There is a massive power shift underway in Washington D.C. today, which is leading our nation to abandon our Judean/ Christian heritage and founding principles at an alarming rate. Many evangelical Christians are seeing the exponential change in this country toward a secular, socialist state – especially in the last ten months – which is, quite frankly, scaring them to death.
This concern is noteworthy and quite merited in light of the significant changes that are now happening, but many Evangelicals are ignorant the Scriptural prophecies (predictions) describing these very events. They are stumbling over and wondering what Almighty God has been allowing to transpire here in the U.S.A.
This rapidly shifting social/ political environment combined with a lack of understanding of what Almighty God’s Word clearly teaches about the day we live in makes for great confusion. Many Evangelicals today are doubting and becoming offended in Almighty God’s providential management of the current status of the United States. Holy Scripture explains quite clearly what the Last Days would be like, and Almighty God expects His dear children not to be ignorant and foolish but wise and understanding about our day in which we are living in (Matthew 24; 1, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, 2 Thess. 2:3, Timothy 4:1-3).
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Tim. 3:1-7).
We as Evangelicals and Conservatives here in America should do all we possibly can to slow the decaying process of this “dying corpse” of a once great nation by being the salt of the earth and light of the world, as Christ taught (Matt. 5:13-14). Our faith and hope should not rest in Washington D.C., or the Constitution, or even in practicing our Judean/ Christian conservative ideology (Jer. 17:5-9).
Our faith and hope needs to be anchored and rooted in Almighty God and His precious promises. The days of seeking to restore America to its former glory are over. Wake up my Beloved! Our nation – and the entire world – has been decimated from the ongoing transgressions against the spiritual and natural laws of Almighty God (Isaiah 24:5). We are at the point of no return, the bottom of the vortex like it or not. This is a hard pill of reality for many Evangelicals and Conservatives to swallow, but it must.

Great re-post, John. It’s amazing how much the church doesn’t know about the end times. In the 70s, it was a hot topic, but today it seems this hardly gets a mention.
Recently, I’ve realized (big light bulb!) that we are not first and foremost citizens of the USA, or anywhere in the world, but citizens of the Kingdom of God. Duh! And who taught me this? Muslims of all people! Muslims are not first and foremost citizens of any nation or kingdom. Their loyalty goes straight to Allah (poor choice on their part, alas).
As I read more and more about this, the Holy Spirit began to whisper to me (or I began to hear, more likely) that I shouldn’t mourn so much over the death of the United States, as though it were my mother. The church is my mother and God (YHWH) is my father. Jesus is our elder brother, our bridegroom and our soon coming King. All the nations of the world are nothing before Him. He is our home, our loyalty, our lord and our great reward.
Yes, this nation has been a wonderful thing–an aberration, really, for where and when else have so many freedoms and godly principles ever come together into one nation? Yes it has always been tragically flawed, and yet where, in this fallen world, has such a thing every existed before? And now we see it dying, and maybe it’s right to mourn–at least a little bit.
But the death of our beloved nation heralds the coming of our eternally glorious and beloved King, and how can my heart be long sad with that prospect coming so close? Whatever we may have to walk through to get to that state, He will be with us and He will be our strength.
Maranantha–Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
