Very good points. Now,, We see all these against America. And, I'm not saying it wouldnt be warranted. However,, God being taken out of things,,, happens in Europe too, England, Scotland, Ireland,, etc, etc,,, See, the whole world is in recession. Not just the USA. But, there are an over abundence of "prophecy" against the US specificaly, and I haven't seen one against another country yet. So, why the sudden focus on the US? I've seen one person talk bout the tower in Luke 13:4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem? Claiming that that was a sing and prophecy against the US with the Twin Towers. And they gave a long list of scriptures with towers and saying,, "This is God's judgement against Amercia" Why can't anyone see that, maybe, just maybe,,, The Lord was drawing our country out against an army of people that want to destroy His people? Just like WWII, we wouldn't have gotten involved in that war had we not had an entire base almost wiped out.Just like now, we wouldn't have gotten or been able to wage war against a "religious" group like the Taliban. Couldn't God have allowed this tragedy, to draw us against the Taliban? Even to remove someone else from his Kingdom? We see evidence of more of that type of thing all through the Bible than God destroying a nation where His followers live. Keep in mind, I'm not saying, this is a Christian nation. But, it's still a safe place for believers to come, and come freely. There's still good being done by the followers of Christ in this nation. All the churches aren't apostate all the followers aren't apostate. If God would spare someplace as evil as Sodom and Gommorah, for the sake of 1 single solitary righteous person, at the request and petition of another righteious person,,,, How much more would God spare a nation though that nation being evil,,,, for the sake of even 1,000 righteous? I'm thinking people are focusing more on the USA because they live here and can see things first hand. Rather than another country where they know nothing about and can't back it up because they can't claim how evil the red light district in Sweeden or Germany is. That's another thing. Did the Lord destroy Germany? How much more evil can you get than Nazi Germany? Did the Lord destroy Japan because they were evil, and attacked the US (who was supposedly christian back then). I say, no,, They were attacked, and they were brought back down and humbled. Then rebuilt, and rebuilt better than before. And alot of that was charity from our Nation. Just my thoughts.
