America Forever!

The Bible says the first shall be last, and the last shall be first. I wonder if we’re seeing that in Africa. When the rapture comes, will there be a huge wave of Africans accompanied by a tiny trickle of Americans and Europeans?

After T.B. Joshua died, I looked for other ministries to observe. The conclusion I have come to is that on the whole, African churches are superior to American churches. There are plenty of corrupt preachers and Christians in both places, but Africa has something America lacks: big churches full of faith-filled people, where miracles, deliverance, and good teaching are features of nearly every service.

Africa has entire nations that have declared themselves Christian. Remember when Obama, who is despised by African Christians, said America was not a Christian nation? African nations have responded to coronavirus with state-sanctioned days of prayer. African nations have leaders who will sit in front of MSM cameras and say, with no trace of embarrassment, that homosexuality is evil and will not be encouraged in exchange for American aid dollars.

Southern Africa’s covid miracle is a wonder to behold. Nations that stand up for God no longer have coronavirus epidemics, and they never had major problems. They don’t have Antifa and BLM riots. They are not experiencing the shortages we face here in the world’s richest country. My wife says food is abundant in Zambia. The big problem is a weak economy that makes it hard for people to buy it.

If I had to guess, I would say things will get much, much worse in the pro-perversion nations while Southern Africa, apart from South Africa and a couple of other “progressive” nations, continues to roll along pretty much as it does right now. It will be interesting to see if my impression is correct.

In the America of 2000, you were free to say, “I don’t have any interest in taking action against people because of their odd sexual practices, but I believe what they do is sinful.” Now you can’t do that. Most Americans claim to belong to ancient religions that explicitly condemn sodomy, yet you can pretty much expect to be persecuted and ostracized by those same people if you simply say you agree with your religion’s teachings. It’s not enough to be tolerant. You have to join the deviants and help them promote their beliefs and practices.

It’s a very big deal. We are blinded to the significance of it because of herdthink, cowardice, and the incremental nature of the change, but 2021 America is an astonishing place compared to the America of our parents. Deviation is mainstream now, in our entertainment, our businesses, our government, and our “Christian” churches. The proponents of sin won. There is no struggle. That’s all behind us. America is an aggressively pro-deviation nation; far and away the greatest power in favor of coerced cooperation with sexual sin that the world has ever known. We used to snicker at the Greeks. They were nothing compared to us.

How can it be that Africans have become more advanced than Americans? Aren’t they the people we send bags of rice? How can it be that they’re sending much-needed missionaries here? How can it be that Americans who want to see the Christianity of Jesus in action have to go to Youtube and watch people in Nigeria?

Africa isn’t perfect. It has a huge underground homosexuality problem, and it’s full of witchcraft. Still, the tsunami of plagues God is allowing to drown developed nations is passing Southern Africa by. Maybe curses aren’t just about sin. Maybe they’re more about official endorsement of sin. Places like Uganda have big AIDS problems due to secret sodomy, but their governments are openly against perversion.

In the US, we don’t have the option of voting for congressmen and presidents who will endorse Jesus and stand against perversion. They can’t make it through the primaries.

Maybe America is in trouble because we have started encoding support for sin in our laws.

What would happen if Joel Osteen grew a spine and some intestines and decided to cast demons of sexual perversion out on national TV? Americans would destroy his TV ministry in under a month. He would end up with a thousand-person church in a warehouse complex. I don’t think his staff, entourage, and pampered wife have anything to worry about, though. If Osteen ever found he had a trace of a spine, he would have it removed immediately.

This country is gone; finished; kaput. You know what people like to say when they see a bad injury: “There’s no coming back from that.” That’s us. If you support sexual sin, rejoice and stop seeing yourself as part of a struggle. You are not the underdog. You’re the establishment. You’re dominant. You won a long time ago. Christians, observant Jews, and Muslims lost, and they will keep losing, losing, losing. You can tell us where to work and if we can work. You can drive us out of neighborhoods. You can have our stuff. Rejoice. The fun won’t last long, because a very angry and deadly Jesus is going to return, but you’re in charge right now.

Not in Africa, of course, but still.

Why are Africans so strong when we’re so weak? How did that happen? Where did they get so much guts?

America is the Ronda Rousey of countries. Remember her? Let’s look back at her career.

She started by going to the 2008 Olympics and winning a bronze in judo. Not gold. I assume she was not competing against the world’s best, because they would have to be professionals and therefore ineligible. She didn’t fight the best, and two nobodies still did better than she did.

She entered the MMA world, where the female talent pool was very small. She beat a lot of people fight historians now consider mediocre. She used the same hold over and over. She grappled instead of striking, because grappling was all she knew.

People like Joe Rogan and Gene LeBell started saying she was a once-in-a-lifetime talent. She was unstoppable. Destined to be the best athlete of the century.

Rousey got full of herself. She started saying she could beat up men. She threatened at least one. Even Serena Williams never got that crazy. Williams got her rear end handed to her by a third-rate male pro. Rousey is alive and walking today because she never tried to deliver on her threats.

Rousey found herself a striking trainer named Tarverdyan. He claimed he was a world champion boxer, but what does that mean when there are no unified titles? I’m pretty sure there are organizations somewhere that would give me titles for $25 each. Tarverdyan’s title was even more suspect because he got it by fighting a person with no record.

