The Rise of the "Post-American" Empires

I cannot recall a single day in which there was so much in the news as relating to prophecy. If you are just logging on, you will see from scrolling down. But each of these articles is important and timely.

The pace of birth pains is picking up dramatically:

The Rise of the Post-American Empires

When the Utopians of the left talk about a Post-American world, they mean a great borderless globe ruled over by international law, where there are no more citizens or nations, just people who happen to enjoy working and living in New York, Shanghai or Islamabad.

This digital jet setting globocratic version of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ is their envisioned outcome of globalization. No more governments. Only one single world girdling government.

The Utopians want an end to national power and cultural imperialism, but their globalist vision is cultural imperialism backed by national power. The Utopians visualize a world administered through international law.

The “international community” has only two major enforcement mechanisms, trade sanctions and armed invasion.


And this:

A new era of colonialism would take place under the blue flag of the UN and with the sanction of international law. Its security council would become a loose alliance of rival hegemonies, Chinese, Russian, Islamic, Bolivarian, trading territory to each other’s “peacekeeping” troops. The UN would finally become a global Hitler-Stalin pact.

That is the face of the Post-American world. Either empire building or a new dark age. Or both. Take your pick.

The Utopians are too enamored of their vision of progressive government to be able to view it as anything other than inevitable. Barring some massive natural disaster, asteroid or nuclear war, they see the entire world getting more and more liberal, casting off their mores, identities and beliefs to join in one great rainbow flavored dance number. They see the triumph of their way as inevitable.


This view looks a lot like the world which will be in existence during the Tribulation.

The states are indeed dissolving, but in the old Roman way. Empires and nations are decaying and falling apart because they lack any reason to go on. They have become giant bankrupt cradles overseen by men and women who no longer believe in nations or anything but the manifest destiny of a cradle globe run by themselves.

While the Utopians dream up global air castles, the rest of the world is planning to grab a chunk of the post-American empire.

China and the Muslim world are the most blatantly ambitious of the bunch, but there are others too. And as the collapse of the West becomes more obvious, even nations like Japan which were able to embrace the leisure of pacifism under an American umbrella, will have to go and learn war again.


This is a long article, worth reading. It sounds like we are now moving towards the Tribulation at light speed.

It is time (again) to have bibles in hand and on our knees in prayer.

Thanks a lot..

I have never seen a day like this, and I'm STILL not done with my usual news review of various outlet sites.

We're getting close folks, there is no denying that...

There may be more to come.

God Bless you Scott for stepping out to share all you know. God Bless the people (the family) of this forum for adding and sharing your insights to better help us all. This site has become such a wonderful ball of love and energy for me. You have taken some very scary and challenging days and help add calmness and peace while sharing Gods word. Can't wait to meet you all very soon!

Scott said...

GG - you just captured my feelings as well

Maranatha!

Scott-almost every waking moment is spent looking, studying, researching and praying. It has become so fast paced I can hardly keep up! Thank you. thank you. thank you. I am sure my friends think I have flipped my lid. The things of this world have become virtually meaningless to me. Only Christ has meaning

Aubrey said...

I sooooo agree with the anonymous post above. I can't take interest in anything worldly anymore. I just don't care because I realize time is short and none of it has any meaning. I only wish I could convince others (including Christians) the same thing. It's Christ, only Christ and everything else is nothing.

Alice said...

And I ditto what Anon and Aubrey said above.

I always wonder... When the Church is raptured, we watchers will know what happened. We often talk about meeting each other there! What about the Christians who are asleep and not watching? Those who, when we try to talk about what's going on in the world, look at us like we have 3 heads. Assuming they do know the Lord, what will they think when they, in the twinkling of an eye, arrive in heaven? Will they be confused? Or will they just KNOW, supernaturally?

Just things I think about... ;)

@Alice:

The look on their faces will be "priceless" either way.

I agree with all of the post!

You know when we talk to others about the things happening in the world related to bible prophesy, so many people do look at us with strange looks, confusion, disbelief, ignorance,arrogance or just plain I could care less looks.

