2) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
The curses that will fall on them; for these, they can't prepare.
Through millenia of history, and in effect today.
The world abhors the Divine Words, that The Lord does say.
3) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Instead of wheat out in the field; God sees them as a tare.
Worth nothing more to be cut down, and cast into the fire.
To all these who forsake The Lord, preferring sin's desire.
4) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
The first words that God gave, Advice that He did share.
''I'll bless them who bless you, and a curse on all the rest.
And all nations who bless you, they will be truly blessed''.
5) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
If they won't hearken to The Lord; to His Words, don't care.
The first curse on the cities, with crime far and wide.
It'll seem that evil deeds, are there on every side.
6) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Thumb their noses at The Lord; His anger, they do, dare.
The second curse there will be, on the economy.
Prices so expensive now; all high cost and fee.
7) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
As each curse will fall on them, they'll cry that God's not fair.
The third curse there, futures market, of animals and crops.
The flood of wealth they thought they'd get, will be just a drop.
8) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
They continue falling for, iniquity's evil snare.
The fourth curse is diplomacy; their enemies, do sneer.
Mocking, threatening, nations now; all these have no fear.
9) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Just like sudden illnesses, when on mankind, they flare.
Incurable diseases, plagues, for which there is no cure.
All because they spurned The Lord; their deeds are so impure.
10) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Famine covers all the land, and farming mile, square.
Droughts and dust bowls everywhere; can't buy a drop of rain.
Many starving, for they know, fullness of hunger pain.
11) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
The boasting of one's forces are, a whole mess of hot air.
From other countries' militaries, a nations armies, flee.
And, the enemies are chortling, with unbridled glee.
12) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
The family unit is destroyed, relationships don't care.
Shacking up, adultery, divorces are the rule.
True marriage laughed at; it is scorned, said ''it's just for fools''.
13) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
The wealth of nations, God removes; no one's account is spared.
Bankruptcies now everywhere, creditors swarm down.
Taking all that debtors have; their possessions and their town.
14) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
The generation of the youth; toward God, they don't care.
Hating parents, morals, rules, that The Lord, decreed.
The kids feel that all these, are things that they don't need.
15) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Sowed the wind, reaped whirlwind; to God, there is no prayer.
Illegal citizens prosper, at country's expense.
For these robbers crashing down, there is no defense.
16) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Formerly a lender nation, it's blessings it did share.
Now a debtor nation there, just like all the rest.
Because they cursed The Lord Of Hosts, they're no longer blessed.
17) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Four effects now manifest, the cost of sinful snare.
Patriotism is now gone, and there's widespread death.
Wealth is gone; with porn and filth, there on every breath.
18) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
As they see God's Judgment fall, they are running, scared.
The nations of Earth, are now past, point of no return.
With righteous fire, God will make, all these nations, burn.
19) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Like baskets there of rotten food, and all that was prepared.
Though watchmen on the wall did warn, judgment at the door.
Advice from The Lord Of Hosts, sinful man, abhorred.
20) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Even Israel, The Promised Land, God's Judgment wasn't spared.
For The Lord God, He does not, show partiality.
One day before Him, all will bow, there on bended knee.
21) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Lost their temple and the land, when God's Judgment wasn't spared.
Wandering Jew, through history, now back there in their Land.
Never again to be dispersed, protected by God's Hand.
22) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
For The Lord, He Made The Rules; sin will be laid bare.
For to whom much is given, much will be required.
Every deed, word, to be known; and what all transpired.
23) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Satan's forces hate mankind; destruction there, prepared.
The wicked shall be turned to Hell, that do The Lord, forget.
And, the nations share that fate; judgment hard, you bet.
24) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
After Rapture, Tribulation; nothing before, compared.
Not one country will escape, life on Earth, pure Hell.
Many die eternally, their judgment, never quelled.
25) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Twenty one plagues slam the world; judgment isn't spared.
When The Lord returns to Earth, in Glory there to reign.
Rebels to eternal doom, and never ending pain.
26) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
Even in Millennium; with sin, no one will dare.
Christ rules all with a rod of iron; while blessings, many gain.
Nations that don't worship Him, they will receive no rain.
27) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
A thousand years of peace now end, the joy one can't compare.
One last rebellion rises up, from those with sin's desire.
Destroyed quickly by The Lord, with Heaven's Righteous Fire.
28) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
But one day, that will be no more; as present Earth not spared.
After final judgment there, of The Great White Throne.
As Christ sends to the fire, all the souls, that He has never known.
29) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
New Heavens And New Earth One Day; the evil lands, nowhere.
Joy is now with the redeemed, for eternity.
All who did reject The Lord; of these, no memory.
30) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
You say that this applies to countries; why should I even care?
For if you want to go to Heaven, you must from sin repent.
And Believe Upon The Lord; The One Whom God Has Sent.
31) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
But once you're saved, The Gospel Truth, with mankind, now share.
Pray for peace of Jerusalem, serving Christ, it's clear.
For when you least expect it, friend; in Rapture, He'll appear.
32) When Nations Turn Their Back On God, And On His Laws All There;
It's appointed all to die; are you friend, prepared??
Like nations there, spurning God, and The Lord Of Hosts.
Eternal choice, that you one day, will regret the most.
