statement on his website<\/span><\/span><\/a> saying that Sandy is ravaging the U.S. East Coast \u201c21 years to the day\u201d in October 1991 when \u201cPresident George Bush Sr. initiated the Madrid Peace Process to divide the land of Israel, including Jerusalem. America has been under God\u2019s judgment since this event.\u201d<\/p>\nTwenty-one years \u201cbreaks down to 7 x 3, which is a significant number with God,\u201d the Christian preacher said, adding that \u201cthree is perfection as the Godhead is three in one, while seven is perfection.\u201d Carrying his God-Is-Destroying-America theme forward, he said that \u201cjust last August, Hurricane Isaac hit New Orleans seven years later, on the exact day of Hurricane Katrina. Both hit during the week of the homosexual event called Southern Decadence in New Orleans!\u201d<\/p>\n
McTernan\u2019s website statement also said, \u201cIt appears that God gave America 21 years to repent of interfering with His prophetic plan for Israel; however, it has gotten worse under all the presidents and especially Obama. Obama is 100 percent behind the Muslim Brotherhood, which has vowed to destroy Israel and take Jerusalem.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy, \u201cthere was an incredible heatwave and drought that destroyed massive amounts of the crops\u201d in America, McTernan\u2019s statement notes. \u201cThis drought has not let up and now covers about 65 percent of the country.”<\/p>\n
The drought, he said, \u201ctriggered record forest fires in the West. If you add the area of the drought and now the hurricane together, it would be about 80 percent of the country! As I said, the Holy God of Israel is systematically destroying America right before our eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Christian preacher\u2019s statement ends with a lament: \u201cWith all of this, there is almost zero repentance by the church: zero! The fear of God has disappeared from His people. The church in America is now EXACTLY like ancient Israel before the Babylonians destroyed them. Both ancient Israel and the modern American church completely lost the fear of God.\u201d<\/p>\n
Can all of this be true? It probably is true that many millions of people have \u201clost the fear of God\u201d — but is this bad? And can it be true that God is punishing human beings, systematically destroying an entire nation, for committing offenses against the Lord?<\/p>\n
This is exactly the opposite of what The New Spirituality, as represented in the message of the 9 texts in the Conversations with God <\/em>cosmology, tells us. It is why I launched, with the creation of Humanity\u2019s Team, a \u201ccivil rights movement for the Soul, freeing humanity at last from the oppression of its beliefs in a violent, angry, and vindictive God.\u201d<\/p>\nThe challenge now facing humanity: thought is creative…and collective thought, all pointing in the same direction, is highly<\/em> creative…leading to the intriguing question: What is <\/em>creating the disasters befalling not just America, but the whole human race in these days and times? Is it a violent, angry, and vindictive God, or our belief<\/em> in a violent, angry, and vindictive God?<\/p>\nAre the billions of people who continue to persistently believe in a God of retribution producing a force field — a vortex, if you will — that is generating exactly the kind of negative and destructive energy that could create a self-fulfilling prophecy?<\/p>\n
If positive thinking is powerful and produces results, is negative thinking just as powerful?<\/p>\n
If Collective Consciousness produces Collective Experience, might it be time to change our Collective Consciousness?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
