It will be a ruling that is going to plow the land under.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">The God of Heaven looked down at the mockery of humans and allowed them to choose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">They chose. Now America is going to crumble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">They chose. Now America will burn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">They chose. Now a plague will dine on the people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">They chose, and those who celebrate will become the fodder of the unspeakable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">They chose, and now darkness will overtake with unrelenting madness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">They chose to throw away God&#8217;s law, and with it, the lamp of the eye.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">So ladies and gentlemen, today &#8211; June 26, 2015, the time has arrived to be afraid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">Be afraid for your family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">Be afraid for your loved ones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">Be afraid for the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">Be afraid, because foolish men have stoked the fires of the wrath of God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">Be afraid, because the thread God&#8217;s patience, has been severed by the blade of lustful man.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">Be afraid, because the foundry of Heaven is forging the weapons of war and sharpening the battle ax of the destroyer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">Be afraid, oh people, for the appointment is coming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">Weep for the losses. Grieve for the fallen. Cry out to your Creator and plead that the coming plague of bloodshed will pass over you and your dwelling place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">Today, the Nation turned a corner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">Today, she left her path and walked into a graveyard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">The tombstones watched&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">&#8230;the keepers of the crypts laughed&#8230;<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">&#8230;and the jaws of Hell opened wide to dine on the coming meal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">The time of talk is over. The time to pray that America will turn has passed. She has chosen not to be healed. Her fate has been determined.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26\">So save yourselves and hide in the Rock of Christ.
