Bring In The Candles: Living In An America That Is Collapsing All Around Us
Harbingers Daily ^ | 7/22/23 | Mark Hitchcock

I don’t believe America is mentioned in Bible prophecy—certainly not directly.

A lot of people think America is mentioned indirectly. For example, they will look at passages like Isaiah 18, pointing to the unnamed nation in the chapter. They may suggest that America is the ten lost tribes of Israel, the young lines of Tarshish in Ezekiel 38, or Babylon from Revelation 17-18.

However, I don’t think any of those places are America in prophecy. It is Scripture’s silence about America which I find significant. If, in the future, we stay the great superpower we are today, then I think the Bible certainly would mention us. For example, the Bible mentions nations like Rosh (Russia), Persia (Iran), and the kings of the East (which likely include India and China).

Something has to happen to America to reduce us from our superpower status, and I think that event is going to be the rapture of the church. All of the salt and light will be extracted out in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and when that takes place, America will be reduced to being a second or third-rate nation overnight.

When we think about God’s judgment on America in the future, we need to consider how we live today in a culture that is collapsing all around us.

Some say that 9/11 was the demarcation line between the America we all miss and the current communist america we are all so saddened to see. And there’s a decent argument to be made for 9/11 as the demarcation line, but I would argue that the true demarcation line was Barrack insane Obama aka Barry Soetero. Most of the problems we have today are directly caused by his admin’s weaponization of the government against traditional America and its citizens.

“...but I would argue that the true demarcation line was Barrack insane Obama..”

An excellent case can be made for that argument. However, 9/11, Bush and the legislative fallout gave him the tools and Obama added rocket fuel! Stepping back a little bit, I’ve always felt the 1964 election of LBJ over Barry Goldwater as THE inflection point. It demonstrated the profound ignorance of the majority of American voters and opened the door for all subsequent hell.

9/11 is probably a good turning point to begin with when talking about the line of demarcation for when things got bad.

I can remember throughout the entire Clinton Administration things being done that really stepped up the strong hand of gov’t overreach.

Technology has also helped weaponize control over everybody. Everything is linked now.

yes, I consider the assassination of JFK as a demarcation point, and it probably could be, but I think most of us still loved the America that existed, for the most part, in the 60s, 70s, 80s etc. The new communist America is completely insane, and although we still love America, we have to acknowledge that the communists completely have the upper hand now.

I remember BJ Clinton pulling government weaponization shenannigans all the time int he 90s, but the big difference between then and now was that there was pushback. And the media, although biased, would still call him on it. B. insane Obama could do literally anything he wanted and the media just wouldn’t report on it, so it was like it never happened. And anyone questioning him was a ‘conspiracy’ nut. The media ran total cover for insane obama just like they’re doing now for pedo Joe and just like they colluded to destroy Trump. The media, i guess, is the biggest different between pre and post Barry Soetero.

No question that the falsely named Patriot Act was a weapon that G W MORON provided the deep state to use against American citizens. Instead of securing our borders and protecting US citizens, G W MORON and the neoCONs spent treasure and US blood abroad fighting pointless wars, while leaving our borders wide open and de-Christianizing America while falsely stating / admonishing Americans that Islam is “a religion of peace.” G W MORON sided with the enemies against Americans, while his admin. made huge amounts of money off corporate cronyism. Yes, G W MORON bears a huge amount blame of the fall of America.

But I still say Barry Obama was the demarcation line in America’s destruction.

In my opinion, the media is directly responsible for what we are experiencing.

They are Public Enemy #1.

"9/11 is probably a good turning point to begin with when talking about the line of demarcation for when things got bad."

But 9/11 was made possible by the incompetence/negligence of the Clinton Admin.

Sooo, Bubba looks like the fall guy here.

“..yes, I consider the assassination of JFK as a demarcation point..”

Indeed it was. I was in military those years and it brought Americans together as one like no other event since Pearl Harbor. I don’t think that is possible anymore...one side or the other would be cheering and celebrating now with a similar event.

I believe the US actually IS in biblical prophecy... but I don’t believe the church will be here for it.

Rev 8:7

“The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.”

Of course this is speculative, but this particular prophecy speaks of fire from heaven that burns up 1/3 of the earth’s trees and grass (landmass)

This is obviously a reference to multiple asteroid impacts... like a swarm of them on a direct collision course with earth.

I have heard it said that the western hemisphere which includes North and South America makes up EXACTLY 1/3 of the earth’s land mass... So it stands to reason that this is may be where the US is mentioned in prophecy.

Also let’s not forget that the neoCON RINO scum like Mitch and Mccain and Paul RYNO let Obama get away with whatever he wanted like firing all the military generals and replacing them with communists. Not one word was spoken against it from the “opposition” party. Or Barry Soetero giving away control of the internet to a global entity. The neoCON corporate controlled RINO scum were completely in favor of it.

I’ve heard that posited before and I wouldn’t discount it.
Seems like the AC Kingdom does center more around the “Old World” (Mediterranean Area) than the “New World”.

There’s got to be a reason for it.

Definitely something to ponder.

I have thought that we could be the 2 Wings of the Great Eagle that shelters Israel during Revelation 12.

A thoughtful question, thanks for your post.

I believe you are correct, (north) America is not mentioned.

But neither is South America, Greenland, Iceland, Australia, the Arctic or Antarctic, or the Pacific islands to name a few.
