But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies. You have made us turn back from the foe, and those who hate us have gotten spoil. You have made us like sheep for slaughter and have scattered us among the nations. You have sold your people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them.

You have not rejected Your people, but You have turned Your face from our wicked ways. How can we, those who claim to be followers of You, but yet who disobey You at every turn, continue to demand Your favor? No, You are disciplining Your church and we will pay the penalty for our disobedience. The church in this country is about to go through a purging equivalent to the Babylon exile. Daniel 5:21b “until he knew that the Most High God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it whom he will.” (written on 10/19/2012, 18 days before the election of 2012 on 11/6)
