesus, if we do what 2 Chr 7:14 tells us to do.

      (2 Chr 7:14 NIV) if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
