The USA itself is becoming more and more divided.
Both the left and the right are moving farther apart.
Donald Trump will try to take various steps, but more will distance themselves from him.
Jesus warned:
25 … Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25)8 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. (Mark 13:8)24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. (Mark 3:24-25)17 … Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. (Luke 11:17)
The division is a BIG DEAL. There will be troubles because of the election results.
The end of the USA is coming (cf. Daniel 11:39; Isaiah 10:5-11; Habakkuk 2:6-8).
The time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), also known as the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21), is coming and the USA and its Anglo-Saxon-Celtic allies will be affected.
National repentance is the only way to prevent it, yet no major political leader has called for it or turning to God.
Personal repentance, however, is still possible. Your personal future can still be much brighter than that of your country. Jesus, in addition to being the source of salvation, also offered physical protection to the most faithful (see Philadelphian Christian Great Tribulation Protection and/or watch Great Tribulation Protection).
Now the Kingdom of God is the solution, but first there will be a horrific 3 1/2 years that the politicians of the USA do not fully grasp.

Amazing: All Saints Day is literally renaming pagan gods and making them saints.
The Roman God Mars was originally a God who guarded wheat fields. He became St. Martin (esp. St. Martin-in-the-fields). Although March is the month associated with Mars (it was the beginning of the military campaigning season in Roman times), the major festival for him in Christian times now usually falls in February, called Mardi Gras “Great Mars.”
The Roman God Quirinus became St. Cyrinus, of which there are various “equestrian warrior saints” such as St. Cyr in France, and St. Quirina, mother of St. Lawrence. The element quir- means (or was understood to mean) ‘horse.’ These saints were very popular and widely worshiped in the Middle-Ages, in France, Holland and also eastern Christian countries.
The Roman gods known as the Lares became St. Lawrence, esp. St. Lawrence beyond-the-wall. The Lares were field Gods who protected the grain growing in the fields. In Italian, he became St. Lorenzo beyond the Walls, meaning outside of the walls of the city, for which there is still a church in Rome, with many “daughter” churches which developed from it.
The Roman Goddess Venus became St. Venera (with a feminized ending to her name since -us looks like a masculine ending in Latin). She had a major church in Rome in early Christian times, but that didn’t last long.
The Roman Gods known as the Gemini, who were protectors of sailors in Roman Pagan times, became the Sanctos Geminos, with a number of forms in the various Christian religions. Santiago de Compostela, (St. James in English) became the protector of pilgrims during the Middle Ages. Forms of St. James all seem to be christianized from various forms of the Proto-Indo-European God *Yama. This God was repeatedly christianized in most of the Indo-European language groups.
Not all Christian saints came from Roman and Greek Pagan deities. Ahura Mazda, a major God in Zoroastrian religion became Ador Ormazd (Saint Ahura Mazda) in the early Syriac Christian church. [fuggle26] (Pagan Saints. © 2007, last updated 2/9/2012, piereligion.org/pagansaints.… accessed 10/03/2019)

Mysteries of God - What is God?
The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. (Psalm 19:1)
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, (Ephesians 3:14-15) Bob Thiel Ph.D.
Author’s Preface to the free book:
The reality of God is perhaps the most important subject there is. My purpose for this book is to delve into what the Bible teaches about God and clarify numerous truths and mysteries about God. Some revelations may surprise, even shock, some readers. But hopefully you will be willing to “prove all things” (1 Thessalonians 5:21, DRB/KJV) and have “the love of the truth” (2 Thessalonians 2:10, NJB).
Do not be deceived like the bulk of humanity is prophesied to be (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). This book will often cite both Protestant and Greco-Roman Catholic translations of the Bible to demonstrate the consistency of those translations on many of the Bible’s main points about God. In addition to citing scripture, I will offer testimony from early writers and later scholars to back up the authenticity of those early beliefs. This includes primary, non-primary, conventional, and unconventional sources—which also tend to validate the continuity of those beliefs as well. And yes, I often come to conclusions that differ from the cited non-biblical authors.
This book is part of a documented search for truth. Similar to the Apostle Paul, I realize that in the flesh we only “know in part” (1 Corinthians 13:9, DRB). Regarding original Christianity, the Book of Acts reported that “everywhere, people speak against this sect” (Acts 28:22, EOB).
Sadly, that often remains so in the 21st century. Yet in the 1st century, those of Berea/Beroea “welcomed the word very readily; every day they studied the scriptures to check whether it was true” (Acts 17:11, NJB).
They were willing to change when they saw the truth—despite it being talked against (Acts 28:22). Their scriptural example should still be followed in the 21st century. This book is for readers that have a genuine love of the truth who are willing to be like the biblical Bereans that wanted to learn more of the truths of the mysteries of God.

