Something is coming (Editorial)
Flashtrafficblog Joel C. Rosenberg Blog ^ | 20 Jun 15 | Joel Rosenberg

Posted on 06/22/2015 5:17:22 PM PDT by SkyPilot

Something is coming. I don’t know what. But we must be ready. Here’s the key question: Is America heading towards a terrible implosion or a great awakening?

I feel a tremendous sense of urgency about this column.

The United States is hurtling towards severe trouble, and the events of the past few months — and what may be coming over the next few months — grieves me a great deal.

Something is coming. I don’t know what. But we all must be ready in every possible way.

Consider where we are in the summer of 2015:

•Violence is exploding in our cities, schools and churches. The horrific mass murder inside the church in Charleston would be bad enough if it wasn’t just one of innumerable mass killings that have become epidemic in America.

•Racism is tearing us apart, and it appears things are getting worse, not better.

•The Supreme Court is poised to rule any day now on the definition and future of marriage — and if the Court rules against Biblical marriage I believe this could cause the Lord’s hand to turn against our country in a severe and profound way according to the moral laws found in Romans chapter one.

•Abortions are occurring at more than one million in year and have put America on the fast track to judgment. Since 1973, Americans have murdered 57 million children through abortions. The blood of 57 million babies is crying out for justice, and they will get it in God’s sovereign timing. Could that be soon?

•If all this wasn’t bad enough, marriages and families are imploding all around us. Poverty is growing. Drug and alcohol use is epidemic. And that’s just here at home.

•Abroad, Iran is closing in on The Bomb.

[After reading this thread skypilot, you are the modern Noah - building the Ark while being ridiculed. Weren’t those folks surprised when it started raining.

I too believe there’s a storm coming. Old Sarge is spot on with his advice. I’ve already done it. I’ve moved way out into the country. I’m part a small but well trained and well armed group.]

Yep

Thanks. Hard to believe that was five years ago. President Trump gave us temporary hope. I think God put President Trump in office in order to bless Israel. But now? I know what’s going to happen according to the Bible. I just don’t know when. The truth of the matter is that America is in big, big, big trouble. We won’t survive as a nation at this rate. Not for long.

What I feel in my spirit right now is that something terrible is going to happen between now and December.

I’m just wondering if the Lord is going to use President Trump because you know Iran’s mullahs are up to no good.

President Trump already gave the go-ahead to take out General SolelySalami. Probably saved countless lives right there.

Keep praying and looking up. It’s about all we can do, it seems.

And we keep telling others.

In 2015 the deep state was planning Hillary’s presidency.

A prominent conspiracy theory holds that the plan was for nuclear war using North Korea as a pawn.

These days, conspiracy theories are consistently proving themselves destined to become conspiracy facts.

My wife and I have been debating paying off our mortgage versus putting money in the markets.

Putting money in the market when it is at its high? Definitely not a good idea.

Thanks for the ing to this thread.

It’s interesting to read it opnow from a six years down the road perspective.

The things we feared then are now playing out before our eyes.

(The things we feared then are now playing out before our eyes)

Sure seems like it. The god of this world has the planet locked down and ready to track people.

I don’t think so either.

At best, one of the “young lions” in Ezekiel 38.

W.B. Yeats

The Second Coming

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart;
the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming!
Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight:

somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Joni Mitchell put the verses of W.B. Yeats "The Second Coming" into a song. It's quite good and the sirens at the end really set an apocalyptic mood. I like to play this around Christmastime with the lights turned down.

Makes me wonder if he’s already arrived and is just off stage.

So he can confirm that 7-year peace deal when it happens.

And then, the unbelievers shall proclaim “Peace and Security”.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Revised Standard Version

5 But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 When people say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness. 6 So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. 7 For those who sleep sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But, since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

Things are happening quickly

As expected

As prophesied

The hour is very late indeed
