Sadly, I have been thinking this the last little while as well, Spirit.
I know it’s not terribly uplifting, but going through persecution, not being able to buy or sell without the “mark of the beast”, a one-world order and dictator....scripture tells us about these things.
I remember Lin Wood talking about this at one point as well. He mentioned that he felt God wanted to give America another chance, if you will, for people to turn to Him, etc. This is totally possible, and I sure hope it happens, but this was speculation on his part. The only thing we know for sure is what God tells us through His word. We just don’t know when.
Having said that, I’m recalling 7 years of peace at some point. I’ll have to do some reading tomorrow and get myself refreshed in the prophecy.
It may not even be end times. This summer I was led to reading Jeremiah and Lamentations in the Old Testament.
To me, it seemed to capture more of the current situation.
The good news is that all was rebuilt, but it took horror, devastation and tragedy to turn the people back to God.
