The title of this article, The Late Great USA, is borrowed from the 1970 book, The Late Great Planet Earth, by author Hal Lindsey in which he chronicled some of the end-times events that Scripture prophecy foretold would occur before the return of Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ). Since Lindsey’s 1970 publication, many more end-times prophesies have been unsealed, so that the believer in the Scriptures can be relatively aware and informed of these end-times events as they unfold.
DANIEL 12:4,9 (NKJV):
“But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” …
“Go your way Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.”
AMOS 3:7 (NKJV):
Surely YHWH (the Lord) God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.
Planet Earth and all the works within it are prophesied to be burned up by fire, then afterward Earth will be restored, and then man will live eternally with God. Earth’s judgment, passing away, and restoration will occur after the conclusion of the 1,000-year Millennial Kingdom reign of Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) and the great white throne judgment.
2 PETER 3:10,13 (NKJV):
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. …
Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
REVELATION 21:1-4 (NKJV):
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Before the Earth is burned up by fire, an end-of-the-age, end-times, powerful nation referred to as Babylon the great is foretold to be judged and burned by fire. In the 1970s, when Hal Lindsey wrote his book The Late Great Planet Earth, it was debatable as to whether or not the United States of America was Babylon the great of Revelation chapter 18 and other corresponding verses. While once debatable, it is now undeniable that the United States of America is the powerful end-times Babylon nation spoken of in Scripture prophecy.
THE BERLIN WALL 1961-1989
On August 13, 1961, the Communist government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, or East Germany) began to build a barbed wire and concrete “Antifascistischer Schutzwall” or “antifascist bulwark” wall between East and West Berlin. 15 The official purpose of the Berlin Wall was to keep Western fascists from entering East Germany and undermining the socialist state, but it also served the objective of stemming mass defections from East to West Germany.
“Behind me stands a wall that encircles the free sectors of this city. Part of a vast system of barriers that divides the entire continent of Europe, General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
– U.S. President Ronald Reagan (40th), Berlin Wall Speech, June 12, 1987
POKING THE BEAR
The Berlin Wall began to come down on November 9, 1989. The Berlin Wall, while reportedly an instrument of communist suppression, did serve to keep the peace in Europe and between the United States and Russia. When the Berlin Wall came down, Germany reunified, the Soviet Union collapsed, Europe unified as the European Union, NATO began to expand eastward, and the Western nations once again began encroaching upon Russia, attempting to impose their Western values upon Russia, demonizing Russia, and threatening its national sovereignty.
TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY
The corporate-controlled mainstream media, other propaganda, and cancel-culture promotors have become so prevalent in America that it would make Joseph Goebbels and the Ministry of Propaganda of Nazi Germany envious. The American Justice system has been weaponized to attack political opponents, both large and small, of America’s Deep State globalists.
“The January 6th insurrection: the only insurrection ever attempted without a single firearm, without any plan to take over the government, without any plans beforehand to do it, but they still call it an insurrection and nobody prosecuted for insurrection. Nobody even charged with insurrection. They spent about 70 million dollars on the investigation and they’re imprisoning people endlessly for basic trespass, at worst. There probably were more FBI agents involved than MAGA people inside the Capitol, if you ever get a chance to see the 40,000 hours of tape that they are suppressing.”
– Rudy Giuliani, 107th Mayor of New York City, PBD Podcast, April 5, 2023
The American way has become the way of Sodom.
THE END OF THE AMERICAN ERA
“And when you look at what’s going on now with the word ‘nuclear,’ it’s being thrown about every day, every hour you hear “nuclear, nuclear,” you didn’t hear that at all for four years when I was there. You don’t discuss that word. That word is a bad word, a bad word Mark, because the power is so unbelievable. This isn’t a world war, this is the end of the world. I don’t call it World War III, I call it the end of the world. We are at, in my opinion, because of the power of weaponry, mostly nuclear, but other things also. We are in the most dangerous position we’ve ever been in as a nation right now. The world is at balance and this country what might not exist, I mean we might not exist anymore, because we’re talking about power of weapons that is so unbelievable. I know better than anybody because I got to see it.”
– U.S. President Donald Trump (45th), Life, Liberty & Levin, April 23, 2023
THE GREAT TRIBULATION
The destruction of the United States will mark the beginning of the great tribulation, but not the end of the age or the world. When America is destroyed, it will cause a global economic collapse and regional wars will ensue without America’s military on the world stage to deter nations from going to war.
EZEKIEL 30:3 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles [POST-AMERICAN ERA].
REVELATION 18:11 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her [AMERICA], for no one buys their merchandise anymore.”
MATTHEW 24:7; MARK 13:8; LUKE 21:10 (NKJV):
“For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom.”
