So are you suggesting that God began removing his 'hands' on 9/11, using the snake cult to begin punishing innocents for the 'sins' of the few? If there were no Baptists in the Twin Towers on that day I'd be inclined to see some substance in what you are saying.
AMEN, Free Baptist. The time is coming, sooner than we think.

Civil enough thus far - let it so remain. There are also plenty of examples in G_d's Holy Word of Him having stayed his hand of judgment, or alternatively, refrained from removing his hand of blessing if you prefer.
Not least among these is Nineveh, which underwent the greatest revival recorded in scripture when everyone from the high King to the lowly stable mucking workers humbled themselves before their Lord in sackcloth and ashes, repented of their wickedness, and begged forgiveness.
Jonah, recall, was not amused. Rather he was angered because he did not understand the depth of the Father's mercy and capacity to forgive, thus there came to Jonah the vine for shelter, the withering of the same under a relentless hot, dry wind, and the object lesson.
I know not all on FR believe the same; I see each year of legalised medical murder since Roe v. Wade as a holocaust and an affront to G_d. There are other things in our American society/culture (and that of other western "Christian" nations as well) which I believe deeply offend Him as they do me. Just one example is the state sponsored celebration of homosexual perversity. But that is just one more example of sin at work in this world, rotting and decaying away the fundaments upon which we tread.
It is equally a fact that there are folk in the US and other countries who are standing (as best as they humanly can) for Biblical righteousness, and against the sinful and libertine behaviour which you (FB) and others decry.
This confrontation is clearly foretold in the Word. My belief and understanding is that both evil, and the righteousness of those who are reserving their place in G_d's kingdom, become more sharply pronounced in their contrast of absolutes as the endtimes of this earth draw to a crescendo in their prophetic expressions. That is what I see now without question.
The casualties/victims of the epic confrontation between the spiritual principalities could be accurately said to reflect the consequences of sin and its effect upon this world (IMO).
That the world still lives and breathes, and has neither been destroyed nor destroyed itself reflects nothing less than G_d's Providence and Mercy.
