Empire\u2019s Fate: America under siege and at a crossroads<\/h2>\n

Nothing lives forever, and nations are no exception. The reasons for the downfall of great nations and empires are complex, but if you want to see a great country decline and crumble, it is enough to watch it cancel its culture and destroy its economy through an abandonment of values and fiscal irresponsibility.<\/p>\n

Unnatural cultural and economic conditions will lead inevitably to social polarization and civil unrest. This leads to an erosion of democracy, less freedom, and less economic opportunity.<\/p>\n

Due to the pandemic, we have seen the global accumulation of power and centralization at the expense of individual liberty. The current Washington and coastal elites are forcibly imposing their cultural views on the American people. The country\u2019s progressives in control of the media, academia, the corporate sector and almost every other institution present a vision of the U.S. as irredeemably racist, evil, and oppressive. Massive reconstitution of the nation is necessary to move forward, in this view.<\/p>\n

A country without memory is a zombie. Deleting the past destroys the future. With left-wing extremists driving political debate, destroying monuments, attacking free speech, and censoring everything that displeases the Twitter mobs, America is on the path toward Communist-style tyranny. A total revision of American history, and a forceful implementation of progressive socialist values, will take place in the United States if the current momentum continues unchecked. …<\/p>\n

The United States has close to $30 trillion in debt. Interest rates will not remain low forever, especially if inflation continues to increase, which is a virtual certainty given the Biden plan to double or triple government spending. When rates rise, paying for this massive debt will be much costlier. The short sightedness of politicians is steering the American economy toward \u201cModern Monetary Theory,\u201d a fancy name for socialism. …<\/p>\n

The American century appears to be coming to an ignominious end. The recent catastrophe in Afghanistan is a direct consequence of the weakened state America finds itself from internal attacks that have produced an ineffective and incompetent government. 08\/27\/21 https:\/\/americanmind.org\/salvo\/empires-fate\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, the end of America is coming.<\/p>\n

As far as some of its leaders go, here is something from my book Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction<\/a>:<\/p>\n

There are prophecies from several sources that warn against leaders and various actions in the days leading up to the Great Tribulation, often called the \u2018Apocalypse.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Bible itself warns that if the children of Israel sinned and did not repent, the following would happen:<\/p>\n

12<\/sup> \u2026 Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths. (Isaiah 3:12)<\/p>\n

16 <\/sup>For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed. (Isaiah 9:16)<\/p>\n

Since multiple millions of the physical descendants of Israel reside in the United States and we are getting close to the end, it is interesting to note that the above prophecies have been fulfilled, to a degree, during administrations of recent U.S. presidents (with issues such as debt), and potentially will also be fulfilled during a Biden-Harris Administration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As far as cultural changes go, here is something from my book Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Here is what the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s top priority is:<\/p>\n

The Equality Act is the best vehicle for ensuring equal rights under the law for LGBTQ+ Americans, and will guarantee that LGBTQ+ individuals are protected under existing civil rights laws. Biden will make enactment of the Equality Act during his first 100 days as President a top legislative priority<\/strong>. Biden will also direct his Cabinet to ensure immediate and full enforcement of the Equality Act across all federal departments and agencies. \u2026 End the misuse of broad exemptions to discriminate. <\/strong>Religious freedom is a fundamental American value. But states have inappropriately used broad exemptions to allow businesses, medical providers, social service agencies, state and local government officials, and others to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people. Guaranteeing transgender students have access to facilities based on their gender identity\u2026 <\/strong>Biden will reverse Trump\u2019s policies misusing these broad exemptions and fight so that no one is turned away from a business or refused service by a government official just because of who they are or who they love. (The Biden Plan to Advance LGBTQ+ Equality in America and Around the World. JoeBiden.com accessed 10\/16\/20)<\/p>\n

