A couple of observations:
Jeremiah 29 contains a principle regarding how/that God knows His people and where they are. And that they might have to wait a long time for Him to decide when things will change.
We have a couple of different possibilities as to when the Book of Revelation was written. If written before 66/67 AD ...well, we need to consider the implications of how that is relevant to this discussion.
Thirdly, do you think God is aware of what is happening on earth? And do you think that He has more to say about what happens than, say, Hitler, or the CIA, or Little Rocket Man, or Taliban, or Pelosi, or Biden?
I sure don’t understand much of what is going on. But it seems obvious that America is already being judged, and that there is only Salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ.
You bring up a lot of good points.
Let’s start with Psalm 2
Psalm 2:1-12
1 Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together,
against the LORD
and against His Anointed One
3 “Let us break Their chains
and cast away Their cords.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord taunts them.
5 Then He rebukes them in His anger,
and terrifies them in His fury:
6 “I have installed My King on Zion,
upon My holy mountain.”
7 I will proclaim the decree
spoken to Me by the LORD:
“You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father.
8 Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance,
the ends of the earth Your possession.
9 You will break them with an iron scepter;
You will shatter them like pottery.”
10 Therefore be wise, O kings;
be admonished, O judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry
and you perish in your rebellion,
when His wrath ignites in an instant.
Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
Even though it’s the Old Testament, notice the references to Jesus (Son, and all who take refuge in Him) etc.
Next let’s check our Romans 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 2 5who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
That description reminds me a lot of America and the western world in general (Europe, North and South America). Maybe the entire world?
Lastly, I’ll posit to you 2 Timothy 3:1-7
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Sounds like it’s todays world no?
So, my takeaways are:
1. Yes, God is aware of what is happening and He is working His plans according to His Will for those who Love Him (Romans 8:28)
2. He controls everything, and just as Hitler and Pharaoh and those before - He laughs at their plans and will judge every one of them with His Iron Fist of Judgement in all due time. Nobody will escape that.
3. In my opinion FRiend, you need to be ready to meet Jesus TODAY!!! You already wrote that you believe and that there is only Salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ - I say AMEN! We all need to fix and improve our report cards. Tell your friends, your family, your coworkers - they may call you crazy (so what?), but you are doing them a service by advising them that these perilous times that we are living in are a lot closer to happening than anybody else realizes.
