“In the world you will have tribulation.”

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous.”

“Everyone who wants to live a Godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.”

“In the last days evildoers will get worse and worse.”

“Call upon Me in the day of trouble.”

– – –

Around the world today, clearly evildoers get worse and worse.

Around the world today, days of trouble require believers to call on God more and more.

Around the world today, God’s people have more and more afflictions.

Around the world today, promised tribulation is coming true more and more.

Around the world today, the Godly in Christ suffer persecution more and more.

– – –

Around the world today, there is a lot of talk and teaching about the promised evil, trouble, afflictions, tribulation, persecution.
BUT, nearly unanimous silence on Jesus’ prayer for His dear followers when we face all this.

“Father, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your Word.
I pray for them.
Keep those You have given Me, that they may be one.
The world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.”

– – –

Shall we not count the promises unchanged when we face all this (we will face all this) ?

“In the world you will have tribulation, BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER, FOR I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.”

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, BUT THE LORD DELIVERS HIM OUT OF THEM ALL.”

“Everyone who wants to live a Godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution . . . the persecutions I endured, THE LORD DELIVERED ME FROM THEM ALL.”

“In the last days evildoers will get worse and worse, . . . but continue in the Holy Scriptures, WHICH ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE FOR SALVATION.”

“Call upon Me in the day of trouble, I WILL DELIVER YOU, AND YOU WILL GLORIFY ME.”

“I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but THAT YOU SHOULD KEEP THEM FROM THE EVIL ONE.”

Now that big-time trouble looks ominously threatening to us (American Christians), nearly universal teaching promises we’re out of here before great tribulation.

So, some tribulation—yes.
Great tribulation—no.

Question, try this:
Try broadcasting that teaching to Christians facing severe persecution and death now—tell them that’s not great tribulation, because it’s not “The Great Tribulation”.
Are we different, to expect to be exempt, because suddenly a ‘consensus’ of teachers say so—in America ?

Jesus prayed to keep us safe from the evil one—no disclaimers, no exemptions, no interpretations, no exception, no matter what—not taken out of the world when the evil one brings on more evil.

It is dangerous for a Christian to be comfortable.
“Woe to those who are at ease in Zion.”

It is very displeasing to God for a Christian to be lukewarm.
“Because you are lukewarm, I will spew (vomit) you out of my mouth.”

– – –

There is something worse than comfortable, worse than lukewarm—it is the assumption that one is a Christian.
“Not everyone that says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’, shall enter the kingdom of heaven.
Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name, cast out demons in Your Name, and done many wonders in Your Name?’
Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you evildoers.’ “

It’s time for change in the talking points of conservatives and Christians in media and government.

I listen as much as anyone can, to the reporting and documenting of the bad things going on in America, in government, especially in the Biden Administration.

I am painfully conscious of repetition of the facts, as though most of the audience doesn’t already know the terrible shape we’re in.

As I’ve said before, every leader and reporter and commentator on the side for America must no longer be satisfied and think you’ve done your job by telling us how bad the bad things are the bad people in Washington are doing, and what they should be doing (and never will).

More Americans stuffed with more information—yes, the truth—is not and will not stop the evil people taking over.

Yes, we vote—Yes, we campaign—Yes, I feel hope when I listen to Trump—Yes, I pray—I remember prayers of our leaders like Roosevelt before the nation on the eve of D-Day  –  –  –  and so much is so different today.

God blessed the American form of government in our Constitution, as long as we maintained the mindset of the founding fathers,
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”—–John Adams
That declaration says our Constitution and democratic process will no longer work, because we are no longer a moral and religious people.

IN GOD WE TRUSTED  –  –  –  past tense
GOD BLESSED AMERICA  –  –  –  past tense

Sadly, it seems like everyone vigorously sounding the alarms (and rightly so) doesn’t really know what we should be doing to stop this wayward government.
Or, fear is so effective, that no one steps forward to lead and direct us to stop the people destroying our country by design.

Diplomacy, negotiation, legislation, appeasement—DID NOT WORK in the American Revolution against King George—DID NOT WORK in World War II against Hitler—WILL NOT WORK saving Israel from terrorists—IS NOT WORKING to defeat those running America in the ground.

Question:
Would God honor the second amendment of the United States Constitution if we applied it literally today, to stop this wayward government ?
Nothing else will.
