My god. Are we about to go over the edge?

I believe much of America is about to enter into a period of judgement. There is a blessing-judgement cycle recorded in the Bible as regards to Israel, that applies to some extent to all nations. When they live moral, honest, reverent, and respectable lives, the nation is blessed. They get to feeling all proud and complacent. Respect for righteousness and God errodes. Soon the people who proclaim truth go from being respected to being ridiculed.

The bible teaches that when ridicule of the people of God turns to emnity and hostility, a "Day of the Lord" (period of judgement) comes. At that point the people go through great trials, are humbled, and repent. Only in Revelation, at the LAST Day of the Lord, are people so hardened that even when judgement falls they do not repent, but rather curse God and persecute His people all the more.

It is amazing what means little to people means much to God. He places great store on things like morality and obedience to His ways. For both of these things, we have an a..-kicking coming our way.
