The hand of God needs to give some a good slap in the butt even if it isn’t the end of the world yet.
EVERY generation ever living thought they were living in end times.
It is NOT for us to know and we won’t know the time. I believe that is in the Bible as well.

Perhaps America received such a slap (...as you mentioned)
More than once...
9/11/2001 comes to mind...
Enjoy your day
Agreed.
However... there are other things that add to what is .. or what we think may happen.
We all expect we are living in the end time,
we see the times Six days ... what looks like the trib.
But how can we think ... America has been sooo blessed.
Why should HE bless America.... Yet...
I do believe that God has His ways, and that He will allow stuff to happen to get His point across to as many as possible. I do believe He is good, His ways are always good, His mercy endures forever, and that He has “no pleasure in the death of the wicked”.
That having been said.....
I have posted a few times about the R-74 (Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage) vote coming up in Washington state. I know that there are other ballot issues in other states that are dealing with that issue, but as far as I know, Washington has the best chance of it actually passing. Massive support in the liberal parts of the state for this bill. Money coming in from rich liberals all over the Seattle area...and they’ve got quite a few. The state is poised to be the first state to actually pass this into law by public vote. A major slap in the face to all who regard marriage as sacred.
And then...you look off the coast of Washington....about 80 miles or so. If you’re looking at a geological map, you’ll see this line off the coast. It’s called the Cascadia Subduction Zone. It’s the same type of fault that let go off the coast of Japan a little over a year ago. The Cascadia hasn’t really done anything since 1700. But, when it went that time, they experienced a tsunami because of it...in Japan. Imagine what it did on THIS side of the Pacific. Seismologists say that the Cascadia is overdue for some movement. It has the potential to unleash at least a long-lasting 9.0, perhaps more.
Now....you might call me crazy to suggest that God Himself would use a massive natural disaster to get His point across about this particular issue. But think about it...
The liberals and homosexuals vote R-74 into law, thereby giving a collective middle-finger in the face of God.
God could then use one of His fingers to give a little tap on the Cascadia....
...and mighty, liberal Seattle and likely a good chunk of western Washington would lie in jumbled ruins. Hundreds, possibly thousands dead.
Do I want that to happen? Heck no...I live here. I’m just saying...God has used natural and supernatural means to get his point across to a hard-hearted and unbelieving people. He can do it again. And the truly sad part about it is that many...even some of His own children...won’t realize what the consequences of sin could be. Or, they may not even care.
Until it’s too late.
I just don't think God wants us to be wimps....
stand up and be heard, and fight the good fight...
don't lay down on your bible verses and quaint sayings....
our God is a robust God.....HE expects us to be robust too...
