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).
Up to you, as Christ left it to those who followed him out of the city to return/leave his presence. The twelve who remained that day, became His disciples. It struck me profoundly how He did not attempt to change the minds those who chose to return.
A couple of recent videos concerning mysteries which are hard to explain away unless there is a Divine underpinning:
The End/Hereafter - The Millennial Reign Prophecy

This Was Written In The Bible 2000 Years Ago.. But Scientists Only Found Out About It Recently!?!

There are many, many others. And anyone who loves the truth and searches for it, will sooner or later come to believe in God. All who are truly godly love truth.
I believe in the two state solution for the USA.
Here is how it ends:
1. SCOTUS is stacked before Summer 2023; probably sooner
2. a 2A lawsuit will find its way to SCOTUS, whereby the “militia” is reinterpreted (because a law cannot be passed through the House)
3. Musk and Trump go down; somehow; the first two assassinations or imprisonment
4. the 87K IRS employees are repurposed to work with ATF and determine who has guns; if the House defunds, the money will be stripped elsewhere; largely work-from-home gigs drawing from a series of databases to construct by-state/county lists
5. 2024- Democrats retake the House, by fraud, intimidation and assassinations by released felons and the most staunch ANTIFA members who get a chance to play “Who Wants to be a Millionaire,” to do the dirty work, along with some pros.
6. election laws will be changed, ensuring conservatives never see power again: the states will be compelled to follow Congress
7. outlawing of semi-auto rifles gets on the books; tax stamps for bolt action rifles and handguns (who can pass on the chance to fleece gun owners?) follows; if you don’t pay, you get a squad at your doorstep
8. the National Guard comes into play once law is established; anyone who doesn’t follow orders fills up Ft Leavenworth for 10 years. Anyone who doesn’t turn in the specified weapons gets 10 years. The Guard will be re-stocked with children from broken families having no traditional values, ANTIFA, graduating college students who want their debt serviced, and selected immigrants by a special government program.
9. then come the real assassinations and imprisonments en masse; and it won’t be hidden at that point; there will be a construction boom in cheap prisons
All played out in front of a lazy, distracted, unintelligent, addicted citizenry that has never had to want for anything.
And that is all she wrote.
Yep, any scenario is possible with our electorate.
Honestly, if I thought God was like what you portray Him as, I’d reject Him, too
But He’s not.
You need to get over your anger issues at whoever wounded you so deeply to give you such a warped view of God and to make you so bitter and resentful.
You relentlessly pimp for the Ukes and beat the drum for more US involvement. As you call yourself some sort of reverend you know what Sky Pilot means or you really are dumb.
I’d reject Him, also, were He like that. Thank God Himself that He’s not. He is full of a love, a peace, a joy and a comfort that can’t be found in this world. It cost us not a thing, but it cost Him everything: His Beloved Son.
He gives freely to His children just for the asking. People ask, “Why are you always smiling or singing? Your life is crap!”
Honestly? My life couldn’t be worse than right now and has been over the past few years. BUT God. Glory, glory, glory be to His Holy Righteous Name forever and ever!
My life may be “crap” in it’s outward appearance, but I thank my most loving and gracious God that He has filled me to the brim with His good things. My cup truly runneth over. (I LOVE YOU GOD!)
Would to God that all would seek Him and receive of Him.
In post 39 you said this….. (copied and pasted) “ Oh yeah, you are the sky pilot that keeps beating the drum to get the US into a new ‘Crusade for Freedom’ in the Ukraine.”
So you are claiming *I* am the sky pilot. And I’m supposed to guess what that means?
And I don’t even go on the Ukrainian war threads. I did initially but only expressed sympathy for the poor everyday joes who have to live in that situation because of the decisions of the powers that be that were inflicted on them.
I have NEVER advocated for US intervention in this conflict. It’s not our business and we need to stay out. So I don’t know who you are confusing me with that has stirred up such seething hatred that you are spewing all over the place, but check for yourself. My posting history is there for all to see. Go find the comments that prove what you claim I said.
I’ll wait.
Made a mistake and forgot to ping you to #86.
Oh, and where on earth did I ever call myself some kind of reverend? Please provide the link to that comment.
You’ve got Metmom confused with another poster, Robo. A sincere apology is in order.
LOL. Learn sometin’ new every day!
It’s news to me.
Especially since I am opposed to women preachers and reverends.
I am also, Metmom.
YOU WERE MADE IN BODY, SOUL (BEHAVIOR MECHANISM) AND SPIRIT. tHE BEHAVIOR MECHANISM AND THE SPIRIT ARE REAL IN A ‘HIGHER’ DIMENSIONAL REALITY. WHEN YOU BODY CEASES TO FUNCTION THE BOND BETWEEN THIS FOUR VARIABLE (three of space and one of time) REALM AND THE HIGHER DIMENSIONAL REALMS IS BROKEN, but6 because the time variable for the higher realms is notpast to present those aspects of you do not cease to be when the body dies.

If only people would keep God’s law, right?

“If only people would keep God’s law, right?”

If only people would look to God ALONE, and read His Word ALONE without the lens of people who say they went to another planet and met very tall, sinless people; who was involved with her parishioners on all fours, butting women in their butts, and barking like mad dogs; and her slurping oysters while telling her “church” to never eat them, & etc., etc.
It being strictly GOD’S WORD ALONE matters, SDAer.
AMEN!
2 Corinthians 12:9
King James Version
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
I remember another poster recently stating that the law defines Christ’s character. (can’t separate the two, Claire, no matter how much you want to).
Galatians 2:15-21 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
Galatians 3:10-11 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.”
