Destruction of a great land by God is like a threshing floor. Yet destruction is part of any great city, purging of God and then the purging of the devils right at out of the land of destruction. I was thinking on the mindset of how we see devils rise into power only to be taken down by the power of God. Israel was a passive at certain times and not always fighting back with swords and spears, especially if they knew the power that was in control was beyond their technology. God would have to defeat this type of technology and power, they could do nothing in human strength. We look at two powers that raised in our own country both Democratic and Republican party, but rivaling for leadership. The worse crime of two political parties is the need for ownership of changes made in our nation. It ridiculous, it like a year of repetition of news for four years. It also shows the ignorance of politician to think bi partisans don't see this and say maybe we need to throw someone out of office to get something we need done and shake the news a bit more. There is a point powers rise up to make change for either good or evil. Democrates often seem to have an evil agenda because of their view on abortion, their idea of immorality, and how these things really do not affect our nation. Yet some are only taking the side to debate these issues for people that are not defended by right wing fundamental christians of our land. I once was in a debate and I had to take a side in general I would never take personally, but I had to make a defense for the other side. To defend equal rights the debate of and defense of is not the same as personal rights. That makes our land a non Christian government? Not necessarily, it only proves something that certain things are looked at from the side of what can people handle that in option. Should certain things be allowed or should it be constituted at lawless behavior.

When lawless behavior is allowed in a land and evil ways are allowed destruction does comes to a nation. Destruction comes because the evil of the land turns against God and his people, and even the freedom of God's people. God's people are free in God's world and devil is allow freedom too, until the final curtain call upon the earth. God's people allow statues to rise they know one day they will fall. We know that artwork of a nation only depicts the crisis of the nation because the honoring of statues are greater then the honor of God. Nebuchanezzar at one point erected a statue of himself to have all to bow to him and anyone not bowing to him would be thrown in the lions den, or the fiery furnance. Believers stood up and said no we will not bow. Yet the statues was put to the test, to only have God destroy their faith in the king and put their loyalty into the God of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshrach and Abednego. This the beginning of harvest in Babylon, A time of threshing and cutting away the chaff from the wheat. Taking the fruit of wheat from the stalk that useable to make bread. God allows the wheat and the weeds to grow together for a time, and then the harvest comes and the division of tossable and keepable comes. Dragons/devils arise in a nation causing trouble, causing death and destruction to God's people only for God to bring his wrath either from another nation that arise or sets the captives/God's people free. King Darius of the Medes would set Israel free, but he had to win the war against Babylon first. God was sending a country into Babylon tougher then itself. Israel would be set free one day, under a country to rebuild the temple, but God also for rise up another nation called Rome, to rule and govern the people of the land. Giving freedom to each nation, but also sitting up guidelines like we see today in our own nation. Four powers would come against Israel. Babylon, Medes, Persia and Rome in the Old Testament time line. This return of Israel, and peace of Israel right now is with tares and wheat growing together. We fail to see the tares, because of who in control of God's temple right now.

When we read Revelation about the dragon or dragons some of this is talking about the time of exile of Israel, and not necessarily what is to come, but in away it is about what will come. For as long as there are nations and godlessness in our world nations will rise against nations, powers against powers to destroy, only to loose their power by act and will of God. It better to be on God's side and know the power of the name of Jesus, the word of God/His Son, and the power given to protect the people and fruit of God in the world. God will get rid of those things that are evil and restore all that is good. Yet it does not mean persecution will and can not come to innocent people of God from the devil who wishes to destroy you. Indentify who is destroying you. God's people or the devil.

Dear Heavenly Father thresh the floors of our land and show your children your power to control, destroy and deliver your children from the evil force that want to destroy them. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

Luke 3:16-17 KJV
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

Matthew 13:24-30 KJV
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
