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).
You’ve made plain what you are.
Your low IQ is showing again. The born again spirit in which God IS abiding cannot sin. The soul/behavior mechanism?... Well you are proof that still sins.
As Yuri Bezmenov remarked regarding the brainwashed, you can put the proof right before their eyes but they are unable to receive it.
You notice how all scripture stating that the Body of Christ is not under the law goes unnoticed or is challenged? The words are plain and the position is well-explained and is easily understood and, yet, here we see a prime example of cult brainwashing wherein the victim is bound to see only that which is cult-approved.
Rev 20:2-3 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.Satan could not have deceived during the thousand years. When do you say the thousand years ended? Futurist don't have a problem with this since we don't think the millennium has started yet, but what if the devil did restore Israel? It would not be the first time his plan backfired.
1 Cor 2:7-8 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.You complain that we can sin with impunity. God can handle that easily. You have lost one of the examples by rejecting Israel. Look at what God has done to Israel.
Isa 51 :17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.Giving credit to Satan for things that God does is not a good idea. Do you think that Satan delivered Jreusalem to the Jews in 1967? There is a good documentary on the six-day war called In Our Hands. It shows what happens when God fights our battles. Israel's enemies fled and they took the city undamaged.
well and truly stated. Amen
Kudos ... see you in the clouds!
“Giving credit to Satan for things that God does is not a good idea.”
Rightio, Seven.
I’m going to check out “In Our Hands,” but I could almost swear I’ve seen it. One thing is for sure, God won the victory for Israel.
Thanks for the ping, btw. I always appreciate your posts.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
A side note:
Although it’s only 23 degrees and falling right now, the temps are going into the 70s next week. Time to break out the shorts and flip flops again!
Going down to 2 or lower tonight up here. Fur babies are really confused. When it gets over 45 I’ll open the garage and take out the trash. Using a bath towel as a shawl right now. Electric bill will be astronomical!
Merry Christmas to you too. You are making the same progress with Philsworld as I have made with my family. I don’t expect to see changes.
I’m getting ready for my evening walk to help my blood sugar. 71 degrees right now.
I hear ya. I’m worried about the water bill more than the electric. Either way, there’s going to be a little $ discomfort come next month.
You lucky thing!
Since you need to walk to help your blood sugar, can I have your car?
LOL ... you’re always trying to help, eh?
I do my best to always try.
One would have to be naive, at best, to believe that Satan hasn’t been planning and orchestrating the biggest deception, ever, over at least the last 2000+ years. A being, that could enter one of Christ’s own disciples, causing him to betray the literal Son of God, wouldn’t be able to cause a German leader to murder 6 million Jews? Or influence world leaders to give a piece of land to the Jewish Nation, and all as the backdrop to the greatest fake out ever seen?
Luke 22:3Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve. 4And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.…
Satan has already fooled you into believing the Antichrist power hasn’t come yet, and that it’s actually a single person. You cannot sin? fooled. OSAS/OJAJ? fooled. PTR? absolutely fooled and setting the world up for the big one. Hater of all things God’s holy commandments (and especially His Sabbath) and anyone that says they are mandatory to be allowed entry into heaven/Salvation? Fooled!
Wake up! Satan takes no prisoners. It’s life or death with him.
1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
Your side thinks they are smarter than Satan. So smug. Boastful. Lost.

The millennium hasn’t started yet.

Yes, God could handle that easily, if He changed His law, but he didn’t....not one dot of an i or cross of a t.
——>Giving credit to Satan for things that God does is not a good idea. Do you think that Satan delivered Jreusalem to the Jews in 1967?
Yes
——>If you look closely, you can see God’s fingerprints.
Look closer, and what you believe to be God’s fingerprints, are actually Satan’s.
Your low IQ is showing AGAIN! When Jesus chose Judas he knew Judas was already a devil, as shown in John chapter six. The rest of your drek is not worth even reading.
