What does God think of "The United Nations"?

What does God think of our making alliances with non Christian nations? Please read Amos 6:14, then read 1 Chron. 2:55, then 2 Kings 10:15 and last read Hosea 1:4.

Amos 6:14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
If you don't understand this verse open and read #1369 from our study of Amos.

Who is Hemath?
Answer -1 Chron. 2:55 And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites (sons of Cain) that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab.

Who did King Jehu make a alliance with?
Answer - 2 Kings 10:15 And when he [Jehu] was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart?  And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

What did God do because of this alliance?
Answer - Hosea 1:4 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

Notice that the LORD has NOT said that He would cause the "children" of the house of Israel to perish or cease. It is only their "kingdom", their national identity as the "House of Israel" with a king reigning over them, that He would take away! Now log unto and read the last 4 paragraphs of pamphlet #1405
