Revelations 15:2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
I had a conversation early this evening with old friend of mine and he was talking about the rumors and talk about the use of nukes and how some people don’t truly fathom the horrors. The conversation worked around to Revelations and he used quotes from the beginning of the chapter and talk turned to how our government is wholly incapable of deterring an aggressor and responding to defense of our nation. That we discussed how the US would actually be the first to launch. My friend brought up a quote from Benjamin Rush, not unlike the one I posted. I had this one tucked away for use in a post. I got the chance to use it. Something he said triggered a remembrance of a chapter further into Revelation, 15:2 that tickled . I retrieved my old Bible, dusted off the cover and this is what I remembered of that passage. Sea of Glass. Glass is what is left over after a large and sustained nuclear blasts. What I find compelling is who is going to be standing as victors and listening to the sweet sounds of the harps of God? The quote from Benjamin Rush is prophetic in that we as strong, moral, men of faith and just moral men will have take back our country and government from those we know are wicked, evil, perverted, we have no other choice.
12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him,
I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an
house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I
command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among
my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall
humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their
wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
…
19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments,
which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship
them; 20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have
given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast
out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all
nations. 21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every
one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus
unto this land, and unto this house? 22 And it shall be answered, Because
they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out
of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and
served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

P.S. Revelation is singular not plural (2nd paragraph, 2nd sentence)
According to a family member….the USA isn’t even mentioned in the Bible; metaphorically or allegorical.
Don’t know if I want to believe that. In my humble opinion; why did God create this land if He was going to have it disappear.
I think Steve’s family is correct, but that doesn’t mean we won’t exist. We just aren’t the focus of the Bible. Israel is the focus.
Those without the mark won’t be able to buy or sell. Sure sounds like we are heading into that era headlong. My understanding is that if Jesus doesn’t come back, there won’t be many left alive. It’s going to get much much worse than we can imagine. HE will defeat evil to save the world. I don’t think man is capable of it. Too easy to be corrupted by power.
yup. I have no problem believing these assholes thinking they can “win” a nuke fight. even the small tact nukes will make the two in jap land look like firecrackers
be out of the “game” now for a long time, but before I left the yield of them went up
something insane. small charges and much bigger bangs say.
I also feel these asshole believe it is their time to get things done while they still in charge. so, it a lot of ways they a lot like a cornered rat.
and seeing how all of the assholes in congress have their hands in the dirty money in uke land and not wanting it to stop for anything. I really do expect them to do something really stupid about it.
they have made the us military damn near worthless for the most part, so what do they have left ? those fucking nukes.
we still have not had heard any reason why we had so many bio labs there yet?
or why do we have any fucking bio labs ?
I used to think we and a lot of other signed a deal banning such shit years ago.
this is not going to end well for a lot of people.
Standing on the glass will be a good thing. “Take heart for I have overcome the world”.
