The Curse On A Fatherless Nation!

 The Curse On A Fatherless Nation!

Malachi 4:5-6

“Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the Great and Dreadful Day of The LORD. And He Will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

Four hundred years later JESUS said He came to bring division between family members, Matthew 10:34-39.

Many teach that John The Baptist fulfilled the Malachi passage, but JESUS showed that it was not fulfilled yet and it cannot be fulfilled, I believe, until Elijah returns to the earth. This passage refers to The Great And Dreadful Day of The LORD, JESUS’ birth, life, death and resurrection was the Great and Glorious Time of GOD’s Grace. The Great and Dreadful Day of The LORD happens when JESUS returns to Jerusalem to rule over the nations for 1000 years. (Revelation 11; 14:14-20; 16:17-21; 19:1-20:6 these describe that day.)

In Isaiah it refers to the one who will come as the spirit of Elijahmessanger to prepare the way of the messiah, when asked about this JESUS said if they could receive it John The Baptist had fulfilled this prophecy (Isaiah 40). But this passage refers to The Great and Terrible Day of The LORD, not JESUS’ birth. When Elijah and Moses visited JESUS on the mount of transfiguration that also did not fulfill Malachi 4:5-6. They spoke to JESUS of His coming crucifixion, Luke 9:26-36, verse 31 “...who appeared in glory and spoke of His death which He was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.”

In The Bible we only see one example of the father and sons united in purpose for more than one generation, Jacob and his sons, they all stayed together and helped each other. There are no other examples in Scripture, in fact from the beginning the devil has caused separation between father and sons, Adam and Cain after he killed his brother Able. Even Noah and his sons after the flood there was division and as they grew into communities and nations they divided against each other.

Only Jacob’s sons remained together after their father died and GOD made them into the nation of Israel, still a united nation today after all they have been through.

They are the example to the world and the world hates them because the devil does not want the unity of father and sons. He has been trying to destroy the relationship of fathers and sons from the beginning.

Now the task has been given to the Church, those who believe in JESUS CHRIST as the Redeeming Son of GOD. But we have been and are failing at it. Even in The Church we see very little of the unity of the father and his sons. That is one of the reasons there is no power in the Church.

The devil has perverted societies, governments and nations to strip fathers of their GOD given responsibility and authority, to destroy the nuclear family so that he can destroy the following generations of children.

The Church is not discipling nations because we are busy stealing each other’s congregations. We should be evangelizing the lost and ministering to families to heal and restore them. We will not see the curse of the devil removed from our nation until we, the Believers in JESUS have evangelized it and seen it converted and discipled into GOD’s Kingdom on the earth.

We, the Believes in JESUS CHRIST have to stop paying attention to our church’s, organization’s or denomination’s doctrine and philosophy and we must start reading, studying and meditating on The Bible, asking The Holy Spirit to teach us and remind us what JESUS said and did. This is what will bring unity to the Church and see fatherhood restored to its Biblical status. Then the curse of a fatherless nation will be lifted from our nation.
