Every country that was overthrown and became communist automatically became a closed country to missionary endeavors. Those Christians found within the borders, were and are severely persecuted, even unto death.
If the USA falls to full blown Communism, you, me, and every saint we know will automatically be in peril.
This doesn't mean that God is not sovereign, or that He has somehow lost control of the situation, but let us admit, in the granting of free will, God has permitted much in this world to happen, even if by just not intercepting any activity and making in stop/come to an end.
The USA is not special. As she continues to fall into greater and greater toxicity and rejection of God-ordained morality, the more and more God will give her up to her own lusts. Our culture, and the depths to which it sinks, will trip some seriously intense spiritual triggers.
Right now, no real hindrances or persecutions exist. But try going to North Korea to share the Good News and so, be a herald of the Kingdom of God. You won't make it out of the country alive, if you can even get in, in the first place.
How many millions of people in North Korea, Cuba, China, Laos, and Vietnam are never going to have a chance to hear about Jesus and receive TRUTH, simply because of the communist regimes put into place by revolutionaries like Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, and etc.?
How many millions lived and died, never hearing a word about the Cross because men like Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, Pol Pot, Ceausescu, and others, kept their citizens in spiritual darkness, by controlling them through government policy?
