We are living in the midst of America’s worst nightmare. America’s survival is threatened again, just as it was in the Civil War and WWII. What’s different this time is we are not the same America. The fabric that made us the legal, economic, political, and spiritual powerhouse as far back as WWII, unraveled over a period of six decades. We are no longer one America standing together against the forces of evil. We are a divided nation in which the forces of evil now are a primary part of the fabric that defines America.
This is a battle that has raged since our nation was founded, but it accelerated dramatically since the early 1960s. We are now in the final stage of our enemies’ plans for our nation’s complete annihilation. We stand at the precipice of the total implosion of the United States with plenty of help from enemies outside our borders.
At this stage the U.S. Constitution has been almost completely annulled by legislators and by our judges. The constitution no longer protects you in any area of law, because judges no longer enforce the founders’ intent and the plain language of the constitution. Judges have gutted the constitution. Those freedoms that so many have sacrificed their lives to protect are nearly gone. Some states, like California, are on the brink of achieving total Marxist status. The English language has been turned upside down, morality and traditional values are now considered racist, and insanity rules the arguments across America in every venue. It is as though we are living in an insane asylum called America.
We’re way past talking about how to push the clock back to make America great again. We lost America long ago, but nearly everyone refuses to acknowledge that. Worse yet, Americans are in denial and refuse to face the truth even when it confronts them violently in our streets, in our congress, and in our churches. Common sense is almost gone, and people are apologizing for the color of their skin.
Many talking heads are pontificating about the causes of America’s nightmare. America is in a death spiral, and everyone is sitting around a camp fire shooting the bull and proposing solutions like drunkards in a tavern late at night. Sane Americans who hang onto a semblance of common sense and logic have long since turned off the blatant brainwashing media, and are repulsed by the insanity of radical liberalism that publicly announced its plans to “burn it all to the ground.”
For patriots like you and me who are not drunk, stoned, or psychopathic (and who are not liberal democrats without any connection to reality or truth), how can we make sense out of the insanity all around us? This is what I want to address here, and I am not going down the same old path that the talking heads all are going down today. I will take you in an entirely different direction to challenge your paradigm and your world view.
What could possibly help us comprehend the nature of our political, cultural, social, and economic state of crisis? Apart from all the excellent arguments that political scientists are making at our Ivy League Universities, apart from the compelling debates from our best think tanks, and apart from the sharp arguments made by some of our country’s finest political minds, what could all of them be missing that could put all that is going on in America in its proper context of greater truth? Is it even possible to have an underlying cause or a foundational reality that could make sense out of America’s nightmare today?
I believe it is possible, but this might not be easy for you to believe. The key missing element in nearly all the intellectual arguments is what I call the “spiritual element.” Wait, don’t rush off, because what if I’m touching on the one key component that is missing from your analysis of what is happening in America? Would it be so bad to open your mind for a few minutes to consider another possibility that could explain what is happening in America and what the future holds for you and me?
I believe what explains America’s nightmare is found in an understanding of the Bible and in the words of Jesus himself when he talked about the last days. The Bible is the only book in the world that has been 100% accurate in foretelling the future, so why would we ignore what the Bible says in these times when America’s very survival is on the precipice of ultimate destruction? Whether you’re a Christian or not, the Bible is our most accurate source of history and forecasting. No other source comes close. So let’s take a brief look at what the Bible says and how that can help us interpret America’s nightmare today.
A Five Minute Summary of The Entire Existence of The Earth
Trying to summarize the earth’s entire existence with an explanation of mankind’s role in under five minutes is no small challenge, but I’ll do my best, and if I fall short by leaving out a lot of important details, please forgive me. I understand your attention span is limited, and I respect your time.
God created the earth, the sun, and the stars. He created heavenly beings, including the Angels. He created man and woman, and he had a plan for all of us. “Before the foundation of the world” God chose whom he would call and whom he would not call. In other words, some are to be saved forever, and the rest are not. This was and is God’s sovereign will.
Why the calling? Why was there a need for salvation? Because the most beautiful and the most powerful angel in all of creation would turn against God and tempt Eve in the Garden of Eden, and thereby cause the fall of the entire human race through sin. God cast Lucifer, who became Satan on earth, out of Heaven with a third of all the Angels who joined Satan. It was in the moment of Satan’s temptation in the Garden when he tempted Eve with the three sins of the world–the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. All sins since then fall into those three categories.
