This article will look at three causes of the Roman Empire’s collapse, and see the extent to which its defects can be applied to the decline of the USA as the leading world power. While the influence of the USA cannot be considered imperial — we technically are not an empire — nonetheless, the terms hegemony, leadership, and dominance in the world system are adjectives that apply to ancient Rome and might well apply to us.

But first, a word from our sponsor.
Deut 14:2: For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
But that special relationship was always conditioned upon their obedience to God. In other words, if Israel fell away, God would disown them and take away His gift of the Promised Land. That was God’s repeated warnings to Israel.
1 Kings 9:6-7:But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them: Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
Again, Deut 4:25-26: When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
IMO, this is the same thing happening to us.
Dan 4:17: the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
May the good people who are still in America have the good sense to rally and Revive and recover America from satan and his (liberal/democrat) minions.
Rome destroyed its own currency in its territory. It was unable to pay for a professional army, capable of being supplied with provisions purchased with money. Hyperinflation in the US would have the potential for the destruction of money here.
“freedom of speech is an important right if it is exercised non-violently”
The writer seems to believe that “violent speech” is a real thing. No.
I can only say Amen to that & hope that the good people of America do the Lord’s will & obey Him. So many of the leaders in this present world are only making things so much worse than it needs to be.
Pray the God sends us more harvesters.
Germanic people were embedded in Rome well before the invasions began.
Same thing going on today.
The fall of the USA also closely parallels that of Israel/Judah. They put God in the rear view mirror, never looked backed and were judged accordingly. The same thing will happen here.
.
US began with 13 Colonies, like Christ and His 12.
US grew to 50 states, like the New Covenant Church grew at 50..
The US and the New Covenant church are paralleled..
I doubt the modern Church would like to see it equated to modern USA...
Because if the modern Church is to be equated to the US, the only hope is if the US gets its serpent tail grabbed and transforms back into à nation of law and order instead of lawlessness, and Justice instead of Just Us..
If it doesn’t, it will indeed need to fall.
So goes America, so goes the Church
So goes the Church, so goes America
Agreed.
