I would imagine that you’d likely know better than to imagine that I’d think that to the tiniest degree.
IF THOSE WORDS DID NOT PARTICULARLY REFER TO THE END TIMES—as in the birth pangs level, part, era that will increasingly transition into the GREAT TRIBULATION . . . ,
what might you imagine would have been their purpose
OTHERWISE???
Lots of pagans sound much more alert to the END TIMES goings on and Biblical truths about the same than some of the “Christians” hereon.
Shocking.
IMHO, it might be more likely that God, in His grace, might discipline a nation in advance of the Great Tribulation, as a reminder to the rest of the world of Who He really Is.
The US has degenerated by several generations in our thinking from what we were a century ago. That degeneration has picked up momentum and will likely take something in the way of discipline to shake us up out of acquiescence to corruption in our souls. There are too many Americans who simply live by what is right in their own minds, opposing those who think nothing matters, and both have different agendas. Very few live by virtue in this generation.
Where wee tempt to influence other peoples to also degenerate further from God by faith in Christ, we simply invite national discipline upon ourselves.
