The United States is not mentioned within the end time lineup of nations mentioned in the prophetic books. Prophecy watchers know its fall is imminent, and its judgement is coming from God Himself. According to Ezekiel 18: 12-13, oppressing the poor is an abomination to God. It ranks with all other vile Biblical abominations.
In the Bible the word poor occurs 205 times in 197 verses in the King James Bible. God not only recognizes the poor but lets it be known He especially hears them and expects provision made for them On the flip side God guarantees poverty to those who oppress the poor. Consider United States sanction policy, which makes entire nations go into poverty. Judgement on America is coming from God in retribution for afflicting the poor.
Since 1998 the US has used sanctions policy against 20 countries. These include North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, and Russia. In addition are sanctions against many individuals of state sponsored terrorism. The US sanctioning entire nations that it is not at war with and thrusting them into dire poverty is an abomination to God. Essentially it is to punish their president to attempt to control him and get him to conform his laws to US policy.
In August 2017 Congress passed the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) Russia was added.” Since Russia’s war in Ukraine, which is not a direct war with the United States the US has issued far more sanctions to financially crush the Russian economy and its people.
Russia with its gas is a competitor of the US so essentially sanction policy is to crush the competitor. Due to the war in Ukraine the US is selling record amounts of LNG gas to Europe. In addition, US politicians have gas deals in Ukraine. Corrupt US politicians both Republican and Democrat line their pockets under the guise of democracy and the American cause.
Meanwhile in the name of greed the US afflicts the fatherless, widows and the already poor with unimaginable suffering.
The United States has a particular hatred for Russia. Even the Christian media such as Christianity Today has jumped on the hate Russia train. Mark Wingfield of Baptist News Global wrote a piece titled, “Why its wrong to assume American evangelicals are siding with Russia over Ukraine.” In it he speaks as if the only Christians that matter are the Ukrainian Christians. What about the Russian Christians?
Not to mention his article spews ignorance of what is occurring on both sides of the conflict or of its 18 plus year history. For more on both sides of the war you need to tune into my broadcast the Twist. Our concern should be for both Russians and Ukrainians. The treasurer of a Russian mission in the US stated that their money for churches and missions in Russia cannot get to them because of Russia sanctions. They are stopped from sending any relief or money to further their missionary work in Russia.
Deuteronomy 15:11 commands, “For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore, I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy. In John 12-4 we learn that Jesus gave to the poor.”
The United States has weaponized the dollar which afflicts the poor and multiplies them. God promises curses to those who oppress the poor. Over six verses in the Bible state how God will break in pieces the oppressor, they will come to want, their cry of poverty will not be heard and many curses relating to poverty will come upon those who oppress the poor. This is coming to the United States.
The US dollar is going to crash and when it does all those curses will be realized by US politicians and by Americans. The US will suffer the same poverty it has inflicted on other nations. As the dollar was used as a weapon against other countries it will become a weapon against the US when it tanks. Matthew 7:2 promises,
For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.
Meanwhile notice that despite crushing and pulverizing US sanctions in Russia the value of the ruble has risen, and the sanctions are having a boomerang effect.
We need to take a stand against US sanction policy that is impoverishing and causing undue suffering on the peoples of the nations the US inflicts them upon. Moreover, it is putting a stop to our own Chrisitan missions. This needs to become an Evangelical cause. While both parties of the house are guilty of such vile US policy the Democrats who stand for social justice and the poor are the most shocking.
United States Christians need to stop letting the US media become their Bible and doctrine. In addition to remembering the great commission and God’s commands for taking care of the poor, or they too will end up in the poverty promised by the Word of God.
As we near the start of the Tribulation it is not only clear that the US decline is certain but the reason it is going to occur and how it will happen. When the US dollar ceases to be the world’s reserve currency it is going to drop out of the superpower league. Based on Scripture the reason is clear, judgment is coming for US sanction policy for oppressing the poor, the widow, the fatherless and for oppressing many more with dire poverty. The US dollar US leaders weaponized, will be the weapon that takes down the United States Contact your senator and congressman today to decry this vile US policy.
