I see God's 4 sore judgements everywhere I look.

Scripture mentions God's four sore Judgements. They are defined in the book of Revelation. And defined several places in the OT.

“I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.” Revelation 6:8 (NCV)

If we study all that plagues the human race, it seems all but accidents fall into one of these four categories. And we know God controls accidents too. The wild beasts seem far removed unless we include the transmission of disease from animals to humans. Like bats and rats spreading plagues. War is unending today. Famine hangs in a fragile balance.

How about the riots making sure all but the elect catch it?
Have you read John Piper's book, "The Coronavirus and Christ?" I think it points toward what AustinC is stating.
Here's the audio version:

I see all of this plague and careless response through unrest to it as God's judgment.
“Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?” Amos 3:6 (KJV 1900)

That's the real problem. Al Qaeda, ISIS, China and Russia conquering, North Korean ICBMs, Iranian terror, Coronavirus, the crazy weather and fires, riots and looting, and foolish politicians that won't do the right thing. Bring us to Jesus Christ and repentance! Shown by blessing the righteous and rebuking the wicked so our nation is exalted. (Proverbs 11:11)

Our nation needs to understand it is increasingly under God's wrath for us to repent and put faith in Jesus Christ.

COULD SOME ONE... ANYONE...PLEASE Tell me why black life's ONLY matter or apply when a black citizen it killed by cops from all racial black ground????

Why is it that when a black individual is treated poorly, or God forbid, killed during a tense face down with police, is shot or killed that riots ALWAYS break out??? I think the recipe for a riot is awfully strange, when you consider the large number of black folk killed by black folk,

Is there some secret, or hidden message, that law enforcement should know in order to stop foolish riots when the have to address a black persons run with laws enforcement?

The men and women in law enforcement could greatly benefit by knowing the formula. Knowing why black people can kill black people BUT law enforcement can't serve to bring a huge breathe of fresh air to our cities.

So please tell me, so I can improve racial tensions, and heal the chasm that does its best to divide and conquer racial tensions and stop.the riots.

So if someone has an answer, share it in order to prepare our police officers ... and ending racial tensions.

This is not a joke, I want to know so myself and others around me can develop a plan that invokes peace.

WE CAN FIX THIS if many of you would just be serious and assist me in finding the way that has up until now, served to drive a huge wedge in the heart of our beautiful nation that would result in social peace!!!


I believe, given Amos 2-3, that we are under God's wrath. Our cities and towns have been hit with multiple calamities in the US.

Al Qaeda, ISIS, China and Russia conquering, North Korean ICBMs, Iranian terror, Coronavirus, the crazy weather and fires, riots and looting, and foolish politicians that lead us astray and won't do the right thing. Bring us to Jesus Christ and repentance! Shown by blessing the righteous and rebuking the wicked so our nation is exalted. (Proverbs 11:11)

Our nation needs to understand it is increasingly under God's wrath for us to repent and put genuine faith in Jesus Christ.

With the huge decrease in abortions and the U.S. embassy in Israel being moved to Jerusalem, there have been a lot of Christian folks who said this would bring God's increasing blessing, not God's increasing wrath. Have the goal posts now been moved?

No, rather someone is playing fast and loose with the truth. I have never known Satan to be happy with anyone following God. Satan’s wrath can also be expressed—through his lackeys. Stealing, killing, destroying are their modes, just as they are his (cf. John 10:10a).

And never forget that, “All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,” (2 Tim 3:12).

Absolutely. That is why I am surprised that a number of Christians in the United States think they should be exempt from persecution.

and for the most part - there is no Christian persecution in this country

So, going to Moloch's temple a little less, and treating the Jews a little more nicely will save us from God's wrath? That's not the biblical standard.

As a Gentile state as powerful as an empire, Ninevah from the Book of Jonah should be our example. We live or die on heartfelt repentance.

I am not sold on the idea that God still deals judges nations between 70 AD when Old Testament Israel fell(along with temple worship) and when Jesus returns to establish the new heavens and earth. But it is not something I am going to argue over. We are saved as individuals, not as nations.

The bible doesn't say God changed things in terms of judging the nations as of Christ. Lacking strong evidence that something changed in history, like the apostolic miracles ending to show us that time is past. I must argue we are still under the rubric of the Prophets as opposed to the Torah or Law. If you don't want to debate, peace to you.

Hmm. That attitude hasn’t presented itself that I’ve noticed, but rather there seem to be elements bent on encouraging systems designed to do Satan’s bidding in just that way. And your post points out some of the methods of those systems.

Recently heard from a senator: “I’m not sure what the Democrats’ philosophy or principles are, or if they have any….” They have none of their own, but do share much in common with Satan's.

Apparently, folks such as Megan Bailey disagree with you - Is There Christian Persecution in America?
