MOAB HAS BEEN AT EASE FROM HIS YOUTH....HE HAS SETTLED ON HIS DREGS AND HAS NOT BEEN EMPTIED FROM VESSEL TO VESSEL NOR HAS HE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY THEREFORE HIS TASTE REMAINED IN HIM AND HIS SCENT HAS NOT CHANGED....

JEREMIAH 48:11            (Analogically Speaking)

● "Moab has been at ease from his youth"......

Often we hear Australia being called 'the lucky country' well we all know there is no such creature called 'luck'.

We are either blessed or cursed creatures...amen? Moab was an ancient kingdom before Israel who enjoyed good living, wanted for nothing, was surrounded by powerful neighbours and compared with other countries was small....kind of a lucky country, what ya reckon?


● "He has settled on his dregs and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel".

Moab changed not for nothing, never really did Moab ever have any serious unsettlings in comparison to Israel. And the same with the 'luck country-Australia', compared with the third world, middle east etc.

As wine settles on the dregs not racked off or drawn off by which it retains its strength and body. Even so, the Church in Australia and Australia itself has been unruffled, unquestioned, without change, dormant. And God Almighty has been one big teddy bear, who is dictated to by a nation of unGodly, ungrateful, unbelieving, unloving hypocrites who think because they are part of an organisation, have social acceptance, the favour of men and the malpractices of the majority behind them that they are going to enter the .....New Jerusalem...I can't see how.....Proverbs 8:17.

A BURNING LIGHT DENOTES SINCERITY, PAINTED FIRE MAY BE MADE TO SHINE BUT THAT WHICH BURNS IS TRUE FIRE...............M. Henry.
 

● "Nor has he gone into captivity".....

Moab never received the treatment that Israel had to put up with. Yet Moab was an Idolatrous Nation. Yes, that's right, just like Australia and just like the church in Australia right now.....Idolatrous!....idolatry, witchcraft, rebellion and stubbornness are all of the same family........1 Samuel 15:23.

Rebellion and his/her family bring not liberty but captivity and the church is being held 'captive' this very day by rebellion and his/her family. The country of Moab rested on it's dregs and drew all it's strength from these dregs, like unracked wine sits upon sediment. Moab, like Australia was secure and sensual in its prosperity.

● "His taste remained in him and he did not change".....

Like Moab, Australia, the church can't go on ignoring the Almighty's Requests, we have come down to the dregs, the lees, the sediment in this country. There may appear and I do say 'appear' to be prosperity here and there in this nation and in the church and this may well be true but if the people of this nation do not repent .. saved and unsaved alike, this little prosperity will be "Blown Away"!...Haggai 1:9B...Selah....click.

This whole message to Moab, to Australia, to the Church, is to awaken the people not only to 'personal repentance but also to National repentance' to prevent their destruction, whether it be spiritual, physical, financial or eternal ...1 Samuel 15:22B

Traditions step aside, patriotism step aside, peddlers of God's word step aside, Yahweh is going to ruffle a few feathers, question a few stewards and change a few plans...Psalm 33:10.
