I’m going to say something that may not set well with some. Oh well. This is what I’m sensing from many years of knowing God. America isn’t mentioned in the bible anywhere that I can see. I believe it’s very possible that in order for the man of sin, anti-christ, to take over the planet, America has to seese to exist the way it is today. Could happen because of moral, economical collapse. Which is what appears to be happening today. Could be the rapture(pre/mid, I don’t know), or any number of things or combination of things. But, I think that the only thing that has been standing in the way of anti-christ is America. America has kept evil all over the world at bay for many, many years. Just a thought.
>>> I believe it’s very possible that in order for the man of sin, anti-christ, to take over the planet, America has to seese to exist the way it is today.
I am in complete agreement with you on this.
This is something i’ve wondered about and foreseen for about 10 years now... just could never imagine how it would happen.
Now I know.
The only slight disagreement I would have with the statement is that it is the removal of the Holy Spirit, Not America that is key to revelation of the anti-christ.
To illustrate the difference and reflect what you are saying, here are the 2 scenarios I see as possible future events:
1: Rapture in the very near term (6 months - 2 yrs) clearing the way for Obama to finish off his plans on America, resulting in it’s destruction almost immediately.
2: Rapture in the mid-long term (2-10 years) preceded by a spiritual re-birth in America, and a catastrophic defeat of the enemy’s plans against America, which clears the way for God’s final push for evangelism and harvest before the tribulation period.
Now, because I have frequently heard within the past 2 years from prophetical and/or charismatic sources, that God is NOT finished with America, and that He wants to clean up the courts for 1... and that God is NOT going to surrender this nation that HE founded through our forefathers, I TEND TO BELIEVE IN SCENARIO #2.
There can be no clearer evidence that we are currently in the midst of a great awakening... whether you call it spiritual or political, or whatever. I for one will be greatly disappointed if we end up leaving this world in defeat... I don’t think that is God’s style.
All it would take for this nation to crumble overnight would be the disappearance of all it’s Christians...
So don’t be too anxious to see us witnessing this nation’s destruction too soon.
