What Will Happen to the USA?
This morning in my Bible reading I came to a passage that has intrigued me since I first noticed it. It tells about how God brought Egypt down, then, He restored them, but He will never allow them to become a major power in the world again. All of this coming after Egypt had been the most powerful country in the world for many years.
I will bring back the captives of Egypt and cause them to return to the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin, and there they shall be a lowly kingdom. It shall be the lowliest of kingdoms; it shall never again exalt itself above the nations, for I will diminish them so that they will not rule over the nations any more. Ezekiel 29:14,15
This passage is even more important when we consider the USA. Is the USA declining and why? Will we be restored or not? I believe we need to understand that God is the One who exalts nations and diminishes them. If we are to be exalted, He will do it. If we we are being diminished, He is the reason.
Think of Israel. They were never a super power, except maybe under Solomon when God caused them to be so wealthy. However, after over 1,000 years of not being a country, God restored Israel in 1948. Now, they are one of the most powerful countries in the world militarily. Why did that happen? It is not just because the USA has helped them. It is God's blessing, so Israel will be here when He draws time on earth to a close. This is all according to His Word.
Therefore, if we want America to be in an exalted position in the world, we must cry out to God and repent of our sins. If not, He can bring us very low and keep us there for a long time, just like He has done to Egypt.
Tomorrow, I intend to read Ezekiel 31-34.
