Why Has God Allowed This in the USA?

Considering the path this country has been allowed to take for DECADES, my question would be "Why has God waited so long before beginning judgment?"

I believe it was Billy Graham that said - paraphrase here: If God doesn't judge the United States He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. And that was said many years ago, before much that is the US today.

Not that we shouldn't be praying but we shouldn't be all that surprised either.

And yet God is really moving among Muslims and other people groups, so its like He just bow bypassed us and giving to us as a nation our just rewards, reaping what been sowing!

I might ask, why has God allowed Donald Trump to come into the picture at this time?

God raised up Europe and then bypassed it years ago, maybe just time to move on to a people that is interested in Him.

Seems he (Trump) may be going out of the picture rather than coming in. God raises up the leaders he wants at a particular time and takes them down at a particular time. He uses the men/women He chooses.

I was raised in a small farm community in NE in the 40-50's. Today you can sit on main street and sit for a good time before seeing a white person. When growing up there was a couple of Mexican families, couple of oriental families and one single black man. Just saw a Utube video of a church there that meets in a converted grocery store - Somali, Black, Spanish and eastern folks worshiping together in Spanish with a Negro pastor. There are more Spanish churches than Anglo in the town.

Seems God brought them all over here to get together. America may still have some redeeming qualities in spite of ourselves :)

You are conflating Christianity with profane human politics.

Christian liberty has only, is only, and will only ever be found in Christ. Never in a mortal man, certainly not in the man you evidently believe is your political “savior”, Donald Trump. Never in politics. Never in a human government. ONLY IN CHRIST!

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” - ‭‭John‬ ‭8:36‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Your using gnostic doctrine. God uses governments. I suggest you read your bible.
