Leon Sexton’s View of America from Thailand

Tribal Girls in Thailand

Legacy Institute’s Leon Sexton has been based out of Thailand for over a decade. Here is what his latest newsletter reports about his view of the United States (bolding mine):

I grew up in the United States of America with a constitution and leadership that guaranteed my rights and my freedom. I have never faced the fear of armed soldiers dragging my family members out of their homes in the middle of the night or bullets suddenly flying through the walls of my house. I have never been in prison and have never gone hungry more than a day.

But let me give a warning. That is all temporary… Even our own freedoms are quickly being taken away. As an American living outside of the country and looking in, I see sweeping changes taking place. If I lived in the U.S. today, I would no longer feel so safe.

The point I am making is that we will never see the reality of real peace, safety, freedom, and lasting prosperity until Our Lord Jesus brings the Kingdom to this earth. Any freedom, peace, and prosperity we enjoy now are only temporary reprieves from the realities of a world ruled by Satan..

With all of the town-hall protests and “TEA parties” in the USA this year, it seems that many Americans share at least some of Leon Sexton’s views.

We in the Living Church of God, while not getting politically involved in the tax and health care debates, understand and teach that Bible prophecy shows that the destruction of the United States and its Anglo-allies (Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand) will happen. And many of us suspect that it will happen some time next decade.

Do Mayan/Hindu/Hopi/Buddhist/New Age/Nostradamus prophecies have any value here? Why might Satan have inspired this date? Does the Dresden codex show destruction of the earth by flood? Can the great tribulation start before 2012? How might Barack Obama be involved in 2012?
