Is God giving America up?

[Aidan1]

And He in all His glory AND wrath is coming very soon--I for one can not wait!!!

Yes, and all your unbeliving family members and friends will be under this wrath.

 

[followJesustoday]

Yes, and all your unbelieving family members and friends will be under this wrath.

Thanks for reminding me but most of my family are believers---not my friends so much

 

[Guojing]

And He in all His glory AND wrath is coming very soon--I for one can not wait!!!

You cannot wait to go thru that wrath?

 

[followJesustoday]

You cannot wait to go thru that wrath?

Not quite----I am a faithful believer in Christ and those who DO believe are risen up by Jesus and taken to
where He is.

(continued from my last post)

Although there are other descriptors given to us of this “another beast” in the book of Revelation, I’m addressing its inception at the moment, so let’s do a quick review of what we know in relation to the same.

1. This “another beast” (Rev. 13:11) is another kingdom.
2. This “another beast” or another kingdom appears chronologically AFTER “the first beast before him” (Rev. 13:12) or after the Papacy.
3. This “another beast” or another kingdom has “two horns” (Rev. 13:11) or is a composite of two kingdoms.
4. This “another beast” or another kingdom is depicted as “a lamb” (Rev. 13:11), which is A YOUNG SHEEP, so it is representative of a kingdom in its infancy.
5. This “another beast” or another kingdom is, once again, depicted as having “two horns like a lamb” (Rev. 13:11), and everywhere in the book of Revelation a “lamb” is representative of Jesus Christ. Therefore, this another kingdom, in its infancy, is comprised of two kingdoms which profess to be CHRISTIAN in nature.
6. This “another beast” or another kingdom, although it “had two horns like a lamb” or although it professed to be a composite of two CHRISTIAN nations, actually “spoke as a dragon” (Rev. 13:11) or was SATANIC in nature.

Whether you want to accept it or not, this “another beast” or another kingdom is none other than the USA in which many of us here live.

It truly is a kingdom which arrived on the scene, in its infancy, after the Papacy, and it truly is a composite of two nations, England and America, which both profess to be Christian in nature, but are actually Satanic in nature.

In fact, we’ve got a whole region in the USA that is known as “NEW ENGLAND”.

Furthermore, states such as NEW Hampshire (which is part of New England)…

https://statesymbolsusa.org/symbol-...pshire/state-name-origin/origin-new-hampshire

…NEW York…

https://statesymbolsusa.org/symbol-...ate-name-origin-state-quarter/origin-new-york

…and NEW Jersey…

https://statesymbolsusa.org/symbol-official-item/new-jersey/state-name-origin/origin-new-jersey

…were all named after places in ENGLAND.

Further still, there are many today who claim that the USA has been under control of the British Crown since 1871.

If you’re not familiar with such claims, then the following website does a pretty good job of explaining the same:

https://freedom-school.com/the-united-states-is-a-corporation.html

Whether or not the USA truly is still under the control of England, it is NOT, in accordance with THE CHRISTIAN GOD’S WORD, a “Christian nation”, nor has it ever truly been.

That’s reality, and if you’re a professing Christian who believes otherwise, then, I’ll tell you plainly, YOU ARE GREATLY DECEIVED!

Let’s shift our focus from God to the actual words and works of our founding fathers.

Were our founding fathers Christians?

The correct answer to this question is a resounding “NO!”.

At best, they were Deists, and NOT Christians.

If you don’t know what deism is, then this brief definition should help:

https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/deism

deism

NOUN

Belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe. The term is used chiefly of an intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th centuries that accepted the existence of a creator on the basis of reason but rejected belief in a supernatural deity who interacts with humankind.

Don’t miss the “intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th centuries” part because that is precisely the timeframe in which the USA was founded.

Also, don’t miss the part about how deists “reject belief in a supernatural deity who interacts with humankind” because this perfectly describes several of our founding fathers.

For example, Thomas Jefferson, one of the signers of “The Declaration of Independence”, wrote his own Bible…a Bible that denied the deity of Christ, and a Bible that removed all supernatural occurrences:

https://www.history.com/news/thomas-jefferson-bible-religious-beliefs

If you’d like to know what our founding fathers truly believed in relation to Christ/Christianity, then I would highly recommend the following documentary, “The Hidden Faith of the Founding Fathers”, which details their actual beliefs from their own writings and the writings of those who knew them personally:

If you don’t want to take the time to deprogram yourselves from that which you’ve more than likely been brainwashed into believing by watching this 3-hour documentary, then, hopefully, you can at least take a moment to look at “The Great Seal” that our founding fathers designed which currently is printed on the back of a “One Dollar” bill.

