It’s been said, if you put a bunch of black ants in a jar with a bunch of red ants, nothing will happen. They actually seem to get along. However, if you shake the jar robustly and dump them back onto the ground they will all fight to the death! Why do you think that is?
The theory is, after the “shake-up” the ants think the other is their enemy, when in fact it was the one that shook the jar! And in today’s world, there appears to be a “whole lot of shaken going on” as Jerry Lee Lewis would say, while playing his piano!
We have the liberals against the conservatives, blacks against whites, the pro-mask against the anti-mask people, pro-vax against anti-vax, non-binary against the binary, poor against the rich, heterosexuals against the homosexuals, and of course men against women. Additionally, geopolitically, Russia is against Ukraine, Iran against Israel and the USA; and China is also against the USA, and of course Israel is against the Palestinians.
Sad, but true! We are living in very dynamic times surrounded by many driving forces of change. “Shifts” are blowing in the wind. And different results are bound to occur since efforts to challenge the status quo are being conducted, disrupting the orthodoxy! The most recent State of the Union plainly address’s this! And many are asking, where is all this leading too?
Recently, President Trump held a meeting with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine at the White House. Due to the disruptive discourse that played out publicly, President Trump made a very serious and disturbing comment to the President of Ukraine. He cautioned and warned President Zelenskyy he is playing with WW – 3 !! This is a horrific thought when considering both the USA and Russia are armed to the “hilt” with nuclear weapons. But, like it or not, this is the reality modern day, 21st mankind is facing. The stakes couldn’t be higher and more jeopardizing! Yes, the “jar” is being “shook” by many forces and spiritual beings in high places.
Yet, we are told not to be troubled as we witness these shifting sands and platelet moves over the landscape of the geopolitical stage. Notice: “And when you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not troubled for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in different places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginning of sorrows” (pains) [Mark. 13:7-8]. So, we’re being told expect disruption, disasters, sorrow and suffering.
Most don’t recognize this, but the USA is a “Providential Birth-right Nation” as is the United Kingdom (Gen 48:19-20). However, these nations are destined to be corrected by God due to their transgressions––it’s called “Jacob’s trouble.” God speaks plainly through the prophet Jeremiah that He [God], is not please with the “Birth-right Nations” labeled “Israel.” He fully intends NOT to make a full end of them, but will correct them––these cultures––“in measure.” Notice: “For I am with you, says the Lord, to save you: …yet will I not make a full end of you: but I WILL CORRECT you in measure (the Birth-right nations), and will not leave you altogether unpunished” (Jer. 30:11).
Jeremiah continues: “…your bruise is incurable and your wound is grievous. There is none to plead you cause, …you have no healing medicines. All your lovers (allies) have forgotten you; they seek you not; for I (God) have wounded you with the wound of an enemy (invasion), with the chastisement of a cruel one (a vicious enemy), [why?] for the multitude of your iniquity; because your sins were increased” (Jer. 30:12-14).
What we see described is the “sunset” of their national existence, the Birth-right Nations will collapse. It appears it will be a violent end to their national influence. This also indicates at some point there will be an international trend toward dis-favoring these “Providential” nations and their allies (lovers) will distance themselves from them.
President Trump is beginning to disrupt the status quo. He is causing international tension and controversy by re-structuring the foreign policy of the United States, cleaning up wasteful government spending, and political corruption. This is causing political re-alignments “within” the USA as well as relationships of nations “outside” of the USA––creating very strange “bed fellows” around the world. Nations that were thought to be enemies seem to be actually lining up along different lines of allegiance. And potential changes may cause different results.
For instance, if the United States backs out of NATO this will immediately cause the European Union (E.U.) to develop a much stronger military, forcing them to take responsibility to defend themselves. Obviously, this could be the fall-out of this “America First” policy that is “center stage” presently, in the USA. But, a “re-armed European Union,” headed up by Germany and France, could present a whole new set of circumstances that may not be so friendly toward the USA as they grow in “military strength.” Currently, even the United Kingdom seems to be leaning toward siding with the E.U.––sharing in their position with Ukraine’s pro-war stance,rather than trying to drive them to negotiate with Russia, as the USA would prefer.
As we move into the future and the USA begins to pull back it’s “gravy train” foreign policy, and commences eliminating and/or reducing subsidies for foreign programs outside of the USA; it will be interesting to see just how these allies align with each other. The United States has been such a source of revenue over decades for so many nations around the world, for all types of foreign aid––that removing it, is bound to affect the USA’s relationships with those nations. And at some point, the growing disfavor will lead to abandonment, causing existential jeopardy and harm to the United States. Yes, the “jar” is being shaken by many conditions and sources!
There may be some short term benefits to an “America First” policy that may be beneficial to the country and its people, but ultimately, if pulling back on foreign subsidy revenue hampers the USA’s influence––well then, the long term risk, may lead to resentment and finally, collapse.
The warning to all Americans is prepare yourselves for some major changes––shifts––in areas that would seem far-reaching just a few years ago, but because of the technologies available and creative ideas being explored, may be surprisingly attainable. Areas that may be affected for “redefining” may be taxes, prices, currencies, and yes, even some government departments like the IRS, the Federal Reserve, CIA, even the military. Corporations, in the technology industry, pharmaceuticals, food production, and the power segment, could all be modified due to de-regulations, and new regulations and laws that will be passed.
Admittedly, it is rather exciting to see these major movements disrupting the status quo, causing potential “resets” of national and international stability. But, these adjustments could result in new government operations “within” the USA, which will cause new alignments, politically, “within” the USA and foreign nations. For better, or worse, we are in for quite a ride over the next few years and it’s not without its threatening risks, dangers, and “shake-ups!”
Prophetically, Manasseh (USA) may yet reach higher levels of enriched wealth from its land, technology and people, but sadly prosperity has only lead cultures and nations away from God––its been the legacy of mankind’s societal patterns. So, be prepared for a time “when they shall say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them” (1 Thess. 5:1-4). Remember, as a nation and people of God, the only security we have is to turn back to Him.
That is where our “place of safety” is; and our protection is assured!!