Rousey started shadow-boxing for the cameras. It was disturbing. She didn’t box BADLY. It was more like she didn’t BOX. She bent her wrists, squared up to the camera, held her head high, and threw “punches” that came from the shoulders. If you’re not a boxer, you may not understand how crazy that is. She looked like a kitten throwing swipes at a littermate. I am not exaggerating. She was totally incompetent. The sycophants didn’t care. She was indestructible!

If you watch her shadow-box, you will see she throws her rear end in the opposite direction from the punch. That’s unbelievable. Your rear end has to go in the same direction as your hand if you want power. They teach you that during the first 10 minutes of your first day. If you move your behind backward, you make your punches softer.

Rousey arranged a fight with Holly Holm, a very good boxer who later faded into the ranks of ordinary MMA fighters. She talked smack about humiliating and dismantling Holm. It was a foregone conclusion. She made Muhammad Ali look humble.

She didn’t realize her career had already ended. She would never again make a credible appearance in the ring.

Of course, Rousey lost to Holm in the second round, and she was no challenge at all. She would have been knocked out in the first round, but it took Holm a while to wrap her head around Rousey’s shocking lack of ability, so she hesitated. Once she realized she was fighting unopposed, it was like watching Holm beat up an amateur.

Rousey couldn’t punch correctly or land her bad punches. She couldn’t kick. Stubbornly, presumably because she was THE Ronda Rousey, she kept trying to box, and Holm kept punching her in the mouth. Rousey started panting. She wasn’t in shape. Gods don’t have to train.

Rousey decided to grapple, having been assured she was the best grappler in history. She grabbed Holm repeatedly. Holm peeled her off effortlessly, as you might peel your cat off your leg while trying to put groceries away. Rousey is much, much weaker than Holm. She learned this at the same time we did.

Rousey fought orthodox, but she led with her right hand. You know who leads with a right? Someone like Ali or Mayweather. In other words, a person with fast hands and head movement. Not a Ronda Rousey. Rousey is slow, slow, slow, and she didn’t have enough common sense to cover her face with her left while the right was out there failing to connect.

Rousey couldn’t strike, she couldn’t wrestle, she couldn’t block punches, and she wasn’t allowed to quit. Holm beat her for a while and then put her down. Holm was fighting southpaw, but she was so confident, she hit Rousey with a lead left, proving she could easily do what Rousey had failed to do. Holm connected with left leads often during the short fight. Rousey couldn’t even lead with her jab hand.

Rousey fell and ended up facing away from Holm. When she stood up, her hands were down, either because she was a bad boxer or because she had a fresh concussion. Holm turned the stumbling, compliant Rousey toward herself, positioned her perfectly, and kicked her in the face. Rousey was out. When she hit the canvas, her arms were down, and her face hit first. Before the referee intervened, Holm punched the inert Rousey in the same place she kicked her three more times. It was months before Rousey could eat properly again. Several of her teeth were loose, and her lip had to be stitched closed.

In her next and final bout, she faced Amanda Nunes, a better fighter than Holm. Unfortunately, she kept Tarverdyan and didn’t improve. Unlike Holm, Nunes had very heavy hands. She was a power puncher. Rousey had never faced anyone like her. Rousey was the person who said “girl punches” didn’t hurt.

A relaxed, unscathed, dry-skinned Nunes delivered a brutal, decisive TKO to a bloody, staggering Rousey in the first round, and at some point after Rousey recovered, she took her battered reputation, which had been landing her movie roles, and went to work in the WWE, which is about like becoming a rodeo clown, only less dignified.

Holm went on to lose her next three fights, one to someone Rousey had beaten. She eventually lost to Nunes, following a face kick reminiscent of the Rousey shot.

Honest fight critics will say they learned some things about Rousey. She is extremely slow for a striker. She can’t hit hard. She punches inaccurately. She can barely kick at all. She has no head movement. She has no guard. She has a glass jaw. She isn’t very strong. She gets tired faster than her opponents.

In short, not only is she not a phenomenal fighter; she’s not a very good fighter. She’s not good enough to fight in the UFC, even as a journeyman. She didn’t quit because she was traumatized, tired, or intimidated. She quit because she found out she was a fake, and she knew her future earnings were evaporating with each loss. Even if she had gone back to work with a real trainer and gotten in great shape and sparred with top partners, she would have continued losing, and if that had happened, not even the WWE would have hired her. That would have led to a career operating a strip mall dojo. With only two losses to explain, she and her employers can at least pretend she could have continued fighting.

Every woman in the UFC knows how to beat her now. Get in good condition so you outlast her. Punch her in the mouth, because she can’t stop you. Avoid her submission holds, or, if you’re stronger than she is, just pull her off. Don’t worry about her punches, because they’re weak and she misses. She missed Holm so completely, she followed through and landed on the canvas with Holm standing behind her.

America is just as self-gaslighted as Rousey. America thinks it can beat coronavirus, shortages, and internal hatred, because we’re AMERICA! We think we can beat China, even though China has already won. We’re like Samson, lying on Delilah’s lap, dreaming of beating up Philistines even as she wipes the Barbasol off our defenseless head.

Southern Africa may be more like Gideon, hiding out and feeling weak and unimportant while God prepares a victorious future.

California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and other blue states are not doing well right now. I plan to keep checking to see how things unfold.
