IS AMERICA CURSED?

As many of you know, we love to bring you a great Gospel message and Biblical teaching each Sunday.

Here is the one for this week, and it’s a heavy one as you might see from the title.

Is America cursed?

Are our best times behind us?

Have we lost the protective hand of God upon this nation, if we had it at one time?

For the answer we go to our friend Pastor Robb:

Here is today’s message titled, IS AMERICA CURSED?

Today I will answer this and other questions how America is being CURSED.

The Bible says that the curse comes for specific reasons.

Why is our once great & mighty country sinking into many depths of evil?  Why are these terrible things happening.

I will share in this message the reasons why. The Lord spoke to me and told me to warn the church. The religious folks and our US Government what is coming. I must be obedient to speak what the Lord has commanded me to speak.

I’m just the messenger. This is not a ear tickling message. I pray that it brings every believer to a place of full surrender to the Lord.

We are called to bear the truth and carry it forth to everyone. There will be a price to be paid by all of us who follow Jesus.

I pray the Holy Spirit will speak very clearly to everyone.  Holy Spirit will show us things that are to come. That’s what Jesus said.

May God bless you and bring our nation back to its place of greatness.  Don’t hide your light, but let it be seen by all people. Amen.

In His Grace,
Pastor Robb Goodman
Sr. Pastor of Zion Freedom Fellowship USA

Here’s more on what the Bible has to say about Curses on Nations:

The Bible does contain references to curses on nations, primarily found in the Old Testament. These curses are often presented in the context of divine retribution for disobedience, idolatry, or ethical and moral transgressions. Here are a few key concepts:

1. Covenant and Disobedience: In the Old Testament, especially in books like Deuteronomy and Leviticus, the concept of a covenant between God and the Israelites is central. Blessings are promised for obedience to God’s laws, and curses are warned of as consequences for disobedience. These curses could involve various forms of hardship, including famine, disease, defeat in battle, and exile.
2. Prophetic Warnings: Prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel often spoke of impending curses or disasters as a consequence of the nation’s sins, particularly idolatry and injustice. These prophecies sometimes extended to other nations as well, predicting downfall or destruction due to their actions.
3. National Repentance and Redemption: The Bible also discusses the theme of repentance and redemption. For instance, the book of Jonah tells of the city of Nineveh, which was spared from destruction after its inhabitants repented. This suggests that the curses were not always irreversible and that change in behavior could avert disaster.
4. New Testament Perspective: In the New Testament, the focus shifts more to individual salvation through Jesus Christ and less on national blessings and curses. The teachings of Jesus and the apostles often emphasize personal faith and moral conduct rather than the collective obedience of a nation.
5. Symbolic Interpretations: Some parts of the Bible, especially in books like Revelation, use symbolic language that has been interpreted in various ways over the centuries. Some of these symbols have been interpreted as referring to nations and their fates, although these interpretations are often diverse and complex.

Want to go even deeper about what the Bible says about the Nations?

And why he seems to align WITH some and AGAINST others?

It’s All About Cosmic Geography!

For the past few weeks, I’ve been on a strange YouTube kick of watching old Dr. Michael Heiser videos.

You know how once you watch one video on something, then YouTube recommends all of those same videos to you for the next two weeks?

And it’s not “strange” because it’s strange content, quite the contrary.

Heiser is one of the people who I could listen to for hours on end and be endlessly fascinated.

I hated school, but oddly I can learn from someone like Dr. Heiser for hours without interruption and take it in like a sponge.

So that’s not the strange part.

The strange part is I have so much going on right now (running this website, for one) and I don’t have enough time to get to everything, but I still found myself spending time listening to videos from Dr. Heiser.

But after the war has broken out in Israel, it now makes perfect sense.

Because I have a platform here that over 5 million people each month tune in to.

I don’t take that responsibility lightly.

I try to do this job with excellence and with integrity, and a big part of that means simply publishing the truth!

That means not censoring stories the way the MSM does…

It means honestly researching and honestly reporting each story, even if it doesn’t fit “my” narrative…

And it also means being able to decipher competing stories to FIND the truth in a sea of lies.

It’s that last part that suddenly makes Dr. Heiser so relevant and now I see what I was irrationally captivated by those videos for the last two weeks — it was so I would be prepared to navigate this propaganda war we find ourselves in and report to you the Biblical truth of what is going on here so we don’t just blindly substitute SUPPORT ISRAEL in place of SUPPORT UKRAINE!

I know that last line may make many of you nervous, and so let me say clearly two things: (1) I absolutely support Israel.  That’s not up for negotiation.  But (2) I am not Israel’s keeper and neither are you and neither is America.  YHWH is.  Israel is Yahweh’s portion.  He, himself, defends Israel and he neither slumbers nor sleeps.

So I want to get that clear right out of the gate.

Now what I want to do next is introduce you to this idea of “Cosmic Geography”.

This is the Bible your pastor probably never taught you on Sunday morning, but it’s very real.