Satan used deception, lies, and manipulation. He still uses those today as he has for at least 6,000 years. What is Satan’s goal? To defeat God and become God himself and to rule over the Heavens and the earth. Therefore, Satan has sought to destroy all that is good and true and righteous, and fill the earth with his evil schemes, with death, with the most horrendous evils imaginable, and that requires the death and humiliation of Christians and God.
Satan’s primary weapon is deception, and Jesus warned us three times about deception when he was asked by his disciples what would be the signs of the end of the age. For thousands of years Satan has been using deception to fool humans into thinking there is no God and no Satan, or to become so involved in sin that they become servants of evil, never looking to God for their salvation or hope.
God specifically gave Satan control of the earth, and one of Satan’s names is “the god of this world.” This means that Satan has had the ability for thousands of years to design world systems that would facilitate his master deception to the human race. Just like God allowed Satan to cause Job great suffering, God has allowed Satan to design and control all worldly systems. Consider that Satan has been around to facilitate the creation of nations and their governments, central banks and financial systems, political parties, cultures, social habits, judicial systems, corporations and their technologies, Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, the news media, the movie and entertainment industries, and everything else on earth that does not belong to God.
The depth of depravity knows no end among humans from generation to generation. America and the entire world have been on a steady decline since the Garden of Eden. The Bible tells us that a day will come when God says he has had enough, and he will Rapture his Believers out of the earth directly to Heaven. On earth the 7-year Tribulation will commence shortly after the Rapture, and we are clearly told what life will be like during the Tribulation. It will be horrific, billions will die, and demons will be released to do their evil to those who are left behind. Those who come to Christ by faith during the Tribulation will be saved, but they will have to suffer death at the hands of evil.
At the end of the 7-year Tribulation, Jesus will return and his wrath will destroy all evil on earth. Satan will be bound for 1,000 years before being released briefly, and then God’s final judgment against Satan will end all evil forever.
In the meantime, America stands at the crossroads of the End of Days. Political wisdom, economic wisdom, and other worldly wisdom is forecasting massive famines, wars, pandemics, a worldwide financial collapse, and worse. But there is a much more reliable source for forecasting our future, and that is the Bible. Clearly, the end is coming. We don’t know the day or the hour, but it will come like a “thief in the night” when you do not expect it. When it happens, there will be no second chances. Eternity for your soul starts at that moment, and you are either going to spend eternity in Heaven or eternity in Hell and the Lake of Fire.
But God has provided a way for us, in that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross as the perfect unblemished lamb to be our sacrifice for sin, and when we repent of our our sin and trust Christ’s atoning work on the cross for our sake, we are saved and will not suffer God’s wrath in the tribulation, and we will not suffer eternal condemnation separated from God in Hell, but we will be in Heaven with God for eternity. This is God’s love and his amazing Grace to us. We don’t deserve, and cannot earn it, but he loves us so much, he provides a way of salvation.
Are we living in the End of Days in America now? Over 1,953 years ago the Apostle Paul wrote:
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (ESV)
This describes America and the world today to a T. America is the International center of drug trafficking around the world, the base for human trafficking and pedophilia, a multi-billion dollar enterprise. The largest purveyor of pornography in the world is an American company. America set the pace for decades for the rest of the world in the areas of perverted movies and demented music. America is blatantly in-your-face the Sodom and Gomorrah of today. America has made God it’s enemy, and there are consequences for that. There are spiritual consequences with eternal implications, but there are also practical consequences for our nation.
1,962 years ago, the Apostle Paul penned the book of Romans, including this section, which is so relevant for you and me today:
Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
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. Romans 1:22-32 (ESV)
We are there today. This describes America. Never has it been so bad, so extreme, so wicked, so blatant, and so evil as it is now in America. Do you wonder why the politicians are so radical and self-seeking? Have you wondered what is wrong with insane behavior at the riots? Have you been in shock to hear that they are encouraging your children to have sex with the same sex as early as possible? Have you not been disgusted with the lack of law enforcement against child kidnappings, human trafficking, and pedophilia? Is not their passion to murder babies by abortions not heart breaking? What have you been thinking while all your God-given rights and constitutional rights disappear by virtue of American politicians? Are you tired of lies and manipulation in the news media? Are you a member of a Church that has been shut down by your governor or local government authorities?
There is no end to their evil, and that is because evil finds its source in the spiritual realm. The problems of America are much deeper than political or social or economic. They are spiritual. There is a spiritual war raging for America’s Soul.
It’s time you picked a side, and I don’t mean a political party. It’s time you picked a spiritual side. Are you with God or with Satan? You pick, but don’t delay. The hour of Christ’s return will come like a thief in the night, and you will not get a second chance.
