It helps me to remember that God does not necessarily treat the political entity of the United States the same as He did his people Israel in biblical times. It also helps to remember that yes, evil will be punished, i.e., reckoned with, and that the righteous do experience residual effects of that punishment while we are here. But He can also supernaturally shield us and show us favor. He knows whose hearts are His. I so appreciate these verses: “For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. - 2 Chronicles 16:9; "The LORD favors those who fear Him, Those who wait for His lovingkindness." - Psalm 147:11 (NAS)
While this is lovely, and I pray my family is counted among my LORD’s remnants, I don’t for one minute believe America is exempt from judgement. We have allowed culture of the age to degrade our biblical values. Rejecting what is righteous and holy. Repentance is the only remedy for this nation and I praise God for His grace in bringing us to closer to it. Politics means nothing. Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s....
Annie, I am TOO! And yesterday I had a very strong feeling, truly how I felt before I went into labor…. the massive rush to get everything clean and prepped… like there was NO time. My mom told me- OH you are gonna have this baby in 3 days. ! She was on track. I went into labor the day after she said. It really feels like these are BIRTH pains scripture speaks of. ! I do feel the rapture is coming soon - although I know no one knows the time!
I feel this so strongly I was compelled to send a scripture and admonishment to my bro to repent and believe before it gets much worse (antichrist) or its too late! And much of the day I thought, I don’t think my parents will pass before me, I think we will be caught up in the air together!
I have reconciled myself to the fact whatever happens it is The Lord's Will. I encourage all my family to get right with The Lord. I believe this scamdemic , as trying as it has been, is to strengthen our mettle for the upcoming days. I am not sure what The Lord saw in me to resist and stand strong. I am humbled that I might be called upon to stand again. I am getting ready for whatever whenever. 🙏✝️❤️
It is beautiful to think of Jesus returning. I think about it regularly. I also think about the people I love who don’t claim Him as their savior, or who might be misled. Then I want to say”wait my LORD, there are more”. So let’s do our best to win people to Him. Only God can truly do this, but we can glorify Him in the meantime.
Amen! And then I remember he will not come until the last one at the appointed time comes to faith. His chosen elect. More will come later as you know , but before rapture he won’t come until then.
Annie, I absolutely agree. What many do not understand is that His promises are not just the blessings, but also the curses “If you will obey me, then I will......”. But if you will not obey, then I will.....”. Two sides of the same coin.
And we must remember that we, as a nation at our very founding, we made promises to the God of Israel. Only one of two nations founded on the same Word and He blessed us but we turned our backs on Him.
One other thing to remember, though
In His judgement, He remembers mercy.
Mercy is riding neck and neck with judgment. Mercy ALWAYS trumps judgement.....and HE WILL ALWAYS have mercy on His remnant....both the ‘Jews’ (Judah), as well as the other tribes. Who knows? We may be Ephraim or Manasseh........
“Because of the mercies of Adonai we will not be consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning! Great is Your faithfulness. “Adonai is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.” Adonai is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul that seeks Him.”
Lamentations 3:22-25 TLV
But read those scriptures before these few verses. The writer had lost hope in Adonai. But then he remembered Adonai’s Faithfulness and His abundant Mercy.
I am in the middle of the Old Testament and we are in for some reckoning. As I am reading I think this is what's happening now. Amen.

Amen. Also if I can trust the LORD and he says "fear not..." so many times, then I should practice doing that.
I was inspired to write more on this on my Substack today.
