16“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.
17“But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues;
18and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
19“But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.
20“For it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you (Matthew 10:16-23 NASB).
21“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22“You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
23“But whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.

Amen.
Well, that narrows it down geographically.
Doesn't appear to have to do with America though.
The only heaven the ungodly will experience is here on the topside of the terra firma. An eternity lost is an awful price to pay for total sinful rebellion to the Creator and his laws/designs. Their euphoria is a shallow, temporary fleeting ‘victory’.
Woe is them.
just keeping it in context....the meaning of the text is still there.
Israel is the distillation, in rock, of the geographic and spiritual world on Earth.
Fear not for I am with you always.
Amen!
Thank you for your thread. After reading the nonsense from today I have been near tears.
There is victory in Jesus! Always! Even in times like this. We know Who ultimately wins! Hallelujah!
Keep looking up...Our redemption drawth nigh
Amen.
“We know Who ultimately wins!”
Correction, the Cross won the war nearly 2,000 years ago.
but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,
IT IS FINISHED!
I STAND CORRECTED!!!! I KNEW THAT. I WAS THINKING IN THE SECULAR :) THANKS!
As in the days of Noah..
Not an accident gays have hijacked the covenant sign He gave the earth after the flood..

I want the rainbow back!
Matthew 10:16-23.
Coming to America.
That rainbow is a witness against them..I take comfort in that knowing the power and principalities behind this ‘movement’ will suffer the righteously .
Thou shalt not steal still applies and the rainbow is His.
Believers can understand that and know just how it will end for those who mock our Creator and His covenants.
He still has His Rainbow and His covenants and I sure as heck wouldn’t want to be mocking them like they have..
Forgive them, though, they know not what they do..
He is longsuffering and His mercy endures forever and probation is not closed.
What a sad state though to reject His grace and mercy for human pride.they really do need our prayers as they are taken in by the dark..
Amen
