There will need to be a revolution but not necessarily one with physical armies like 1776.
It will need to be a gospel revolution.
Except for some sparks of life here and there, Christian faith in America has gotten weak and disheveled. The tribulation of a nice life of idols proved to be too much for those who had historically held this faith.
And this is how God does house cleaning. By letting evil, and that includes weakness and misdirection of faith, frustrate itself and its practitioners perish or become poor. Then God steps up with a message of divine salvation and it will generally be accepted, unless the situation is as far gone as a Sodom. Which in spite of long unprecedented rampancy of homosexuality in America today, hasn’t come close to happening yet (remember, an entire town sought to gang bang Lot’s angelic guests). (The “gay” crisis today is, I believe, a judgment on the widespread, if not absolutely universal, preaching and teaching of a weak gospel that is not up to helping these people out of their evil practices.)
Anyhow. I’ve gotten grief from a lot of people who say resurgence of faith is impossible. I say they are nuts and the Father seconds it. But it will need to be from new missions here. Most of the old churches are not, at least yet, up to the task.
I just don't know how to express strong enough how I believe HiTech RedNeck is absolutely correct!
Our nation has come to the point where is it will be impossible to elect a conservative government. The moochers now out-number the producers and the elite are too powerful, even controlling the media so that even most of the "conservative leaning" people and all of the sheeple never hear the truth. The Constitution (basis of our entire government system) is being trampled upon. The President can outright lie and not fear impeachment. And being realistic, if we were to fight with guns it is doubtful we could win and even if we did, at what cost would that be? Our numbers would be devastated and the moochers would still exist afterwards.
As pessimistic as all that may sound, I still have great hope and faith that there is a way out of this mess. The way out is deeply rooted in historical presidence (read the Old Testament). America became a great nation against all odds because of faith in an Almighty God and because our government's philosophy was based on this faith and the teachings of Christianity. How can we expect God to allow America to continue when we, as a nation and as a people, turn away from him?
So again I repeat what HiTech RedNeck said so elegantly..... "It will need to be a gospel revolution."
