On April 8, 2024, Portions of Mexico, the United States, and Canada Will Experience a Total Solar Eclipse.

While there is complete astronomical certainty this eclipse will occur as scheduled, there is a considerable amount of speculation as to the theological ramifications, if any, of this celestial event.

God has previously used his creation to warn and even punish mankind; the Bible gives numerous examples of this! The question in the minds of many, is this going to be another one of those times?

Is Judgment Deserved?

The moral fiber of the United States has continued to deteriorate as wanton sinfulness increases at a staggering rate. We are witnessing criminal activities from the top levels of government to the ghettos of the cities.

The growing levels of antisemitism do not bode well for this country. Genesis 12:3 is still in full force and effect: “³ I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”

I’m aghast at the heated debates over the suitability of murdering babies in the womb; the many euphemisms for baby murder, abortion, freedom of choice, women’s right to choose and others, in no way lessens the reality of the act, the deliberate, violent murder of an innocent baby in the mother’s womb!

I find it tragically ironic that many politicians today see illegal immigration as the solution to the demographic decline caused, in part, by the loss of millions of American lives through abortion.

The attacks on human sexuality and the family are increasing exponentially as gender choice and sexual perversions of many sorts are presented as the new normal. It appears as if a Satanic deception is enshrouding this country like a dense fog!

The Inevitability of Judgment

No nation, in the history of the world, has escaped God’s judgment when they deliberately ignored God’s commands and the USA will not be an exception to that rule. The Biblical end-times narrative totally excludes any reference to the United States as a world power at the time of Jesus’ return to the earth.

It would appear the United States is no longer a dominate world power during the last days. In my opinion, just two events could shut the United States down as a world power, the Rapture of the Church and a well-placed EMP.

The instantaneous removal of millions of Christians would devastate the United States; the resulting chaos could well be the trigger for the battle of Psalms 83. While Israel is promised protection, the United States has no such promise from God!

The Bible speaks to moral degeneration in Romans 1:18-32; a quick examination of those verses sounds as if one is reading a commentary on current events in the USA. God’s judgment will fall on a nation whose people willfully disobey God’s commands; the only question is when.

The Proximity of Judgment

After the Rapture of the Church, there will be an undisclosed amount of time before Israel signs a treaty with the Antichrist; the signing of this treaty will signal the beginning of the last seven years known as the Tribulation, a time of severe judgment on the world!

I am convinced we are living in the last church age, Laodicea. In Revelation 3:20-21 it is written:

²⁰ “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. ²¹ Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne.”

Although the “Age of Grace” is coming to a close, the door to salvation is still open; believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and join him on his throne!