AMERICA’S FOREIGN MILITARY BASES AND SUPPLIES WILL BE PLUNDERED
JEREMIAH 50:10 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“And Chaldea [AMERICA’S MILITARY BASES, EQUIPMENT, VEHICLES, AND WEAPONS AROUND THE WORLD] shall become plunder; All who plunder her [AMERICA] shall be satisfied,” says YHWH (the Lord).
When speaking of end-times Babylon in Jeremiah chapter 50, Chaldea is used metaphorically to describe America’s foreign military bases and overseas supplies. Chaldea was a small country that once existed, but the country and its people were absorbed and assimilated into the indigenous population of Babylon. Similarly, after America is destroyed, all of America’s foreign military bases and supplies will be plundered and acquired by the local regional populations.
“And we have to do well because if we don’t do it, if we don’t get this back, if we don’t take our country back we’re not going to have a country. It’s literally we’re not going to have … it’s total chaos, it’s a mess. Every single thing you see in the news, ah, Ukraine-Russia should have never happened, inflation should have never happened. Every single thing … the way we pulled out of Afghanistan, well we gave them 85 billion dollars, billion, 85 billion dollars’ worth of equipment, the best. You know they’re the second-largest arms dealer in the world right now. We gave it to them. Brand new trucks, brand new planes, brand new guns, rifles, 700,000 rifles and guns – think of that, 700,000. They only need 40,000, probably not even that, so they’re selling the rest making a fortune. We left it there. And I was the one that was getting out. I got em down, you know it was enough 21 years, it was enough. And we didn’t have anybody killed in the last 18 months. I spoke to Abdullah the leader, we had nobody killed, we had everybody understood and we were going to get out with dignity and strength, instead I think it was the most embarrassing, I think it was the most embarrassing period, the way withdrew, not the fact that we withdrew, the way that we withdrew from Afghanistan. And, uh, I think Putin actually saw that and he probably got a little more ambition, frankly. They did the withdrawal … Milley should be court marshaled. They did a withdrawal where the people, think of this Mark, this is … where the soldiers came out first. If you asked a 5-year-old child strategy, the soldiers come out last. They were so afraid of our F-16s and our fighter jets, we had brand new, I rebuilt the whole … the whole thing. I had brand new gorgeous stuff. We had stuff that was 48 years old. They were so afraid of it, they would just run back. When they heard those engines … NOW THEY OWN THOSE PLANES! They own those planes Mark. And I said to these people when I was getting ready to pull out, I said, “I want every nail, I want every screw, I want every bolt, I want all the canvass from the tents, what do you mean the tents, sir? I want those big massive tents – they’re like hangars with canvass covers – steel. I want all of that, I want the tanks, I want the planes, I want the guns, I want everything. I don’t want you to leave a screw or a bolt. And then Milley said to me, “Sir, I think it’s easier if we left and left everything.” I said, “Why?” “It’s cheaper.” I said, “So let me ask you we have a 150 million dollar airplane, we have to fill it up with a tank of gas, put a little fuel in there, you say it’s cheaper to leave the plane than it is to fly it to Pakistan and then take it back home or fly it to some other place that we get with and take it back home? Or fly it directly? We’re going to give em 100 million, 150 million dollar plane? Because you think it’s cheaper? It’s not cheaper.” These are stupid people we have, these are stupid people. They take the military out before we take our hostages out, cause they’re hostages. The American people now [LEFT BEHIND IN AFGHANISTAN] are hostages.”
– U.S. President Donald Trump (45th), Life, Liberty & Levin, April 23, 2023
ENDLESS WAR
“This year marks 10 years of the war in Afghanistan. We have to ask the question, are we entering into a phase of continued war? Because the goal is not to completely subjugate Afghanistan. The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the United States, out of the tax bases of European countries, through Afghanistan, and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. That is the goal, i.e. the goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war.”
– Julian Assange, Wikileaks founder, Stop the War Coalition, Oct. 8, 2011
It has now become the U.S. Deep State foreign policy and common practice to abandon America’s foreign military bases to allow military weapons, vehicles, and supplies to become plunder when America decides to withdraw its forces from foreign military interventions. The reason that the Deep State American government abandons its military equipment, vehicles, and weapons is that this supplies future war combatants with military gear and fuels the U.S. military-industrial complex with the need to produce more weapons, vehicles, and supplies for America in the future. What we see now as America abandoning military equipment and supplies overseas is a foreshadowing of when all of America’s foreign military bases and supplies will become plunder, at the time when the United States is destroyed.
