On his “Washington Watch” radio program yesterday, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins once again chatted with a caller who wanted to discuss Jonathan Cahn’s book about the spiritual implications of the Shemittah.

After the caller said that the Supreme Court’s recent marriage equality decision is weakening “the hedge of protection coming across us,” Perkins readily agreed that God will lift His protective hand from the U.S. as a result of gay people getting married.

“Absolutely, absolutely,” Perkins replied, adding that with the Obergefell ruling, we “put ourselves in a very vulnerable position” just like in “1973 when the court basically said it’s open season on the unborn, there were consequences to that and I believe it’s a part of removing God’s hand of protection upon a nation.”
