No offense is intended to anyone....... I just wanted to expound on what Carol wrote. Sometimes I just can't keep my fingers quiet. xoxoxoxo *paulette* in sw fla usa.... puttin' on my asbestos pants just in case of flames... Does this sound like the U.S? ~~~~~~> "Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corruptors: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward" (Isaiah 1:4) Are we doing this? ~~~~~~> "If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2Chronicles 7:14). But,,,,,,,,, God has a limit to how long He will tolerate the arrogance of America's sin. "The LORD said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man" (Genesis 6:3). Would God spare the U.S. if the so-called Christians would repent? People have trusted people and are not trusting God and what does God say about that: "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD" (Jeremiah 17:5). Without a clear-cut separation from sin and the world, Christians have lost their battle to call the nation to repentance. Our Leaders and Preachers have brought great reproach upon the Name of God in front of the Godless / unsaved / unrepentant. What we can do~~~~~~~> "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man" (Luke 21:36). In the end, the United States of America will not be saved. America will worship the Antichrist with the rest of the world. ~~~~~~>"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the Book Of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 13:8). The joy of every American Christian will be the joy of meeting the LORD in the air along with the brethren of all nations.
