No doubt you have heard that the United States is celebrating 250 years of our nationhood. That is a great accomplishment. This nation has endured and survived a lot during those 250 years. A revolutionary war to win our independence. A civil war. Two world wars. Other wars helping other nations. Multiple wars on terror. An attack on Pearl Harbor and on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. We survived a great depression, multiple down turns in the economy, the assassination of presidents, and other influential leaders.
In comparison to other countries, we are but a toddler. China has existed for 5,000 years and the ancient roots of Israel goes back 3,000 years. We are still wet behind the ears as a nation. Even the Roman Empire lasted 2,779 years. I contemplated all this and then I considered the fall of the Roman Empire. What contributed to their fall?
Rome faced economic crisis largely related to financing continuous wars which drained the treasury. Our Secretary of War just asked congress for $80 billion to finance the Iran War. Couple that with the billions spent on the Ukraine War and actions taken in Venezuela and Cuba, and you wonder if we are not headed down the same path. Rome also had an instable government ripe with corruption. They had 20 different emperors over the span of 75 years. Some were assassinated. Others were weak. Those emperors reigned on average 3.75 years. You see the presidential election cycles of the past nine years. Our own government is filled with fraud and corruption. Rome also faced division as the empire was too large to govern efficiently. The United States is divided politically, racially, philosophically, and morally in ways I've never seen before. There was also morale decay rampant in Rome just like in the United States. Enemies invaded Rome helping to bring it down. We have tens of millions in this country illegally who have not been vetted. Some came here will ill motives. America must return to God.
I love our country, but I'm concerned. We have turned so far from God. The vast majority seem unwilling and uninterested in repentance. Without God's protection and help we are a doomed nation. We may celebrate 250 years, but I find it hard to believe that 250 years from now America will celebrate 500. It most likely is a mute point. The Second Coming of Jesus is imminent in my belief.
I am sure we will hear the songs God Bless America and God Bless the USA many times over the next week. How can God bless a nation that has forsaken Him. A nation that has allowed the murder of millions of babies through abortions. Sanctioned homosexual marriage. Allow murders and rapist to go free after committing these horrible crimes. How can God bless a nation that allows children to be mutilated in transgendered surgeries, grooms little ones in libraries with sexually deviant people, allows children to be sex trafficked and the guilty not to be held accountable to walk free to continue their pedophilia activities. This nation bows in worship to the gods of sex, sports, and satanic influenced entertainment. We are heading toward a collision of judgment with God. He did not spare His covenant people Israel. I do not believe He will spare us after all He done for us. I cannot sing God bless America. I do hope and pray God will have mercy on us and that His kindness will lead us to repentance as a nation before it is too late.