Looking at the same, we see an unfinished pyramid, with its capstone not yet in place, with the Roman numerals “MDCCLXXVI”, which translate into “1776”, the time of this nation’s inception, at its base.

Inside of the capstone we see an eye, which, according to the official narrative, is representative of “the eye of Providence”:

https://www.greatseal.com/symbols/eye.html

Our founding fathers hated the Christian God so much that they deliberately used words like “Providence” while describing their “god”.

Encircling the pyramid and its capstone which is not yet set in place, we see the Latin words “ANNUIT COEPTIS NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM”, which translate into English as “He has approved of our undertakings: A New Order for the Ages” or, what many call it today, “A New World Order”.

For those of us who live in America, our forefathers have told us, albeit in a cryptic manner, precisely what their true desires were from this nation’s inception way back in 1776:

A NEW ORDER FOR THE AGES or A NEW WORLD ORDER.

That’s reality…whether you like it or not.

In fact, if you watch the following video entitled “New World Order Quote Compilation”, then you will both see and hear many of our nation’s leaders, some past and some present, both Republicans and Democrats alike, plainly tell you that a “New World Order” is precisely what they are after…just as our forefathers were.

Better (worse?) still, if you simply skip to the 7:27 mark of the video, then you will see and hear Nancy Pelosi say the following, and I quote:

“As I’ve told you before, because I love it so much, they also created ‘The Great Seal of the United States’. And that ‘Great Seal of the United States’ has on it ‘Novus Ordo Seclorum’…a ‘New Order for the Centuries…for the Ages…Forever’.”

This is what Nancy Pelosi LOVES SO MUCH, and she’s not alone.

Although our founding fathers and present-day politicians would have us to believe that God is the one who “approves of such undertakings”, the Bible tells a completely different story.

For starters, in scripture, Jesus Christ, the epitome of humility, is symbolized as “the chief cornerstone” (Psa. 118:22, Isa. 28:16, Matt. 21:42, Mark 12:10, Luke 20:17, Acts 4:11, Eph. 2:20, I Pet. 2:6-7), or as the one upon whom all things are built, and NOT as the capstone.

Furthermore, God’s desire has NEVER been “A New World Order”, but rather a “new heavens”, a “new earth”, and, ultimately, a “new Jerusalem” which will all be set in place after Christ’s coming Millennial Reign.

Well, if Jesus Christ isn’t the capstone of this “New Order for the Ages” or “New World Order”, then who is?

The antichrist.

That’s who.

Who has ears to hear, let them hear.

Not to think I am ignoring what you are presenting here but it is going to take a long time to decipher what all this means,
especially 'another beast' being America. That's crazy!---anyway---You sound like a very intelligent person and know MUCH more than I about bible history. I'll have lots of time to study it all, as I lost my job a couple days ago!--Wondering what God is doing with me now?

Don't worry about me feeling ignored.

I made that post in order to allow the Bible to be its own interpreter or to define its own terminology.

When it comes to Bible prophecy, we need to know what was actually prophesied first before we can begin to look for its fulfillment.

Not too sure why you think that it's crazy for America to be shown in a negative light in scripture because this nation is exceedingly wicked in God's eyes no matter how you slice it.

Anyhow, take your time, and, as with anything else that is shared here, always ask God to guide you by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth.

That's your safeguard from being deceived.

the American atheists represent a pretty small number of people but they have for years through the aclu been cutting away all things tied to God in this country thier current target is in God we trust being on the money the way things are going I’m expecting that to happen sometime relatively soon with this wierd whole world we’re in

[Gideon300]

In order to express who God is(Holiness, Truth, Love, and Justice), He must punish sin. As Christians living in America today, we should not be surprised that the sins spewing out of this country makes God angry. To deny how angry it makes Him, is to deny the necessity of Christ's work on the cross for the sins of humanity. God's wrath toward the sins of America is being revealed to the entire world. In the book of Romans, the first chapter, we can see how our Lord "gives up" a nation who continually lives in sin and does not repent. This wrath that is vented toward the unrepented sins of America is not of eternal judgement, nor is it the wrath of the great tribulation. Its the wrath of the present revelation of God's righteousness. America has "held the truth in unrighteousness." This means, America has received the truth of God's Word, but has yielded to unrighteousness. Is God giving America up?

