Historically, America has experienced a major revival within the first 2 decades of every century since the seventeenth century. If history indeed repeats itself, our nation is on the brink of a major revival.
Rev 3:14-22
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
KJV
It should be remembered that Laodicea, at the time John wrote Revelation, was both a city and a nation. There were likely individual home churches within Laodicea, which remained faithful. History reveals that while God indeed deals with people individually; He also deals with nations collectively.
As revealed by the books of Kings, Chronicles, and the Prophets; God, in His dealings with apostasy in the nation of Israel, God urged repentance up to, during and beyond times of national judgement. This did NOT altar the fact that there came about times beyond which national judgement was unescapable.
When these times came, God protected His faithful through them; but judgement still came.
I believe that the first five seals have already been opened. I am not sure whether we are beyond the time for a last national revival.
