Will America burn? Will it drown? Or be blasted by nuclear weapons? Earthquakes? Economic collapse? Or will America be rendered ineffectual by all of the above?
America is not named in the Bible. So its fate isn't either. But that doesn't stop people from reading Scripture through an American lens. We are pretty damn self-centered here. We think a book written by Jews for Jews (mostly) 2000 years ago was meant for us, as Americans. Now some of it is for all people today, no doubt.
But it wasn't aimed at America. It was aimed at Israel.
Having said that, what will happen to America? I don't know, man! I'm no prophet. I can only tell you what I think might happen. I think we will be absorbed into a world community, probably after going broke. Then we will be judged most severely.
Why? Well, we call ourselves a "Christian" nation and yet we export porn, imperialism, and weapons to our enemies. We import drugs and slaves. We are full of perversion. We are narcissistic. Our families are breaking apart, we hate marriage, kill our babies. We vote in liars, knowing they are liars. We adore violence and sensational news. All the time saying we believe in God.
What God?
America the headless. No God, no good direction. We have lost our conscience! We are sinking further into the cesspool. Sure, we do some good in the world, like feed Third World countries and send out missionaries, but the bad is beginning to outweigh the good. Think about it. We throw God out of the schools and out of the courts and wonder why He doesn't help us. Why would He help if we don't want His help? Maybe He is sending those storms, to wake us back up.
We tolerate The atheists ridiculous requests, afraid of offending a tiny minority. (If you don't like the Nativity, don't look at it!) We have set God aside to worship ourselves. Collectively we are sinning greatly.
We are in grave danger, I believe. If God doesn't get us, we will destroy ourselves anyway. You don't need to be a Christian to see that. Our national debt is an imaginary number, one that is so big it does not make sense. But in debt we are, which must have been planned because nobody could be that foolish.
And maybe that's God's judgment right there, letting us have our own way.
Whether Russia nukes us, or a plague decimates us, or an earthquake sinks us, I believe something bad is on its way. Dr. Richard Swenson wrote a book entitled "Hurtling Toward Oblivion". He is a Christian, but didn't write it from that point of view. He was studying future trends and had an epiphany about where the world is headed. He said basically that there is more and more stuff, more and more people, and more and more propensity to do evil than ever before. In other words, we in trouble. But God said this:
"If my people, who are called by my name, humble themselves, I will heal their land."
That's great news! Of course that was meant for Israel, but the principle stands. Americans do call themselves by His name. So there is hope. God didn't destroy Nineveh because the whole city repented and humbled themselves. God will spare us too if we turn back to Him. If not, then we bring the consequences on ourselves.
Make a good choice, America. There may not be much time left.

The sad thing is that there are enough Christians in this country to turn the USA back towards God. The tragedy is that they don't speak out and up. Wake up Christian Americans
ReplyDeleteI think we speak out enough. We just don't live it!
DeletePerhaps the fall of America will give rise to a New World Order. If things don't change America WILL go bankrupt.It's one thing for Greece to fail but America will drag the whole would down with her.The book The Harbinger looks at the Future of the USA through the lense of an old Testement prophet.
