Terry Cooper: So what about America? Have we passed the point of no return? I do not know. I do know that we serve the same God that declared judgment on Judah and Jerusalem—for idolatry and the shedding of innocent blood.
God would say to those in our nation who flaunt their wickedness, “Am I the one you are hurting?” They hurt themselves to their own shame. Why? Because there is a point of no return with God. A point beyond which God says, “Do not intercede with prayer. Do not weep for them anymore, for I will not listen to them when they cry out to me in distress” (Jeremiah 11:14).
Even holy men like Noah, Daniel and Job can’t intercede. Fasting won’t work. Jeremiah 14:11 tells us: “And when they fast, I will pay no attention. And when they present their burnt offerings and grain offerings to me, I will not accept them. Instead, I will devour them with war, famine, and disease.”

Our government seems to be promoting the very sins that brought down the nation of Judah. Everything seems to be falling apart.
