Some will likely say, “There he goes again with his Amero-centricity.” But America has never been more front and center in the roaring of the seas and waves of humanity as it is during this late prophetic moment.

I find that I can do no other than examine end-times matters within the apocalyptic milieu surrounding this profoundly unique experiment in liberty—this nation-state called America, the concept of which was given to the founding fathers by the Creator, according to their own recognition of the fact.

Harvest House Publishers released my book, The American Apocalypse, in 2009. We, that is, the publisher and myself, planned a major book tour and publicity effort at the time. However, as you might recall, that year there was a major financial meltdown in America and around the world, due primarily to a banking crisis. So our book promotion plans were greatly curtailed.

I now see that delayed book publicity effort was providential. Now, in this greatly accelerated wind-up of the age, I believe we are truly looking at the coming Apocalypse in terms of, perhaps, America’s position within that unveiling of things to come.

Here is part of what I wrote in introducing that volume:

No nation in modern times stands more at stage-center than the United States. None in all of recorded history has had more influence–or has more directly affected countries contemporary to its time of nationhood–than America. Its contributions to moving the world from the speed a horse can run to light speed through near-instantaneous communications technologies are staggering.

There is no peer to American creative industrial genius when considered in context of civilization-enhancing contributions by all generations prior to the 20^th century. The United States of America, as a result of her genius and industry, stands alone as the most materially endowed nation-state ever.

Sounds like pompous, typically ugly American elitism, you say? Well, to borrow from, quote, and expand a bit upon the words of that renowned philosopher, one-time St. Louis pitcher Dizzy Dean: “It ain’t braggin’ if you can do it.”

Section I of this book, “Prophecy Takes Shape,” provides proof that America’s accomplishments stand far above and beyond achievements of all other nation-players in bringing mankind to the current degree of technological progress. The most gifted history revisionists would be hard-pressed to construct even moderately believable sophistry that would offer contradictory evidence to America’s role in bringing mankind to this amazing technological point in a mere 100 years.

Again, Dizzy would say that it ain’t braggin,’ because this nation has done it. The very fact of America’s spectacular achievement would, one would think, secure its place within the final prophetic disposition of nations. Yet, this nation is referenced by name nowhere in Bible prophecy. Absence of mention of the most powerful and wealthiest nation in recorded history seems a profoundly strange omission.

Recognizing and acknowledging that this super nation-state is not even alluded to by name, there nonetheless remains room to ponder. Therefore, we return to the question, though slightly altered: Is America in Bible prophecy, even if not specifically named?

We must first address another question even more pressing: Does there exist a Supreme Judge of all things, who therefore has the final say on human conduct and on contributions to the furtherance of man? (Terry James, The American Apocalypse: Prophetic Scenarios for the United States and the World  [Harvest House Publishers, 2009])

Much stage-setting for the coming Tribulation (Daniel’s seventieth week) has taken place since those days when Barack Obama became president—so much change, in fact, that my book, as thoroughly as I feel it was researched, could but serve as cursory prelude to the profound position America now occupies on this world stage of anti-God rebellion.

The all-out effort to bring down America—including the attempt to assassinate a presidential candidate who opposes their plans to rule, which just occurred—is evidence of their satanic evil. Their more than obvious intention to remove America’s sovereignty, to bring it into compliance with the globalists’ Agenda 30 goals, to me, manifests Satan’s orchestration beyond any doubt. America must, as Obama stated, be fundamentally transformed. And, beginning with his administration, that is what has been accomplished.

The open borders, the transsexual madness, the Sodom-like transformation that has swept every area of society and culture into its wickedness gives witness toward the American Apocalypse. 

Yet, as obvious as Satan’s orchestration is to bring America into his future Antichrist orbit of control, God’s great restraining hand is even more obvious.

The Ephesians 6:12 cabal–the powers and principalities against which the Church (all born-again believers) struggles—must have a crisis of world-rending proportion in order to complete the final governmental architecture necessary to support the coming Antichrist regime.

Again, in my opinion, they tried this with the COVID so-called pandemic. It failed, and now much of the world is on to their lying ways.

One writer frames well the dilemma Lucifer’s minions face in their drive to bring America and nations of the world into configuration for fulfilling Satan’s desire to enslave humankind:

The globalist timeline for their “Great Reset” mentions 2030 as the prime year for total centralization. This is the year they plan to put their carbon controls in place, remove most oil and gas energy, bring in their digital currency framework, finalize their 15 Minute City programs, establish the IMF and BIS as the overseers of the global CBDC structure, launch their cashless society and integrate ESG-related goals into every aspect of the economy.

2030 is only six years away, and that’s a lot to accomplish in such a short amount of time. The globalists are going to have to either admit failure and change their timeline or create a substantial crisis in the near term to facilitate the Reset. (Brandon Smith, “The Juggling Act: Is 2024 A Pivotal Year For The Globalists?” 1/3/2024

It becomes more apparent by the day that the Great Resetters can’t do so without America. Thus, so much hangs on the political process leading to this November and the presidential election.

