Truthfully, things are not so great in our country right now. We have thugs rioting in the streets, protesters petitioning the electoral college to change the results of a completely legal election and others in social media advocating assassination of the President-elect, Donald Trump.
The hate which characterized the debates is being carried over into the Trump administration. Our current joke of a president has not squashed this open rebellion. Based on his past actions, I would say that he probably agrees with them and would like to see our government overthrown and replaced by a dictatorship with himself in the leadership role. He may, in fact, use the current situation as an excuse to impose martial law and begin his maniacal agenda.
I wonder, what if God is allowing all these things to happen in our to cleanse us as a nation??? Stranger things have happened. Consider Naaman.
2 Kings, Chapter 5 (World English Bible)
2Ki 5:1, Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.
2Ki 5:2, The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.
2Ki 5:3, She said to her mistress, “I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy.”
2Ki 5:4, Someone went in, and told his lord, saying, “The maiden who is from the land of Israel said this.”
2Ki 5:5, The king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
2Ki 5:6, He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “Now when this letter has come to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.”
2Ki 5:7, It happened, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But consider, please, and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.”
2Ki 5:8, It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
2Ki 5:9, So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
2Ki 5:10, Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.”
2Ki 5:11, But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, “Behold, I thought, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leper.’
2Ki 5:12, Aren’t Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them, and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.

2Ki 5:13, His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean?’”
2Ki 5:14, Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. (emp. added, GDR)

Naaman didn't like what God told him to do and was angry. Isn't America acting a little bit like him? Could it be that God has a greater plan for our nation than the path it has gone down for the 40+ years? Could the "troubled waters" we are in be designed to purge us from sin? I think so!!!
America: turn to God, before it is too late and we are utterly destroyed from the face of the earth!!!
It is NOT TOO LATE, the election of Donald J. Trump is proof positive that God is working to change things.
America: repent, change yours ways- and live!!!!
