THE PRUNING OF AMERICA

When a tree is pruned, every branch that bears no fruit is cut off and discarded to allow greater nourishment for the fruit-bearing branches. Branches that bear no fruit utilize resources but never return a yield. Gardeners prune trees but God prunes countries. God prunes for the same reasons that the gardener prunes, to cause the country to become more fruitful. 

At present, America is experiencing a spiritual winter. It is frozen in a state of barren perpetuality. Pruning is essential if the country is to progress beyond its current state. When and how that pruning will occur is not known, nor the nature of the pruning. However, given the eschatological time frame in which we now live, the pruning can begin at any moment.
