A Prophetic Dream?

Was it only a bad dream?

shadows in a restless sleep?

the deep sorrow of the scene

caused my heart to weep

people from far-flung places

were visibly confused and fearful

they all had such sad faces,

and not a few were tearful

Standing afar to escape torment and pain,

beating their chests, loudly crying,

 mourning  the death of a lady of shame

who left many lovers in her hour of dying.

Death came suddenly in an hour's time

she was destroyed by an infernal blast

leaving desolation and ashes behind,

witnesses lamenting, "Alas, alas!"

I heard many voices moan and whine

"She was our best customer, to her we sold

our goods, produce, drugs and wine

now who will buy and pay in gold?

It's said she was great, a Godly nation

once she was generous, just and right

but greed and immorality reached saturation

she became dull of hearing, dim of sight

Having ears she would hear truth no more

Having eyes, she was blinded by greed

Polluting all that entered her door

crafting and selling her evil seed

Little by little and by bits and pieces

she became a whore unashamed

sitting upon a throne of stock increases

shunning God for worldly gain

Who was this lady who is now but dust?

T'was America, once mighty and grand to see

whose motto humbly stated, "In God we trust."

Oh, dearest God----how can this be?

I woke groaning----so real it seemed

Will it be truth in time ahead

Was it prophecy that I dreamed?

America, will you soon be dead?

Are we now at our judgment hour?

Maybe---but its not too late to pray

Asking God to pour out a shower

of His mercy and grace upon us today!

Edited from when I wrote this a few years ago.  How much closer are we to judgement today?   When we read God's word, we see that God did not spare even His own nation, Israel, when it became full of idolatry and wickedness.  How dare we ask God to bless America in this time in our history when we are comparable to Israel at her worst?   We need an awakening to God's Holiness and our vileness to the point of repentance on a national scale.  Father, have mercy and pour out Your Spirit upon us to WAKE UP AMERICA!  amen
