America During the Tribulation


During the tribulation, all who have committed themselves to Christ will be taken off this planet. Where will that leave the strength of this nation, this protector of freedom and human rights in this world?

As much as so many criticize and want to eliminate any religious reference in American government, it has been the basis of how this country was formed. It is the basis of our protection, our decision making processes, and our greatness. You do not have to be a Christian to have a good heart for others but without God you will not have His strength and wisdom behind your decisions. Without dedication to the word of God, America will not have the ability to balance decisions that benefit mankind. I realize these statements sound "right wing" or "the religious conservative." I disagree with labeling right or conservative (or whatever) simply because I accept the Biblical prophesy as truth. I view that belief much as I would review, evaluate and make a decision in business. For example, review our founding fathers’ statements regarding the importance of God in their decisions and in their life. Unlike today, the media didn’t label and discredit them for standing in God’s word. Even though there were opposing political parties, they didn’t feel the need to make flat statements based solely on if you lived your life for God.

I’m grateful I won’t be here during the time of the final Tribulation. I feel horror for those who will remain. This grand nation will no longer be anything but another land whipped by evil and suffering. Decisions will not have the moral truths as their guide thus allowing Satan to influence and destroy. As we count our blessings today, think through what God-based government decisions have formed in your world. What part of your world (government, home or business) functions well today because someone, at one time, based the formation on God’s word. Take the example of nations who currently have none of God’s word in their formation and function. The slaughter, the suppression, and the moral decay run rampant without God’s touch and balancing power.

Because all of God’s saved will be gone from America after the Tribulation, it will become just another land of the unjust and unholy. This should sober all Christians to work harder at bringing others to Christ. You are the influence God put in your work place and in others’ lives. While you are working on your career, remember to work on God’s plan for his children. You have chosen not to be here during this horrendous time. Work hard at showing others this option for their future. It is the only one for the wise.

I Thessalonians 3:11-13 "Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end he may stablish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints."
