Yes, I know the verse that says, "While they are saying, 'peace and safety', destruction will come upon them suddenly" doesn't necessarily apply to USA....yet it is still a verse that runs around my head on almost a daily basis.
Why?
Look around at America. We spend countless hours milling around malls looking for more stuff to buy...even though we don't have the money to buy it...so we put it on credit cards and hope we will have the money to pay for it tomorrow!
We spend $billions and billions on watching sports, buying tickets, building stadiums, buying team merchandise...heck, we even have an entire segment of the nightly news dedicated to catching up on our daily sports!
The vast majority of Americans don't read their Bibles even once per year. They may grudgingly head to some meaningless church service at Christmas or Easter just to please grandma....but after that 40 minute nap...they don't give another thought to the Creator of the universe who fashioned them in their mother's womb!
And now another article last week says that Americans consume the vast majority of planet earths painkillers and antidepressants! We aren't happy with all our crap, all our debt, all our free time, all our opportunities....so we take pills to feel better about this whole hamster-wheel experience!
So while we are running around CLUELESS, falsely believing that "things will always be this way!"....our total destruction may be just around the corner.
Something terrible is coming. Whether it be a financial collapse that brings America down (and then her military), whether it be destruction from within at the hands of lawless, disingenuous treasonous politicians and presidents. Whether it be at the hands of hostile nation states or transnational actors launching multiple simultaneous mass (nuclear?) attacks within the country.
Or it could be tragedy through huge natural disasters, radiation from crippled Japanese reactors; any other of the plethora of threats America currently faces individually or combined, something is going to happen.
Something is going to happen that fundamentally alters the American landscape. With each passing month and year, the time of the Tribulation period itself becomes more focused and clear. It is approaching rapidly and inexorably. This means that given our clear and obvious proximity to the Tribulation period itself, America’s chance of a slow and steady decline becomes a reality with each passing month, because there is not that much time left.
We are approaching a point when there is simply not enough time left for America to experience a slow and steady decline into obscurity. It is looking increasingly likely that something sudden and decisive will happen to bring America down to her knees.
The United States of America now stands vulnerable in a way it never before. An EMP strike is a silent killer. The burst of energy released in a nuclear EMP strike would destroy all electrical circuits within the blast radius, potentially knocking the entire U.S. power grid out of action indefinitely. That would send large, modern, technologically dependant cities back to the Stone Age.
In an instant of time America would hurtle back to pre-industrial levels of society. No cars, no aircraft, no TV’s, no internet, no fridge freezers, no microwaves, no iPhones, no ovens, no convenience food, no supermarkets, no food, no water. Pandemonium and chaos.
An EMP strike is the single biggest threat to American national security today. One or even multiple, coordinated nuclear strikes on U.S. soil would be devastating, but America would survive. Just one EMP burst in the skies over America and it would be game over.
It would take years before the infra structure was repaired. In a recent study commissioned for Congress it was estimated that “…90% of Americans would die of hunger or thirst within the first twelve months of the strike alone…”
Following an EMP strike power in America would be out for a minimum of one year, but most likely for up to three years due to the fact that the US national power grid has such mas- sive transformers throughout the entire network that would need to be replaced. None of these transformers are made or produced in America. It would take years to replace them.
Kim Jong-un has repeatedly threatened to wipe-out America. On January 6, 2016 2016, the official state news agency reported,
“A spokesperson said: “North Korean scientists are in high spirits to detonate H-bombs of hundreds of kilotons…capable of wiping out the whole territory of the U.S. at once…”
If that North Korean satellite, 300 miles above the earth, does contain a nuclear device and is then detonated above America, all life sustaining infrastructures in the U.S. that depend upon electricity will be destroyed.
North Korea is planning for war and have taken proactive steps to get ready for it. They also seem to be planning and preparing for an American black out. History teaches us that when madmen speak, we should pay close attention to what they have to say. With hindsight, how much do we now wish we had taken seriously the threats spewed by Hitler in the 1920s and 1930s and perhaps avoided a second world war, saving countless millions in the process?
The Twentieth century is full of examples of leaders who were ignored until it was too late. The same can be said for the threats and promises made by men like Lenin, Stalin, Nicolai Ceausescu in Romania, Vietnams Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, China’s Mao Zedong…the list could literally go on and on.
Each man was clear beforehand about what he intended to do; each man went on to cause unparalleled suffering and chaos—just as they each said they would. Kim Jong-un has been doing a lot of talking lately. History tells us that when madmen speak, we should listen. Perhaps we should all be paying closer attention to what he is saying.

Please hear me say it again....I personally believe that the world is going to stay pretty much the way it is until Jesus comes for us at the sound of the trumpet call and the voice of the archangel and tells us to "COME UP HERE!"
Why?
Because Jesus tells us that the last generation will be like the generation of Noah. People will be eating, drinking, making wedding plans, planting, banking, attending sports events and are basically clueless until they get trapped in The Great Tribulation and most of them die in earthquakes, wars, famines and the battle of Armageddon, when Christ returns and vanquishes all who rejected his free offering of grace through faith.
So, even though I have had a quickening over these past 10 years that something big is coming....I have come to the Biblical conclusion that we will HEAR OF earthquakes, wars, rumors of war, famines, disease, ISIS bombings, perversion celebrated, babies killed, drug addictions, porn addictions....but that nothing major (like an EMP, planet destroying asteroid, alien invasion) will happen that will cause people to stop planning their weddings.
"As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man."