Romans 1:17 "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: As it is written, the just shall live by faith." Righteousness is God's essential attribute. To those who practice God's righteousness Paul says, "The just shall live by faith." We as a nation should remember that God is our source of provision and that everything we have or ever will have is ultimately from Him.

Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness." 1. "ungodliness", is the failure of spiritual discernment. 2. "unrighteousness", is the failure of the moral lives of people and how they treat each other. America has failed in both of these.

America has "held the truth", in God's word, but now the wrath of God is being revealed. Its not eternal wrath because that would be final judgement into the lake of fire. Satan and his followers have deceived so many, not only in this country but the entire world. America has abandoned the truth for so long now that it seems as though God is turning the country over to its sinful desires.

"God gave them up" No one will be able to stand before God and have an excuse as to why they didn't believe. Everyone is accountable to Him. In Romans 1:24-32, Paul tells us three times that "God gave them up." When a nation has been given ample amounts of evidence of God and His nature, He then expresses His wrath and justification by allowing those to be consumed with the desire to sin, having a "reprobate mind".

Romans 1:21 "when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened." It seems with each year that passes by, America is acknowledging God less and dishonoring Him more. This nation's heart has become dark, that it cannot reason correctly or give thanks to almighty God.

Romans 1:26-27 "for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Also the men leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due." These behaviors and many more are exactly what we see in our country today. Its the opposite of the natural harmony of God's moral laws. America has abandoned self-control, is driven by lust, and participates in sexually impure acts.

Significant dates attributed to God's wrath:
1963..........The Supreme Court ruled that Bible readings and prayer in public schools were unconstitutional.
1965..........Immigration and Nationality Act permitted more Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu immigrants into the U.S. changing the religious landscape of the country.
1971..........Sojourners magazine was founded, which promoted a greater prominence of liberal Christian views.
1973..........Supreme Court ruled to legalize abortion.
1980..........Marjorie Matthews was elected first female Bishop of any mainline Christian Church and pioneered the 80's for future women pastors.
1988..........biological fathers had no right to stop the pregnant mother from murdering his child.
1990's.........religious nonaffiliation in America started rising.
2015..........legalized same sex marriage
2016..........state and private institutions had to allow transgender students to use restrooms according to their gender identity.

Ephesians 5:6-7 "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. But not ye therefore partakers with them." We became targets the day we believed and accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. There will be constant temptations and solicitations to evil, therefore believers must always be proving or discerning WHAT IS and WHAT IS NOT acceptable to the Lord.

Final thoughts
America is the greatest country in the world. Examining America more closely in areas such as Technology, Biology, Agriculture, etc., it can be argued that the United States is still the best in the world. The attributes that contributed to God's wrath and "giving America up", is far more than the events that happened on specific dates. It seems as though God has allowed America "free reign" expressing sin unchecked, which results in the natural system of cause and effect. America, it would appear, has been portrayed as a nation who has progressively been pushing God further and further away. God has been expressing His wrath by allowing this nation the things it wants and condemning those to suffer the painful consequences that came with it. Because America hasn't given the honor God deserves, He has let America do what it wants, to dishonor itself and being "given up" to those sinful desires.

The rise of China, funded and promoted by America (and other nations), civil unrest, drug abuse, crime, shooting deaths, the legitamisation of homosexuality, BLM, suppression of free speech and conservative ideas, ever increasing gap between haves and have nots...... some aspects of the rot that has set into the USA, and, to a degree, other Western nations.

It used to be (now not so Great) Britain that was the leading nation of the world. Queen Victoria picked up a Bible and said it was the Bible that made Britain great. Queen Elizabeth II is a remarkable woman of faith, but Britain was in decline well before she took the throne. The USA took advantage of WW2 to bankrupt much of Europe while prospering on the war effort. God's judgement on the evils of European culture that treated Jews so badly. If ever America deserts Israel, it will descend once more into a backwater. The USA had around an army of 200,000 when Pearl Harbor was attacked. That was about as many as Yugoslavia. It would take very little to bring the USA to its knees. Meanwhile China buys Australian iron ore and builds ship to threaten South East Asia. That happens to be Australia's front yard. Our only hope is that Chinese ships are built with the same quality steel as they export back to Australia. They won't survive the regular cyclones that hit our region.

God used nations including Egypt, Assyria, Greece and Rome to harass and even enslave Israel. Don't be surprised if China plays the same role. To whom much is given, much is required. Over the last few decades, little has been given in return for God's graciousness. The day of reckoning will come.

