In Genesis 6:3, God said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever.” Not long after that we know He cleansed the earth through a worldwide flood, and began again with Noah and his family. Later, God completely destroyed the seven nations who were occupying the land He had promised Abraham – the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, and primarily because of their idolatry and sexual perversion. Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome, were strong militarily, but weak morally, and like Sodom and Gomorrah, they imploded under the weight of the sins spawned by their acceptance of that sin which God called an abomination. The point being, there comes a time when God abandons a man, and even a nation of men, women, and children. God comes to a point where He lets a people suffer the consequences of their own sinful choices. If they will not accept His counsel, then let them eat the fruit of their own choices, and be destroyed by their disobedience. Has the Western Civilization reached that point? When will we know that God is done with America? How can we know when God is about to abandon a nation?

If the globalists achieve the changes they have proposed for the next few years, while it was not without its challenges, 2023 could be the last year we enjoyed any level of normality.
While the whole world is under God’s judgment today, God will soon pour out His eternal wrath upon those who refused to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.
Until then, Christians are engaged in a spiritual warfare like the world has never seen before.
The theology of the contemporary church is that God is so loving that He will overlook our sins and allow everyone to go to heaven, even if they haven’t received Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.
There are five kinds of wrath illustrated in the Bible.
To suppress the truth in unrighteousness is to communicate anything less than a biblical view of God.
2 Timothy 3:15
When a person or a nation rejects God, the farther they run from Him, the less He intervenes in their lives. God allows them to enter into an ever-increasing darkness of depravity.
God has abandoned the Western Civilization because the majority of the people, including many who claim to be born-again Christians, are taking pleasure in unrighteousness on a scale we have not seen since the days of Rome, Greece, and the cities of Sodom, and Gomorrah. To say we are believers, and then to live like unbelievers, is to suppress the truth from those who are lost and need a Savior.
