America's shifting prophetic position
American losses in the foreign policy arena are adding up. There is no direct mention of America in the Bible. End time prophecies indicate that nations who come against Jerusalem will be destroyed. From the early 1600s through the late 1800's, the United States was a strong Christian nation whose founding strength was based on Biblical principles and its general population were followers of the one true God. Beginning in the 1900s, the "progressives" began putting a stake in the ground on social development, and this, among other things, has led this nation away from its foundational beliefs. The current leadership has exponentially accelerated those progressive ideals and the nation and its people suffer.
Our prophetic direction as a nation has taken an ill turn. In my lifetime, I have witnessed the tipping point of accelerated demise beginning with the progressives running Nixon out of office and ushering Jimmy Carter into the presidency. Carter diminished the presidency in the eyes of nations. He began the so-called "peace process" by elevating Yassir Arafat's PLO terrorist organization equal to Israel. He began the era of modern Islamic terrorism by his heavy handed deposing of the Shah of Iran in favor of the "democratically" elected Ayatollahs. With a little reprise under Ronald Reagan, all other presidents since have advanced Islam at the expense of Israel, moreover, at odds with the word of God.
Like Carter, the current occupant of the Oval Office has led the economy down a path that resulted in astronomical federal debt, unemployment and hardship. He has also cleared the way for Islam to take over countries as like in the days of the Ottoman Caliphate by using the name of democracy, but supporting tyranny. He has pressured Israel like no other president to accept the terrorist state that refuses to recognize Israel and speaks in Arabic about how Israel should be wiped off the face of the map. This "president" has done more to advance the dark side of prophecy than any other president in the history of the United States, AND he is systematically destroying our infrastructure of freedom.
America is on the precipice of becoming a super-non-power. When evil men like Russia's Putin can invade with impunity; when America assists The Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda in overthrowing governments and they persecute God's people at will, America no longer stands powerfully in the breech as a relevant force for good. Our prophetic position has eternal implications. Herein is a prophetic riddle: "A wise man's heart is at his right hand: but a fool's heart at his left" (Ecclesiastes 10:2). Jesus said in Matthew 25:32-33, "And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left." The sheep then enter the kingdom. Where are we headed as a nation? Left or right?
