America's immorality paints a picture of a nation even farther from their Creator than ever. It is only an unfounded rumor, albeit an old one, that the mad Emperor Nero started a fire near the imperial palace and then climbed to the top of the Tower of Maecenas, where he gleefully played his fiddle, sang arias from his own execrable operas, and watched the city go up in flames. First; the violin wasn't even invented until the 16th +century, although in some versions of the tale Nero plays a lute or lyre. One historian claims that Nero really did set the fire himself, but out of civic responsibility rather than insanity, and that in the new Rome which he designed, and intended to name Neropolis, slums were cleared, streets were widened, and buildings were beautified. But; in the end Rome burned! And; now America is burning also, consider Western America for example!
Rome’s Morals or Lack Thereof:
We have heard statements made that the city of Rome was one of the most immoral and wicked cities that ever existed under the Heavens. Rome is the home of popes, archbishops and cardinals; Rome is the home of Roman Catholic officials, and also the home of the profligate and immoral. What did Luther find when he visited Rome that changed his life forever? Corruption! The immorality of the inhabitants of Rome was taught by the Catholic officials of Rome and we can determine that Roman Catholicism was and still is responsible for the immorality found in the city of Rome, and this immorality is not confined alone to the city outside the walls of the Vatican, as this atmosphere of immorality and degradation permeates the very atmosphere of the Vatican, as illegitimacy is found within the walls of the Vatican, as well as without. Martin Luther was overwhelmed by the flagrant corruption he viewed personally in the Priesthood at Rome.
America the Rome Restored?
Americans have been ushering religiosity out of public life for more than forty years, with decisions on religion in public schools leading the way. If we expect America to retain her place among the nations of intelligence and nations of greatness, among nations of goodness and righteousness, we must be character-builders, for without character, without morals, we can never expect to reach any zenith of righteousness required to sustain this nation. And; without moral guidance, individual greatness is impossible! There never has been a nation so completely under the control of Roman structure and beliefs than America today! America is the Roman Empire resurrected.
History Repeats Itself
While it's true that a great deal of America's history has to do with worshipping power and greed, never in modern memory has it been so openly expressed, so contemptuously embraced as it is today. The power struggles are on display every day the Congress and Senate are in order! In any case, the reason I think that America is falling now, is because; in all the annals of world history, no other country has been more prosperous than America, and; lasted as long, while retaining so much corruption within! Soon this will be the doom of this once great country. Corruption, Murder, Immorality, Homosexuality, and Abortions, all trademarks of Rome, and; now America!
Rome’s/America’s Downfall
Are you aware that Rome's downfall was not because of Barbarians, but corruption within? Another important factor that contributed to Rome's downfall was the huge influx of aliens from surrounding countries. Some researchers examine the influence of Rome upon American government and society, and see the pending doom because of the tyrannical system of government that is now in vogue. If we are blind and oblivious to the dictatorship displays of the Senate and Congress, we deserve our end. Never in all the time that America has existed as a country, has power corrupted the leadership more than now! Humility and serving the constituency are relics of the past. Get into a powerful position by any means and stay there as long as you can. There are some dinosaurs in the Senate and Congress that should be evacuated ASAP for the good of America. We need a complete turnover and refreshing of public servants!
Corruption Destroys From Within
As corruption and immorality becomes more and more common among public officials, corruption and immorality has defeated our natural desire to take positive action to defeat the root cause of America’s troubles. Indeed, this corruption has transcended all party lines. Internal and political corruption was the primary contributing factor to Rome's downfall. In terms of corruption, Rome had always been corrupt and that system of governance counted on the higher level or upper echelon leadership for example and guidance! Are we in the same predicament that Rome found itself in? The obvious first step in curbing corruption is to recognize that corruption is destructive and wrong, since it benefits the unscrupulous to the detriment of others. Left unchecked, greed and corruption can ruin America, just as they contributed to the ruination of the Roman Empire. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but; sin is a reproach to any people!
