I merely bring this thought to mind while thinking over the end times, prophecy and the like. I'm all for taking this country back to the basis of which the founding fathers established this incredible country. However, the Book of Revelation paints a very clear picture of how things essentially go from bad to worse and beyond, globally speaking. Is there really a chance this county is saved when the whole world will basically being going to hell in a hand basket? I'm certainly not trying to be a doomer or anything like that. But I'm interested in hearing other pedes opinions and sincerest thoughts on this matter as this is something that is really near and dear to my heart. I always wondered if my generation would be the one to witness the return of Christ the Messiah and the way things are going it really has me at attention. The Bible includes this final chapter for a very damn good reason. However, I do not believe in just sitting back and saying, "Well there's no point in fighting or resisting because this is all fate or destiny etc." Even Jesus (Yeshua HaMessiac) called bullshit when he saw it and took action (For instance the money-changers in the temple). I really truly feel that we're gearing up for the end and Trump's presidency was a last call of sorts for those who are faithfully minded to get our shit together. What are your guys and gals thoughts?

I was referring to the LORD impressing on my SPIRIT we are in the Generation to experience CHRIST's return. BTW- In Revelation CHRIST said time would be cut short or no person would be left alive! I also go with CHRIST's account from Matthew 24. That tells me no Pre-Trib, we will go through the Tribulation!
Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
The days He is referring to are the early days of the gospel when Christians were being hunted to prevent the gospel from spreading. In Matthew 24 Christ is addressing two questions:
Matthew 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? (destruction of the Temple, question 1) and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? (the last day, question 2)
Christ told those listening that they would see the great tribulations leading up to and following the destruction of the Temple..
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
I agree that we will go through tribulations. We are going through tribulations now. But the tribulations won't get a bad as the days of the early church:
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Satan has deceived people into believing the worst is coming, the church can't stop it and it is fulfillment of prophecy (so the church embraces it). I believe God's mercy and revival is coming. The Lord's spirit is rising in the body of believers (His Church) and will overcome evil. God Wins.
