I have good news, and bad news. First the good news, from Psalm 33: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.” Now the bad news: God is not pleased with the United States of America. Almighty God is no longer Lord of our nation.

I believe that God has removed His hand of blessing from the USA.
Why would an all powerful God allow this to happen?
When a government tries to remove God from the people’s lives – you open the door to Satan! imho
Weak men bring hard times.
The United States isn't just a single "thing."
The United States is an entity with many unique faces and personalities. Among them:
God, being omniscient and infinite, is not incapable of understanding all the above and much, much more.
yup. most likely near the point when President Kennedy was murdered by our own deep state.
Mentally ill men who think they are women bring really hard times.
Because he isn't a dictator. He created man to be free...and that means free to commit evil acts.
This world is man's making. God didn't make it evil...we did.
I believe this, also. There I still a small window for people to repent, but that window is not staying open forever. We are seeing a demonic darkness and the veil lifted like never before.
“Why would an all powerful God allow this to happen?”
It was our choice.
Some people are extremely repentant...others will never repent.
I don’t agree AT ALL. It is us who turn from God but He will NEVER leave us or forsake us. We are called to repentance and submission to Him and then WE will be restored to His Glory
I agree but I wouldn’t write the US off quite yet. There are millions of good people in this country. So long as religious freedom exists and people can hear and accept and live the gospel, I don’t believe God will destroy this nation. But all bets are off if religious persecution becomes intense enough that people can’t fairly learn and live the gospel.
So do I.
Well said.
Read Romans 1:16-32. The Cliff notes version is that verse 16 has the ideal God wants from us (not afraid of the gospel). But the people Paul was writing about (perhaps Rome, perhaps the Jews, perhaps humanity in general) began to think that God doesn't exist even though it's plan as day He does (verses 18-23).
So God tries to make it clear that He does exist by removing His protective hand from part of our sinful nature until sexual immorality becomes the norm (verse 24). But instead of people going, "Zoink! How did we degrade so far? We need to get back to God", they instead reveled in their hedonism and worshipped other gods (verse 25). So God removed more of His protective hand from our sinful nature until heterosexual immorality became normal (verses 26-27). But that still wasn't enough of a wake-up call to how much we need to acknowledge God (verse 28). So God makes other sins the norm like murder, gossip, strife, deception, malice, disobeying parents, etc. (verses 29-31).
If we want it to end, IMHO we have to win the battle back in verse 18 and re-educate our culture on the existence and love of God. We can't expect a God-denying society to behave with God respecting morals.
Godless nations fall.
I believe he has not.
It is a sad but illuminating fact that our elections now pivot on whether or not a particular candidate favors or disapproves of the barbaric practice of abortion.
