While it is entirely possible for God to change any condition so as to
be conducive to His purposes, given the current circumstances of the trip east I'd like to
share these thoughts.
When the pioneers came out west there was virtually no settled land and thus no
agriculture and there was also a great abundance of animal life. Much more animal
life than anyone in our lifetimes has experienced. Starting over in Iowa and
Nebraska, states which used to be grass filled plains, there is now farm land. Very
good for now, but little with which to support much human life now without the
introduction of manna from heaven.
Westward, I expect the eastern half of Wyo to be nuked away (along with my
uncles' cattle ranch and a cousin) by any foreign attack because of all the missile silos
in that part of the country. Probably will be rather inimical to the sustenance of
human life there.
Then this idea. Southern Wyoming is especially blessed with vast fossil fuel
reserves. Coal, oil, gas and uranium. (My dad wrote the plan and managed the
reclamation of the last operating uranium mine in the state). There is still some
activity in the energy business in the state but only a pittance now because of worldwide
manipulated economics. Only Texas and Louisiana have close to as much potential in
the lower 48. BUT, any modern mechanized army runs on oil and just as Hitler's army
had to capture the Romanian oilfields in order to keep the armies going into Russia so
would any invader of the western US would need a ready supply-and all those capped wells
and shut down coal mines are still just waiting. Waiting for economic conditions
that will never be again. Thus it is likely that most of that part of the country is
will have a foreign presence based there for its mineral wealth. Sure wouldn't want
to be a slave there!
A more southerly route from Utah would match the Hebrews, originally coming via the
northern Sinai and leaving in a southerly course via the Red Sea. A southerly route,
level latitude with New Jerusalem, is a relatively unpopulated line course (check out a
road and a topo map of it all) and still has many water sources leading the way.
Because of its latitude also, a couple hundred miles south of the Old Oregon Trail, the
weather is somewhat milder and the flora and fauna are likely to be more abundant.
It's not to say that God won't take care of His people, it is to say that it would be
potentially easier along that course. Besides, that's what the prophets have
prophesied anyway, right?
