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