I think it’s important to be reminded of and hold onto the words that Witness Lee spoke about America.

This WL quote became stagnant at his death in 1998. World events didn't stop at Lee's death, so I don't think he covered all the bases.

This quote also presumes that God needs another world power to take another step. It presumes that God's "final move" is not already underway. I believe America is under God's judgement now, and has been since perhaps September 11, 2001, if not January, 1973 when Roe v. Wade began the legalized mass murder of children.

The evidence of what Clay Christensen discussed with his Marxist friend from China is the apostasy of the American people including, to an extent, the American church. A Chinese Marxist can see it clearly, but the American people cannot.

Possibly January, 1973 was a tipping point. Since the U.S. Constitution is chartered "Of the people, by the people and for the people", legalized mass murder of children, as of today a staggering 63 million plus, children, the American people have heaped judgment upon themselves since 1973. The American church didn't object much. Why? A strong delusion?

Whatever the American people allows the government to enact, which is against God's nature, God's will, and God's plan, this is on the American people who allowed it. This can only provoke Him and His judgment. Judgment begins at the House of God.

Do you think that the current earthquakes (Turkey), volcano eruptions (Hawaii), pandemic (worldwide), famine (worldwide), violent weather patterns (US tornadic activity)...do you think this coincidence? It's true there have always been such things, but it doesn't seem to be on a global scale as it is now. What about that de-railed train in Ohio? What about those "signs in the sky"? What's going on? I don't know.

Now is not the time to look to the Federal Government for relief, protection and sound judgment. It really troubles me to see the America I love going down this path, but I cannot "not see" the hand of God. and His judgment unfolding like a scroll.

“As religion loses its influence over Americans, what will happen to democracy? Where are the institutions that are going to teach the next generation of Americans that they too must voluntarily choose to obey the laws?"

Is there any question that "religion" (God) has lost its influence over many, if not most, Americans? Is there any question that democracy is devolving into socialism, where God is given no place or space in the lives of many Americans today?

So...I keep thinking...what am I supposed to do? Apart from repenting for things in my life that shouldn't be there, praying for light, praying for God wake-up His people...what am I supposed to do? Apart from what I'm doing now (moderating a Christian forum), what am I supposed to do?

Truthfully, I won't know until He tells me, and I keep asking every day when something new pops up. For now, all I know to do is to keep telling the truth of what I see and hear from him, in fellowship with others. That includes, paying attention to what's going on. Watch. Pray. Look up!

Until then, I just live my life as a baseball fan(season tickets), a Dallas Cowboys fan, a photography fan (3 cameras) , etc. I have 3 sewing machines that do different things, 5 different OS laptop computers (retired network engineer), a ham radio...my motto is "have toys, will play". I think you get the idea. I'm not a prophecy nut (I don't think). I just want to be available to the Lord for whatever he has for me. Oh, and I do a little prepping. Worst case, I may have a nice donation for local food bank someday...so why not?

Hopefully, you will be willing to think differently from what you've always thought about these things.
