America Is Being Sabotaged and Judged

To many observers, our Southern border policy is wrong-headed, our Afghanistan withdrawal was a fiasco, and the Democrat Party’s $3.5 trillion, 2500 page budget is egregiously unwise as well as too long and obscure.  Nick Miroff reported in the Texas Tribune that one frustrated ICE official said that “they are abolishing ICE without abolishing ICE.”1  Further, the statements of our top generals and of the President are riddled with lies and evasions about Afghanistan.  
 
The citizen may get the impression from the above lies, mistakes, and equivocations that the Democrat Party in Congress and the Executive Branch are unwise, incompetent, or excessively ideological. However, this writer believes it would be more accurate to say that the intent of the majority party and of our President is to sabotage the USA by destroying our stability and economic viability and weakening our military to the point that it becomes ineffectual.

The disrupted lives of the citizens will breed fear, mutual distrust (breakdown of community – already begun with remote learning and remote workplaces), and a vulnerability that makes our society more susceptible to tyrannical rule.  Freedom will be increasingly suppressed, and in many areas of the country it seems likely that martial law will be invoked.

This picture of the purposeful decline of the USA is depicted in the New Testament as the fall of Babylon.  “Babylon” is a symbol of a great society, or a powerful nation or consortium of nations, or of an empire that collapses as part of the judgment of God because of its wickedness.  It does not have to be a one-time event.  The fall of Rome in the 5th century was a fall of Babylon. The Spanish Empire was extensive, but after the Spanish fleet was destroyed in the 16th century as it mobilized to attack Gt. Britain, the glory of Spain throughout the world began to fade.  The British Empire was extensive in the 17th through the 20th centuries, only to collapse gradually in North America, Africa, India, China, and only the “Commonwealth” remained as a relic of the extended power that once was held by Gt. Britain. 

America is the latest Babylon attempting to be protector of the entire world and by our marketing, military might, and commercial genius to dominate the world. Yet, this article would proclaim that the time of our diminishment and destruction as a modern Babylon has come.  The leaders of our country are literally dismantling the country expressing God’s judgment against us for the garbage path of unrighteousness we are on.  We are not merely seeing some unwise policies being implemented or advanced.  We are imploding.

What are some indications that America is a Babylon and that we are falling?
1)Fornication – “For all the countries have drunk of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” (Revelation 8:3) Endless deal making and subversion of ethical principles have marked the life of our country during the past 50 years.  The Peoples’ Republic of China was allowed to join the World Trade Organization in the 1990’s despite China’s criminal and perverse adherence to communism. China’s admission to the WTO was to allow multinational companies and U.S. companies to take advantage of China’s cheap labor for purposes of manufacturing and also to have access to the China’s large national markets.  The fundamental value differences between China’s communism and American free market and constitutional liberalism were set aside for the so-called win-win economic potential of dealing with them despite fundamental cultural and value differences.  This writer is labelling this uniting around economic goals “economic fornication.”

2) Hubris and Self-Glorification –“In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart ‘I sit as queen and am no widow and will not see the sorrow’.” (Revelation 8:7). Here we see the greed and arrogance of American self-indulgence.  Women are killing their unborn children because they want to avoid the economic burdens of raising a child or will have less time to enjoy their lives.  Their own precious children are paying with their lives for the so-called “unwanted pregnancies.  Sixty million dead is bringing the wrath of Almighty God on this country.

3) A Fiery Demise – “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her when they see the smoke of her burning.” (Revelation 9:1) The New Testament is clear…there will be many signs of Babylon’s demise, but the coup de grâce will be a burning, a hellish event that will be the culmination of the projected decline.  Our present leadership’s poor administration is bringing about a radical decline in the order of society, of our wealth, and our moral stability, and the consequences of this sabotage will produce the desired dramatic decline with resultant increase in tyranny. But judgment will not stop there. Revelation tells us to anticipate a fiery event so dramatic and so uniquely destructive that Babylon, already brought to its knees, will never be able to recover.  Perhaps this will be a nuclear event that will seal the permanent non-recovery of our declining society?

We can only pray for mercy in the midst of this socio-political debacle, and show compassion for our fellow suffering citizens as we find ourselves sinking into oblivion.
