The Continental Divide, also known as The Great Divide, extends from northern Alaska southward across North America, then continues through Central and finally South America where it ends. This prominent divide of the continent, in very basic terms, separates the hydrological features and watersheds, thus forming the pattern of the rivers while influencing the runoff towards the Pacific and Atlantic oceans as well as the Gulf of Mexico. While there exist several lesser divides in North America, this Great Divide, as it is known, represents the primary divide across the entire continent.
In today’s world a prophetic divide is growing, separating the spiritual realms – a tug-of-war between good and evil – that will determine the flow of humanity towards it’s final destination for all eternity. This reality should be of little surprise to anyone, whether a believer or not, as the topic of end times prophesy has grown in earnest over recent decades pointing towards the rapture of the church and the coming tribulation. Ironically as these signs are revealed at an unprecedented rate, many a pulpit has chosen to look the other way as opposed to preaching this most important message in these perilous times. Whether that message is accepted or not is up to the listener, but keep in mind that God has always demonstrated great patience and gives warnings so that all of creation might be saved. But that patience will run out and consequences will follow.
“The Lord does not delay his promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9
Before the great flood there were warnings for more than ten decades but humanity in general ignored the call to righteousness and the consequences were devastating. Likewise with Sodom and Gomorrah, warnings went unheeded, indulgence in all forms of depravity became the norm and the consequences soon followed. Now today – the warnings are prevalent – God has gone to great lengths through the many prophesies given in His Word to alert the world to turn back from evil as the end is drawing near, but the great majority do not want to hear it.
This world is growing darker by the minute as wars and the rumors of wars are being waged all around us. The United States has withdrawn from Afghanistan and it has quickly fallen back under the control of the Taliban. In one of the most heartbreaking visuals that I’ve ever seen, people so desperate to escape the war-torn region were grasping the landing gear of departing military transports, only to fall hundreds of feet to their deaths.
