When historians look back at the USA, as we do at the
Roman Empire, what will be the reasons they cite for its demise? Not that it
will fall, but should it fail, what could be the cause or causes?
Due to the influx of foreign immigrants in the last three
years, this may be a reason. Not the law abiding individuals who were truly
seeking freedom from tyranny and looking for a better life, but the criminal
element that has already caused death and pain and suffering to innocent
Americans. In addition to gang members, there have been agents of our enemies
who are here to set up terror cells to cause much destruction.
What about our national sins. The Bible is clear that
judgment will come upon nations that ignore God’s laws. Of course “national
sins” are simply personal sins committed by a large enough number of people to
infect the entire country.
Hate itself is a sin, not just a crime. To hate those who
look different than us, or those that believe differently, or those who vote
differently – it’s all hate, which is revealed in a cancel culture mentality.
Hate ultimately demands the death of the hated; but it also causes the death of
the hater. God’s way is love – to treat others as we would want to be treated.
Jesus said we can love even our enemies.
And there is the mistreatment of unborn babies and
children. It says in Luke 17:2 “It would be better for him if
a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than
that he should offend one of these little ones.” Abortion, gender surgeries on
minors, transgender behavior, and robbing girls of female only sports – the
list goes on and on.
But the fall is not
inevitable. The Bible also tells us the when its citizens repent and turn back
to God; He will forgive and restore that nation to its former glory. The USA
was a glorious, wonderful place to live and raise a family. Let us pray that
it’s not too late!
