tribulation

As often happens in my time spent with the Lord, I had a vision while receiving this word. In it, He elevated my perspective high enough that I could see the entire landscape of the United States. Off on the horizon, a golden ball of light that resembled the sun had begun to rise, filling the sky around it with brilliant shimmering light. The Lord then drew my focus back to where I was standing, highlighting the space between me and the golden light. That space was divided into a small area where the skies appeared clear, and a much larger area that was covered with dark storm clouds.

The Lord showed me that I was seeing a timeline of America’s future, where she would experience a brief period of false peace, and then be hit with a deluge of tribulation before reaching the golden horizon.

Then I heard this:

The roof is about to collapse on this nation, for those who crave power are prepared to employ whatever means necessary to maintain their high seats of authority, even if, in so doing, it sends America into a state of severe decline. As such shall this people undergo a season of extreme hardship.

So while that bleak outcome was thought by most to only be a slight possibility at best, still shall this economic downturn become America’s reality. For indeed has her support structure long been in an impaired state. As such shall that weakness soon be exploited causing the intentional ruination of many in an attempt to thwart the will of this people from coming to pass.

And so shall America be immersed in a time of much chaos and confusion, as the one whom they selected to lead shall be unable to decipher the way forward. Even his council of advisers will be unable to discern the correct path to right America’s course, for indeed is their spiritual sight already hindered. Thus, like blind guides are these advisers, for faulty are their interpretations of the words, dreams, and visions they receive, and as such are no longer equipped to stand as mouthpieces for Me. 

See then, inclement weather lies just ahead for this nation. Thus shall a deluge of tribulation fall upon her, for she is about to enter days of unprecedented adversity, where all that can be shaken shall be shaken, catching many unaware. Yet have I determined this time of shaking must occur so that My greater plan for America can still be accomplished. 

Ah then, shall the days of joyous celebration be short lived as the expectations of many are left unmet. For they misinterpreted My meaning of the term prosperity, as their understanding was limited to personal financial gain, and so shall disillusionment fill their hearts once that collapse occurs. For, in their estimation, America was finally headed back in the right direction. Yet has this impending crash already been set into motion, as the darkness at work behind the scenes took the initial steps towards collapse once it was determined who would be the next president. 

Surely then, just before America’s horizon lies a time of great adversity. Yet, by most in the Church, its presence has gone undetected. For the majority of believers have not bothered to look beyond their immediate future; even still is a violent storm brewing. And so, in the coming days, shall societal turbulence be on the rise, as the shaking that is to come intensifies throughout this land. 

Then to those who are paying attention: “Listen up! The adversity that is about to befall this nation cannot now be avoided. Thus would you do well to prepare yourselves for that eventuality. And so, even now, hide yourself in Me so that when trouble strikes, you will not be caught out in the open. For even though the storm shall surely rage, I will continue to be your safe and certain shelter. Therefore, set your minds upon Me. For indeed in Me will you find that space of perfect peace.“
