The 10 Commandments: Needed in America for a time like none before

More and more, it’s a lawless time in America.

It’s as if people never heard of God’s Ten Commandments. We’ve reached a zenith when they are “calling evil good and good evil.” If ever there were a time and place for reminding them of right and wrong, this would be it. After all, they have been taken down from schools, universities, government buildings, courtrooms, law schools, even churches and synagogues. …

Instead, these precious words should be placed on billboards from coast to coast.

And that’s exactly what we are ready to do …

I’m betting for a miracle – a second chance, perhaps a final chance. I’m counting on a merciful God that will seek our repentance. All we have to do is ask, sincerely. I hope and pray. …

Americans need awareness of their sins before they can repent of them. And until that happens, America’s fate has been cast to the wind. America needs the Ten Commandments – they need to be seen dramatically and boldly throughout this country. 06/19/23 https://www.wnd.com/2023/06/10-commandments-needed-america-time-like-none/

Putting the Ten Commandments on billboards across the USA, while fine to try to do if WND wants, is not about to lead to national repentance.

Much of the USA already despises the word of God, and also does not want to be reminded of sin.

Jesus warned:

12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. (Matthew 24:12)

That is what has been happening with abortions and the LGBTQ+ agendas. As well as the rise of the Laodiceans.

The New Testament also teaches:

5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, (1 Timothy 1:5)

The government of the USA does not want to listen to the word of God. Instead, it tries to claim engaging in sexual immorality is love.

That said, notice what the US national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, unveiled last month about how the US hopes to maintain global leadership:

US unveils strategy to maintain global leadership

May 12, 2023

Jake Sullivan, unveiled the current administration’s strategy … to merge a new policy of domestic reforms for the reconstruction of America’s global leadership. …

Sullivan’s analysis reveals his clear opposition to the neo-liberal tradition of Reaganomics, which relied on deregulation, tax cuts, cuts in public spending, and the belief that a free market is the only effective way to allocate capital.

In his opinion, continuing such policies after the financial crisis would deepen the inequalities that are tearing apart American democracy, lead to the further collapse of the country’s infrastructure, and ultimately diverge from the challenges posed by the new geopolitical competition in the world. …

According to Sullivan, America must rebuild its internal economic and social strength. …

The U.S. must also rebuild and secure supply chains, meaning it has to adjust its trade policy to the requirements of geopolitics and, importantly, build a structure of global alliances with the EU, as well as countries in Asia, Africa, and South America. …

It is a crucial endeavor for the U.S., as the world that emerged after the conclusion of the Cold War has come to an end. https://rmx.news/poland/us-unveils-strategy-to-maintain-global-leadership/

Yes, it is true that the Anglo-American order is coming to an end.

It is also true that social matters must be dealt with for the US to gain international leadership.

However, as it rejects and despises more and more aspects of biblical morality, it will continue to lose out on the positive side of social leadership.

The USA needs national repentance–without it is is doomed–and it will end fairly soon.

Now, many will say that the US has been promoting sin and increasing debt for decades, without problems, thus since it has the strongest military, etc., nothing will change.

Consider the following scriptures:

11 Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. 13 But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God. (Ecclesiastes 8:11-13)

Under the Obama and Trump Administrations, total US debt greatly increased as did the influence of the LGBTQ+ crowd.

And yes, this is an evil that many think has no cost.

The Bible warns against the type of moral decline that is occurring in the U.S.A.:

12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel: “Because you despise this word, And trust in oppression and perversity, And rely on them, 13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you Like a breach ready to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant. (Isaiah 30:12-13)

Jake Sullivan is NOT pushing using the word of God for advice–but instead is pushing things he and others hope will work. The Bible, of course, also warns:

12 There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death. (Proverbs 14:12)

Death and destruction are coming to the USA.

The Bible also shows that the power in the end time with the strongest military will be taken over (cf. Daniel 11:39; see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses). The Bible warns that alliances with “friends” will not turn out as Jake Sullivan seems to hope (cf. Lamentations 1:1-2).

As far as debt goes, the Biden-Harris Administration has also greatly increased debt.

We are now seeing inflation, which is something I have warned for years would happen.

The USA WILL NOT LAST LONG!

Do not think that the USA will continue as it has.

The Apostle Peter warned:

3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:3-9)

Yes, there are reasons for the delays, but the end is coming (cf. Matthew 24:46-51).

