Yes, it is necessary for America to collapse, if it does not repent. You can only violate the natural law as to how God intended man to live only so far before you have run out of ways to avoid consequences.
I really do believe that God is using these moments to make it undebateable as to how we should live, so we will live as we should in eternity.
It hurts like a bugger now and I wish I didn’t have to face the consequences that I did not create, but it is for our own good in the end.
If He hadn’t given us that double-edged sword of ‘Free Will’ and if Eve had behaved herself, we’d all still be living in Paradise.
But, that doesn’t teach anyone anything. ;)
The true CRIME here is how ‘We The People’ have LET Mother Government grow into the monster she is, today. I fear there is no turning back, though we could slow our demise.
Once Mother Government runs out of ‘Other People’s Money’ is when the REAL fun starts. :(
And, in a country as large, diverse, and successful as America, only a small percentage have sufficient honesty, maturity, and humility to make them remotely capable of contrition.
And then there comes the question, to whom should they repent? Many haven't been introduced to God...yet
There’s a line I like, from the movie “Gladiator”: what we do in life echoes in eternity. I wonder how many Americans are aware of that.
Not so subtle tongue-in-cheek.
