Post Tribulation Rapture 2



Americans Will Suffer Tribulation

Jonah 1:1-2, “Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying. Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.”

There are many Christians and followers of Jesus the Christ who truly believe that all the mayhem and Christian prosecution happening in the majority of every other country will not come to America. Sadly, there is a great deal of loftiness with many Americans. As an American I too had this characteristics and I believe it’s a characteristic that just comes from being an American.

I have been guilty of watching the news regarding famine, disease and genocides in other countries and saying, “Glad I’m not living over there,” and that was as far as the concern went. Of course I never wished bad events on anyone and I honestly believe the majority of Americans want the best for everyone; however, if it’s not in our backyard—literally, it’s—somewhere over there and we move on. Again, that type of thinking just comes from being an American.

We have been the super power of all nations. America is the country where others have flocked in order to obtain the American Dream and make a better for their families. I remember growing up in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan where the majority of dads either worked for GM, Chrysler or Ford…and life was good!

Growing up the only things most children in the area had to concern themselves with was getting the left over food out of their lunch box, what trail will we take to go bike riding, what will we wear to Bob-o-lo Island (amusement park), what new dolls or doll house can we talk mom or dad into buying for us, and the main thing we had to concern ourselves with was…being in the house before the street lights came on—or else!

Living in Florida you get the opportunity of meeting people with different ethnicities, cultures and traditions. It was through the many years of living here, moving from the North to the South, where I could really appreciate the different cultures and ethnicities while humbling my beliefs on other cultures and ethnicities. When you grow up in the North a great number of us have this notion that we’re better than those who grew up in the South. This notion of having better education, skills, mannerisms and just overall status simply comes from being an American.

America has gotten to a point where everyone is better and knows more than the next person. Where truth sounds more like a fable and fables sound more like truth. II Timothy 4:3, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

As humans we enjoy messages that sound good and tickle our ears and make us cheerful and happy. Any messages that make us look at ourselves or the bigger picture of an issue as humans we will turn away from hearing messages as such. There’s a reason why Jesus stressed repentance, for the kingdom is at hand. Oftentimes, we enjoy messages or teachings but sometimes there’s a part of us that knows deep down—hmm, something is wrong with this teaching but as humans we ignore it and wish it away because it feels good to the ears!

A great many has become cold hearted, insincere, plainly out for themselves, a lover of themselves and filled with greed and lusts…and this is the world that we live in. With all this technology and the luxury of everything being at your fingertips has gone way over the top.

Times have drastically changed within a few short years. There was time when you could just turn the television set on; now you have to pay to watch local television. We text more than talk and we email more than physically writing to our loved ones. When we think about it, what we do on a daily basis is no different than what a robot could do if designed and trained.

Honestly, with all the technology, there is really no need to think or use common sense the computer or electronic device will do it all. We don’t have to remember our relatives or friends’ phone number for it’s programmed in our cell phone. We don’t have to map out our travel route; the GPS will do it all for us.

There was a time when the television networks went off air at midnight; now we can watch television all day and throughout the night. There was a time when people were literally keeping up with the Jones’ and now they’re literally keeping up with the Kardashians! The United States has become a place where you’re forced to upgrade what you have every couple of years. We’ve become dependant on our—stuff.

America has become very relaxed and lofty and will soon have to be humbled. I hear and see the comments of my fellow Americans stating nothing will ever happen to America it can’t we’re too strong. I have even seen and heard comments of people saying, “ISIS won’t come here! Their not that bold!”  I usually never comment on those types of statements sometimes or I simply reply with, ‘Think again’ as I think about one of leader’s messages to Americans:

I say to America, that the Islamic State has been established, and with god’s permission, it will not stop. You cowards, if you are real men, we are here on the ground. Don’t send your drones, send your soldiers whom we have humiliated in Iraq. And with God’s permission we will humiliate them everywhere. And God willing, we will raise our {ISIS} flag in the White House/”

According to the report on CNN this is highly unlikely that they will raise their flag at the White House and the United States officials are not looking at the possibility of anything happening beyond Iraq. Does this sound familiar?! Revelation 13:4, “…Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” I’ll say it again, this type of attitude displayed by our leaders just come from being an American. Most people don’t believe or consider the idea that something could happen in America. But we know that history repeats itself—with different characters and different settings.

We have to remember America, Mystery Babylon, (Revelation 17:16-17) is overthrown and destroyed by God’s enemies forever (Jeremiah 51:26). At some point in time this will happen. With each generation that passes we get further and further away from God and closer to the coming of Jesus.

Hosea 4:1-2, “…because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. Bu swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.”

We can see Bible prophecy unfolding right before our eyes—if your eyes are open. We are so close to the birthing of a new age. We are no longer in birth pains but now it’s time for the actual birth. As believers in the Word of God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob we need to—get ready! We have an appointment with the Most High God.

