Did it slip your reading that I was talking about a marxist, totalitarian state?You seem to be describing a state very similar to the UK. Last time I checked we had very few mass shootings.
Ask George Orwell. He seemed to have a pretty good handle on whether that'd "be so very bad."Would that be so very bad?
You could use that proverb in the same way for North Korea.
I do actually. There is no power or authority on earth not established by Him. The cause/effect is clear to me: Those who turn their back on God should expect His Wrath, those who revere His name should expect His mercy. 1 Samuel 8.
Looks like the US is getting God's Wrath right now.
Maybe not His full wrath, but He's given over most to their own vices and depraved minds, "to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them." (Rom 1)Nobody is getting God's wrath right now. Everyone is dealing with nothing more than the wrath and stupidity of ordinary men.

Those men you speak of are vessels and thus the conduit of and for God's Wrath, as it was with Pharaoh.

Only in America. In other Western Democracies it would be national news. America is inured to people dying- which is a terrible state of affairs. It literally means life is cheap.The one or two person getting shot stories are just 30-word bits in the local paper that rarely make front page, and even less the local news.
And why do you think that is? Why do people want gun control? People don’t clamour for spatula control because they are not used to kill people every day.They don't care about who got shot, hurt, maimed, killed; they don't care about the family members, friends, coworkers - all they care about is the opportunity to point out the "necessity" for implementing more gun controls.
What on Earth gives you the idea that Americans having fewer guns in circulation will lead to a totalitarian Marxist state? Did that happen in the UK or Australia?Did it slip your reading that I was talking about a marxist, totalitarian state?

You see, we’ve been hearing that for over a thousand years and yet here we are.Maybe not His full wrath, but He's given over most to their own vices and depraved minds, "to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them." (Rom 1)
That's right now - but God's full wrath IS coming.
You're merely defining "God's wrath" as "God allowing men to be as they naturally are."
That pretty much dilutes "God's wrath" to meaninglessness. So now you have to qualify it: "God's full wrath"

Are the Northern European nations experiencing God’s wrath?
