i can't help but wonder if some of these things happening are not directly related to our nation turning away from God and embracing sin so openly?
Sister, I fully agree that these things are part of God's warning to American Christians.

THE COMING PERSECUTION
Keith Green said, several years ago; when God wants to speak to
His people, He will do it in three ways. First; He will touch their
economy. He will touch them where it hurts, in their economy. If
that doesn’t work, if that doesn’t turn God’s people to repentance,
then God will touch their ecology. Then you have floods and
pestilences, hurricanes, a drought this year that has covered a huge
part of this nation, tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis. Lastly though he
said, God will raise up a nation to come in and invade them.
That is exactly the judgment that God is pronouncing here and
that is the judgment that is soon to come upon this nation and upon
North America. God is sovereignly raising up enemy armies to invade
a nation and, America, this nation, believes she’s too strong for that.
Her military forces are too strong for that. That will never happen! I
want to tell you tonight, that this nation sits on the brink of utter
destruction. She is ripe for the judgment of God. Judgment is at the
door. America will not have a godly president to save the day, nor the
nation.
National leaders and politicians will become even more corrupt.
Muslims and other antichrist groups will be God’s instrument of
judgment and what is most surprising of all, probably, is that this
holy Remnant””and she is found all over the earth, gathered in all
kinds of different congregations””that has seen the King, that has
come to know Jesus and is following Him wholeheartedly, she will be
persecuted by people who profess to be Christians. Churches, if you
will, persecuting them because they are not pledging allegiance to
patriotism or anything else but the Lamb of God””and she will be
arrested, we will be imprisoned, hated, beaten and even executed in
this nation. I want to tell you brothers and sisters, when it happens,
do not think that God’s hands are tied. Don’t think that this has
taken God by surprise. God has actually executed the judgment
however and whenever He chooses. We need to see the sovereign
hand of God behind it all. I love what the brother said earlier, the
lions had to look up. God here raised up the Babylonians, and God is a
God who will allow even His people to suffer at the hands of the
enemies.