WHY AMERICA



Matthew 12:39, “…An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:”

In the Book of Jonah we read that Jonah was to arise and go warn the people of Nineveh of their wickedness and idol worship. Thus revealing to them that their sins went up before God and God was planning to destroy them and have their city overthrown unless they repented and turned from their wicked ways. And this type of destruction is not new or out of character for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. When we hear about the wickedness of cities in the Bible and God’s plans for their wickedness, which always is some type of destruction, I can’t understand why it’s so hard to believe that one day God will judge America!

All the wickedness that America does in the sight of God will one day be judged and the people will be humbled. There will be much weeping and mourning under the sun when that day comes.

I understand that a great many Americans love this country and will fight for this country to their demise. As an American I understand but a great majority of Americans have forgotten all of the wickedness, bloodshed, and malicious acts that have been done by our leaders, politicians, law enforcement and the citizens as well.

So one can’t possibly believe that our heavenly Father will accept sex trafficking. Once can’t possibly believe that God understands and accepts the 3,000 abortions per week. We definitely can’t believe that God is happy with a homosexual pastor leading His flock. Perhaps there are some that do believe God is happy with the ways of America…I don’t know.

Isaiah 26:11, “LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.”

A person can’t honestly believe that God has forgotten all about slavery and the innocent murders and lynching of young children, women and men. A person can’t truly believe God has forgotten about the Native Americans that were slaughtered supposedly in the name of God while many Americans stood by and--watched. A lot of people don’t realize that although there are/were a great many Native Americans who follow different paths, a great number of them were followers of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob but their style of worship was not considered—correct.

Deuteronomy 32:43, “Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land and to his people.”

God has not forgotten about all the innocent lives that were taken on American soil.  Hosea 7:2, “And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.”

We can’t possibly believe that the Father of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob willingly accepts the marriages of two men or two women unified in the house of God! One can’t possibly believe that God will accept and turn a blind eye to another Sodom and Gomorrah way of life!

In God We Trust is displayed on currency which the lack thereof and the more thereof has led to the deaths and trafficking of many. And many of my fellow Americans boldly yell, “God Bless America!” Really! No Christian would actually have the audacity to believe that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would bless this nation. Are we reading about the same God? The God that put an end to all flesh with a flood; the same God that rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah with brimstone and fire; the same God that killed Israelite men, women and children in the wilderness…surely anyone who boldly states God Bless America is referring to another God!

Jeremiah 51:9, “We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.”

There are more examples that I could give proving why judgment has to come to America but if you’ve been living in America your entire life there are plenty of examples you can offer as well. A person can certainly pretend that none of these things happened and are still happening today but just because a person pretends and wishes past and current events away doesn’t mean they never existed and it certainly does not mean that it does not exist today.

Right now America is a nation divided and we all know that anything divided can’t stand. A family divided can’t stand and a nation divided can’t stand and will surely fall. Right now our leaders are intentionally pushing division with race relations; we are divided in the political arena; we are divided by social status and class; we are divided even in our churches where division should not have a home.

Religion and race has been America’s biggest divisions. In the name of God the KKK, along with law enforcement and other citizens killed many Blacks, Native Americans, Jews, and other non-Whites—in the name of God and purity on American soil.

And now America will fall in the name of Allah; and it will be overthrown by a different race than our leaders; and it will be destroyed by our heavenly Father’s enemies according to His Will. 
The angels and saints in heaven and people standing afar off rejoice at America’s fall (Revelation 18:10, 21). There’s something to be said about. What could a nation do that would make the angels, prophets, and apostles in heaven rejoice at her fall?!

Revelation 18:20, “Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.”

That’s a hard message to take in and it certainly is not a message to tickle the ears truth never is. As I stated prior just because we sweep events under the rug it doesn’t mean that event has vanished for one day that rug will be moved and the event will no longer be hidden.

GET READY

As believers in Jesus and the Word of God we don’t know exactly what will happen on each given day of God’s judgment in America. But we do know that God’s judgment is coming. When God’s judgment comes on the land many will not believe it is from God and will say, “…Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.” Deuteronomy 32:27. However, the faithful believers because we are awake and discerning the signs of the times will know exactly what is happening and consider our latter end. Now is the time to repent, pray and fast.

We know we must still occupy until our Messiah returns. Spreading the Word, (not bombarding our message on others), and doing our part as believers in Jesus by the means and gifts that the heavenly Father has provided you with. And occupying doesn’t always mean going door to door, street preaching, writing articles, or having a ministry. There are many prayer warriors within the Christian community and some pray many hours throughout the day.

I strongly believe when certain storms are expected to hit an area and all of a sudden it turns without warning and then goes back into the ocean. I believe that was the hand of God redirecting the storm, answering the prayers of His children. Those prayer warriors who may or may not be members of a church but they fervently stay in prayer.

Repentance is very important in these latter days. As always use discernment in everything you do and our heavenly Father will direct you in all of your ways.
