04/12/23 NOW YOU SEE U.S., NOW YOU DON'T

For thousands of years, the Bible has declared the present day developing alliances of Russia, Iran, China, Syria, Turkey The Revived Roman Empire as well as the "New World Order" (a One World Government, One World Religion and One World Economy).

I have been preaching for decades that the USA would not be a factor in the end times. I preached this when most people could not grasp the idea that America would ever fall. The worldly evidence favored the idea of the a strong America in the last days.

I did not see America in the Scriptures. America is not missing from the Bible simply because America did not exist in the Bible days. God knew everything. Actually God referred to the unknown nations of that time as, "Islands."

Not only is the USA missing from the Biblical narrative, the Bible indicates that world upheaval will take place. Although the USA was a thriving country and although there was a lot of Christian influence in our country over the last 60 years, it was evident that this America was following in the steps of Europe and therefore would lose its leadership position in the world.

In 2008 America sealed its doom by openly turning from our Christian and Biblical past. With each Liberal Administration we see less and less tolerance for Bible beliefs.

Obviously, I don't know when Christ will return. It could be a thousand years from now (but I don't think so). However, there are so many world wide events and conditions today that it seems the news headlines scream, "End Times."

It will all come together, just as the Bible has told us for thousands of years. It may not be in our lifetime, but it is not a stretch to think it could be tomorrow.

It is always a good idea to be ready for death or the Second Coming, but with world events as they are, it would be really stupid not to be ready.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