Its ashame..the bible is telling us just what is going to happen, and we see it all coming together so perfectly, but so many are blinded to the things of world.

If I were not a believer I would be terrified of the way this world is headed. Pure terrified..but as believers we are not. We have a peace, a Godly peace.

Alice there are a choice few who it will be tempting not to say, "I told you so"

Thanks Scott for all the hard work...mega blessings to you!

I agree it won't be long...it will certainly be sureal to hear the shofar/trumpet blast and then in a twinkling of an eye begin to ascend upward...I had my first ever rapture dream a few weeks back...it seemed so real as I began to ascend I saw Jesus and just began to weep. "I can only imagine"!

Anonymous said...

I would LOVE to have a rapture dream! Amazing. You are blessed.

Scott said...

WV - I often ask pastor friends of mine (in a joking way of course) m if it will be appropriate in heaven to say "I told you so!".....")

The answer is usually "no".....

Oh well.....

(We can all snicker in the corner though and make it obvious that we're THINKING "I told ya so!")

Just kiddin

Had one when I was a kid. All I remember now was hyperventilating. (duh, right?)

at that point they will all be ashamed at not looking for Messiah!and maybe a little jealous of our crowns...

Well, what can I say ??

Stocks were up again, nothing new
about that.

BUT, the dollar is starting to RALLY !!!

And wave counts on the Dow Industrials MAY be indicating a
HUGE number three down unfolding.

we will see.

i would not BUY this market if
someone put a gun to my head.

THAT is HOW bearish i am.

Scott, regarding unemployment,
it is REALLY well over 9.1 %...

government figures are set up
to DECIEVE you, be careful.

If you COUNT all the people not
even looking for work cause they
gave up, the number should be
more like 17 to 18 percent.

I was listening to Sen. Jim DeMint in an interview this morning and he stated that we have one last chance to save America by electing a candidate who wants to restore our nation in the next election. I have to disagree with this statesman. We have already lost America and the damage already incurred is far beyond what any elected president will be able to restore. The system is not only broken--it's shattered. It's awaiting restoration by one leader who has a global vision, one which will come at a high cost to both believer and non-believer alike. We are living in a dying world where the masses will endorse the false shepherd. As a result, they will pledge their lives to an eternity of separation from God. Jesus taught that few would enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew 7:13 (NKJV)

13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

It's time to make that decision. Who will you serve?

Dylan said...

Hey, thanks for the Explanations on what I posted earlier.


Wow, I'm gone for 7 hours and I miss alot, things are moving fast. Btw Scott, I believe God has a sense of humour, so I think it's be ok to say "I told you!"

Ann Marie said...

Excellent, motivating comments today, despite the 'end of the world as we know it' news. I too find it hard to stay focused as I know that the our time on this earth is short. God Bless you Scott and all of the other readers of this website. I frequently provide this link to others as you defintely do not find this information on the 6 o'clock news nor via the typical news websites. AM

Caver said...

Just a brotherly joining with all my other B&S here in....
1. Thanking and praising Scott for such diligent and informing gathering & reporting the news and putting it in such biblical perspective.
2. Rejoicing in the nearness of "the Hour".
3. Marveling at and pondering the blindness and lack of interest in some "out there".

I read your post and I am so excited for your rapture dream you had. Wasn't it the most euphoric experience ascending toward Jesus? I believe God is starting to reveal this to many. I am going to pray today that God will unleash this experience to his faithful servants here who have not experienced it. I only had it once in April and it describes beauty and love in it's purest form. I am happy for you to have experienced this. I believe he is starting to show this part of his many signs and wonders before we go home.

God Bless!!

Thanks for the encouragement...yes you describe the feeling to a "T".

Yes...Euphoric...is the word that describes the feeling from the dream. I have had flying dreams before but not rapture dreams where I was ascending and looking at and hearing Jesus. I did not however really have any conscientious feeling regarding a glorified body other than I was of course going up.
