I just read AFTER ROME by Morgan Llywelyn. She does a real good job describing the state of dependence and inability to function as a civilization when ancient Rome abandoned their British territories. It is a real good read to fill that gap in British history and how it took over a thousand years for recovery.
I have seen this outlined several ways but they all reach the same conclusion we are on this cycle and near its end unless we turn it around. Freegards

So, we’ve turned away from GOD.
Good post. Thank you.
Thankfully we have Trump.
In other words, Make America Great Again. Though I support Cruz, it's a great slogan.
Yes....and may the revivals begin!!!
I’m so ready to hear the Gospel preached on corners again, see tents with too many people gathered to hear and see actual joy, hope, love and peace that is ours, ONLY through living as Jesus showed us....Follow Me!!
11 Chronicles 7:14 works cause God said it does...
Enjoy an extra day of blessings this year!
I studied societal destruction under the foremost expert in that field and this list is pretty good. I’ll just add one thing about how societies get to this point. It’s about women. Women are the transmitters of culture (the ideas that ones society are based on) When women abandon child rearing culture suffers or collapses. The British had it right, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
I had been for Cruz until Trump jumped in back and June. Then I thought a Trump/Cruz ticket would smash the GOP e and the rest of it...but these last few weeks it appears that since Cruz has joined up with Beck he’s gone off the rails. A Trump/Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III ticket would be the cat’s meow!

btw...I still believe America’s real problem is solved spiritually and not politically but politically is how the nation has been set up a nation run by Godly people was the founders dream.
The destruction of our culture and morality continues apace.
A very good and insightful post. Thank you.

We currently have a Pres. who hates Christians and lets that be known on a regular basis. The Uniparty is the same way. If we could have a President who would lift up Christians, talk about persecution and protect the civil rights and dignity of Christians in the public square, it might help for a revival.
This is a good article. Thank you for posting it.
Yes! Eggs-zactly. Michael Brown had a piece in Townhall yesterday where he talked about how many Christians are giving up because we are living in the “end times” and he points out where would the Church be today if the early followers of Jesus stopped preaching and believing in the promises or if John Wesley, or Jonathan Edwards stopped preaching. If Wilberforce and Newton had not worked for the abolition of slavery in England and on and on through history. Amen.
Do we live in “end times” you bet. But end times have been going on for the 2000 years since Pentecost.

Notice the caption below the fall of Jerusalem. The author notes political correctness as a problem, but the caption (possibly not written by the author) notes C.E. instead of the politically incorrect A.D.
“A Trump/Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III ticket would be the cat’s meow!”
With Newt Gingrich as his Chief of Staff
John Bolton as Secretary of State
Christie as A.G. - he will prosecute Hillary. I don’t like Christie for much else, but he is a rabid dog as a prosecutor.
I have, unfortunately, become very disillusioned with Cruz. It seems that Cruz was Establishment all along, and that came out when he said that Rubio would make a better President than Trump. Very, VERY disappointing!
Women, Beauty, Voting and Tyranny!

“I have seen this outlined several ways but they all reach the same conclusion we are on this cycle and near its end unless we turn it around”
Using ___ as an example...Unfortunately, I don’t recall any great civilizations to fill in that blank.
It’s that the crux? A civ. so ‘GREAT’, that it cannot (maybe even WILL not) turn 180, even when faced with its own extinction.
Do we not have that today, here? Oh, they/we all talk (and know) ‘govt is too big’, and we somehow expect the perpetrators (govt) correct itself?
The early Romans booted the Decemviri.
Late 17th century Englishmen didn't stand for tyranny in the form of the late Stuart kings. The Glorious Revolution established the preeminence of parliament and dispelled the Divine Right of Kings.
In both cases, the remedy involved violent uprisings of the people.
We are fortunate to have Article V of the Constitution. We can avoid violence in the reassertion of free government.
