Is America nearing the end of the road as a nation? Have we reached a place similar to that of Judah just before Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and the temple?
Three times in the book of Jeremiah, the Lord tells the prophet to not pray for the people of Judah (Jeremiah 7:16, 11:14, 14:11). God’s judgment on the nation was certain at this point; praying would not change the final outcome.
Can we apply Jeremiah’s words to the U.S. as well? I believe we can.
God’s judgment upon America is not only certain, I believe it has already begun. Please know that I am not implying that revivals will no longer happen in the U.S. We should pray for people to come to the Savior and hopefully a great many will continue to receive His offer of eternal life.
What I am saying, however, is that there will not be a great spiritual awakening that will reshape America or change its downward trajectory. As a nation, we have rejected God and His ways just as Judah did during the time of the prophet Jeremiah.
The November 8, 2022, election in the U.S. confirms that as a nation, we are close to the end of the road. As expected, widespread cheating changed the outcome of many key races keeping the Democrats in control of the Senate as well as that of several state governorships. The slight advantage to Republicans in the House will not alter America’s continuing descent into darkness.
Abortion up to the moment of birth won big. In California, the ballot proposal to make the murder of preborn children part of the state’s constitution was up by 1.3 million votes the last time I checked. In Vermont, 77.4% voted in favor of enshrining the killing of innocents in the state’s constitution while 56.7% did so in Michigan.
There’s also evidence that many people went to the polls to voice their support of keeping abortion legal up to the point of birth.
THE ROMANS 1 PATH TO PERDITION Paul wrote these words in Romans 1:18:
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.”
What the apostle describes in the rest of the chapter aligns rather well with the past sixty years of American history. In Romans 1:28-32, we see the end result of rejecting God and His Word:
“And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.”
The U.S. has reached the end of the Romans 1 path to perdition. Signs of the “debased mind” described in the above verses abound throughout our culture as well as in the halls of our federal government.
A recent news story claimed that the Biden administration sent money to Ecuador for the purpose of putting on drag queen shows, which are a hideous and indecent repudiation of all that God’s Word says about gender and morality.
Newsweek’s efforts to fact-check this report resulted in the two disturbing paragraphs below:
In a statement sent to Newsweek, a spokesperson for the State Department said the agency supports "a wide range of strategic programs in Ecuador" that focuses on diversity and representation, and that the goal of the CEN program is to "promote tolerance" and "provide new opportunities for LGBTQI+ Ecuadorians to express themselves freely and safely."
"LGBTQI+ people across the globe deserve to live in societies free from targeted violence and discrimination. Recent data suggest an alarming and deadly rise in violence against LGBTQI+ persons in Ecuador," the spokesperson said.[i]
In other words, the report that the Biden administration funded drag shows in Ecuador was not only true, but it’s just a sampling of their efforts to promote abhorrent debauchery in other nations as well.
The corruption that defines the U.S. government extends to Republicans as well. Most, if not all of the GOP leadership support the globalists’ agenda while only a handful of its politicians speak out against the injustice and wicked behavior that abounds throughout America.
On November 16, 2022, twelve Republican Senators joined Democrats in ending debate on the “Respect for Marriage Act,” which establishes same-sex marriage into federal law. This ensures that it will become law.
An article on the Harbingers Daily website quoted Franklin Graham regarding the legislation:
“The deceitfully named Respect for Marriage Act will be voted on by the U.S. Senate this week, as early as Wednesday. The bill strikes a blow at religious freedom for individuals and ministries and is really the ‘Destruction of Marriage Act.’ Its sponsors remarkably claim it protects religious freedom. It does not. This disastrous bill sends a message to America that if you don’t agree with the left’s definition of marriage, you are a bigot.
THE NEARNESS OF THE SEVEN-YEAR TRIBULATION Another indication that America lies near the end of the road is the rapidly approaching Day of the Lord, or the seven-year Tribulation, in which all nations will experience God’s wrath. It will be the worst time in world history; comparatively very few people will remain alive at the time of Jesus’ return to the earth (Matthew 24:22; see also Isaiah 13:9-12).
There have been 63 million abortions in America alone and over one billion worldwide since it became legal. This alone accounts for the severity of the Lord’s future judgments that John witnessed and described for us in Revelation 6-18.
However, there’s so much more wickedness that places the trajectory of America squarely on a downward path as I have brought up in other articles.
Several decades ago, after Ruth Graham read the draft of a book that her husband was writing, she said, “If God doesn’t punish America, He’ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.”
Her words ring true today, abundantly more so. God will not be apologizing! Instead, the U.S. will suffer a fate similar to those two ancient cities.