Dr. Heiser was famous for saying “I’ve never had an original thought in my life” meaning that all of his work is thoroughly sourced and credentialed by other scholars and by history.

That’s important.

I’m not interested in following someone who has created something “new” in Christianity, that’s very dangerous, but I am interested in learning from someone who says “this is what the Church taught for centuries until modern churches stopped teaching it.”

Now you’ve got my attention.

Heiser’s basic premise is if you ask a modern Christian “why is the world so messed up” they’d give you the normal answer: because sin entered the world through Adam and Even in the Garden of Eden.

But if you asked an ancient Israelite, they’d say there are three reasons!

Yes, you have the Garden of Eden event, thats #1.

But second, you have the Genesis 6:4 event where the Fallen Angels leave the spiritual realm, come to Earth, mate with women, and create the Nephilim, and it’s these Nephilim that become the Giant Clans through most of the Old Testament.

Look it up, it’s all in there.

The third event is the splitting up of Nations, which comes right after the Tower of Babel.

The Garden of Eden is taught in church a lot.

Genesis 6:4 is almost never taught in church, but we talk about it here.

But this third event is very rarely talked about.

Because it confuses pastors so they just skip over it.

It’s Deuteronomy 32:8 which reads:

8 When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations,
When He separated the sons of Adam,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
According to the number of the [c]children of Israel.
9 For the Lord’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the place of His inheritance.

Translation: that says God divided up the people of the world into Nations according to the “Sons of God” (i.e. the Principalities that Paul so often talks about in the New Testament).

These are real beings, and they were members of the Divine Council.

More on that in a moment.

Not co-equal gods, but certainly members of God’s council (something else almost never taught in church).

If you look at the footnote of the quoted text above, some translations translate it “children of Israel” because they are not comfortable with “Sons of God”, it creeps them out.

But look at the footnote Bible Gateway gives you on what the true language is:

Angels of God, or Sons of God.

The “DSS” refers to the Dead Sea Scrolls, which were only recently uncovered and which are widely believed by scholars to be one of the oldest and thus most reliable translations available.

That is the correct translation.

Then read verse 9:  “But Israel is the LORD’s portion”.

In other words, let me sum it all up for you:  God is angry with what people have done at Babel.  They have not disbursed and spread out on the Earth the way he instructed them, so he divides them up into Nations and he assigns each a ruler — an Angel or a Son of God.

But God keeps Israel for himself so that in the event all other Nations become corrupt (and they do), he can still fulfill his original plan that he had in the Garden of Eden through Israel.

I hope you’re tracking with me, because you’re going to see the News in an entirely new light when you understand this.

It’s Ephesians 6:12:  “12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

I know you’ve all read that verse many times, but does it make a lot more sense now?

Each Nation does indeed has a ruler over it, a “Principality”.

It’s Daniel 1013: “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there with the kings of Persia.”

I’m telling you, this stuff is all over your Bible, and once you start to see it and connect the dots, things come alive!

One more quote to pull it all home for you….

Psalm 82:

Psalm 82

A Plea for Justice

A Psalm of Asaph.

¹ God has taken his place in the divine council;
    in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
² “How long will you judge unjustly
    and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
³ Give justice to the weak and the orphan;
    maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.
⁴ Rescue the weak and the needy;
    deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

⁵ They have neither knowledge nor understanding;
    they walk around in darkness;
    all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

⁶ I say, “You are gods,
    children of the Most High, all of you;
⁷ nevertheless, you shall die like mortals
    and fall like any prince.”^[a]

⁸ Rise up, O God, judge the earth,
    for all the nations belong to you!

If anything I have said so far makes you nervous, understand this is ALL in your Bible.

Have you ever read Psalm 82?

It connects with everything I just told you.

YHWH takes his place in the Divine Council, in the midst of the gods he holds judgment!

Don’t be made at me, I didn’t write that….Jesus did!  It’s in your Bible!

So does that mean we have multiple gods?

No.

But we do have multiple “Sons of God” that YHWH put on his Divine Council.

And you can’t read that to just be the Trinity because in the remainder of the Psalm, these other “gods” (Elohim, simply meaning spiritual beings created by God living in the spiritual realm) they all turn evil and go bad.

Psalm 82 is recounting what happens after Deuteronomy 32.

God assigned the Nations of the world each to one of his members of his Divine Council.

He trusted them to rule fairly and justly but they all turn corrupt.

Sound familiar?

So they face judgment and God/YWHW carries out his original plan through HIS PORTION, which is Israel.

That’s my effort to introduce this concept to you and for you to get a better understanding of what is happening with Israel right now on the world stage.

But of course Dr. Michael Heiser does it better than I ever could.

So for the visual learners out there, I have some videos for you.

The first is Dr. Heiser talking about this in a Q&A format:

If you loved that and want to go deeper, or if you’d prefer more of a teaching format over Q&A, I’ll give you the absolute best.

This is Dr. Heiser’s 4 Part Supernatual Seminar.

It covers everything I just told you but in much more detail and in the way only Dr. Heiser could do it.
