What if ?

What if ?

Genesis 18:19-33

King James Version (KJV)

²⁰ And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

²¹ I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

God spoke to Abraham and told him that he was grieved and angry with what He saw in the cities of Sodom and Gomorra. He said He was going to destroy the cities and the people in them.

Abraham began to pray to God for their salvation asking God not to destroy the cities if 50 righteous people were found in them.

God promised Abraham not to pour His wrath out upon them if 50 righteous people were found there. God continued to look and He didn’t find 50 righteous people,45,30,20 in the wicked cities. Abraham continued to pray for Gods mercy as he lowered his count to just 10 righteous people.

There were not even 10 righteous people found there, so God destroyed the wicked cities.

What if God looked upon the United States of America and saw what He saw in the Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah?

What if God was so grieved and angry at the sin and wickedness He saw in America He decided to destroy this wicked country?

What if God spoke to His prophets and ministers telling them of His decision to destroy America because of its people’s vileness and wickedness?

What if God’s prophets and ministers prayed for America’s salvation and still the masses of people refused to hear God’s word?

What if America continued to rebel against all the stop signs God has placed before it and continue down the broad way of destruction?

Would God find enough truly righteous people in America to cause Him to turn away His wrath and change His mind?

Other peoples have tasted God’s wrath and judgment for a lot less than what He sees going on in America.

Can we expect to see His patience, mercy and grace continue with us while we as a nation continue to get more wicked with each passing day?

There is a point of no return with God are we near it? Or have we already crossed over it?

Would God find enough truly righteous people in America to turn His wrath away and change His mind?
