Here in 2023 the United States of America stands on the brink of total collapse.
If you disagree with this beginning statement, then this is not the article for you.
For those who agree or suspect that this might be true, and want to understand how I come to this conclusion, then see my 2023 July 4th message:
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
There is No Peace for the USA
This imminent collapse will be a total collapse of our society which includes, but is not limited to, our financial system, our social structures, our civil institutions including politics, and our technology.
How deep and how devastating this collapse will be I do not know, but every collapse of an “empire” historically has followed a moral collapse of that society, usually exhibited in human sexuality and the sacrifice of that society’s richest resources: their children.
I am not, of course, the only person in America who holds this view, the view that America is on the brink of collapse. The evidence is overwhelming that a great “reset” is imminent.
Accepting this presupposition as true, or at least likely to be true, then the question before us is what do we do now? How do we prepare for this imminent collapse of the once powerful American Empire?
Sadly, it is impossible to even discuss the solutions to the problems all of us face in America today, unless we can acknowledge that we have ALL been deceived, and that the first step is to come out of the deception and step into the light of the truth.
And to do that, we need to first stop listening to and following the false prophets controlling the narratives through “media,” whether it is the corporate media, social media, or the “alternative” media.
The Powerful Delusion
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12)
To even be able to have an intelligent conversation about “deception” or “delusion,” one has to first define “truth” and its opposite, “not true,” or lies, deceptions, delusions, etc.
At the end of the book of Judges in the Old Testament portion of the Bible, a book that chronicles the moral decay of society in Israel in the years following the death of Moses, the last sentence reads:
In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. (Judges 21:25)
This was a negative statement, as the Law of God was reportedly dictated to Moses by angels, and that Law, which includes the Ten Commandments, is still the basis of most legal systems in the world today.
But without a king in Israel to enforce that law, everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
The Law then was the basis of “truth”, and this “truth” existed independent of whether or not people believed in it.
The Law was superseded in the New Testament, under the New Covenant, by Jesus Christ, who rose from the dead after he was executed.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.
And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. (Romans 8:1-4)
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ.
He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross.
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. (Colossians 2:13-15)
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. (Ephesians 2:13-15)
The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever.’”
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant. (Hebrews 7:18-22)
So the “truth” today is Jesus Christ.
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Jesus – John 14:6)
The “not truth” is the Devil, Satan, or the “Anti-Christ.” Jesus said he is the “father of lies.”
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him.
When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:44)
If we cannot agree on what is “truth” and what is “not truth,” then we are in the same condition as the morally decadent nation of Israel when they stopped following the law of Moses and “everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
And that is where we are today in the United States, as people follow their idols and look to these idols to lead them out of the current corruption of our culture that is on the brink of collapse.
Those idols are mostly political and religious idols, with the country solidly divided between “Left” and “Right” ideologies.