It's easy to blame the world. That is also incorrect. The church is the true authority in the world. We are responsible for the state of our nations. 2 Chronicles 7:14 comes to mind about now.

Hopefully, there is enough remnant that God will spare us...

God will only save his elect that he chosen before the world was created. Just read lot story.

 

[GRACE_ambassador]

Evangelical churches have declined 49% since 2009.

Precious friend, as well they should. Many are done with all the Confusion
about water baptism, tongues, miracles, healings, and end times. They are
starting their own "studies" at homes, in small groups. Amen?

Hopefully some will find out Exactly HOW to obey God's Command in
2 Timothy 2:15 KJB! Solving ALL of the Confusion, And, Then getting
out the PURE Gospel Of The GRACE Of God, Where God's SAVES individuals!!

God is NOT "healing" nations, Today! WHEN GRACE Is OVER/ENDED, THEN,
HE WILL RESUME "His Prophetic Program," In Great Tribulation, Dealing With
HIS "Nation of ISRAEL," And ALL the nations...

Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!
God's SimpleWill!

 

[SophieT]

God will only save his elect that he chosen before the world was created. Just read lot story.

oh you speak for God do you?

John 3:16

 

[GRACE_ambassador]

I lost my job a couple days ago!--Wondering what God is doing with me now?

Precious friend, sorry to hear. Praying for you, hopefully This will help
on your journey = "What Will God do with me now.

Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified!
This = God's Simple Will!

 

[John146]

God will only save his elect that he chosen before the world was created. Just read lot story.

You've taken verses way out of context, but that's for another thread.

 

[Nebuchadnezzer]

It's easy to blame the world. That is also incorrect. The church is the true authority in the world. We are responsible for the state of our nations. 2 Chronicles 7:14 comes to mind about now.

The church is the spiritual authority in the world. It is not a literal authority. A literal authority in this world bares arms and armed forces.

The church is not responsible for the state of our nations. The church is commanded to make disciples and baptize them in the name of the Father Son, and Holy Spirit. The church is not to take up arms and conquer as in Old Testament ways. The church is to be separate from the governments of this world.

In the old testament there was a literal wall of separation in Jersusalum. It separated Jerusalem from the rest of the world - literally. Today, that is to be applied spiritually - a spiritual wall of separation from the church and the world. America is founded on this biblical principle: separation of church and state.

The church can be an influence, even a strong influence on the USA. But today it is not. Why?
The problem is within. Christianity is not pointing the finger at other people as being the problem.
Christianity is pointing the finger at oneself as being the problem.

Why is America moving away from God? Maybe because the church is failing to carry out the great commision.

 

[Lanolin]

im not sure the peoples of america (both north and south) worshipped God to begin with but many certainly do not now and dont know Him. And many in churches dont have much influence on the way people live, they have kinda adapted to the darkness of the world and its idols instead of being a shining light to it.

so if it was ever there to begin with, its not now as the glory has departed.

That being said there are still pockets of christians living in america that havent succumbed to the mammon is God thing, although the rate people are destroying the amazon rainforests and polluting the neeby pacific ocean suggest otherwise.

]Study all national power in all history will show nothing new under the sun, they all go into lower state of power. same with health that changes. and good and bad. thoughts have created everything that was once unbelief and impossible, the power is unseen that creates every thing. science is always after the impossible happens, history is recording outside caused by thoughts that is created by good and bad.


THAT WHICH ALREADY HAS BEEN
We will take a simple little verse and show you why it is not addressed to the natural man, Ecclesiastes 3:15:

“That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.”​

The “natural man” cannot grasp that, for to him reality is based only on the evidence of the senses. The man of reason could justify the verse’s end, saying if it has any meaning then the writer must mean recurrence. The sun comes every day and the moon completes its cycle and the seasons come and go. If we took a picture of the universe today, the scientists can compute how long it will take to return to this point in the picture. So the intellectual man could justify the verse; but that is not what is meant, for it is addressed not to the man of reason or the man of sense, but to the man of Imagination. What is it all about? “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been, and God seeks what has been driven away.”

Sins have always spewed from America.
- Slavery
- the careless and reckless slaughter of the buffalo to hurt the indian
- the abusive exploit of child labor
- a disregard for safe work practices.
- hatred, lynching, the KKK
- Dilinger, Al Capone, and other gansters

Today the sins that spew might be different, but are they any worse? I don't think so.