As stated before in these commentaries, Satan knows the Rapture is going to happen—and soon. He has, therefore, stepped up efforts at every juncture to set the stage for the great crisis the Rapture will create. His human minions, at least, don’t know about the Rapture other than believing it is pie-in-the-sky nonsense by some religious fanatics. But Satan knows. So he lets his human minions work as feverishly as possible to create a crisis, knowing they are helping finish constructing the global platform for his Son of Perdition’s all-controlling machine for governing during that coming time of horror.

You don’t want to be here during that time. Here is how to go to Jesus Christ when He calls all believers to Himself in the clouds of Glory.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

The earth is fallen and in raging rebellion. Those whom God’s Word, in KJV, terms “the earth dwellers” acknowledge His existence only to mock and blame Him for the consequences of their own sinful inclination to destroy all they touch. Humankind, made in the image of Almighty God, their Creator, was given an immense ability to create. Yet the ultimate result of that creativity since the Fall in Eden has wrought the ability to decimate. The proof is the discovery and unleashing of the atom.

We don’t have to think about the great nuclear powers with their arsenals of mega tonnage and pinpoint-missile capabilities to wage humanity’s final war. The world now hunkers under the fearful threat of the nuclear sword that might be swung by a half-crazed dictator in North Korea or in scimitar fashion by rogue terrorists everywhere we look within the Islamic world.

What truly astonishes me is that the God of Heaven obviously has His mighty hand upon that potentially planet-ending sword–even with the hatred heaped on Him daily. As I often hear it expressed, if one of us who are sorely vexed in this increasingly wicked generation had our way, we would have already swung that proverbial sword ourselves.

That sort of swashbuckling shortsightedness shows our fallen foolishness. It certainly doesn’t display the divine character of the Living God that indwells each of us who call Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. We can only thank Him for being in complete charge. Our God’s divine character is indeed an awesome, majestic wonder to think upon. So, let’s do just that. We see His character at the very beginning of His love letter to humanity:

“And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” (Genesis 1:31).

The Creator said everything was “perfect”–God’s only definition for “good” in His holy lexicon. Soon, the serpent entered the garden, and that perfection was disrupted when Eve fell under Lucifer’s seduction and Adam ate the forbidden fruit, bringing sin and death. Now there was only God who was “good”:

“And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God” (Mark 10:18).

Jesus is God, and He was speaking of the Triune Godhead.

Humans, who were made in perfection, in God’s image, changed from the perfect creatures that walked in harmony with their Maker to fallen creatures that would soon shrivel, die, and return to the dust from which Adam was made. God’s holy character is unchanged all these millennia later. That character is clearly seen throughout His Word. Nothing shows just how unassailable the changeless personality of the Creator is more clearly than His prophetic promises. Bible prophecy thus takes on ever-deepening significance as we move toward the consummation of this age and the ultimate destiny of His creation. His character is all-important in every respect imaginable.

God’s divine character is inextricably tied to His prophetic promises. The ultimate promise relevant to sin-infected humankind is that God would send a Savior to redeem us. Prophecy goes on to say that human life–as well as all of God’s creation—will be returned to its pristine, pre-Fall condition–that is, all but the fallen ones, both human and angelic who do not have Christ as Redeemer. The human unrepentant rebels have rejected God’s grace offer of salvation, and the angels who fell in the original rebellion gave up all rights to the presence of Almighty God and thus are unredeemable—lost forever.

I propose that no prophetic issue more profoundly points to God’s character and prophecy being inalterably linked than the Rapture. This great event, scheduled next on God’s calendar of prophetic promises, is a salvation matter at its very core. The Rapture promises to keep us–saints of the Church Age, or Age of Grace—out of God’s wrath and judgment against the rebels who have rejected His Son, Jesus Christ (read Revelation 3:10).

There is no greater point of faith in this regard, in my view, than to consider God’s embrace of children below the age of accountability. This age is known only to God. It is the age, or level of spiritual understanding, reached when people realize they must accept or reject Christ for redemption from sin.

Until that point–with each individual, it is different—each person’s name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. When the person understands and decides to accept Jesus for salvation, his or her name is written in permanently. If the decision is to reject, the name is blotted out, the Scripture says (Revelation 3:5), until he or she accepts Christ as Savior at some future time. When the person does this, his or her name will then be written in the Book of Life forever.

This is all part of the divine character of God. He will let no person go into Hell, into judgment and wrath, separated from Him forever, without giving the opportunity to be saved from sin’s deadly ruin. Thus, the Rapture of children below the age of accountability is all-important in considering God’s prophetic promises. Each and every such child, even those just conceived and those growing in the womb, will instantly be in the presence of Jesus Christ at the moment of Rapture–just as they are if they die before reaching that age.

I believe, with all that is within me, that when the Rapture happens, God is going to make a thunderous statement about when life begins. He will let this rebellious world know in that instant His holy opinion about the murder of the unborn that has been conveniently termed “pro-choice.”

Our individual walk with the Lord should reflect that godly character. He has restored us to be conformed to His image, to strive to be more like Jesus moment by moment.

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” (Micah 6:8).

Our Heavenly Father expects our own character to reflect the glorious character of His Son. When we do our best to be guided by the Holy Spirit toward accomplishing this, on one eternal day, we will hear the words, “Well done, good, faithful servant.”
