Bible Prophecy and A Country in Crisis by Jeff Kinley is a good book to read:

Page 23: clarification

Definitions:

• agnostic= believes it is unknown and unknowable it there is a God or not.
• atheists = does not believe in God.
• deistic   = thought is largely defined by what it rejects and what it champions:

• • The “Clockmaker” God: Deists often view God as an architect or “clockmaker” who established the natural laws of the universe, set it in motion, and then stepped back to let it run on its own.
  • Rejection of Revelation: They reject traditional “revealed” religions (like Christianity, Islam, or Judaism) and refuse to believe in sacred scriptures, divine intervention, or miracles.
  • Emphasis on Reason: Deists believe humans are meant to use their natural intellectual faculties to understand the divine through science and logic.
  • Deists generally view Jesus as a wise historical teacher and a moral philosopher, but they do not believe he was divine. Because Deism emphasizes reason and the natural world over supernatural events, Deists reject the miracles, virgin birth, and resurrection of Jesus.

Babylon is rebuilt by the Anti-Christ [German leader controlled by Satan] and used as Anti-Christ’s capital city [headquarters]. America has nothing to do with rebuilding Babylon.  However, it is easy to relate to the corruption of the business and political system in America and World-wide.

Page 152: quote

“Bible prophecy was written primarily for the Church, not the country………
God disposes of Gentile nations as He pleases, largely due to their arrogance and dismissal of Him.  Like dust, He blows on them and they are no more.”

Page 176: quote

“Persecution will cause us to rejoice and feel blessed that we were considered worthy to suffer shame for His [God’s] name……….

Persecution will frustrate and infuriate Satan, as through it our faithfulness will ultimately bring greater glory to God.”

————

My Note: Those who rape, torture, kill/murder Christians just show the kind of person they are and does not humiliate, degrade, contaminate, or damage the person being persecuted.  The persecuted person remains OK with God and the person doing the persecution is NOT OK with God {or any God}.

Page 178:  quote

“Every man and woman who names the name of Christ must walk his own path of faith, and if need be, suffer for it.”

Page 190-191: correction

Last paragraph on 190:  Should delete the whole last paragraph!

Our “spirit bodies” in the Earth re-unit with our spirit/soul that is in Heaven during the rapture where saved get “glorified bodies that are a combined spirit/soul and spirit body” in physical form.  We never use our decomposed dead bodies.  God has the power to re-create our bodies [He created them in the first place.] in a new immortal form.

Page 238:  quote

“God is calling His people to rise up, stand strong, and move forward knowing that nothing we do in His Spirit and for His Name is ever wasted.  We as American Christians must fight for our country while simultaneously helping to stem the tide of sin, pointing others to the cross, and preparing for the Lord’s return.  Living with purposeful urgency, we must un-apologetically  declare Jesus’s message of repentance and hope to a great nation in rapid decline.”
