Well I would agree at least generally speaking. Peter said the "end of all things was at hand" in the first century.
7: But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 1 Peter 4:7
Being a post trib believer I feel we are probably a few years away from the great tribulation. Before then I see things getting worse than we have ever known in America.
Great Depression could be brewing even now. Look at the "natural disasters"!
Sin has gotten to the point the land itself seems to be vomiting out its inhabitants.
24: Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. Lev. 18:24-25
Tornado's and floods are doing much damage. Hurricanes like Katrina hitting the coasts. Last year our region was in
exceptional drought. The earthquakes are yet to come but on the way.
The persecution I see coming will fall on those who speak against the sins of the nation. Dare to speak out on homosexuality and you risk your job even now.
I dont think Islamics will be here beheading us in America. Our Government could easily go Communist in the coming years. I could envision some of the major cities being nuked by them though.
In the end of days I believe Nuclear fire will bring America down. Before the coming of Yeshua Saints will be going the way of martyrs. This will become a fully anti christ nation.
Readiness to face all these things is crucial. Those who have tasted and seen that the Lord is good will be able to hold on but even then it will be hard.
The Lord is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
YHWH is at this time preparing a people to fulfill
THIS end time role.
32: And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33: And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Dan. 11:32-33
The coming days will not be pretty. But those who dwell in the secret place will find their joy in him and
HIM ALONE.
I will call your name before the Lord in prayer tonight for end time strength as you are one of the few that seem concerned about these things.
At least from the response so far. peace, mike
