Have you heard anything about the possibility of martial law in the U.S. ?

You may be surprised but I absolutely agree with most of what you say including the part of your quote that I bolded. Again I'm looking at this through my understanding of what the Bible teaches and what history has proven. The end result for USA though is the same as that for all other governments, no better and no worse.

Idk man. I respect folks religious beliefs, but I think its kinda like a belief in conspiracy theory stuff at the end of the day. Its just a way to ease your anxiety about the world that you think something larger is happening & there is someone looking to save you if you play your hand correctly.

I think things are far more influx then you & I think we as human beings got far more power than you & other religious folks & conspiracy folks wanna believe. We don't need a god or devil to destroy this planet, world or nation. We can do it ourselves without any outside forces. Thats how powerful we are.

My faith in what the Bible teaches is based on much study and examination of what it actually teaches. There was though a time in my life when I viewed things pretty much in a secular way, just as you and many others do. I will assure you that my faith in the scriptures is not incredulous or blind. The Bible provides plausible answers to many otherwise unanswerable questions. Like:
1. What is our purpose in life? 2. Why do we grow old and die? 3. If God is a loving god then why does suffering exist? 4. Who really controls the world?

We humans are quite different than God's other earthly creatures and were intended by God to be caretakers of the earth and its' living creatures. We also have a brain that is designed in such a way that we can continue to learn forever. So why don't we live forever? The Bible answers all these questions and assures us that God will do away with death, mourning, wars, wicked people, and all human governments. It even tells us of the events we should look for on the world stage that shortly precede the end of this system of things.

Ultimately it boils down to where one puts there hope and faith, in God or in Man. In a God you cannot physically see or in men who you can see. It is all a matter of choice.
