Something is coming (Editorial)
Flashtrafficblog Joel C. Rosenberg Blog ^ | 20 Jun 15 | Joel Rosenberg

Something is coming. I don’t know what. But we must be ready. Here’s the key question: Is America heading towards a terrible implosion or a great awakening?

I feel a tremendous sense of urgency about this column.

The United States is hurtling towards severe trouble, and the events of the past few months — and what may be coming over the next few months — grieves me a great deal.

Something is coming. I don’t know what. But we all must be ready in every possible way.

Consider where we are in the summer of 2015:

•Violence is exploding in our cities, schools and churches. The horrific mass murder inside the church in Charleston would be bad enough if it wasn’t just one of innumerable mass killings that have become epidemic in America.

•Racism is tearing us apart, and it appears things are getting worse, not better.

•The Supreme Court is poised to rule any day now on the definition and future of marriage — and if the Court rules against Biblical marriage I believe this could cause the Lord’s hand to turn against our country in a severe and profound way according to the moral laws found in Romans chapter one.

•Abortions are occurring at more than one million in year and have put America on the fast track to judgment. Since 1973, Americans have murdered 57 million children through abortions. The blood of 57 million babies is crying out for justice, and they will get it in God’s sovereign timing. Could that be soon?

•If all this wasn’t bad enough, marriages and families are imploding all around us. Poverty is growing. Drug and alcohol use is epidemic. And that’s just here at home.

•Abroad, Iran is closing in on The Bomb.

DA END ISS NEAR!

BAFOR IT ISS TOO LATE!

As a car speeds past them, the driver leans out his window and yells, “Leave people alone, you Skandihoovian religious nuts!”

From the curve they heard screeching tires and a big splash.

Shakin’ his head, Rev. Ole says “Dat’s da terd one dis mornin’.”

“Yaa,” Pastor Sven agrees, then asks, “Do ya tink maybe da sign should yust say, ‘Bridge Out?’”

If the stock market can recover from its crashes, so can we!

I only meant that symbolically. ie, as something having hit rock bottom, and, against all odds and expectations, bouncing back and fully recovering.

You're right. I never thought they could pull it off. No "money" for me. I could be stacking it deep today.

They auction it off for the taxes.

What, you think they won’t?

No doubt we are seeing the birth pains of events which have likely hit a point of no return. A clock of sorts began ticking when the U.N. recognized Israel as a sovereign nation. It's not that GOD had abandoned Israel but rather for the sake of the salvation of Gentiles that His plan of Salvation could be manifested.

We know not the hour and Christ said that. But He also plainly said we should as believers watch for the season and events to unfold.

Some people have differing views about what verses or passages are saying. I think the Abomination that brings Desolation and the one standing where he should not be is one and the same. Gay Clergy as shepherds to the flocks. It's a huge deception and it is the sin that did indeed bring judgement and desolation. Meaning Sodom and Gomorrah.

Can any nation escape judgement for embracing this? Yes but only by the repentance of the nation and a turning back toward GOD. In the 1980's I thought we had reached that point. And I think in that era we as a nation were blessed for it. It was short lived because the nation fell away.

What is too come we don't know. But as Daniel and the three students he taught and were all persecuted saw He will be with us. He may deliver us out or we may face it but He will be there with those He calls His own.

Be back in later. Busy day.

I’m in the far NW part of Harris County. And crime is increasing here.

As for a meltdown, I’ve been expecting one for years and it hasn’t happened. I’m about to the point of calling some people Chicken Little. I hope I’m right.

Hi Elsie.

Thanks for your excellent posts.

I personally believe our nation is now past the point of 2 Chronicles 7:14 and we have arrived at Jeremiah 18:16.

Not a comforting thought, I know, but it is what I now firmly believe.

There were more “Christians” in my family who voted for Obama than voted against him. At least they claim to be Christians and it’s not my place to say they ain’t.

Preppars' PING!!

Hat tip to metmom!

Crystal water turns to dark
Where ere it's presence leaves it's mark
And boiling currents pound like drums
When something wicked this way comes..

I’m a firm believer in the Bible but I’m a little hesitant to believe modern day prophets. With that said there’s no doubt the dollar will collapse. I’m just not sure it will be on that day.

I suspect everything will be fairly normal within the parameters of this messed up time just like the days of Sodom and Noah. There wasn't a Mad Max time right up to the morning Sodom burned and later when Noah shut the doors and it began to rain. Luke 17 20-37 & 1st Thessalonians 4 are good indicators of what's ahead.

I never felt that way when Jimmuh was in office. He was just plain incompetent. He was dangerous, but not evil.

Ophonybama and his LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist thugs are both evil and dangerous.

They are not incompetent! They are doing exactly what they set out to do: destroy America!

We may be able to save America, but we’ll go through a Tribulation of Biblical proportions first.

Stay safe!

Stay armed!

Hope for the best; prepare for the worst!