The above is a concern to many people who believe that they will be discriminated against if they hold to various religious and\/or biblical beliefs on sexuality. Claiming religious freedom is \u201ca fundamental American value\u201d (which is clearly stated in the U.S. Constitution) while at the same time saying it must be not allowed for certain matters is wrong, insincere, and hypocritical.<\/p>\n

The Bible, KJV translation, predicts the end of \u201can hypocritical nation\u201d (Isaiah 10:5-11). …<\/p>\n

Here is information on the Biden-Harris LGBTQ plans:<\/p>\n

As President, Biden will restore the United States\u2019 standing as a global leader defending LGBTQ+ rights and development \u2026 (The Biden Plan to Advance LGBTQ+ Equality in America and Around the World. JoeBiden.com accessed 10\/16\/20<\/sup>)<\/p>\n

As President, Biden will \u2026 Decriminalize HIV exposure and transmission laws \u2026 ban so-called \u201cconversion therapy.\u201d (The Biden Agenda for Women. JoeBiden.com accessed 10\/16\/20<\/sup>)<\/p>\n

The Bible says that those who were homosexual can change (1 Corinthians 6:9-11), and the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution supposedly guarantees the right of free assembly. So how any government in the U.S.A. can outlaw \u201cconversion therapy\u201d shows that the U.S.A. has declined deeply in this area.<\/p>\n

Many have questioned Joe Biden\u2019s and Kamala Harris\u2019 morality. From their pro-abortion positions to their plan to globally promote the LGBTQ+ agenda while restricting religious rights of those who have differing standards, these would biblically be considered as noticeable moral flaws. …<\/p>\n

Because of biblical prophecy, the fact that the Bible teaches that to \u201ceveryone to whom much is given, from him much will be required\u201d (Luke 12:48), and its hypocrisy (Isaiah 10:5-6, KJV), the U.S.A.\u00a0is expected to be amongst the first to suffer from the Great Tribulation\u00a0(Matthew 24:21).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

USA pushing (im)\u2019moral leadership\u2019?<\/a><\/h3>\n

he Biden-Harris Administration has issues memorandums in order to provide funding and other support for abortions and the LGBTQI+ agenda in the USA and around the world. This funding will also increase USA debt\u2013this is in addition to something that Kamala Harris also did when she voted to add an additional $1.9 trillion in debt. The Biden-Harris Administration wants to punish foreign nations not onboard with its LGBTQI+ policies. Joe Biden said his Administration was doing this to help repair the USA\u2019s \u201cmoral leadership\u201d internationally. Is this promotion of immoral sins going to lead to destruction of the USA, perhaps by 2028? Can the strongest military in the world be taken over? Is the USA prophesied to repent or be take over if it does not repent? Dr. Thiel covers these topics and reveals biblical answers to these questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The USA as we have known it is going downhill fast.<\/p>\n

How fast?<\/p>\n

Possibly by 2028.<\/p>\n

A few days after the inauguration of the Biden-Harris Administration, the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel:<\/p>\n

Is the USA prophesied to be destroyed by 2028?<\/a><\/h3>\n

Are there prophetic reasons to believe that the USA will not last two complete presidential terms? Yes. There is a tradition attributed to the Hebrew prophet Elijah that humanity had 6,000 years to live before being replaced by God\u2019s Kingdom. There are scriptures, writings in the Talmud, early Christian teachings that support this. Also, even certain Hindu writings support it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a summary of ten items to consider: 1. If as the School of Elijah taught, that God inspired Elijah to state that the world as we have known it would last 6,000 years, to be followed by a thousand year sabbatical time, which Jewish tradition (Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin [97a]) and early Christian traditions records (e.g. Irenaeus, a hearer of Polycarp. Adversus haereses, Book V, Chapter 30:4), then we are getting close to the end of that time. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. And if, consistent with scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments, we can apply the concept that a thousand years is as a day to God (Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8). <\/span><\/p>\n

3. And if, as generally understood in the Church of God that Jesus was killed and resurrected no later than the Spring of 31 A.D. on Passover. <\/span><\/p>\n