Agreed. I just think the thread title is a little too self centered lol

In order to express who God is(Holiness, Truth, Love, and Justice), He must punish sin. As Christians living in America today, we should not be surprised that the sins spewing out of this country makes God angry. To deny how angry it makes Him, is to deny the necessity of Christ's work on the cross for the sins of humanity. God's wrath toward the sins of America is being revealed to the entire world. In the book of Romans, the first chapter, we can see how our Lord "gives up" a nation who continually lives in sin and does not repent. This wrath that is vented toward the unrepented sins of America is not of eternal judgement, nor is it the wrath of the great tribulation. Its the wrath of the present revelation of God's righteousness. America has "held the truth in unrighteousness." This means, America has received the truth of God's Word, but has yielded to unrighteousness. Is God giving America up?

Romans 1:17 "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: As it is written, the just shall live by faith." Righteousness is God's essential attribute. To those who practice God's righteousness Paul says, "The just shall live by faith." We as a nation should remember that God is our source of provision and that everything we have or ever will have is ultimately from Him.

Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness." 1. "ungodliness", is the failure of spiritual discernment. 2. "unrighteousness", is the failure of the moral lives of people and how they treat each other. America has failed in both of these.

America has "held the truth", in God's word, but now the wrath of God is being revealed. Its not eternal wrath because that would be final judgement into the lake of fire. Satan and his followers have deceived so many, not only in this country but the entire world. America has abandoned the truth for so long now that it seems as though God is turning the country over to its sinful desires.

"God gave them up" No one will be able to stand before God and have an excuse as to why they didn't believe. Everyone is accountable to Him. In Romans 1:24-32, Paul tells us three times that "God gave them up." When a nation has been given ample amounts of evidence of God and His nature, He then expresses His wrath and justification by allowing those to be consumed with the desire to sin, having a "reprobate mind".

Romans 1:21 "when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened." It seems with each year that passes by, America is acknowledging God less and dishonoring Him more. This nation's heart has become dark, that it cannot reason correctly or give thanks to almighty God.

Romans 1:26-27 "for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Also the men leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due." These behaviors and many more are exactly what we see in our country today. Its the opposite of the natural harmony of God's moral laws. America has abandoned self-control, is driven by lust, and participates in sexually impure acts.

Significant dates attributed to God's wrath:
1963..........The Supreme Court ruled that Bible readings and prayer in public schools were unconstitutional.
1965..........Immigration and Nationality Act permitted more Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu immigrants into the U.S. changing the religious landscape of the country.
1971..........Sojourners magazine was founded, which promoted a greater prominence of liberal Christian views.
1973..........Supreme Court ruled to legalize abortion.
1980..........Marjorie Matthews was elected first female Bishop of any mainline Christian Church and pioneered the 80's for future women pastors.
1988..........biological fathers had no right to stop the pregnant mother from murdering his child.
1990's.........religious nonaffiliation in America started rising.
2015..........legalized same sex marriage
2016..........state and private institutions had to allow transgender students to use restrooms according to their gender identity.

Ephesians 5:6-7 "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. But not ye therefore partakers with them." We became targets the day we believed and accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. There will be constant temptations and solicitations to evil, therefore believers must always be proving or discerning WHAT IS and WHAT IS NOT acceptable to the Lord.

Final thoughts
America is the greatest country in the world. Examining America more closely in areas such as Technology, Biology, Agriculture, etc., it can be argued that the United States is still the best in the world. The attributes that contributed to God's wrath and "giving America up", is far more than the events that happened on specific dates. It seems as though God has allowed America "free reign" expressing sin unchecked, which results in the natural system of cause and effect. America, it would appear, has been portrayed as a nation who has progressively been pushing God further and further away. God has been expressing His wrath by allowing this nation the things it wants and condemning those to suffer the painful consequences that came with it. Because America hasn't given the honor God deserves, He has let America do what it wants, to dishonor itself and being "given up" to those sinful desires.

I agree that we or (they) are giving up America and it's moral values. The politicians we have in Washington are corrupt and seem to hate America and what it stands for!!. Everything is going to pot as far as values , freedom, etc. People are turning against Christians with so many turning away from the church and wanting to just do as they please. Today wrong is right and right is wrong. Everything is backwards from the way I was raised, and that is to be considerate of others, be respectful of others, be tolerant of others. Do unto others as you would have done to you?? Seems to be a thing of the past. I believe it is and it says this in the bible, that it is only going to get worse the closer to Jesus return. It is almost dangerous to be a Christian now days. We need prayer more than ever and to keep steadfast in God's Word.!!
