I've never come across this before, very sobering.."Terrible shocks will come upon the earth, and the lordly palaces erected at great expense will certainly become heaps of ruins.—Manuscript Releases 3:312 (1891). CLD 3.1

When God’s restraining hand is removed, the destroyer begins his work. Then in our cities the greatest calamities will come.—Manuscript Releases 3:314 (1897). CLD 3.2

The end is near and every city is to be turned upside down every way. There will be confusion in every city. Everything that can be shaken is to be shaken and we do not know what will come next. The judgments will be according to the wickedness of the people and the light of truth that they have had.—Manuscript Releases 1:248 (1902). CLD 3.3

O that God’s people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry.—Evangelism, 29 (1903). CLD 3.4

The time is near when large cities will be swept away, and all should be warned of these coming judgments.—Evangelism, 29 (1910). "

If america takes a hard left turn.. if the majority of the citizens wake up and say "hey this is really new - I wonder if God will object"... if suddenly "acts of God" - natural disasters unlinked to any humans begin to fall... might there be a hard swing to the right to fix it?

God has stayed His wrath a number of times in the past. It's definitely possible, but we have scripture that tells us that eventually these things will come to pass. Any stay is temporary. Given the direction we're going, I don't think the wrath of God will be held back much longer.

In the two possibilities (election), I can see how either one can lead to the same outcome. One might take longer than the other. If one candidate gets in, it might stay things another four years—or it might happen just as quickly.

Talks of the great reset, the common good and the fact that we have so many things going on at the nation's capitol, it's not looking good.

The devil set up a great trap from either side, and we are being forced to pick our poison. Not much choice..

Well, I think we are facing the 'sudden destruction' phase which SOP tells us is next...

"So now, a sudden and unlooked-for calamity, something that brings the soul face to face with death, will show whether there is any real faith in the promises of God." (COL 412)

"Yet when the storm of opposition and reproach bursts upon them ..." (GC 609)

"Confusion fills the world, and a great terror is soon to come upon human beings. The end is very near. We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise." (T8 28)

"Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones." (T9 11)

"... they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place,-that the world is of the verge of a stupendous crisis." (PK 537)

"Christians should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise." (PK 626)

"The work of the people of God is to prepare for the events of the future, which will soon come upon them with blinding force." (SM2 142)

"... be not deceived ... by the syren songs of the sleepy shepherds crying peace and safety when destruction is just ready to burst upon the world." (ST Jan 3, 1878)
