Note from Pastor Kevin Lea: What is missing from this article is the fact that this plan to wreck America is being orchestrated by Satan through the powerful elite whom he controls. God will be allowing them to succeed because a large majority of the people in America and the world have rejected the God of love and life and have embraced the god of hatred and death. Daniel and Revelation make it perfectly clear that in the last days the world will morph into a ten-nation super-state that will ultimately be ruled over by the antichrist and we are witnessing the beginning of its formation. Jesus will soon be coming to take His faithful church (Revelation 3:7-13) to be with Him in heaven before He starts pouring His wrath on the earth starting with Revelation chapter 6.
The US has always been a famously optimistic country. From our beginning, rebelling against the greatest empire the world has ever seen in a bold attempt to gain independence, we’ve always looked to a brighter future. Through our history millions of people have come to what they see as a land of opportunity. The American Dream – the idea that if we work hard we can succeed – is one of the key threads that runs through our culture. How optimistic are you feeling now, though? Does it look as if the US is headed onward and upward to a brighter future? Or do you have an uneasy feeling that the American Dream is on the edge of collapsing into a nightmare? If you do, and you’re looking for reassurance, I’m sorry to say I can’t give you any. We’re not past the point of no return yet, but there’s evidence all around us that points to this country being in a dangerously unstable condition. We could manage to turn things around – but right now we’re heading in the wrong direction.
A House Divided. These states don’t feel very united right now. In fact this country might be more divided than it’s been at any time since Richmond fell to US troops in 1865. Our politics have become terrifyingly partisan. Decades ago, in the golden age of the 1950s, the Republicans wanted to build prosperity by cutting federal taxes and letting people keep more of their money. The Democrats wanted to build a prosperous nation by using federal law to give people more rights at work. OK, that’s simplifying it a little, but both parties wanted pretty much the same sort of country; they just had different ideas – and, really, not that different – about how to get there.
Look at things now…
