The Lord finally had to allow a much harsher bondage\u2014a destruction of their land and the people being scattered among the nations as slaves.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This destruction and dispersion happened twice to Israel. The first dispersion lasted seventy years, but the second would last almost two thousand years. Throughout God\u2019s history of dealing with man, He has displayed the most remarkable grace, mercy, and patience, but we also have the testimony that He has limits.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Isaiah 11 the Lord promised to restore Israel a \u201csecond time.\u201d When Isaiah gave this prophecy, they had not even been disbursed or restored the first time. He knows the end from the beginning, but now so do we through the biblical prophecies He has given us. As we are told in I Thessalonians 5:4, <strong>\u201cBut you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">America\u2019s history is only a fraction as long as Israel\u2019s, but we can see similar cycles of America drawing close to God, and then drifting away from Him, suffering the consequences, repenting, and receiving the blessings of His favor. There have been a number of awakenings to draw us back to God, and two \u201cGreat\u201d Awakenings that not only drew the people to God, but set a deep spiritual DNA into the country. Our spiritual DNA is elastic, but it can only be stretched so far before breaking. To date, when we have gotten close to the limits we have snapped back, awakened to a sense of our national purpose,&nbsp;and risen to even greater clarity and resolve. When this awakening was not by spiritual revival it was by war. It seems that we could have avoided the wars by receiving and responding to the awakenings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/partners.morningstarministries.org\/august-msj-day-reckoning-xiii\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">READ MORE &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","fulltext":"","state":1,"catid":"8","created":"2021-08-04 18:00:36","created_by":"873","created_by_alias":"","modified":"2021-08-04 18:18:35","modified_by":"873","checked_out":"873","checked_out_time":"2021-08-04 18:17:58","publish_up":"2021-08-04 18:00:36","publish_down":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","images":"{\"image_intro\":\"\",\"float_intro\":\"\",\"image_intro_alt\":\"\",\"image_intro_caption\":\"\",\"image_fulltext\":\"\",\"float_fulltext\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_alt\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_caption\":\"\"}","urls":"{\"urla\":false,\"urlatext\":\"\",\"targeta\":\"\",\"urlb\":false,\"urlbtext\":\"\",\"targetb\":\"\",\"urlc\":false,\"urlctext\":\"\",\"targetc\":\"\"}","attribs":"{\"article_layout\":\"\",\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_tags\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"info_block_position\":\"\",\"info_block_show_title\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_associations\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"urls_position\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_page_title\":\"\",\"show_publishing_options\":\"\",\"show_article_options\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_backend\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_frontend\":\"\"}","version":7,"ordering":"0","metakey":"","metadesc":"","access":"1","hits":"2","metadata":"{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}","featured":"1","language":"*","xreference":"","note":""}