4. And if we can presume that the \u201clast days\u201d of a 7,000 year prophetic week began AFTER the middle day (day 4), then the last days prior to the \u201csabbatical\u201d time, which some would refer to as the millennial Kingdom of God would last two thousand years. <\/span><\/p>\n

5. And if when Peter referred to being in the last days (Acts <\/span>2:17-18) and since Hebrews 1:1-12 teaches that \u201cGod \u2026 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

6. Then adding 2,000 years to a period of time leads to the end of the 6,000 years no later than 2031 (and it could be earlier than that). <\/span><\/p>\n

7. Since the Great Tribulation is expected to start 3 1\/2 years prior to that (cf. Revelation <\/span>12:14; 13:5) subtracting 3 1\/2 years from the Spring of 2031 would be late in 2027. <\/span><\/p>\n

8. Understand that the U.S.A. is prophesied to be taken over near the rise of the Beast and start of the Great Tribulation (cf. Daniel <\/span>11:39; Jeremiah 30:7; Matthew <\/span>24:21-22). <\/span><\/p>\n

9. Therefore, since the end of two full U.S.A. presidential terms would end in January of 2029, these prophetic understandings point to the end of the U.S.A. prior to two full presidential terms. <\/span><\/p>\n

10. This is also consistent with certain Hindu and Roman Catholic prophetic writings as well. This video gives more details and quotes which point to the destruction of the United States of America by 2028.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Great Tribulation: 2026 or 2027?<\/a><\/h3>\n

Many have falsely claimed that the Great Tribulation either was in the first century A.D. or would come in many different years prior to now. Could the Great Tribulation occur next year or not? What is the earliest year that the Great Tribulation could come? Why is 2022-2024 impossible? Why does 2025 seem unlikely? What are the possible reasons for 2026 or 2027? What about confirmation of the peace deal by a prince in Daniel 9:27? What about the emergence of European King of the North and a Middle Eastern\/North African King of the South? What about animal sacrifices, the red heifer, and the Temple Institute? How might the date of Jesus\u2019 execution and resurrection be involved? Might there be a six\/seven thousand year plan? How could that tie to the words of Peter and those in the Book of Hebrews regarding the last days? Who is the Beast of the sea, the King of the North? Could the final Antichrist be a type of antipope who falsely claims Roman Catholicism? What about pestilences, the ride of the fourth horseman of Apocalypse, and the opening of the fifth seal of the Book of Revelation. Dr. Thiel covers these and other matters and gives rationale, why, if the signs that Jesus referred to are seen before then, that 2026 or 2027 could be the start of the devastating Great Tribulation. He also quotes the late Herbert W. Armstrong about it starting with a nuclear attack against the UK, USA, and\/or Canada. Dr. Thiel quotes Jesus\u2019 promise of protection for Philadelphian Christians. He also summarizes several important signs to watch for, consistent with Jesus\u2019 words in Mark 13.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to the video: Great Tribulation: 2026 or 2027?<\/a><\/p>\n

The USA needs repentance and looks to be gone by 2028.<\/p>\n

The decline of the American empire is happening before our eyes.<\/p>\n

Even some secular writers are seeing that.<\/p>\n

As far as the USA being at a crossroads, the biblical reality is that national repentance is the only way to prevent its desctruction, and that does not look likely:<\/p>\n

\n

5\u2026But the Assyrian shall be his king, Because they refused to repent. 6 And the sword shall slash in his cities, Devour his districts, And consume them, Because of their own counsels. 7 My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him. (Hosea 11:5b-7)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This will not end well for the USA (cf. Isaiah 10:5-12; see also Germany in Biblical and Catholic Prophecy<\/a>) nor its British-descended allies.<\/p>\n

But you can repent and even have physical protection (see There is a Place of Safety for the Philadelphians. Why it May Be Near Petra<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Do you see what is happening?<\/p>\n

Is God Calling You?<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

If so, will YOU properly respond?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