While we are not to that point yet, there are prophecies that point to the USA being gone by 2028. Related to that, we put out the following video:

34:10

Is the USA prophesied to be destroyed by 2028?

Are there prophetic reasons to believe that the USA will not last two complete presidential terms? Yes. There is a tradition attributed to the Hebrew prophet Elijah that humanity had 6,000 years to live before being replaced by God’s Kingdom. There are scriptures, writings in the Talmud, early Christian teachings that support this. Also, even certain Hindu writings support it.

Here is a summary of ten items to consider:

1. If as the School of Elijah taught, that God inspired Elijah to state that the world as we have known it would last 6,000 years, to be followed by a thousand year sabbatical time, which Jewish tradition (Talmud, Tractate Sanhedrin [97a]) and early Christian traditions records (e.g. Irenaeus, a hearer of Polycarp. Adversus haereses, Book V, Chapter 30:4), then we are getting close to the end of that time.

2. And if, consistent with scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments, we can apply the concept that a thousand years is as a day to God (Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8).

3. And if, as generally understood in the Church of God that Jesus was killed and resurrected no later than the Spring of 31 A.D. on Passover.

4. And if we can presume that the “last days” of a 7,000 year prophetic week began AFTER the middle day (day 4), then the last days prior to the “sabbatical” time which some would refer to as the millennial Kingdom of God, would last two thousand years.

5. And if when Peter referred to being in the last days (Acts 2:17-18) and since Hebrews 1:1-12 teaches that “God … has in these last days spoken to us by His Son.”

6. Then adding 2,000 years to a period of time leads to the end of the 6,000 years no later than 2031 (and it could be earlier than that).

7. Since the Great Tribulation is expected to start 3 1/2 years prior to that (cf. Revelation 12:14; 13:5) subtracting 3 1/2 years from the Spring of 2031 would be late in 2027.

8. Understand that the U.S.A. is prophesied to be taken over near the rise of the Beast and start of the Great Tribulation (cf. Daniel 11:39; Jeremiah 30:7; Matthew 24:21-22).

9. Therefore, since the end of two full U.S.A. presidential terms would end in January of 2029, these prophetic understandings point to the end of the U.S.A. prior to two full presidential terms.

10. This is also consistent with certain Hindu and Roman Catholic prophetic writings as well. This video gives more details and quotes which point to the destruction of the United States of America by 2028.

Regarding the end times, Jesus warned:

12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. (Matthew 24:12)

Yes, lawlessness and hypocrisy are abounding without real love.

After warning about lawlessness and the love of many growing cold, Jesus said:

13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:13-14)

So, faithful Philadelphian Christians need to endure to the end (cf. Revelation 3:7-13).

Furthermore since, “this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations,” before the end comes, consider also something that the Apostle Paul wrote:

14 How … shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things! (Romans 10:14-15)

Yes, Christians need to support the work of preaching the gospel to the world as a witness.

The truly faithful understand that and will not mainly be focused on themselves, but supporting the preaching of the gospel to the world as a witness.

That is needed before the end comes. See also the article: Should the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work?

If you think that God will take care of it without your help, you are right.

Jesus said:

42 … Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? 43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 44 Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has. (Luke 12:42-44)

While that does include providing physical food for the poor, it is actually a parable about supporting the work of God which involves getting spiritual food to the world.

Some who claim to be Church of God Christians think that the two witnesses are the ones to fulfill Matthew 24:14 and other aspects of the work. And while the two witnesses have a job to do, their 3 1/2 years begins shortly AFTER Matthew 24:14 is fulfilled.

Hence it IS NOT the two witnesses that do that, but the Philadelphian Christians, those whose work Jesus praises in Revelation 3:7-13 that are supporting that work.

God does not need your help for Matthew 24:14 to be fulfilled, but to develop the right type of loving character, you do need to support it–unless you prefer to be Laodicean (cf. Revelation 3:14-18).

But if you think that not supporting it because you have other issues, worries, or priorities is acceptable in God’s eyes, you are wrong (cf. Matthew 25:24-30; Revelation 3:14-18).

Consider also the following from the Apostle Paul:

11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (Romans 13:11-12)

The USA and the world are changing–and not for the better.

While it would be great if more Americans would heed the Ten Commandments, no, I do not believe that putting them on more billboards is about to lead to national repentance.

I believe that the USA has passed the point of likely repentance.

The type of ‘normal’ its leadership wants to implement will end in destruction.
