The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaint. As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

— 1 Peter 4:7-11 NASB1995

The epitaph for this US Empire will be “We have met the enemy and he is us”. God’s judgement.

Like all empires before us, Oh how the mighty have fallen. But you know what remains? The people. The people, the culture and their faith and traditions. Governments by their very nature always reach a point where they are unsustainable. But the people remain. There is always a future.

The end of all things is not the end of a government. It is the end of an order that Jesus, Peter and John in Revelation warned the early church about and saved them from: the judgement of God upon an apostate generation with the end of the Old Covenant and the beginning of the New Covenant in Christ's sacrifice.

So be of good cheer in the knowledge that our Lord ascended from the grave and sits on the throne at the right hand of God to rule and reign forever. Thus we have the assurance of a future where God's grace is always with us and He who sits on the throne always intercedes for us.

Phil ... most people ... dare I say nearly all people ... don't realize that the 'churches' they attend are already long ago Marxist captured entities. And that we are totally under a totalitarian rule, the larger part of it being controlled internationally from 'outside' our faint to non-existent borders. The darkness in the land is appalling. Word Magic operating everywhere.

De Wife's brother's wife was remarking what a good Christian her daughter-in-law was, the one who put a Rainbow Coalition sign on her front lawn ... the one who supports that proxy BLM. They the relatives has no idea as to what comes out of their mouths.
