There is a true story of three young people who thought it would be funny to cover up a stop sign at a four-way stop just to see what might happen. Soon enough, they found out because one driver drove straight through and broadsided another car carrying three other innocent teenagers who were instantly killed.
If the law would have been obeyed and the sign left standing, three teenagers would still be alive today and a 15-year sentence would have not been served for each guilty offender. These consequences could have all been avoided if these rebel teenagers had not messed with the law that was put in place for the good of all (Psalm 19:11). It sounds much like what the Lord is conveying to America today. The problem is that Americans are not listening (Exodus 16:28; Jeremiah 5:31), and because of their refusal to take heed to the signs (The Bible - US Constitution), there will be consequences.
“Now, therefore, hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.
