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.

Fun fact...

The Tribe of Dan was disinherited

,, it’s not “ missing”.

And neither are the rest, much to the dismay of preterists every where as well as the name it and claim it Pentecostals.

The USA is not Israel.

Or the new Israel.

Or the new Jerusalem.

The Bride ( church, body of Christ ) is not Israel.

Israel is Israel.

I honestly believe this nation will not exist into the last seven years of the Tribulation period/Wrath of God.

This nation has become so wicked that it mirrors Israel/Judah of old. When God got done judging them both, the nations were both destroyed, and hence we have the pattern of God's actions for today.

The Rapture of the Church will indeed play into the judgment to come, because afterwards I honestly believe great geographical destruction will occur and the USA will no longer exist.

Revelation 6:12-17, "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

I am of the belief that the Cascadia fault line, the San Andreas fault line, the Yellowstone Cauldara, the New Madrid fault line, and the East Coast fault lines will all go off, thereby destroying the nation altogether. I know that's not a popular opinion, but given how wicked this nation has become, and how holy God Almighty is, it's the nature result of our actions.

I could be entirely wrong, but I don't see things happening any other way.

There is a theory that the Great Chicago Fire and the simultaneous Peshtigo WI fire were started by a meteorite shower.

I believe the inflection point was when the Deep State whacked JFK and put their stooge LBJ in charge.

There are a lot of nations not specifically mentioned in end times prophecies and we make a lot of assumptions about which nations are mentioned.

The Bible speaks of a time of “the healing of the nations” and again it doesn’t specifically say which will be or if nations ia a generic term for all differing people groups and tongues and tribes.

Not a knock against you...you may well be right!

I havn’t heard anyone else say this yet, but when the simultaneous wildfires happened in Canada, that was the first thing I thought of.

Everyone just assumed they were deliberately set, but at the same time like that??? I don’t think so.

It’s either that or volcanic activity getting carried by the wind or something to affect a vast area like that all at once.

Yes, a good argument can be made for that. It was an earthshaking event.

I will never trust another word from the mouth of Globalist Neocon George W Bush.

I agree with Mark Hitchcock here.

I believe everything changed in September, 2001.

Obviously, not for the better.

I had several interesting experiences that year.

I’m not surprised the 2008 crash happened, frankly.

You could be right. They appear in a fairly straight line, as a galactic shotgun.

There’s several videos of drones being filmed in Canada that are starting fires.

Theory is that they’re trying to burn out the rural folks to corral them back into the cities to better control them.

Something is going to happen that will cause our demise or at least decent into oblivion.

havn’t seen those videos, but i’m pretty sure starting fires is one of the methods of containing them.

That might be the official reason.

I don’t trust any government anymore. Ever.

It’s the United States...Not “America”.

And the United States is Babylon the Great.

Eg. Statue of Liberty.
Isis
Ashtaroth

I’d argue it was January 1973....when SCOTUS “legalized” the murder of the unborn child.