A GREAT CIVILIZATION IS NOT CONQUERED FROM WITHOUT UNTIL IT HAS DESTROYED ITSELF FROM WITHIN
“They cannot ignore the fact that Russia cannot be defeated on the battlefield. So, they’re waging increasingly aggressive information attacks. First of all targeting the young generations, lying on every step, distorting historical truth, attacking our culture, the Russian Orthodox Church, and other traditional religious institutions in our country. Look at what they’re doing with their own people. They’re destroying the institution of family, their cultural-historic identity, and various perversions. With regard to children, up to pedophilia are accepted as the new norm. And priests are forced to recognize and officiate same-sex weddings. People can live however they want and we in Russia have never intruded into people’s private lives, and we’re not going to do that. But, what we want to say is maybe they should take a look in the Scripture, into the holy book of any great religion. It says that the family is a union between woman and man. And these holy texts are now being increasingly doubted in the West. The Anglican Church is considering the idea of a gender-neutral god. What can we say? God forgive them. They don’t know what they’re doing.”
– Russian President Vladimir Putin, State of the Union Address, Feb. 21, 2023
The United States is a great nation that has been systematically destroying itself from within for decades. After America has more thoroughly destroyed itself from within, the nuclear bombs will come from without – via Russia and its allies.
AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH (AND SODOM)
JEREMIAH 50:35,40 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“A sword is against the Chaldeans [AMERICA’S FOREIGN BASES],” says YHWH (the Lord), against the inhabitants of Babylon [AMERICA],” …
“As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors,” says YHWH (the Lord), “So no one shall reside there [AMERICA], nor son of man dwell in it.”
The United States has nationally embraced the ways of Sodom. On June 26, 2015 the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in America. America’s fall into decadence did not stop with gay marriage, as the LGBTQ+ communities began targeting children to pervert them with drag queen story hours, gender confusion, softening stances on pedophilia, and genital mutilation sex “change” operations. Homosexuals cannot reproduce, so they must recruit. National abominable sins of the nature of Sodom will inevitably bring on the wrath of Almighty God.
REVELATION 18:5 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
For her [AMERICA’S] sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her [AMERICA’S] iniquities.
RUSSIA DESTROYS THE USA, BUT AMERICA’S DESTRUCTION IS GOD’S JUDGMENT
“In its aggressive anti-Russian policy, the West has crossed every line. We hear constant threats against our country and our people. Some irresponsible politicians in the West speak not only about delivering Ukraine long-range weaponry (missile) systems that would allow (Kyiv) to strike Crimea and other Russian regions. These acts of terror, including using Western weapons, are already being carried out in border regions, in Belgorod and Kursk regions. Even nuclear blackmail has come into play. We are not only talking about the shelling of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, encouraged by the West, which threatens to release a nuclear catastrophe, but also about statements by some high-ranking representatives of leading NATO countries on the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia – nuclear weapons. I want to remind those who allow themselves such statements about Russia that our country also has a variety of weapons of destruction, and in some areas even more modern than those in NATO countries. We will without question use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people. This is not a bluff.”
– Russian President Vladimir Putin, National Televised Address, Sept. 21, 2022
REVELATION 18:8 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
Therefore her [AMERICA’S] plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
God will use Russia’s nuclear arsenal to judge America. Russia has the means to destroy America, the desire to do it, and the ability to prevent a retaliatory strike.
USA AND NATO KEEP POKING THE BEAR
What is preventing Russia from attacking the United States now?
When Russia launches its attack on America, they know they must not make the mistake that Japan did in World War II. You cannot scratch a tiger, you must kill it.
Russia, for its own national security interest in preventing NATO encroachment to its borders, has good reason to want to destroy America. That being said, it will be quite a decision to kill over 300 million people living in the United States. Such a decision will not be made lightly.
Before Russia launches its attack on America, a few things have to occur first, according to the Scriptures. What must occur before the destruction of the United States is:
1. the destruction of Damascus, Syria,
2. the rapture of 144,000 Messianic Jews from Israel, and
3. authority will be given by angelic messengers to Russia to destroy the USA.
DAMASCUS MUST BE DESTROYED BEFORE AMERICA IS DESTROYED
JEREMIAH 50:18 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
Therefore thus says YHWH (the Lord) of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon [PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES] and his land [AMERICA], as I have punished the king of Assyria [PRESIDENT OF SYRIA].
Damascus, Syria, the world’s oldest, continually inhabited city, will become a ruinous heap and an unpopulated city.
ISAIAH 17:1 (NKJV):
“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.”
THE ISRAELI RAPTURE OF 144,000 MESSIANIC JEWS MUST OCCUR BEFORE AMERICA IS DESTROYED
REVELATION 14:1,4 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
I looked and behold a Lamb [YESHUA (JESUS)] standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand [MESSIANIC JEWS OF ISRAEL -REVELATION 7:4-8]…
These [144,000] were redeemed [RAPTURED] from among men, being firstfruits to God [THE FATHER] and to the Lamb [YESHUA (JESUS)].
RUSSIAN FEARS OF AN AMERICAN/NATO NUCLEAR RETALIATION MUST BE ALLEVIATED BEFORE RUSSIA LAUNCHES ITS ATTACK ON AMERICA
“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to insure the survival and success of liberty.”
