June 27, 2013 – Jeremiah 16

When the US does fall, many will ask why.  The answer will likely be that it has nothing to do with the generation that lives at the time but what their fathers had done.  We all believe that a son does not pay for the sins of the father; a criminal’s punishment does not fall upon their child, but in many ways chooses of a generation does effect the future generations.  In many ways, a criminal’s punishment does affect the child, in his absence, his depleted ability to get work, etc.  No one has any idea what a nation that is 17 trillion dollars in debt will face as that increases and becomes due.  I don’t think anyone can truly believe it will have a positive influence on life.  There are many that see it as the instrument that will bring us all to ruin.  Regardless, many of us will live life seemingly unaffected by it, but there will be generations that will live life completely affected and devastated by the chose we have made to live our lives the way we are choosing.  In many ways, they will serve the punishment for the crime we are committing.  They will be exiled for our betrayal of God.
