The U.S. and the 10 Commandments

Exodus 20:1-17...

The Ten Commandments

20 And God spoke all these words, saying:
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“You shall have no other gods before Me.
“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, theLord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourthgenerations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh dayis the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days theLord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”


Can a nation violate the ten commandments? Definitely! And can a nation repent? Certainly! But will America repent of its sins? After all, America is violating all the ten commandments daily! 
She has many false religions that she bows. She has forgotten the Sabbath. When I was a child, all the stores were closed on the Sabbath. Today though, most stores are 24 hours a day.
Certainly children of America do not honor their mothers and fathers. This is the first generation of American children to NOT honor their parents. It is a nation that has become of mothers raising children without the fathers. Marriage is forgotten. 
You can go and find more but America must repent! 


John 3:16

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His 
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in 
Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
