The world hasn’t seen a country as Christianized as this, however.
God’s own bragging rights are at stake here. Is He going to let the devil crow about how he managed to bring down the greatest display of gospel on earth yet?
Call me crazy but I’m banking that the answer is NO! And it is for God’s own sake. Not because of our sorry asses (pun intended). But because Christ gave His hide (and His blood and the rest of Himself) on the cross.
And the bible pattern is that way too. Israel was chastised but never has been sent extinct.
I feel a very strong current of redemption building under the surface of this self inflicted agony. God has something at stake here that was never at stake during the Old Testament.

So do I HiTech. However, I also believe that the “agony” will worsen before that in order to fully awaken us. The great emphasis on evangelization (beginning with those IN the Church) from Church leaders and active members right now also confirms this to me.
