Actually, there's two plans unfolding.

The first, and most immediate, is Satan's Plan. It sucks. It fucking SUCKS, man.

Then there's God's plan. It's awesome. Bonus: It's a guaranteed win in the end, because if Satan goes "I WIN!" and God goes, "Nah, no you don't," then Satan doesn't win, what with God having complete and total control over everything.

Problem is, God's plan doesn't always work out so great for the people and nations who have forsaken Him. Shoot, there's a lot of times it doesn't work out in the short term for the faithful, either. But long term, yeah.

In this time, I suggest prayer and repentance. Not because we can change God's mind about anything, that can't happen, God's got everything planned out from the start and He never deviates.

But it's like Jonah. God told Jonah "Go to Nineveh, and warn them that I'm going to destroy them all." Jonah ran away, and one Fish later found himself vomited up on the shore... of Nineveh. He limps his way to town, soaking wet and reeking of fish vomit, and says "Listen up, idiots. The God of the Israelites is going to kill you all." And the King of Nineveh goes "OH CRAP, I've heard of that God! QUICK! I COMMAND EVERYONE TO REPENT, AND HONOR THE GOD OF THE ISRAELITES!!!!" And they do. And God doesn't destroy them.

And Jonah has a tantrum, in which he whines at God, basically saying "This is why I tried to run away! I KNEW it was your intent to show them mercy! That's why you sent me to them! I didn't WANT them to be spared!!!"

So what I'm saying is that right now, in our temporal Schroedinger Box, we don't know if what's coming next is God's Righteous Punishment for America forsaking Him, or if it's just the warning of fire and brimstone that drives us to our Repentance.

So Repent. Repent and PRAY.
