What will happen to the USA?
The Bible is not specific as to what will happen to the USA. However, these are the things we are instructed to do:
1.  Turn back to God 2 Chron. 7:14
2.  Be a Friend to Israel Psl. 122:6
3.  continue spreading the Gospel around the world. Gal. 6:7 (USA responsible for sending 85% of Gospel around the world)
Warning to the church in USA:
Since so many Christian believers live in the USA, our country could be so weakened and confused after the Rapture that it could join the European Union thus allying itself with the Antichrist.  A country can become so arrogant and believe it is a Super Power that grave judgment can come. (Look at Israel's history of arrogance, judgment, and repentance)  Joel 2:12-14
George Washington said:  "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible."
Pray prayer for our country Page 61.
 
What about Israel?
It is said that Israel is God's time clock for the world.  Matt. 24:32-34
fig tree represents Israel in the Bible.
Israel was not a nation for 2,534 years...until 1948.  Jesus said this is the generation that would see end-time events take place.
Is. 62:1, 6.  Gen. 12:3
The Jews have given us: the sacred scriptures, the prophets, the patriarchs, Mary/Joseph/Jesus Christ, the disciples.....
Jesus and His family were Jews, the apostles were Jews and the first Church were mostly Jewish.  Jews are not "Christ haters" and should not be persecuted.  Israel is beloved by the Father and in everlasting covenant with Him (Gen. 17:17) even though some Jewish people and leaders wanted to see Christ killed when He walked this earth.
Until the second coming of Christ, all departed believers will be with Christ in Heaven. 
Israel will be our home forever after all prophetic events take place.  This planet will never be destroyed again because Jesus will come back in His glory and restore the earth to its original glorious state (Rev. 21)
Gen. 12:3    Psl. 122:6
Pray for Israel!
 
THIS SUNDAY MAY 15.....A NIGHT TO HONOR ISRAEL...5PM....EVANGEL WORLD PRAYER CENTER...SPECIAL GUEST 'THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND'.......COME EARLY TO GET PARKING AND SEAT.
 
Blessings,
Becky
