It’s NEVER too late for prayer.
Something I think some here are forgetting: This did NOT come as a surprise to God. He didn’t say “Oh, dear...I didn’t see this coming!”.
Something was pointed out to me this morning: In the end times, NOWHERE in the Bible does it mention any country that even closely resembles the US. I really and truly believe that America IS going to fall and will NOT be a player in the end times.
This may indeed be a waypoint to the end and the return of the Lord Jesus. If so, I say “Come, Lord Jesus!”
Think about it...either we die (naturally or by persecution) and go to Heaven, or we are raptured and go to Heaven. In either case, where are we? Heaven! With Jesus! Where is the losing side in this scenario? There isn’t one!
Sure...it’s gonna suck while we’re here, but remember that this isn’t all there is. The best we can do as believers is pray, love God, love people, and life the life God has called us to live.
The Bible doesn’t mention a lot of countries, nowhere does the Bible attempt to list every country that exists at the end times.
That's because all those self anointed prophets/profits are blind and deaf. America is the nation gathered out of the nations, separated literally by two oceans and spiritually by the inate character of her design. That is, in these days, the representative of the HOUSE of JOSEPH, i.e. House of Israel i.e. Ephraim. A double ash heap of double blessing fruitfulness:
Ephraim = "double ash-heap: I shall be doubly fruitful"
(ref. Strong's Hebrew #669)
Well put!
“Something was pointed out to me this morning: In the end times, NOWHERE in the Bible does it mention any country that even closely resembles the US. I really and truly believe that America IS going to fall and will NOT be a player in the end times.”
We are already in the end times, and America is mentioned though not by it’s name. America is the Babylon described in the bible, who’s desolation will be swift, and permanent.
It’s frightening because, God said there be no discernible remnants of our existence once that desolation comes. And in ONE HOUR it shall be, He said. America, has been a “player” in this since the beginning. Particularly so that God was the One who Blessed America to be what it is. There is no other country like America...even in her darkest hour. But rebellion has overtaken it’s people, and is governed by the principalities of this world.
There could not have been a more stark warning from God that this would take place had we turned our backs on Him, and the Truth. But it’s only going to suck for those in rebellion to God...the reason for the judgements as of late. There is no losing for us. With or without our heads. We WIN. God removes the sting of Death. So, remain faithful to God and don His armor continually.
