I went to college with a few questions.  One was why do Powerful Nations Fall?   I remember Egypt, Babylon, Media & Persia, Greece, Rome and soon the Nations of Europe.   Total self confidence and lack of God Mindedness.

Egypt has been awesome.  So much of today is based on their work.  Mathematics, Medicine, etc.  However, succeeding nations did not realize that what they were engaging in at their nations's zenith was what made the other disappear.   Egypt was ordered to stop oppressing Israel but they wanted to know" "Who is God"  Moses could not get them the recant.

So, today it is America with all to loose.   What are we doing that did sink other civilizations?  Did EVIL work for the our predacessors?   Did disrespect for fellow human's normal functions destroyed other civilizaitons-Soddom and Gomorrah.  Could we put bull aside and focus on nation building.

I recommend we move back to GOD.  Stop the intellectualizing and simply follow the BOOK;s prescriptions.   Greed, murder, inhumanity, inhuman rights-EVIL will always kill off a nations however powerful.  May we see the roses.
