Yellowtail;
I believe that both tsalam and myself (as well as others) have made it clear that Jews have gone astray in the past..many times..Christians have often gone astray, and many of those with a Christian family background are going horribly astray today... far astray from the land & promise we were given when the Pilgrims first landed on Cape Cod.
the Jews have suffered from such going astray and todays USA, having generally turned it's back on God's plan, are just now starting to feel the pain of disobedience.
God doesn't have to "punish" us, so to speak; all He need do is remove his invisible hand of protection from around us; then Satan and his very eager helpers will quickly provide much pain. Much of our nation used to worship and serve the living God..then a century and a half ago, extreme errror began to creep in. Names such as Marx, Hegel, Darwin and their ilk started to bring "justification" for disobeyal. Through the early part of the 20th century, these errors were adopted by more and more who were in denial, thrust being added by the Fabian Socialists. From the 1960's on the slide into complete rebellion gained impetus
God has been very patient, he sent evangelists such as Billy Sunday, Billy Graham and a host of others..but only the "remenant" have remained true and comprehended.
The attacks on America by Satanic forces started in earnest in the 1980s, but our leaders, being influenced by PC, sponsored by the Fabian Socialists, refused to recognize the threat....until it built to a real crescendo on 9/11/01.
When interviewed within a couple days of 9/11, Benjamin Netanyahu offered the American leaders a very valuable, very sage piece of advice, when he said;.. "You have just been given a wake up call from Hell"!
I remember clearly the telecast of his statement. I considered it extremely profound; others, their eyes blinded by error...still don't "get it".
Shall the USA endure...or shall it follow other great powers who have turned their back on the God who created them. The answer lies within each of us..shal we each, individually repent and turn back to God...or need He put "hooks in OUR nose" ?
The power is with the people..will they "get it' before destruction ?
