The Lord's Message to America

Woe unto you, O America!

You have done great evil in My Name.

You have conquered the world for your own greed and called it Liberation.

You have killed the innocent and called it Justice.

You have destroyed the weak and called it Mercy.

You have aided the wicked and called it Wisdom.

You have set up tyrants in foreign lands to do your bidding.

These you call wise and just rulers.

But the people they rule are not fooled.

You have waged war for plunder and asked Me to bless it.

You claimed it was My Will that guided your armies.

But I abandoned you long ago.

Once you set your hearts toward conquest and the accumulation of wealth, you turned away from Me.

For that betrayal, I have cursed thee.

You clothe yourselves in the finest garments, yet you feel naked.

Your homes are cool in the summer and warm in the winter, yet you tremble in the cold and wilt in the heat.

You have built the highest walls, yet you never feel safe.

You have conquered the world, yet you never know a moment’s peace.

Your fear has consumed you.

You rule the world, yet you are alone.

You are hated.

You have united the nations against you.

And you will fall.

Just as Babylon and Persia, Rome and Byzantium, the Mongols and the British, you will fall.

No empire can last forever.

But you will cling to your empire, as all imperial peoples do.

You will cling to your luxuries and your comforts, long after they have ceased to bring you any joy or solace.

You will sacrifice everything to keep your privileges.

And the longer you cling to your empire, the more you will lose.

Your leaders will be vain and haughty.

They will love the sound of their own voice.

They will be mesmerized by their own lies and cower from enemies of their own making.

They will lead you astray.

You will believe their lies, and, even after you stop believing, it will be too late.

You are a vain people.

You look young and act young.

You are like children compared to your ancestors.

You inherited this empire.

You did not build it.

You did not conquer it.

You do not know how to hold it, so you let it slip away.

And the more you try to keep it, the faster it slips away, for you are a foolish people who have grown weak and fat and lazy.

As punishment for your sins, I will turn sister against brother, father against daughter, husband against wife.

You who brought death to every corner of the earth will be torn apart by the very weapons you worship.

You who have squandered and spoiled your land’s beauty will leave your children scraps to fight over.

You who clothe yourselves in vanity will go naked to the slaughter.

The butcher is readying his knife, but you are the ones who gave it to him.

I will not be there to stay his hand.