– U.S. President John F. Kennedy (35th), Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1961
President Kennedy’s words on behalf of the United States will ultimately not stand, as the United States will be judged by God, will not be able to militarily retaliate against Russia’s EMP and nuclear attack, and America will no longer reign as the lead nation of the free world.
ISAIAH 47:5 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
For you shall no longer be called the Lady of Kingdoms [LADY LIBERTY, LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD].
REVELATION 18:9-10 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her [AMERICA] will weep and lament for her [AMERICA], when they see the smoke of her [AMERICA’S] burning, standing at a distance for fear of her [AMERICA’S] torment [MILITARY RETALIATION – WHICH WILL NOT COME].
JEREMIAH 51:31-32 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
One runner will run to meet another, and one reporter to meet another, to show [INFORM] the king of Babylon [PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES] that his city [NATION] is taken on all sides [FROM COAST TO COAST]; The passages [ELECTRIC CIRCUITS] are blocked [JAMMED], the reeds [ELECTRIC GRID AND POWER PLANTS] they have burned with fire [EMPs – ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE BOMBS], and the men of war [AMERICAN SOLDIERS] are terrified.
JEREMIAH 51:56 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
Every one of their [AMERICA’S] bows [NUCLEAR MISSILE SILOS] is broken.
ANGELIC MESSENGERS WILL COMMAND RUSSIA TO ATTACK THE UNITED STATES
Russia will not attack America until they are granted permission to do so by angelic messengers sent by God. America’s destruction is God’s judgment (Jeremiah 50:18,25; 51:6,45; Revelation 18:8).
DANIEL 7:5 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear [RUSSIA]. It was raised up on one side [EASTERN RUSSIA], and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they [ANGELIC MESSENGERS] said thus to it [THE BEAR – RUSSIA]: ‘Arise, devour much flesh [DESTROY THE UNITED STATES IN JUDGMENT]!’
REVELATION 6:4 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
Another horse, fiery red [RUSSIA], went out. And it was granted [BY ANGELIC MESSENGERS] to the one who sat on it [PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA] to take peace from the earth [BY DESTROYING THE WORLD’S PEACEKEEPER – THE UNITED STATES], and that people should kill one another [IN THE GREAT TRIBULATION WARS THAT FOLLOW AMERICA’S DESTRUCTION]; and there was given to him [PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA] a great sword [NUCLEAR ARSENAL].
While the United States is prophesied to be destroyed, the righteous saints dwelling in America will not be destroyed along with America. America’s judgment is from God and God does not judge the righteous with the wicked. God will save the American saints through the American rapture (Psalm 91:4-12, Isaiah 18:7; Jeremiah 50:20,28; 51:5-6,33,45, Revelation 18:4).
PSALM 91:4-12 (NKJV – CONDENSED) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; you shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow [NUCLEAR MISSILE] that flies by day, nor of the [NUCLEAR] destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. No evil shall befall you, for He shall give His angels charge over you. In their hands they shall bear you up.
ISAIAH 18:7 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
In that time [OF AMERICA’S DESTRUCTION] a present [THE AMERICAN SAINTS] will be brought to YHWH (the Lord) of hosts from a people [AMERICANS] tall and smooth of skin, and from a people [AMERICANS] terrible from their beginning onward, a nation [MILITARILY] powerful and treading down [IMPOSING ITS WILL UPON OTHER NATIONS], whose land [AMERICA] the rivers divide—to the place of the name of YHWH (the Lord) of hosts, to Mount Zion.
JEREMIAH 51:5-6 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
For [SPIRITUAL] Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, by his God, YHWH (the Lord) of hosts, though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. Flee [COME OUT] from the midst of Babylon [AMERICA], and every one save his life [IN THE AMERICAN RAPTURE]! Do not be cut off [LEFT BEHIND] in her [AMERICA’S] iniquity, for this is the time of YHWH’s (the Lord’s) vengeance; He shall recompense her [AMERICA].
REVELATION 18:4 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
“Come [BE RAPTURED] out of her [AMERICA] My people, lest you share in her [AMERICA’S] sins and lest you receive of her [AMERICA’S] plagues.”
Be still and fear not over the fate of America, for if America were to reign as the world’s superpower queen forever, how then could the Scripture prophecies of the end times be fulfilled?
MARK 13:4-8 (NKJV):
“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”
And Yeshua (Jesus), answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.”
Live righteously to be counted worthy to stand before the Son of Man, Yeshua (Jesus).
LUKE 21:36 (NKJV):
“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Believe in Yeshua (Jesus), repent, obey God’s commandments, live righteously, watch for the end-times signs, and pray that you may be counted worthy to soon stand before the Son of God, Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus the Christ).
