Nahum 3:5-7

America is being destroyed from the lack of Christian morals in this administration. It is as if we made light of the commandments in order to elect this president. He has become a national idol to those who support him.

God will not be mocked.

Nahum 3:5-7
5 “Behold, I am against you,” says the Lord of hosts;
“I will lift your skirts over your face,
I will show the nations your nakedness,
And the kingdoms your shame.
6 I will cast abominable filth upon you,
Make you vile, 
And make you a spectacle.
7 It shall come to pass that all who look upon you
Will flee from you, and say,
‘Nineveh is laid waste!
Who will bemoan her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”

Nakedness and exposure to public shame and ridicule was a typical punishment for infidelity or prostitution. Here, the prophet describes people shaking their heads in mourning or grief. Faithlife Bible.

The Lord described the fate of Nineveh as comparable to a person on whom unspeakable filth was cast. When Nineveh lay in ruins, no one would bemoan her. The nations would be glad that the city was gone. NKJ Bible

Isaiah 47:3 | Your nakedness shall be uncovered,Yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, and I will not arbitrate with a man.”

Isaiah 51:19 | These two things have come to you; Who will be sorry for you?—Desolation and destruction, famine and sword—By whom will I comfort you?

Jeremiah 13:26 | Therefore I will uncover your skirts over your face, that your shame may appear.

Jeremiah 15:5 | “For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Or who will bemoan you? Or who will turn aside to ask how you are doing?
