Good point, after all, He used many evil kingdoms to punish His people throughout History.
In our day, he gives us the government we truly want. Way too many Americans today want a nanny state, so God gave us what we want.
Ultimately we will get what we ask for in our hearts.
It can either be Him, or something very bad for us.
That being said, He is not a Socialist, but He will give it to us as punishment I agree. However, only because we ask for it instead of Him.
I would agree for the first 150, 180 years of the US. I fear if He hasn't already switched to punishment mode it is imminent.
I have a theory that in America God is showing the absolute best man can do for himself. And even that comes up way way short.
Yep, his people demanded a king so they’d be “just like everyone else!”
