The Valley
of Decision for America

In a few days an Election will be held that will set the
future for America. God has put before the people of the USA, and especially
the true church, a choice.
Joe 3:14 ESV] 14 Multitudes,
multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near
in the valley of decision.
[Jos 24:15 ESV] 15 And if it is
evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve,
whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the
gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we
will serve the LORD."
The deciding factor in this decision will be the true
church. We are living in a time of great trouble and turmoil. In times such as
these the true church holds the key to either blessings or judgment from God.
[2Ch 7:13-14 ESV] 13 When I shut up
the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land,
or send pestilence among my people, 14 if my people who are called by my
name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked
ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their
land.
We are living in special days. The signs are all around us.
[Mat 24:3-14 NKJV] 3 Now as He sat
on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell
us, when will these things be? And what [will be] the sign of Your coming,
and of the end of the age?" 4 And Jesus answered and said to them:
"Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 "For many will come in My
name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. 6 "And you will
hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all [these
things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 "For nation will rise
against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines,
pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 "All these [are] the beginning
of sorrows. 9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you,
and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. 10 "And then many
will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11
"Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 "And
because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 "But
he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 "And this gospel of the
kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then
the end will come.
[Luke 21:8-19 NKJV] 8 And He said:
"Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name,
saying, 'I am [He],' and, 'The time has drawn near.' Therefore, do not go after
them. 9 "But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified;
for these things must come to pass first, but the end [will] not [come]
immediately." 10 Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 "And there will be great
earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be
fearful sights and great signs from heaven. 12 "But before all these
things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute [you], delivering [you]
up to the synagogues and prisons. You will be brought before kings and rulers
for My name's sake. 13 "But it will turn out for you as an occasion for
testimony. 14 "Therefore, settle [it] in your hearts not to meditate
beforehand on what you will answer; 15 "for I will give you a mouth and
wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist. 16
"You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends;
and they will put [some] of you to death. 17 "And you will be hated by all
for My name's sake. 18 "But not a hair of your head shall be lost. 19
"By your patience possess your souls.
While America cannot be specifically found in the Bible, we
can apply the principles given to God’s people Israel and get a picture of the
conditions that will exist in America in the days preceding the Lord’s return
for His true church. There are two possible conditions. One is peace, safety,
and relative normalcy, the other debauchery and turmoil. Either condition could
exist and still be consistent with Biblical prophecy regarding America.
But if God’s people humble themselves, pray, the Lord, and
turn from their wicked ways God will hear and a time of blessing will come for
a season.
14 if my people who are called by
my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked
ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their
land.
One of the signs of these days of the Lord’s return is a
great war in the Middle East when forces from the north of Israel attack Israel
in the war of God and Magog (Ezekiel 38). At the time of the attack Israel is
in a time of peace and safety and it is reasonable, but not necessary, to
assume the America is also in such a time.
[Eze 38:11 NKJV] 11 "You will
say, 'I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful
people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having
neither bars nor gates'—
The other great indication that these will be times of
peace, safety and normalcy is the sign of “the days of Noah” and the days of
Lot.
[Luke 17:26-29 ESV] 26 Just as it
was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They
were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until
the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot--they were eating and
drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 but on the day when[DW1]
Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them
all—
It will be during this season of peace, safety, and normalcy
when suddenly, the Lord will come for His Bride, the true church.
[1Th 4:15-18 ESV] 15 For this we
declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left
until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the
voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead
in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be
caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so
we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these
words.
[1Th 5:1-3 NKJV] 1 But concerning
the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to
you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a
thief in the night. 3 For when they say, "Peace and safety!"
then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman.
And they shall not escape.
The second possible condition in America, like the rest of
the world before the Lord’s return is anything but peace, safety, and normalcy.
They will be days filled with unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, and malice. Days
of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. The people will be gossips, slanderers,
haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to
parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's
righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not
only do them but give approval to those who practice them. They will be
people that worship the created rather than the Creator.
[Rom 1:24-32 ESV] 24 Therefore God
gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of
their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God
for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator,
who is blessed forever! Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to
dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those
that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations
with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing
shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their
error. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up
to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all
manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy,
murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters
of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous
decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do
them but give approval to those who practice them.
This America will be marked by worshipping “diversity,
equity, and integration” (DEI). Abortion, sexual perversion, worshiping the
great “green god,” hatred of Jews and Israel, and persecution of true Christians
will permeate the society. It will be during such times as these when the Lord
comes for the remnant, His true church.
So, America, what will it be? God has put before us a choice,
choose wisely.
Vote wisely!