Even if I did not believe in a pre-Tribulation Rapture, I would still warn people about the Lord’s impending judgment on America.
THERE IS GOOD NEWS, REALLY In the midst of all the bad news about the moral decline of America as well as the rest of the world, there’s much good news, really!
First, we know that Jesus is coming for us soon; there’s no better news for weary souls than that.
Regardless of our current circumstances, even if they happen to be fantastic, heaven will be so much better, it will be glorious. From the moment of the Rapture forward, we will enjoy immortal bodies and experience joy beyond our wildest imagination.
We will meet Jesus in the air and go to the place He has prepared for us. Can you imagine the excitement we will feel when we see Jesus face to face? Spend a few moments thinking about the reunions that will take place with loved ones and dear friends who are already with the Lord. Once we set foot in glory, we will instantly forget about our trials and hardships on earth.
Second, if you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus and His saving work on the cross, the good news is that you can know that you possess everlasting life (1 John 5:13). All those that call upon Jesus in faith are bound for glory; they will never experience God’s wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:9-10; 5:9-10).
In my post, Jesus Is the Only Path to Eternal Life, I explain how you can know that God has forgiven all your sins because of the blood that Jesus shed upon the cross. He died in your place; He took the wrath we all deserve upon Himself. He paid the penalty for all of our sins, past, present, and future.
In 1 John 5:11-12, we find these comforting words about eternal life:
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Call upon the Savior while you have the opportunity; tomorrow may be too late. He alone is the path to eternal life (John 14:6).
What is heartbreaking is how this has crept into the church and congregation doesn’t pull up stakes and leave. They believe in the lie that the Lord changes with the times not knowing they have been conned by the Deceiver.

Didn’t read it, didn’t have to. I already know the answer.
YES!
ANYBODY, eenie body, that could sit in a church and claim this abomination is true is deceived by the Liar in Chief, and has never known the salvation of God Almighty. Guaranteed, my FRiend.
People refuse to read the Bible ... because they don’t want to read it ... because they are not God’s children; they are tares. Period.
If Christ Jesus took a whip to the money-changers in the temple of God, just imagine His red-hot holy and righteous anger entering one of these “churches.”
Get out, children of God. Get out.
I’ll pray for you
Is America at the end of the road?
Yeah. Pretty much.
We cannot speed up Gods timing
Oh duty is to be salt
What does that even mean
As far as infrastructure, technology, logistics and military, it would make good sense to use the USA.
I remember discussions we had on this subject in the past, and telling you I felt the USA was 'Mystery Babylon.' If this be the time before the 'New Age', and I believe it is, America fits all of the characteristics mentioned by the prophets. There are a great number, but the biggest is that which revolves around the USSC decision on abortion in '73.
This decision led to well over 65 million souls taken in this country, and over a billion taken world-wide. More souls were taken under America's world leadership than by any other since recorded history. The next worst offender is Islam; pikers at only 300 million taken by the sword compared to those taken by the scalpel.
Ref:
"And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth."
Excellent, excellent, excellent post, RWC.
Don’t want to go on with this, Robowombat, but just remember always: God doesn’t reject a person because of their sins, rather they are rejected of God for rejecting Christ Jesus, the Only One sent for salvation in this dead world.
May God bless you, Robo. May He fill your heart with His love and draw you to prayer to Him.
You will certainly be in my prayers.
My warmest regards.
So you blame God for what man did to you. Sorry to hear that

I’m so pissed at our elected “leaders” and sheeple in this country right now, I am starting not to care anymore.
Seems as though God’s judgment is about the only thing left that is going to wake anybody else up.
I hesitate to make a point that “yes” this is how it will unfold because the closer we get things become more obvious, but we still don’t know exactly how everything will play out.
The clues are there however.
There are a lot of good Christians who believe America is the “End Times Babylon”.
There are also a lot of good Christians who believe it’s somewhere in the Middle East or elsewhere.
The fact that we are even discussing this is a huge plus because folks have it on their radar.
👍
100% correct.
Since I don’t think there is any god around not really. If there is one and the crap inflicted on me for the good of my eternal repose accurately reflects the deity’s desires than what ever god that is is like some small minded clerk.
Amen!
No, because I am inclined to believe that, also. More and more, as I watch the decline of the US in every sense, especially spiritually, I am reminded to keep praying for the salvation of loved ones and seeking our heavenly country. Maranatha!
Got proof of your accusations?
What do you mean by sky pilot?
Are you sure you have the correct FReeper you are vomiting your bile over?
