 “They will make their voice heard because of you; they will cry bitterly and cast dust on their heads; they will roll about in ashes; They will shave themselves completely bald because of you, gird themselves with sackcloth, and weep for you with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.” Ezekiel27:30-31

America’s economic decline will feel like a betrayal to her trading partners. The trading partners depended on America for their prosperity and economic stability. They will mourn bitterly with much bitterness in their heart towards America. America’s trading partners will feel like they have been betrayed and abandoned to the will of the government of the beast, total opposite of what America had always stood for. They will make their bitter voices of grievance heard against America. Grievance against America is empowerment for the world government and its global culture. As the global economic and military reach of America weakens, the strength of the United Nations as the one world government strengthens.

Jesus Christ came to give us peace, joy, and Salvation, but relying on the resources, values, and prosperity of this world leads to a huge let down, sadness, and bitterness. In Jesus, we do not conform to this world, but we conform to the life of Holiness, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

America is lamented as her economic greatness is destroyed by the global government. “In their wailing for you they will take up a lamentation, and lament for you: ‘What city is like Tyre, destroyed in the midst of the sea?” Ezekiel 27:32

All the trading partners that are let down by the decline of America’s lucrative and luxurious economy will take up a grievance against her. The world government of the beast and its global culture hear their wailing and bitter voices cry out, “What city is like America, destroyed in the midst of the sea?” In the midst of the sea is not only the global trading partners but is also America’s destruction by the hand of the sea of people of the global culture. The bitter wailing against the destruction of America’s global economic reach is music in the ears of the world government that is developing a global economy.

Jesus Christ calls us not to be ashamed of Him as we live in this world that puts prosperity and materialism above the sacrifice He made on the Cross for the remission of sin, “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:36-38

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
