Donna,

You referenced the fall of the US.

Apparently you also see it as more than merely a diminishing of the US as a world economic & military power, that many consider that's all it may be.

The US didn't begin like other nations, those others were totally pagan nations that the gospel came to.

Nor was the US a totally secular nation, with some Christians & churches scattered here and there.

The Pilgrims came as Christians, settled, and influenced some of the indigenous folks with the gospel.

The Puritans also came as Christians, settled, but were different somewhat, in regard to the indigenous folks.

Settlements eventually increased into 13 colonies, won their independence, and was founded as a single nation.

But the US began as mostly a Christian nation, under the same God of Israel that the nation of Israel began under, some 3200 years prior to that.

There had been judgments of heathen nations, but when Israel was judged, their judgment was double:

Isaiah 40:2b  for she hath received of the LORD’S hand double for all her sins.

Jeremiah 16:18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.

Jeremiah 17:18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

Will it possibly be the same for the US, that judgment may be double, compared to other nations?

Because the US, like Israel, was tied to the word of God, no matter how much rebellion there was against the word of God.

Born again Christians are promised eternal life and a resurrection, even if they are killed by wars or criminals.

Israel was promised an eventual deliverance of the remnant, even after the various chastisements, judgments, and captivities.

But what about those in the US that are not saved, when the judgment comes?

Will it be possibly like it was for those outside the ark, when Noah and his family were rescued?

Or maybe like it was for those in Sodom and Gomorrah, when Lot was rescued?

Will the US be totally destroyed, with no survivors to go to Jerusalem for the feast of tabernacles during the kingdom, and never to rise again?
