America's Last Days?

I don't know about all of this.

from the link:
When the prophet Nahum saw the vision and wrote chapter 2:2-4, he also saw what he described as chariots that ran as flaming torches, and as fast as lightning, as they ran into each other and into trees. Was he describing our modern-day automobile? I recently stood on a highway overpass in the state of Washington and watched from above as hundreds of vehicles raced down the freeway at dusk. The high speed and headlights glaring made me wonder how Nahum the prophet would have described this scene. No doubt, he would have written exactly as he did write it.

In Nahum's prophecy in those same verses where he described the automobile as an end time sign, he also told of a red army that would invade after the emptiers had finished their work. The prophet even mentions the red shield.
This isn't in our future, that has happened in the past, hundreds of years before Christianity. It's about God's wrath against Nineveh, the Assyrian capital of that time.

The chariots were just that, chariots and the red shields are a reference to the reds shields of the Ninevites. Adam Clarke wrote this in his commentary.

Verse 3. The shield of his mighty men is made red] These things may refer to the war-like preparations made by the Ninevites: they had red shields, and scarlet or purple clothing; their chariots were finely decorated, and proceeded with amazing rapidity.

The fir trees shall be terribly shaken.] This may refer to the darts, arrows, and javelins, flung with destructive power.

Verse 4. The chariots shall rage] Those of the besiegers and the besieged, meeting in the streets, producing universal confusion and carnage.

I do agree that America may very well be subjected to a similar form of wrath for forsaking her Godly ways in favor of the unrighteous path it is on these days.

"for forsaking her Godly ways"?
Friend, this nation has done far worse than that!! America has forsaken and crucified all over again the very Christ on whom this nation was founded and built. And for that, America's judgement is swiftly coming, of which both the just and the unjust are going to suffer.
And, when that judgment comes, those Americans that have been saying, "we sit a queen and shall see no sorrow" are going to be in for the shock of their lives.

From the Treaty of Tripoli 1796-7.
Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

the only thing I think of when I see people post these sort of things, or say them aloud is. What would you have done to return us to the state of a Godly nation. So I ask that question. What would you have our country do in order to return to(working under the idea that we once where) to such an ideal state?
