Of course the Lord will save us from the 2nd death. I am NOT talking about that; I mean God's wrath will be poured on America in THIS life.
Not only do I not blaspheme, I am a follower of Christ and very knowledgeable of His Word. Anyone who reads the OT knows that God let Israel have it (in this life) for repeatedly disobeying him. Twice, three times (one somewhat limited) Israel went into captivity for this.
Other countries (Sodom and Gomorrah, the Hittites, etc) got the wrath of God for doing EXACTLY what is done in any large city in America today.
America had a good foundation, but as a nation, we lost our way and disobeyed God on a massive scale. His wrath does not sleep. Christians may be saved from the 2nd death, but this country is entirely deserving of His wrath in this life. And if what was done to Israel and other nations in the OT was any guide, we're next.
ALL people are deserving of “wrath in this life.” You too!
But if that’s all God ever did, that would leave Him with a piss poor witness, pardon my French.
God can see what’s under the surface; you can’t. You see externals. I have had enough spiritual experience to sense a deep undercurrent of redemption in the land, in spite of the troubles it is groaning under, even self inflicted troubles. This current could well spring forth on America, showing in mercy again. And then what will you do, with your certainty of doom? I hope you will admit (with gladness!) that you were wrong. And in the meantime reserve judgment and pray for the best, lest you find yourself cheering for the wrong team in this fight.
So yes. I stick by my assertion that you yet blaspheme. You sell God short on His redemption side. That’s like jeering at the Cross.
Oh, also your Sodom/Gomorrah example is cockamamie, by the numbers at least.
Don’t you remember that little dialogue between Abraham (forefigurer of Christ, incidentally) and God? Yeahhhh!!!
Sodom was SO rotten that God got the few people who would repent, out of there. Then came the brimstone. (We are not told of their eternal fates, and that is irrelevant. It served as visible illustration, and the bible says so.)
I’m not dealing in “second death” here. I’m dealing in God’s witness, His bragging rights of goodness, right here in this sad world. When He chooses to redeem, do not fight Him! You will get crushed if you do.
