Donald Trump, Tiberius Gracchus, And America’s Imminent End: In 100 years, Rome went from a republic to a dictatorship. The same trajectory is playing out in America, only much faster

Donald Trump’s indictment makes one wonder if the members of the Democrat party have ever picked up a history book, walked by one in a library, or accidentally heard an episode of the History of Rome podcast. I doubt it because if they had, they’d know that Rome didn’t transition from a republic to an empire overnight, and they’d be familiar with the modern iteration of the George Santayana adage: Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.

By the time Caesar became dictator in 49 BC, the Republic was already gone in everything but name only. The Republic’s collapse had been put in motion 80 years before with the murder of Tiberius Gracchus.

Gracchus was a populist Plebeian tribune, essentially the equivalent of being a member of our House of Representatives. Citizens loved him, and the aristocratic Senate hated him. His assassination points the way to Caesar:

[T]he oligarchy had introduced violence into the political system with the murder of Tiberius Gracchus and over the years the use of violence became increasingly acceptable as various political disputes in Rome led to more and more bloody discord.

With Gracchus’s death, violence became an increasingly common political weapon in Rome, with Sulla’s purges early in the 1st century BC as the clearest example. Sulla executed 9,000 rival Marian partisan supporters, without regard for age or sex.

Three decades later, Caesar would take control, only to lose his life at the hands of a cabal of his establishment rivals. This widespread political violence only came to an end (temporary as it might be) when his adopted son, Augustus, become emperor. Tellingly, however, Augustus achieved that peace only after executing thousands of his political enemies.

Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
..

America began with 13 Colonies, as Christ began with Him and His 12.

America grew to 50 states, as the New Covenant Church grew at 50.

It appears America has the New Covenant Church as its foundation.

A very unique nation.

The bible shows that both the shepherd and priest staffs of Moses and Aaron transformed into serpents to help cause Israel to believe.
The Disciples in Mark were told to carry the staffs. That’s the ultimate role of the Church- to lead and minister.

America and the New Covenant Church may have to have their tails grabbed to rid them of their serpent problems, if history is going to repeat itself.

Both Peter and Judas, the first and last disciples were either called Satan, or had Satan enter them.
And it was Divine Providence as He chose the 12 and one was a devil.

America and the New Covenant Church could learn their past, present and future, from the bible..
They were going to lead.
They were going to be serpent led for a time.

Doomed to repeat it wouldn’t be the phrase, though.

Ordained to follow it.

Divine Providence

For His Purposes and His Glory

Btw,It could go south really fast too.
Like with Israel.
DC and its 50, with Elijah calling down fire on them.

And the Whore riding a Beast.
Doesn’t end well for her or the Beast

It could go that way too.

For America and the Church

Let’s hope for Israel’s sake, the serpent transforms back to a proper staff, for leading and ministering.
And America and the New Covenant Church can return to law and order and Justice.

The lawlessness, disorder, and Just Us is Satan’s influence..

So goes the Church, so goes America.
So goes America, so goes the Church.
