U.S. disasters after messing with Israel's sovereignty and God's covenant
Genesis 12:1-3 (NASB)
Abram Journeys to Egypt
1 Now the LORD said to Abram,
“Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;
2 And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
3 And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Revelation 17:1-13 (NASB)
The Doom of Babylon
1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.” 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, 5 and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” 6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly. 7 And the angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come. 9 Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits, 10 and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while. 11 The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. 12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. 13 These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

There is some thinking that New York City and the Statue of Liberty are those surrounded by many waters. That 9/11 was a warning and that America is the new Babylon.
Of course we don't know. It could be Iran, Russia or lots of places. Of course America is the porn generating capital of the world. Northridge, California was/is? the porn capital of the world. The American life style has led to many modest Muslims to hate us. Divorce, Abortion, Porn, Self absorption, inconsistent selfish hurtful foreign policy, racism, greed, self righteousness, immodesty...
As I said, it seems that God punishes us for interfering.
We have interfered again. Maybe for the last time.
Wonder what God's punishment might look like. Could be anything.
San Andreas, New Madrid, Hurricane, Tornado, Terror, Nuke, Bio weapon, Economic collapse, Nuclear reactor accident, Power grid failure, Magnetic Pulse Attack, Meteor, Comet - there is only One who knows.
I know, but God loves me, He would let...
See Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, Northridge Earthquake, Gulf coast residents, etc...
If God needs to use your life to reach a world before He closes the door are you willing? Are you willing to give everything?
Will you curse Him and reject Him for trying everything to redeem a lost world before His return?
Lord - as for me and my house we will serve the Lord - Maranatha!!!
