You can pray all you want but it ain't going to change until the new heaven and the new earth.

The wickedness of man will continue and grow and grow and grow. And neither you or anyone else can stop it outside of God and He's not going to do anything until He returns.

Your post reveals the hideous side of dispensationalism. How often, in the history of God's people, does an ideology come along that transforms a love for Jesus into a desire to see bad things happen to one's neighbor? Granted, dispensationalism is more passive than the Inquisition, or the witch burnings, which tormented the bodies of men in order to do their souls good. The dispensational program for world transformation is -- get the popcorn, pull up a lawn chair, and watch the train wreck.

Being as my male equipment is still intact, I am hard-wired to expect more out of life than passive acquiescence to evil. Some may rejoice in being unpaid cheerleaders for the other team. That can be discouraging for those who are actually in the field, engaging the opposition, and making a difference for the glory of God. When those who are allegedly on our side boo us from the bleachers, and egg on the other team.

And for the record, a true reformation is underway in the USA. There are literally millions of families here, today, that do not render unto Caesar that which is God's. Who do not support the adoration of the Moloch state with offerings far more precious than money, the hearts, minds, and souls of their children. History is shaped by minorities that stand firm in their faith, and who expect to make a difference in the world.

Many of us have been robbed of hope. Satan has used vile and demonic doctrines to deprive us of our sense of adventure, of transcendent purpose, of the desire to "expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God." Dispensationalism permits only various modes of spiritual masturbation (e.g. Todd Bentley's circus) as a consolation prize for all that it calls upon us to surrender.
