THE LAST DAYS OF AMERICA ARE HERE. // The Harmful Effects of Video Game Addiction. // The End Times.

THE LAST DAYS OF AMERICA ARE HERE. // The Harmful Effects of Video Game Addiction. // The End Times.

America is a crumbling superpower. Its glory days are over. Crime has increased to the point where many areas within Chicago and other cities are off limits to most people. Factories nationwide are abandoned and much of Detroit, a former automobile manufacturing capital, is filled with abandoned office buildings and houses.

Video game addiction and other addictions have led to societal problems and divorce. The amount of joblessness is increasing, especially with the rise of robotics and overseas manufacturing. Real unemployment (not the official unemployment) is especially high.

The question is why are all these events transpiring? Why is America no longer as wealthy as it used to be? And, did America rightfully acquire all its territory from Native Americans, or not? Could it be that America's problems are caused by its opposing of the Almighty God, whom the founding fathers claimed to serve?

Is America going to continue much longer? 

Once a nation through which God sent many missionaries into the world and through which God blessed Israel, America has slipped far away from it's Biblical heritage. The Pilgrims and other believers in Jesus came to America's shores for the purpose of religious freedom and to spread the Gospel to the indigenous peoples of North America. These first settlers, for the most part, did not intend to drive the Native Americans off their land. 

However, as more people arrived in the "New World," land more land was purchased from the Native Americans. But, as people grew greedy, ungodly men took it upon themselves to steal land from the Native Americans and mistreat them in other ways too. 

The mistreatment of Native Americans happened at the same time that African slaves were wrongfully brought over to work in plantations. They were mistreated, and the European society, at the time, wrongfully thought of them as "inferior" to other peoples. This lie about "superiority" and "inferiority" led to many ungodly atrocities committed against fellow human beings, who are all created equal by God.

When God saw the wickedness in the hearts of slave traders and in those who "bought" and "sold" these abused people, He pleaded with the abusers to repent from their wickedness. He continued to plead with America for hundreds of years.

Even after the Civil War ended, black people were mistreated and abused up until the Civil Rights movement came in the 1960s. Native Americans were also marginalized and treated poorly following the forced removal of Native Americans from their own lands by the government, which happened up until the 1890s. Indian Appropriation Acts were passed in order to seize Native American lands by force.

Also, during the 1800s, many Native Americans were massacred by wicked men in the U.S. Cavalry, who held grudges against "Indians" for some "Indian" raids against "white settlers," who squatted on Native American land.
