I know that it is difficult to find the US in biblical prophecy, especially in the end times. Could it be that we simply don't exist?

We do exist, take my word for it. And there have been such powerful Christian revivals in America that God can't help but know about us.

Remember, Jesus, and angels in the Bible so often said first off, "Be not afraid." Trust God. And please, don't show your concern on the www. It gives aid and laughter to the hyenas that brought us the WTC disaster. In problems, it is good to grab your Bible, get into it, and don't worry. Trust God for you and your family.

Try Mt 10:29-31 and Jn 14:27 and see if that helps.

[Marysecretary]

Get on the Elijah List for prophetic words from all around the world, especially Dennis Cramer's. America has a future. God is in control of that future. You mustn't let the enemy of your soul put you in fear. You know that's not from God. He has given us a hope and a future! Keep your eyes focussed on Him and not on what's going on around you. You can have peace, HIS peace, in the midst of trial. He will never leave you or forsake you, dear one. You and your children are written on the palm of His hand. It IS a scary time for sure, but it's not the end of the world. Our confidence is in HIM, not the government, not in each other, but in HIM. Get into God's word and find his words of comfort.

Faith is the antidote to Fear.

Pray for more faith.

Please don't worry.The war on terrorism is to protect this country and keep it off our turf. Go back to work and let our good guys handle this. I know our country is strong and can handle this.

[MississippiMan]

I am a Christian but I am still afraid, especially for my young children.

That's understandable, my friend. Pray hard.

[TKEman]

You are doing exactly what the terrorists want you to do. Do your level best to fight these fears. I don't know where you live, but most places I would assume would be safer than here in the Washington, D.C. area, where I live. Hell, I saw the flames coming out of the Pentagon.

[Tall_Texan]

Be alert, not afraid. There is a difference. Christ has said He is sufficient in all things. I also believe that God is soveriegn over life and death (meaning He intends and knows the moment that each of us will die here on earth).

So, as Paul said, if God is with us, who can be against us? God has victory over death and has victory over evil. That doesn't mean that evil will never occur or that death will not happen. Only that we can have peace that neither will ultimately be victorious.

Rather, think of this as a time for God to use you and others to minister about His grace and his plan for salvation. If YOU are afraid, imagine those who do not know Christ?

Pray for inner peace and pray about how God can use your gifts at this time to help others. If you pray sincerely and watch for God's hand, I'm sure He will give you specific answers. He is not unaware. Bless you.

[DallasDeb]

I, too, am afraid. But I try to keeps it in God's perspective. He is in control. Nothing happens that is outside his plan for mankind. We know what the end is. But we will go through tribulations until the beginning of the Great Tribulations. Turn your fears over to the Lord. Ask for his comfort and protection over your children.

[spectre]

Wow, you want a guarantee that you will LIVE past this day? No one can give you that, even in a world of peace.

You are a victim of what this war is all about, that is, TERRORISM. You are afraid, that is what they want you to be. What good does being afraid do anyway?

Trust Yahweh the Father and His Son Yahshua. If you have faith in Them, then you shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Its not healthy to worry. Relax.

[Jonathan and Elizabeth]

If you think that maybe your life is going down the crapper, then I'd be worried about dying, but if you're living the way Yahweh wants you to, why should you be worried about this?

[Hidy]

Are you worried that God might not know what He's doing vis-a-vis the USA?

[Hootowl]

I'm baffled by Christians who worry about this sort of stuff. Did Paul not say that to live was loss and to die was gain? Why should Christians tremble in fear at death? It has lost its sting. For Pete's sake, our REWARD is losing this life and gaining that one! If you're not looking forward to that, no matter who is the agent of the transition, maybe you should examine the depths of your convictions.

Switch from CNN to FOX and you will see less of the beasts that rise from east Chapiqua.

grow up

[katnip]

Your post made me sad and want to cry. I have been afraid too, but am finding myself asking Mary to help me. She always makes me feel better.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

It is time to grow up, for your children, and not look for end times to cheer them up! Do not let panic erase your common sense. You are blessed to live in the most powerful, generous, freedom loving nation ever known on the face of the earth. We are the only nation to have "In God We Trust" printed on our money. It is not God who has forsaken us it is the Liberal News Media feeding distortions into your ears for the last quarter century, the church leaders and their guilty paranoia, following the anti american socialists ( as in the Methodist Church funding the returning of Elian to Castro's Cuba) to do harm in the name of God and good. All led by the President (X42) and his demonic entourage.

God is not punishing anyone, we are defending against evil. The world since the beginning of time has always been about good vs. evil. Also, the truth is that good always wins!

All of us are really concerned for the welfare of our families and our country. Teach your children to be strong, to take responsibility for their actions, to treat others as they would want to be treated, but instill confidence above all else, in the wonderful country they live in.

Do not let the visions of the WTC paralize you with fear. Focus instead on all the lives saved (upwards of 27,000) and the heroism exhibited by the people of NYC and around the world. You and your family will survive, closer and stronger if you face up to the demands made on you. Do not search end time prophecies for an answer there are no answers there. The answers to your fear is within you, your belief, your strength and your love and patriotism. Take a deep breath, thank God, have a drink and relax. The sky really is not falling.

[PaxMacian]

FYI - Be afraid! Praise God! Know the Word!

BIBLE vs. KORAN

I was afraid too. The key is to get out and do something other than watch television. Some posts on FR can have bad effects too, though that doesn't mean I'm for pulling them. Take your kids to the park, or just play games with them. Let them watch their cartoons, and keep away from the news stations. Take a walk and look at all of the American Flags in your neighborhood and take comfort in knowing that your life is in good hands. :)
