As beautiful and well-thought out that was, you are preaching to another dispensation. God is not forming a nation of believers right now, He is forming a BODY of believers, located in the heavenlies, and based purely on the finished work of Christ. The dispensation of the grace of God. It began with the saving and raising up of Paul, and will continue until the final believer is brought into the Body, at which time Christ will return to the air to resurrect our bodies and change those who are alive and remain, to conform to His glorious Body. Thus shall we ever be with the Lord. As far as praying that God would bless us on this present evil world, we are told to keep our eyes focused upward, that is where all our blessings are. We are blessed with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places IN CHRIST.

There will be no revival during this time of the dispensation of the grace of God. There will be apostacy. People with itching ears. Romans through Philemon would give you all the information you need to understand this time we are in.

I agree with everything you say, except the part about a “nation” of believers. As believers, we are the body of Christ and make up His Bride. As individuals, everything you say is on the money. The God principle in discussion here is we, as believers, will suffer with the unjust if we allow our land to be defiled. If Iran is used to punish us, as Pharaoh was used to punish Israel, then believers will be destroyed in the mushroom just as the lost. The land we live in is being defiled as we speak. God’s promise is to “vomit” out,....now get this,.....His people, if they allow named abominations to occur. I will go to Heaven along with all saved souls, but our land is still lost. It won’t make a difference to me if I’m with Jesus, but don’t you have any burden for other souls? God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I completely agree with Romans through Philemon, but the principle of losing your land hasn’t changed. The Bible is talking to believers all over the world not just Americans. My point is America is inviting His wrath. South Korea could keep functioning just fine if America became and afterthought. Dead Christians go to heaven no matter where they came from and how they die.
