I’ve been pondering for a very long time what will happen to America in the end times. General consensus among most seems to be that she’ll be destroyed or taken over after the Rapture occurs.
However, if the Rapture were to occur right now, I don’t think it would change America much at all. In order for the departure of believers to have any really significant effect on her fate, there would have to be a whole lot more believers.
If Pres. Trump wins in November, that would provide the breathing room needed to grow the numbers. If that comes to pass, THEN the departure of believers would gut the nation. The hollow shell such a departure would leave would quickly shatter, and America would be no more. Sort of like a tooth that’s rotten on the inside, but appears to be white and healthy on the outside. Yet, the tooth breaks unexpectedly when doing something ordinary like biting down on a piece of toast.
Good observation.
You might want to consider what a sudden disappearance of 10 million people would do to the infrastructure. With 330 million in America 10 million would be a small percentage, but these Believers are flying planes, driving the delivery vehicles feeding large cities with no production of food capabilities, servicing the water and electricity deliveries, and dealing with health issues. ... And I am convinced there is a much larger percentage of Believers, all of whom will be suddenly transformed and departed. God mad HIS Salvation so easy it is ONLY operant by faith in Whom He sent, with no list of works added. Period.
Jesus said we would be persecuted in ALL nations for His sake. For some reason, Americans think we are exempt from persecution. When the Communists began persecuting Christians in Russia, the average church went from 300 to 15 in attendance. A 95% falling away. It will happen here.
