This is the third time I've seen this story in one form or another coming from the AP. Could the U.S. really disintegrate into four or more states within the next year or two?
Let me point out again (as I have in other posts), for those of you who put stock in such, America is not mentioned AT ALL in bible prophecy.
Scholar: U.S. to Collapse Next Year, Alaska Reverts to Russia
"If you're inclined to believe Igor Panarin, and the Kremlin wouldn't mind if you did, then President Barack Obama will order martial law this year, the U.S. will split into six rump-states before 2011, and Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order.
"Panarin might be easy to ignore but for the fact that he is a dean at the Foreign Ministry's school for future diplomats and a regular on Russia's state-guided TV channels. And his predictions fit into the anti-American story line of the Kremlin leadership."
What I've read previously, the west coast would go to China, the East Coast to Europe, the south including New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida would go to Mexico (that one I find completely implausible since Mexico is on the verge of collapse itself).
The only reason I put ANY stock whatsoever in this is the reality that America is NOT mentioned in Bible prophecy... Europe, Russia, China are all dominant powers, but not the US. SOMETHING happens to the U.S. What that something is-- for now, as this post's title states, it's just speculative fear-fodder --who knows? Who knows WHAT it'll be, but I believe I will live to see it.
Perhaps the most frightening aspect of this is that Barack Obama has done NOTHING to allay the Fear. On the contrary, he seems hell-bent (it's just a term, no inference intended) on tearing down everything that made this country great.
When they padlock the doors of the church! Impossible you say? That day is
ReplyDeletecloser than you think my friend. If you would have told someone just 50
years ago, that there would no longer be prayer in our schools, they would
have called you crazy. If you would have told someone 50 years ago, that
crosses and manger scenes would be banned from public buildings, they would
have called you crazy. If you would have told someone 50 years ago that we
would legally slaughter 4,000 babies every 24 hours in this nation, they
would have called you crazy.
If you had told someone 50 years ago that it would be legal for men to marry
men and women to marry women, they would have called you crazy. If you
would have told someone 50 years ago, that it would be illegal to display
the 10 commandments in a courthouse, they would have called you crazy. If
you would have told someone 50 years ago, that there would be major efforts
to take "under God " out of the Pledge of Allegiance and "In God We Trust"
off of our money, they would have called you crazy. However, 50 years later,
these are all a reality!
Here is some more reality for you. Things are NOT going to get any better. I
am thankful for all of those who love God and work so diligently in the
public arena. We MUST continue to fight for the issues that support God's
Word. We must never vacate the political arena, and support those who are in
public office that support the agenda of God. We have to maintain that
voice.
But here is the problem. Despite the numbers that Barna puts out, this
nation is becoming more Godless every single day! It happened in Europe, it
happened in Canada, and it is happening right before our very eyes here in
the United States. We are fast becoming a Godless society.
There is now a large percentage of two full generations in our nation that
do not go to church. The generation that is in their 20's and 30's has a
large percentage that has never been to church. They grew up in homes void
of God. They are now having children that are growing up in homes void of
God, which means the coming generation will also grow up in homes void of
God.
On top of that, the vast majority of those in these two generations that DO
go to church, are NOT in a committed 24/7 relationship with Christ. They
range from the Christmas/Easter churchgoers, to those who simply put in
their "hour" each week. Their day in and day out lives really are no
different than those who don't go to church at all.
So what is next for our nation? The false religions will continue to grow.
The false religions are based on the writings of men and prey on the fact
people are looking for God, but use man's sinful condition to lead them into
deception. They tell them they can buy their way into Heaven, they will have
sex with virgins, they can work to become a god, and numerous other lies.
Perverting the things of God that we used to honor will continue to get
worse. Marriage has already become little more than a legal date to most
people. Sex with people you are not married to, with the same sex, are now
the mainstream norm. This will continue to destroy the family and simply
create more generations of people totally void of God in their life, meaning
the nation will adopt their Godless values and view of life.
IF YOU THINK I AM CRAZY, LET ME SUGGEST YOU READ YOUR BIBLE! IF THIS
HAPPENED TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, THAT WERE BORN OUT OF THE PROMISE OF GOD
AND WITNESS TO HIS GREAT MIRACLES, WHY DON'T YOU THINK THIS CAN HAPPEN TO
US?
The answer my friend is this. We still enjoy amazing freedoms in this nation
to share the Word of God. WE MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT SINCE THEY WILL BE
TAKEN AWAY ONE DAY ! Jesus said that we had to work while it was still
light because the night was coming. We have got to stop playing games and
get serious, because we have a very real enemy who is deadly serious.
Oh how I wish the church was as committed to building the lives of people,
to building the Kingdom of God, as it is in building great structures of
brick and mortar. It is amazing how a church can find 20 million dollars to
build a new building, but not $200 to help pay someone's rent! It is time
for pastors to stop worrying about being politically correct and start being
Biblically correct! Churches need to take out the theater seating and make
people stand up in the presence of God. God's church was never supposed to
be a place where people are entertained, but a place where they are trained
up to do the work of God.
I love you and care about you so much. This is the third time in the last 30
days that the Holy Spirit has prompted me to give you such a word. I sense
in my Spirit a great sense of urgency, that the time is truly very short
now. Jesus is coming back at any moment for His church. We are living in a
very evil and dark world. This nation has rapidly deteriorated spiritually
right before our very eyes over the past 40 years. BUT GOD HAS ALWAYS HAD A
PEOPLE! GOD HAS ALWAYS HAD A REMNANT! I pray today that you will be part of
that remnant God will use to bring in this last great harvest.
Now more than ever, those who refuse to bow their knee to Baal need to stand
up and be counted. The Bible proclaims that the gates of hell shall not
prevail against the church. That is because the church is not a building, it
is all those people that have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior
and will follow Him to their death. THAT is the true church, and that is why
they can padlock the doors of a building, but they will never stop the work
of God!!! GOD WILL HAVE THE LAST WORD!!!
This is copied from a daily devotional written by a minister in Florida. It sounds like what we are seeing today. mom2
Sorry about the length, but thought it was too good to leave off.
These kind of stories are the main reason I don't put much stock in Newsmax or WND.
ReplyDeleteI tend to agree with the spokesman at the end of the article who said it is more likely that Russia will disintegrate before America does.
The Scholar from the title is Russian, therefore slightly biased, IMHO.
I don't believe it now, but I reserve the right to change my mind should I be proven wrong.
Eric, you made the best point. The one about America not being mentioned in the Bible. Not directly, anyway. Hal Lindsey and Jack Van Impe would disagree with you.
