Have heard it said the USA as we know it doesn’t appear to exist at the time of the end-time prophecies. What will have happened to her?
Hard to say. The 9/11 2001 attack on the twin towers by Osama Bin Laden is in a Bible skip letter code, so we know YHWH is aware we exist. The attack on “unwalled villages” in Ezekiel 38 could be the US as a type of Isreal of the Gentiles. Or it could be as simple as an economic collapse makes the US irrelevant. Just get right with YHWH and you will be OK.
Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. I have the Polkinghorne book headed to my Kindle as I write.
Here is my “Bottom Line Up Front” as we used to say in Government PowerPoint. ;-)
During the Twentieth Century Anno Domini (AD) mathematicians proved that there are ordinary truths within relatively simple logical and numerical systems that cannot be proven within those systems. Physicists observed that there were fundamental limits to the precision of simultaneously measuring related physical quantities. The inescapable conclusion is that it is impossible for us to discover a Universal Theory of Everything (UToE) by observing and reasoning about the observed universe.
The only way that we, as human beings, can understand the universe, let alone our place in it, is to have the Creator of the Universe (CotU) tell us what we need to know. The premise of this document is that the CotU has given us what we need to know about His creation in the form of the Holy Scriptures of the Hebrews and the Christians. The fundamental plan is laid out in the Tanach (also known as (aka) the Old Testament), but this document contains some mysteries. The mysteries within the Tanach are revealed in the Renewed Covenant (aka New Testament) writings that make up the second part of the Christian Bible. The Renewed Covenant itself contains some things that are specifically not revealed, perhaps to remind us that we are incapable of knowing and understanding all things.
In a more mathematical sense, the Holy Scriptures are a projection (aka mapping) into our world of the CotUs plan for the evolution of His creation from the beginning to the end. What is called Bible Prophecy does not come true because the CotU knows what is going to happen. Bible Prophecy comes true because it is a mapping from the actual plan (aka The Word) that makes things happen in the universe that we experience.
This work is directed to those who think of themselves as rational human beings who revere Science, but do not yet believe in the Holy Scriptures as a literal representation of the universe and our place in it. It is also designed as a comfort to those who do believe in the Holy Scriptures, but are constantly attacked as naive about science by those who do not.
Lol! thanks for helping my rememberer!
Since the 1973 Roe v. Wade things have really gotten worse. Since then we have never won a war, before then we never lost one. With Obama we finally got Isaiah 3:4-5 I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. The people will be oppressed, everyone by another and every one by his neighbor; The child will be insolent toward the elder and the base to the honorable.

The above is so true.
I read it and it really resonates. My thought was, and Trump is what we get as a punishment. Trump, Sanders or Clinton? Yeah, we really have been horrible.
And the Dominion thing. I read the link, thanks for it.
I found it to be essentially a left wing spin of Christianity in the US distorted to look bad, like some boogeyman.
If this is what the boogeyman Dominionism is, then it seems to simply be the normal workings of US up until the 60’s revolution.
It’s wrong to put so much faith in any one man, especially a politican. No one man can save us or save America.
I see people putting so much stock and faith in to Trump and there are going to be a lot of people let down.

Well, if you support anyone else in this race, you won’t be disappointed. They will continue to screw you at every turn.
