In the midst of deceit

In reading Jeremiah 8 & 9; it's just like the very same events that are taking place in America now, and throughout the world. The sins of His people and the nations apply not only to Israel, but to "mystery Babylon"; Amerika, which it has become. 

For instance:

8:18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me. 

9:5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.6 Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.

9:9 Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Definition of deceit: Merium-Webster.com
1 : the act of causing someone to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid : the act or practice of deceiving : deception achieving one's goals through a web of deceit
2 : an attempt or device to deceive : trick
Her excuse turned out to be a deceit.
3 : the quality of being dishonest or misleading : the quality of being deceitful : deceitfulness … far from deceit or guile.— John Milton
 
Come again?! Yep, sounds about right!

Alas for the day!

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time. Revelation 12:12

Haven't we noticed how quickly time/plans of the enemy is passing.  Surely we are living in the last days, but to have been chosen to live in these days; God has a plan for each of His people and it is God that works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13

Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. Joel 1:15

And the Lord shall utter His voice before His army: for his camp is very great; for he is strong that executeth his word; for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible: and who can abide it? Joel 2:11

The Lord is supernaturally uniting/strenghtening His people/the Body of Christ together/building up His Army of Believers/the gifts/power of the Holy Spirit, and the GATES of Hell shall not prevail against His church! Matthew 16:18

The whole BIBLE speaks of Jesus Christ, the Son of God that came in the flesh. Our answers are there: in Him.
