America has defiled her sanctuaries for the need of prosperous trading.

Ezekiel 28:18

“You defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trading; Therefore I brought fire from your midst; it devoured you, and I turned you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all who saw you.” Ezekiel 28:18

Today, the churches of America have been defiled by a multitude of iniquities, and those iniquities relate to economic benefits. In Revelation, the churches go from abandoning the Gospel of Jesus Christ to becoming wealthy and wretched. The defilement of the churches leads to the opening of the Seven Seals, the unfolding of the events of the Seven Trumpets (Revelation 8,9,11), and the appearance of the events of the Seven Plagues. That can be read about in the post about the Defilement of the churches brings the fury of God.

The decline of the churches began with abandoning the Gospel of Jesus Christ while turning to humanitarian practices. That is to focus on the needs of flesh and blood but not focusing on the spirit and soul. Following that is the slandering and affliction of those faithful to God through Jesus Christ who embrace the presence of the Holy Spirit. Then spiritual corruption set in to give place to the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through the people. The masses are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. In the process, the churches become lively, but they are dead to Jesus Christ. The entity with power over physiology makes them feel alive but they are dead in the Spirit. At this point, those faithful to Jesus are few in the world and have little strength. They are not part of the broad majority that exists in the mainstream and defiled churches. The churches are wealthy but spiritually wretched. Defiling the sanctuary of God leads to the destruction of the earth.

Also, our body is the sanctuary of God and defiling the sanctuary leads to destruction, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Today, we live in a world that scoffs at the body being created to house the Holy Spirit, and instead they live for the benefits of what this world has to offer.

God leaves His sanctuary when it is defiled, which means God has left the churches of today because they make a mockery of God the Creator, scoff at the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ and oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. As the Holy Spirit speaks through Ezekiel, “…seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary?” Ezekiel 8:6a. Israel also has rejected Jesus Christ and have discarded the entire New Testament as they live only on the Old Testament scriptures. As a result, their sanctuaries are defiled, and their destruction is upon them.

When Jesus Christ walks out of the churches, and Christianity is left outside the manmade churches, destruction comes, as quoted, “Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Matthew 24:1-2

America is going to go through a fiery ordeal of destruction, which is visible to all.
