Thomas Cole, The Course of Empire: Destruction
The states haven’t been sovereign since before the Civil War.
the Centralist power creep post civil war saw to that.
“ Connery”
Is conservative
I will meditate on those verses, but I think you’re right.
As others have pointed out the articles b.s. I would add that it’s theme is Marxist slanderous defeatest tripe.
We are not now or ever havebeen an empire.
We are a republic.
The Roman republic lasted from
509 B.C. to 27 B.C. .
Roughly 482 years.
So the article headline failed on all points.
Ymmv
Jmho
“We were no ‘empire’ before WWII was won.”
Once we took Hawaii and the Philippines and Puerto Rico we became an empire. American Samoa? really?
When we declared our independence, the empire was ended.
I stand correted.
I read headline only.
That being confessed.,,,
Our Republic is too far gone im afraid.
Not saying we shouldnt resist evil as long as possible, just that I think we are at the end game.
We are not going to change end time prophecy
They mean to lop off our heads this time, instead of ovens , if we dont go along with their beastly program.
Satan will have his seven years and there is no way we are going to stop that.
The 4 horseman are at the starting gate and you can see them from here.
.
I read the headline fast and thought it said “Umpires.”
And I thought: well, baseball is always doing its best to improve officiating.....
WE were not an empire until 1848—so we have a lot of time. Before that we were a little jerkwater country under England’s protective wing.
I’m sure many people are, and that’s probably the only reason why the USA hasn’t already been destroyed.
It’s a Republic, if you can keep it.
Hope we can make it 4 more years
RE: Not sure where this person got this bit of information but it is very very wrong.
Ok, what’s the right average?
Our collapse was planned and orchestrated. It has been in the works for many years by dark forces.
The empire started in 1861. Lincoln was the first emperor of the USA.
Quote
I give the US about 10 years or less.
Tom,that would be about 2,000 years since His Death, Burial and Resurrection..
About 2,000 is used as a distance of cubits Israel was kept from the Ark, in the Old Testament, and a number of demon possessed swine, in the New Testament..
Maybe the bible predicted about 2,000 years of really dark times where demons are leading..
And given that America began with 13 colonies, like Christ began with Him and His 12 Disciples..
And America grew to 50 states, as the Church grew at 50 day, Pentecost..
America’s future is following the rest of the world, and the church..
Now those in the church could pause and wonder where it is within the last 2,000 years..
The same place America finds itself..
Satan influenced..
That’s if the Church has eyes to see and ears to hear..
As some wit said, the Holy Roman Empire was none of those things.
But using the concept of a country that expanding by taking over other organized nation states, around 400 years.
And the US did not take over an organized nation state until the Spanish American war.
Technically you could say that the only organized nation state the US annexed was Hawaii. That would be 1898.
The "no empire lasts over 200 (now apparently 250) years" is based on a fabricated quote by a Scottish professor.
So both of the statements in the title are false.
Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
And every single person that ate carrots in 1893 is dead today! Think about THAT! Oh the humanity! This is the worst catastrophe in world history!” “Can’t you see the sky is falling?”
Go find a corner to sit in and suck your thumb while actual Americas do the fighting for you.
