"That Day Will Burn Like An OVEN"

"The day is coming that shall burn like an oven"(Malachi 4.1).    
It is coming most likely THIS year !! (In the form of RUSSIAN ATTACK).
Why does Peter say that  "Judgment begins at the House of God"??    
Its because the Church (in the form of Christian countries) will be punished MORE than the countries of unbelievers.    
For it says "the ignorant shall be beaten with few stripes, but the knowledgeable    
will be beaten with many stripes"(Luke 12.47-48).    
And the Church certainly is knowledgeable,  
 for we know we're supposed to fight abortion, homosexuality, etc.  
 But we also know that we havent done enuff!!    
This means the Church has to undergo severe PUNISHMENT("many stripes").  
   
And that means America in particular, for we are the leading "Christian" country.    
Where the Church as gone wrong: people say things like, "what can i do? I'm just little me."    
Instead, we're supposed to unite, seeing ourselves as WE "the body of Christ," the great collective - NOT "little me" !!  
 Another way the Church has gone wrong:    
we are willing to fight abortion etc but only as long as the action is legal.    
We're not willing to break the law to save the lives of the unborn.
 Even though MULTIPLE MILLIONS have been killed !!    
This = putting of the law on a pedestal = idolatry:  
 worship of the law!!  
 Just think of how bad it would be if George Washington had shrunk from breaking the law !!    
There would never have been an American Revolution !!  
   
We are called to "be salt."    
And salt fights decay in meat.    
Meat here stands for society.  
 One form of decay in society is abortion.    
For killing your own fetus = moral decay.    
For it is clearly close to murder!!    
But we Christians have FAILED to stop abortion.  
 Therefor we must pay for that failure - that SIN - thru SUFFERING.    
For suffering takes away sin: "he who has suffered in the  flesh has ceased from sin"(1 Peter=4.1).  
"JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT HOUSE OF GOD"(1 Peter 4.17).    
That verse will be fulfilled when the USA gets hit by Russian missile warheads.    
Almost certainly it will be this very year - 2020 !!

PS: why this year 2020 ??!!
Well Christ said "this generation shall not end before all is fulfilled."(Luke 21.32).
Actually the Olivett Discourse covers two SEPARATE generations.
We can discount the events that were fulfilled in the generation that began at the cross in AD 30. and ended in AD 70. The endtime "generation" = the REVERSE of the two deaths that marked the first generation (Christ's and Israel's).
The endtime generation begins with Israel's return and finishes with Christ's Return (Christ's APPEARING, Hebrews 9.28, would be more accurate). For Christ said, "When these things BEGIN, look up for your redemption draws nigh" Luke 21.28. So we can use THAT beginning for the start of the endtime generation. Trouble is there is no explicit mention of a beginning. But there IS a mention of and "ending," and that automatically = a beginning of something else. Yes, the "ending of the times of the gentiles" (Luke 21.24) ruling over the land of Israel = the time of the BEGINNING we are looking for !! - "The beginning of these things. " So we take 1948's restoration of the state of Israel as the starting pount for the endtime generation, by the end of which "all things" are supposed to be "fulfilled" !! (Luke 21.32). We are forced to use 70 years(Psalms 90.10) as the length of a generation. For 40 years came and went. But even the first century proto-generation can be thought of as about 70 years long. If we count from AD 1 instead of AD 30. For the destruction of the temple and city came in AD 70.
But 1948 + 70 yielded nothing. But we can adjust 1948 into 1950 !! For the full nation came back ONLY WHEN the "joining of the two sticks" occurred - as Ezekiel 37.16-22 requires !! In 1949-1950 the Israeli knesset and supreme court both ruled that the SAMARITANS were to be accepted as Israelis !! This is a BIG DEAL for they are the remnant of the 10 Northern tribes !! (There were only 200 people in 1949-50. And now they are still just 800+ of them. But that doesn't matter.) So we take 1950 as a substitute for 1948 !! Add 70 and we arrive at 2020 !! THAT is how i arrive at this year as the year in which "sudden destruction"(1 Thessalonians 4.16-5.3) will occur, accompanied by the Rapture.
