Joseph Farah has been speaking in increasingly angry and apocalyptic terms since President Obama was re-elected:
On Nov. 6, he asserted that Obama’s re-election was “God’s judgment on a people who have turned away from Him and His ways and from everything for which our founders sacrificed their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.”
On Nov. 8, he called for “a counter-revolution in the culture – to start creating new institutions and restoring some of the old ones, to withdraw from the institutions that are corrupting our culture and degrading our principles and to create their own counter-cultural institutions.
On Nov. 13, he declared that Obama voters have “gone awhoring.”
Farah takes it to another level in his Nov. 18 column, by digging around in the book of Hosea to declare that America is “where ancient Israel was before being destroyed by God”:
Do you want to know where America is today in historical and biblical terms?
It’s where ancient Israel was before being destroyed by God.In Hosea 8, God speaks to the prophet about the precipice on which Israel stands: “They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.”
We are in full apostasy boogie.
We have left our Judeo-Christian roots, values and heritage and are pursuing other gods.
We think we’re too sophisticated for accountability to God.
God’s laws and judgments are, well, too judgmental for a secular and advanced society like America’s.
We know how to do it better.
Which, of course, immediately turns into an excuse to try and sell something from the WND online store:
This is, in fact, the subject matter of the No. 1 faith film in America this year – “The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment,” which I was privileged to produce. Its popularity – 35 weeks as the No. 1 faith film and a top five documentary during most of that time – suggests not all Americans are falling for this retreat from reality. It’s a visual retelling of the No. 1 Christian book of 2012, “The Harbinger.”
Apparently, if America is about to be destroyed, Farah is going to try and fleece his readers for as much money as he can before the end.
