When I look with a broad sweep over the last few years I see people going this way and that way, like they’re looking for where to rest or what to lean on and finding nothing but wind. First this is good and right, this person is good and right, that thought is good and right. Then it’s, no, that’s not right , this person isn’t what we thought and hoped, they’re out of favor, cancelled. Now THIS is good and right. Now, THIS person will bring us better days.
It’s painful to watch. People keep putting their hope on different humans like…okay, now YOU lead us out of this mess.
Maybe it’s just always been this way and I didn’t really see it…it reminds me of that flock of murmurating birds caught on video recently. All in unison, they crashed into the ground, a whole huge swarm.
Almost as if symbolic of trying to find hope & rest in Jesus Christ in churches.
History says the fall of an empire or a nation is due to immorality running rampant before its fall.
Some says that the church is the backbone of the nation.
If the falling away from the faith is happening in droves in these latter days, then how far behind will tis judgment from God comes on USA as falen Babylon? Revelation 18:1-24?
Could this be a double prophesy from Jeremiah about fallen Babylon?
Jeremiah 50:6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. 7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.
8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks. 9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain. 10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord. 11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls; 12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues. 14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord. 15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land. 17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria. 19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead. 20 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
Jeremiah 50:6-7 sounds like the churches in our country.
Jeremiah 50:8-12 sounds like nuclear weapons as arrows will come from the north; Russia? Chine? Both?
Jeremiah 50:13-15 sounds like the Babylon in Revelation 18:1-24
Jeremiah 50:16-17 sounds like Revelation 18:22-24 where the voice of the bride & the bridegroom will no longer be heard in her any more because the Bridegroom at the rapture event had come & gone.
Yet after the rapture, the angel with the everlasting gospel will be heard all over the world for when new believers will be saved along with the 144,000 Jews that become the witnesses for the duration of the great tribulation ( Revelation 7:1-8 ), before the end comes which is that fall of Babylon in verse 8 per Revelation 14:6-8. Indeed, one can see the sickle mentioned in Jeremiah 50:16-17 as the same sickles referred to in Revelation 14:13-20 and not just on those saints left behind whose works shall follow them into the dust.
Jeremiah 50:18-20 sounds like how those saints that get left behind being in iniquity & new believers that will die, will be pardoned and resurrected respectively, after the great tribulation to serve the King of kings on earth as kings and priests reigning with Him from all over the world in raising up the following generations in that 1000 year reign of Christ.
Kind of like wood, stubble, and hay getting burned off of that foundation spiritually of works that deny Him for why they were denied by Him to attend the marriage Supper above to be left behind as they shall die ( 1 Corinthians 3:10-17 ), for when their spirits will be with the Lord in Heaven ( 2 Corinthians 5:7-11 ) to await for their resurrections after the great tribulation; Revelation 6:9-11 & Revelation 7:9-17 & Revelation 20:1-6.
Signs of the times. For God to judge the nation of Babylon USA, it is no wonder why God is judging His House first as the Bridegroom of the saints & churches in Babylon before He comes back as the King of kings in judging the world in establishing His millennium kingdom on earth.
Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. 29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Time to pray & trust Jesus Christ to have us ready as found abiding in him & His words as well as being free from all man made yokes of bondage of vows, promises, commitments to the Lord, to any cares of this life to be willing to go when the Bridegroom comes.
