As America continues in its death spiral, Americans will not let go of their godless bent and self willed passions (Gal. 5:19-21, 1 Tim 4:1-4, 2 Tim 3:1-7, 2 Thess. 2:10-12). Whether one be a left wing progressive or a squishy moderate or even a conservative, all seek an existence here in this fallen world apart from a saving relationship to Almighty God which is found in Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12, Rom.1:18-32, 10:4).
Almighty God is already allowing this nation to reap the horrific lawless consequences from our nation's unrighteous doings.
It is my personal belief that Almighty God is already allowing this nation to reap the horrific lawless consequences from our nation's unrighteous doings. How can anyone not see that Almighty God has already given us over to our base and lawless desires, has taken down our nation's protective hedge and given us leaders who hate and despise Him and our Judeo/Christian founding (Isa. 3:1-7, 2 Tim. 3:1-7). When America finally does imploded - which has been this world's restraint of evil for the last 239 years - that the dam holding back the world's lawlessness will break and the global flood of HORRIFIC tribulation will commence (Rev. 6-16).
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
DJP I.F
Zechariah Chapter 12
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
...in progress....
Yes. “God gave them over....” certainly is the most accurate description of what is happening in our nation, Obama’s being elected twice being prima facie evidence.
There is and can be no political solution to our nation’s current state, and conservatives are so wrong to think that there is. The four leading Repub candidates certainly won’t change our nation’s core condition - the overt rejection of God.
II Chronicles 7:14 is the only solution. Or, divine intervention.
[3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.]
It does seem the world is going mad and attacking Israel and Christiandom like never before as God has given them over to the madness of their minds and hearts.
My belief is that we are seeing latter day prophecies being enacted to bring the nations against Israel to destroy her and where God will purge the nations of their evildoers after the translation of the body of Christ, the church. It is a comfort to know He will take us out before the tribulation and how the Father will begin the 7 year period of His indignation before the return of Christ to bring in the 1000 year rule of Jesus Christ on the earth, as the Holy Scriptures teach all who believe and read His Word to the saved.
I Th.4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
This deserves repeating (with my emphasis on the word, NO):
“There is and can be NO political solution to our nation’s current state, and conservatives are so wrong to think that there is. The four leading Repub candidates certainly won’t change our nation’s core condition - the overt rejection of God.”
Rev 3:11 I am coming quickly hold fas what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
It is a comfort to know He will take us out before the tribulation
1) The above is very appealing to our ears, but not necessarily true. He promised to be with us as we go through trials and tribulations.
2) What is the MAJOR message of every prophecy? We like to focus on the details because it puts us “in the know” We argue the details. We can handle the details, but not the big message.
What was the common message:
the OT prophets?
John the Baptist?
Jesus?
to the seven churches in Revelation?
The totalitarian powers in America could not prevail unless they motivated American adultery and betrayal. Thus adultery, abortion, homosexuality and all those betrayals for secular materialist or messianic islamist cults habe lead America down a path of self hate and surrender to pimps and enemy barbarians.
America has turned away from God and now we are reaping the rewards of it. Until or unless we rid ourselves from the Godless force that has taken over we will will not prosper.
Dare I say that before America turned away from God, the church did?
And I’m not referring to the liberal church. I’m referring to the “evangelical, conservative” church. How so?
By being as worldly as the world - especially leadership - who looks no different from the world’s leadership - seeking power, position, authority, fame and MONEY......men seeking to build their own kingdoms (e.g., the megachurch)
- all the way down to those men who feel called as “Pastors” to start their own little church (one a day I suspect, just in USA) - because no one has ever “done church right”, but they, in their puny arrogance, do know how, and they are gonna show the world how it should be done.
As the leaders have gone, so have the congregations - looking no different than the world - all focused on themselves and “building” their local church- which is really just a Christian club.
Judgment begins with the house of God - and until we Christians repent, how dare we call the world to repent.......
