America's judgement comes from God, and God never tries His people in His judgements so I believe God will have another plan for His people that find themselves in future America. Also, many other people living in America will be returning to the lands from where they came because of the fear of the nothern nations. I believe America is going to face some wild times ahead. Yet we can see what is going to happen here by looking at the prophecies in Jermiah 50 and 51. Also Revelation 18.
Honestly, and I really don't mean to sound rude, but I don't think anything of the Bible as anything more than fiction. If you're trying to convince me that something crazy is going to happen to America in the near future, biblical verse doesn't really do much for me.

No kidding. The people in my church have been saying its the end of time since I was a child, fast forward 40 years, things are still going on.

The point in leaving is not that there awaits a perfect place somewhere else on Earth, but so as not to partake in her sins or her plagues.The end times involve a certain order of certain events. I'll begin with the destruction of the harlot, which is the secular entity of the USA (distinct from the Church in USA). The ship is going to sink, so we're gonna go ahead and get off the boat before it does. Then, we will have to deal with the evil beast, as will every one in the world. But soon then the LORD JESUS will return, destroy the beast, ressurect the saints and after the judgement, take His people to the Heavenly Jerusalem (not the earthly Jerusalem). The earth is GOD's footstoole. His throne will never be placed here! He rules over the Earth but His throne is in Heaven.

SO answer the question, where are you going to flee to, to avoid "partaking of her sins".

Surely for such a HUGE undertaking, you must have some plans of where your going to pick up and move to, I assume drag your family along to.

I will drag no one! I came up on the rough side of the mountain. GOD is my strength! My faith and trust is in LORD JESUS. HE has delivered me from many dangers. A hurracane at sea, a loaded gun pointed at my face more than once, through many dangers to numerous to list. But, I love all people and am sensitive to the needs of the weaker. I of my self am nothing. The LORD is my strength. I already stated Canada as my goal. People cross that border every day. What's the big deal about that? I see Canadians driving on the interstate. Aparrently they drag thier families across the border. My youngest son is 18. I hope they will choose to go. I'd love to have thier help along the way. Worry,fear, and panic has no place in the camp of the saints.

Are you planning on legally Emmigrating there? Canadians come here to visit but don't as often come here illegally.

Since they have to get far away from the US and there are so many of them, where on earth (or in the Universe) are they going to end up?
I don't know - I just hope they don't go to Germany. If things get hot here in the US, and I have to return to my "homeland" and all, I'd prefer to not have thousands of religious fanatics at my doorstep. Although, come to think of it, then it might be like living in America again.