"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.
When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal. Consider ships as well. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot is inclined.
In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze. The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.a
All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be! Can both fresh water and salt waterb flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt springc produce fresh water.
The Wisdom from Above
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth. Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.
The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. - Romans 13:9.10
Only national repentance can stop what is coming. This was prophesied. This is the curse for disobedience and we were warned in advance.
Learn about the US in prophecy, we are to watch, and we are to study to show ourselves approved.
Personal repentance is the way!

I am making a prediction too. If it is not stopped, America will be a blazing inferno like France, with Jewish and Christian churches and businesses set ablaze.
And news media will ignore it, again calling it a mostly peaceful protest.
Can anyone, literally anyone, biblically explain how one gets rapture of the faithful from the word apostasy. Sure you want to use the word departure, but biblically apostasy means rebellion, defection from the truth.
Until the rebellion occurs
“Rebellion” (or apostasy) signals a widespread falling away from truth and moral restraint.
• 1 Timothy 4:1-3 foretells some “will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits.”
• 2 Timothy 3:1-5 sketches an era of self-love and godlessness, echoing Jesus’ words in Matthew 24:10-12 that “many will fall away and betray one another.”
This apostasy is more than backsliding; it is a marked, global revolt against the faith, setting the stage for the next figure Paul names.
To ignore the context, the actual meaning of the word is heaping up teachers who speak things we want to hear. Let God be true and every man a liar.

BASIC MILK, this isn't even meat.
"For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires, and they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."
Please don't confuse apostasy for a rapture. This is a dangerous deception in itself. The word is rebellion, apostasy. This in no way signifies a rapture. The sheer amount of likes on this post shows how people are just willing to believe what they are told instead of studying for themselves. Let no one deceive you!
NO the great falling away/ departure is NOT a rapture. It is apostasy from truth, which I suppose would include trying to use this verse as proof of a rapture.
Replying to @Matthew56193629
A departure from the truth is not a rapture. "Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God...
The word is rebellion.
Men to turn away from the truth…Acts 20:29 and 30…Paul…wanted to meet with the leaders of the church… What church? The Church of God!... “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.”
See what the prophecy was? Falling away. Departing from the truth!
And then go to second Corinthians eleventh chapter and the 13th, 14th, and 15th verses.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light... Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” Many false prophets will deceive many…Second Timothy fourth chapter third verse…
For the time will come when they will not endure—THAT’S the PEOPLE the Western world—sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” the world will fall away after fables.
It was prophesied that most would call the Jews ‘Israel’:
1 Hear this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the
name of Israel, And have come forth from the wellsprings of Judah (Isaiah 48:1)
This has happened. In modern times Judah is referred to as
Israel. Most people overlook the scriptures that teach that there are other tribes of Israel in other places (e.g. James 1:1).

A 2022 DNA study found that while there are genetic connections of modern Jews to those of the Middle Ages, there was considerable genetic diversity in some. Scientific American reported:
Genetics is a probabilistic science, and there are no genes “for” anything in particular... When it comes to ancestry, DNA is very good at determining close family relations such as siblings or parents, and dozens of stories are emerging that reunite or identify lost close family members (or indeed criminals). For deeper family roots, these tests do not really tell you where your ancestors came from.
Dr. James Tabor wrote: Clearly the populations of Britain, the United States, and northwestern Europe are very mixed. What we maintain is that significant portions of the ancient Israelites ended up in these areas. Identifying them, at this time, is not scientifically possible.
