Southern Evangelical Seminary president Richard Land was a guest on TheDove TV a few weeks ago, where he declared that America’s current political leadership is a sign that God’s judgment is now upon this nation.

Land, who once called President Obama “a judgment of God on the United States,” said that just as God heaped His judgment upon the nation of Israel, so too is He willing to punish America and is, in fact, doing so right now.

“I believe He is judging the United States of America,” Land said. “I don’t believe that you can kill 56 million babies in child sacrifice through abortion and not expect that God won’t judge the nation. I believe we’re in the state we’re in today because of the judgment of God. I get asked all the time, ‘Where is the next Abraham Lincoln? Where is the next Ronald Reagan? Where is the next Billy Graham?’ Well, my answer is great political and spiritual leadership in our country is a sign of God’s blessing; its absence is a sign of God’s judgment.”
