The Downfall of America and the Reasons Why It Shall Collapse -- PART ONE

America, once the land of the free and home of the brave, is no longer so free, nor so brave. What had once thrived as a superpower is now declining economically, militarily, and spiritually. It had welcomed the poor and hungry and had been a beacon of hope to the masses of poor immigrants that came to its door.

The Downfall of America and the Reasons Why It Shall Collapse

America, once the land of the free and home of the brave, is no longer so free, nor so brave. What had once thrived as a superpower is now declining economically, militarily, and spiritually. It had welcomed the poor and hungry and had been a beacon of hope to the masses of poor immigrants that came to its door.

Today, America has changed. It is no longer the powerful nation it had once been. It is in debt trillions of dollars, borrowed from countries such as China. Instead of being a beacon of hope, it has become very dark and full of great spiritual depravity. You may know America is getting darker, but for the sake of exposing the truth, we will look at how dark America really is getting. We will see how such a nation cannot endure much longer, having had the spiritual knowledge it once had.

America and the 19^th Century

(Sioux in traditional dress)

As America expanded westward, it met resistance from the original inhabitants of America, the Native Americans. Did America work with them and settle in land the Native Americans willingly give them? Did they buy the land from the Natives? The Federal Government forcibly moved Native Americans from their own land and put them on reservations where they were often bordering enemy tribes.  Some of the Native American tribes were given land that was arid and bad for planting.

Under of Dawes Act of 1887, Native American tribal land was taken away from the tribes and much of it given to settlers. Land was then allotted to individual “Indians.” While it was meant to help prepare the Native Americans for citizenship, it took away their hunting rights and reduced their reservation land. The best land was often given to white settlers (a) (See Works Cited). This is identical to stealing. America had broken one of the Ten Commandments in its treatment of the Indians: “Thou shalt not steal.” (Exodus 20:15).

They also broke the sixth commandment: “Thou shalt not kill.” (Exodus 20:13). During the “Wounded Knee Massacre” a single gunshot sparked a blood bath that resulted in Native American men, women, and children being murdered. The tensions between the U.S. Army of 1890 and the Sioux tribe came to a head at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The Sioux tribe had been fighting the U.S. Army for decades, on and off, and tensions were high. When some members of the 7^th cavalry came to confiscate weapons in an Indian encampment under the leadership of a Sioux called “Big Foot”. They had misunderstood Big Foot’s intentions and thought he was a threat. The camp was surrounded by Hotchkiss guns and 500 soldiers (b).

One of the Indians, Black Coyote, refused to give up his rife. Soldiers began roughing him up and insisting that he give up the gun. Somewhere a shot rang out. The Hotchkiss guns began firing, and in the chaos, many innocent children, women, and men were murdered. This would mark the end of the “Indian Wars” and the further decline of the Native Americans’ way of life (b).

Legalizing Murder

Today, killing is legalized. How so, one may ask? When the human life has been redefined so that a baby is called a “fetus” and so that killing that innocent baby is termed “abortion”, this breaking of God’s law is rationalized as simply getting rid of something unwanted.

Since abortion was legalized in 1973, there have been over 55 million abortions in the United States (c). Each year approximately 1.2 to 1.3 million babies are killed by abortion (Foust).  That number is roughly equal to the 1.2 million U.S. soldiers that have died since the American Revolutionary War (including all the wars up to the recent Iraq War) (d).

The process of abortion is very gruesome and bloody and the child has to suffer great pain. It is absolutely horrible and yet it is accepted as being normal and okay. A society that doesn’t think much of human life cannot last long.

Because the Ten Commandments are a thought of as a threat to society, they have been removed from many courthouses, city halls, and public places. In August this year (2014), a judge in New Mexico ruled that the Ten Commandments display at the Bloomfield City Hall must be removed (e).  

The Influence of the Occult (Magic) and Satanism

While the Ten Commandments are being removed, a statue to honor Satan is currently being constructed to be placed at the Oklahoma State House beside a donated Ten Commandments monument. While a legal battle is being fought, it is very clear that the worship of the devil is becoming more popular. This is only a sign that evil is becoming more blatant.

If one only looks at the movies and TV shows designed for kids one can see the influence of witchcraft and the occult. Harry Potter, a best-selling series that became a highly-popular Hollywood franchise, has been endorsed by “Christians.”

A Christianity Today article from the year 2000 stated (f):

(Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

'But the literary witchcraft of the Harry Potter series has almost no resemblance to the I-am-God mumbo jumbo of Wiccan circles. Author J.K. Rowling has created a world with real good and evil, and Harry is definitely on the side of light fighting the "dark powers."

'Third, and this is why we recommend the books, Rowling's series is a Book of Virtues with a preadolescent funny bone. Amid the laugh-out-loud scenes are wonderful examples of compassion, loyalty, courage, friendship, and even self-sacrifice. No wonder young readers want to be like these believable characters. That is a Christmas present we can be grateful for.'

(Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Source.)

The late David J. Meyer, a former witch who left witchcraft to become a follower of Jesus Christ, wrote that “Harry Potter books are training manuals for the occult.” (g). Meyer explains (g):

'Harry also learns a new vocabulary, including words such as "Azkaban", "Circe", "Draco", "Erised", "Hermes", and "Slytherin"; all of which are names of real devils or demons. These are not characters of fiction!

'How serious is this? By reading these materials, many millions of young people are learning how to work with demon spirits. They are getting to know them by name. Vast numbers of children professing to be Christians are also filling their hearts and minds, while willingly ignorant parents look the other way.'

Eastern Meditation and Deception and Heresy in the “Church”

Harry Potter is just one example of how the occult and witchcraft have crept into the Church to lead astray children and their parents.  Eastern meditation has been given the name “contemplative prayer” or “centering prayer” or “breath prayers” by evangelical “Christians” and is becoming popular in many American churches.
