They say that the only thing men never learn from history is that men never learn from history. This is so very true. For if you read history, you find that it goes in circles. Things happen over and over again just as they did before. This is why it's so very important to study the past, so you can make sure you don't make the same mistakes as those who lived before you.
However, when it comes to our country of the United States of America, I have to wonder if what's happening is really all by "accident." For it appears that our g'vment is doing the same failed policies that have never worked in the past. Over and over again they do the same thing, and it only makes the economy worse, weakens the dollar, and sinks the country deeper in deep.
It's almost like, um, well, like there's a CONSPIRACY out there to destroy the USA on purpose!
"No," you say, "That couldn't be!"
Really? But couldn't it?
In 1776, the very same year that our great nation declared it's liberty from England, a man named Edward Gibbon published a book entitled, "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire."
In his book, Mr. Gibbon gave the five main reasons for the downfall of Rome. They are as follows, and as you read them, just think to yourself whether or not they correspond to what's happening in America today:
1. The dignity and sanctity of the home was undermined.
2. There was a great increase in taxes in order to pay for the many social programs the g'vment participated in.
3. The people loved entertainment, especially the most violent sports.
4. There was a great buildup of the military for protection, yet it was in a different country, and it did not defend it's own nation.
5. Religion apostasized as it became more tradition than bible teaching, giving rise to formality rather than spirituality.
Does any of these sound a little like what's happened today? Any at all?
I think it does. And I belive that our leaders of today know better. Yet they allow things to get worse rather than better, never desiring to fix things.
Like one famous man said, "Nothing today happens on accident. It's all been planned well in advance."
Could it be that someone has planned the destruction of the United States of America, and has ON PURPORSE gone about destroying the home, religion, the economy, the borders, etc.?
I'm not saying yeah or nay. I'm sure you're smart enough to decide that for yourself.
But the Bible is very clear that there is indeed a spiritual conspiracy against the souls of men, in which Satan desires men to become so decadent that they care not for the things of God. He further seeks to use politics to bring about his own New World Order, in which he will govern for 7 years and demand all men to take the mark of the Beast.
As we look at what's happening in the United States of America, a country that has doubled its debt in only a few years and is almost to the point of bankrupcy, we can clearly see Satan as work.
The only hope for America is Jesus. Even so come Lord Jesus!
