More people in the USA believe that it is going in the wrong direction:<\/p>\n

\n

Poll: Majority Think U.S. Heading in Wrong Direction<\/h2>\n

According to an NBC News poll<\/a> conducted from Aug. 12 to 16, 74% of voters believe the nation is on the wrong course, while 21% believe the U.S. is heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n

The poll took on a pessimistic pathos, with 58% saying they feel “more worried” and “that America’s best years may already be behind us.” Still, 35% said they are optimistic about the future of the U.S.<\/p>\n

According to The Hill<\/a>, President Joe Biden’s approval rating in the poll rose to 42%, but 48% of voters still said they have “somewhat negative” or “very negative” feelings toward the commander in chief. https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsfront\/poll-country-direction\/2022\/08\/21\/id\/1084004\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The USA is in moral, cultural, and other decline as, to a great degree, it despises the word of God.<\/p>\n

The prophet Isaiah was inspired to write:<\/p>\n

8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet,
\nAnd note it on a scroll,
\nThat it may be for time to come,
\nForever and ever:
\n9 That this is a rebellious people,
\nLying children,
\nChildren who will not hear the law of the Lord;
\n10 Who say to the seers, “Do not see,”
\nAnd to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things;
\nSpeak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.
\n11 Get out of the way,
\nTurn aside from the path,
\nCause the Holy One of Israel
\nTo cease from before us.”<\/p>\n

12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:<\/p>\n

“Because you despise this word,
\nAnd trust in oppression and perversity,
\nAnd rely on them,
\n13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
\nLike a breach ready to fall,
\nA bulge in a high wall,
\nWhose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.
\n14 And He shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel,
\nWhich is broken in pieces;
\nHe shall not spare.
\nSo there shall not be found among its fragments
\nA shard to take fire from the hearth,
\nOr to take water from the cistern.”<\/p>\n

15 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:<\/p>\n

“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
\nIn quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”
\nBut you would not,\u00a0 (Isaiah 30:8-15)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, the USA does not wish to repent–and yes, will one day be destroyed.<\/p>\n

Food price inflation is affecting even the cost of native American foods:<\/p>\n

\n

As inflation soars, access to Indigenous foods declines<\/h2>\n

August 22, 2022<\/p>\n

Blueberry bison tamales, harvest salad with mixed greens, creamy carrot and wild rice soup, roasted turkey with squash. This contemporary Native American meal, crafted from the traditional foods of tribes across the United States and prepared with \u201cKetapanen\u201d \u2013 a Menominee expression of love \u2013 cost caterer Jessica Pamonicutt $976 to feed a group of 50 people last November.<\/p>\n

Today it costs her nearly double. …<\/p>\n

U.S. inflation surged to a new four-decade high in June<\/a>, squeezing household budgets with painfully high prices for gas, food and rent. …<\/p>\n

Risk of disease compounds the problem: healthy eating is key to battling diabetes, which afflicts Native Americans at the highest rate of any ethnic group in the United States<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many benefits to eating traditional Native foods,\u201d said Jessica Thurin, a dietician at Native American Community Clinic<\/a> in Minneapolis. \u201cThe body knows exactly how to process and use that food. These foods are natural to the Earth.\u201d …<\/p>\n

Between last winter and this spring, the price of bison jumped from $13.99 to $23.99 per pound. …<\/p>\n

Inflation is similarly impeding the American Indian Center of Chicago\u2019s efforts to improve food security. Executive Director Melodi Serna, of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, said the current prices of food boxes they distribute \u2013 with traditional Midwestern foods like fish, bison, venison, dairy products and produce \u2013 are \u201castronomical.\u201d https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/inflation-indigenous-food-declines-858a9544f0fa3acc64958f6af73b00b5<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Inflation: When Money Fails<\/a><\/h3>\n

Inflation has been higher in 2022 than it has been for decades in the USA, Europe, and many other lands. What are some of the disruptions that inflation can cause? What about hyperinflation affecting places like Venezuela? Did the Book of Haggai predict inflation? Is food price inflation associated with the ride of the third horseman of the Apocalypse? Does sin and government mismanagement cause inflation? Are there physical things one can do about inflation? What about storing food or buying gold? Will gold outlast the USA dollar? Why might some throw their gold in the street as Ezekiel prophesied? What should God\u2019s people do about inflation? What did Jesus teach about food worries? What about seeking the Kingdom of God? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel cover these matters.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Here is a link to our video: Inflation: When Money Fails<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As far as the USA inflation goes, notice something from my book Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction<\/a><\/span>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0Make no mistake about it \u2014 massive inflation is coming.<\/p>\n

The U.S.A. dollar will ultimately crash and be worthless. That \u201cpride\u201d of American power will be broken (cf. Leviticus 26:19). \u2026<\/p>\n

Inflation will eventually hit the U.S.A. extremely hard. (Thiel B. Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction<\/a><\/span>. Nazarene Books, 2021)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note: The ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ that US President Biden signed last week is NOT according to non-partisan experts to reduce inflation (e.g. Guardian: US politics Landmark US climate bill will do more harm than good, groups say; CBO does not see it really reducing inflation<\/a>\u00a0and High inflation, Reasons for food price inflation, the Inflation Reduction Act, and prophecy<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Notice 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. is expected to be amongst the first to suffer from the Great Tribulation (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 it will be gone 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

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

Many Americans and 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 destruction, and that does not look likely:<\/p>\n

\n

5 \u2026 But 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
