WHEN THE HISTORY BOOKS ARE WRITTEN

History records the rise and fall of people and nations.
And if we don’t try to avoid the factual record, we can read that history records the parallel patterns of why they fell.

Germany’s downfall into nazism is not a mystery or an anomaly.
The church lost their conviction to stand for right and stand against wrong.*
The church dropped the ball.
The church compromised.
The church thought they could be compatible with evil.
Hitler put his hand on the shoulder of church leaders and promised that he would take care of them (literally, in a meeting, in person).
He ‘took care of them’ alright—and the church was never a threat to his plan after that.
Because it was too late.

When the history books are written on America, they will show the parallels between the German church of the 1930’s and the American church today.
Evil abounds and evil grows in the culture and in leadership, and the church is watching it happen at best, and unaware at worst.

No matter, the last obstacle to overcome, for evil to completely take over, is now crumbling in complacency.
The church in America could make the difference again, even at this late hour in America’s history—but the church is too comfortable in America with the way it is !

So, what is going to happen ?
God’s full judgment, restrained so far, for the prayers of a faithful remnant, will fall on America now, in full horror.
God’s people, His true followers, will no longer pray for God to bless America or for God to save America.
Christians (for real) will suffer severely, soon.
We don’t have guaranteed promises of escape.
We do have guaranteed promises that He will be with us through the most difficult time of our life.

And, God may give us unexpected opportunities to share our eternal hope in Jesus with so many in despair without hope.
