A short time ago a question was posted on Linkedin. The question was, "Will America survive the coming tribulation?" I answered that question as follows.
"I believe we are now living in the time our Lord called the beginning of sorrows, such being famines, earthquakes, pestilences...or elsewhere...the seas raging...the nations angry...men's hearts failing them for fear of those things coming on the world...the earth wobbling as though a drunken man...with only a few men left...eating and drinking and giving in marriage as in the days of Noah...Will America survive? Isn't this the time, the time of trial coming upon the whole world? How can America escape tribulation, seeing that it is to come upon the entire world? And seeing it is this country that is most like reprobate Israel before Titus ravaged the cities and land and scattered them among the nations? How can America escape?"
The one thing about America that disturbs me the most is the visible contempt many have for Christians and the Bible. Their contempt for God has taken the form of many perversions, but of those many forms the one that disturbs me the most is the shedding of innocent blood. Of course the bloodletting going on also has many forms, but the one that disturbs me the most is the bloodletting of a child in its mother's womb.
God has used analogies that cover several thousand years to illustrate His dealings with those that are wicked and those that are good, the most profound being His dealings with His people Israel. As God was to Israel in 70 A.D in His judgement of them... (pouring His wrath upon those of Israel that were the sons of Hell because of all the righteous blood spilled by them from Abel to that of our Lord's)...so shall it be poured out on America and all the world in this time...[b]Consider this...the life is in the blood[/b]...therefore, when a fetus in her mother's womb has blood, that child has life....that blood is innocent blood....righteous blood…
Therefore you spawns of Hell...wise rulers of this nation that have justified and do justify the murder of the unborn...their blood is upon your hands. Human life is in the blood! Consider what our Lord said to the bloodletters of His day...
Matt.23
[35] That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
The judgment of Israel that came upon them for taking the lives of the righteous was in microcosm God’s statement to the entire world from then until now the fate of those who take pleasure in doing wrong, the most prominent offense being the murder of the righteous. Please consider how awful Israel’s punishment was…invaded by Titus and his legions, taken captive and scattered throughout all nations to be shamed and hunted and persecuted, tortured and killed, their last torment the worst of all, 6 million destroyed at the hands of the most wicked of the day, the Nazi’s of Germany. How long did God’s wrath abide on Israel for killing the righteous innocents? Didn’t it last almost 2 thousand years?
How many righteous men, women, and children have been killed since Titus invaded Israel, many martyred for their testimony of Jesus? It is interesting to note that it is in the Book of Revelation we are given a vision of those slain for the word of God and the testimony they held and that immediately afterward man is made to know the great wrath of God and our Lord that is to befall them. It is because of the blood of the righteous still on the hands of many and yet to be on many more hands as those that despise God continue gathering to oppose our Lord’s coming.
[b]Pss.2
[1] Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
[2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
[3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
[4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
[5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
[6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
[7] I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
[8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
[9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
[10] Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
[11] Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
[12] Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. [/b]
