Civilizations

[HisKid1973]

For a change in thread subjects. In the way civilizations rise and fall by the internally crashing, do you think the US has gone past the point of no return.. I mean this in the way of rejecting God as a nation. With all the kicking God out of everything and the loss of the value of life with all the abortions.. Personally my thoughts is that we are on a very slippery slope..In Christ..kim

The moment a country rises to ultimate power and domination they're on a slippery slope. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The moment Power comes into the picture you can kiss that nation goodbye.
So yes I think the good ol' U.S. Of A. is on a slippery slope and has been for awhile, slowly at first, but things escalate and the spiral steepens, and the country goes faster.
Slainte!

The United States of America is one of the lost tribes? You're gonna have to explain that one to me.

 

[eoe]

Yes Carey, please exaplin how the USA is a lost tribe.

 

[XtianAgain]

I'm not sure it's the end times. Because Jesus said no man will know. It is definitely a bad time for the U.S.A. though. We're a nation becoming more and more removed from God. Nowadays it's hard to think of a nation with strong Christian values.

 

[Jipsah]

do you think the US has gone past the point of no return.

As you've noted, empires rise, and once risen, inevitably fall. The US is no exception. Like all other empires, it will fall. The only question is when.

I mean this in the way of rejecting God as a nation.

All "nations" reject God, being of this world. Only individual human beings can come to the Lord.

 

[Jipsah]

Agreed it is the endtimes and we one of the lost tribes of Judea USA will suffer the same conseguences as will Isarel as prophecied.

Too many Americans think that the end of the US is synonymous with the end of the the world. It isn't. There's are billions of people across this planet who couldn't possibly care less whether the US stands or falls, and the world will spin merrily on, with the US or without it, until our Lord comes.

per the OP:

The USA was built on sand to begin with, but the piety of the common man made it great--now that mass communications have blasted the common man with the errors that were formerly only bantered about by the eiltes,--not to mention authority being centralized in the higher-ups and in the bureaus rather than the local legislatures, the nation is going downhill --the commn man has been hurt and his power has been taken away.

The Assyrians took the 10-tribes northern "House of Israel" captive and deposited them in the region of the Caucasus mountains. However God had previously prophesied through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David etc what would become of them in "the last days" (Gen.49, Deut.33 etc). Basically they would lose their identity, name, language etc but, as with birthmarks, be identified through these prophecies.

The short answer is that they are the Angles (from the Hebrew word Aenglae=bull, the tribal symbol of Ephraim), Saxons (name derives from Isaac's sons), Celts/Cymri, Danes (of Dan) etc who settled in NW Europe and Britain (from Herbrew Berith-ain meaning covenant land), from wherer they became a "Great nation (USA) and a "company of nations" (the Commonwealth) identiofied with the Lion & The Unicorn and having the Throne of David ruling over them.

It's no co-incidence these people are "Caucasian".

2Sam. 7:10: Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime

Uhmmm...you do know that is compleatly wrong, right?

It's a waste of time you saying anything if you can't give evidence from scripture or history against what I said.

Please don't just post a web-page that attacks straw-men, address what I actually said.

What evidence would you accept? Isn't this is a faith issue with you not a scientific one?

Please don't just post a web-page that attacks straw-men, address what I actually said.

...uhmmm isn't that what you did? You posted a website and never offered proof. I might point out that since you made the claim it really is up to you to prove it.

I think that we have begun to slide down the slope.

You don't understand "faith". God never asks anyone to believe him without first providing proof of what he can do. Similarly I have no right to doubt without contrary evidence, what do you base your doubt on ?

...uhmmm isn't that what you did? You posted a website and never offered proof.

You obviously don't understand proof, or at least evidence - which is what the website detailed.

 

[tulc]

As long as your believing this doesn't make you somehow "superior" to others? Believe what you will.
...and it is a matter of faith, not science.

I did find this in wiki, make of it what you will.

The term "Anglo-Saxon" is from latin writings going back to the time of King Alfred the Great, who seems to have frequently used the title rex Anglorum Saxonum or rex Angul-Saxonum.
Bede, writing in the early 8th century in his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, (I.15) suggests that:

• the people of the more northern kingdoms (East Anglia, Mercia, Northumbria) belonged to the Angles, who derive their name from the peninsula of Angeln in Schleswig-Holstein (Germany).
• those of Essex, Sussex and Wessex were sprung from the Saxons, who came from the region of Old Saxony.
• those of Kent and southern Hampshire were from the tribe of the Jutes.

Other early writers do not bear out consistent distinctions, though in custom the Kingdom of Kent presents the most remarkable contrasts with the other kingdoms. West Saxon writers regularly speak of their own nation as a part of the Angelcyn and of their language as Englisc, while the West Saxon royal family claimed to be of the same stock as that of Bernicia in the north. On the other hand, it is by no means impossible that the distinction drawn by Bede was based solely on names such as Essex (East Saxons) and East Anglia (East Angles). That Bede could envisage one English people (gentis Anglorum) at least demonstrates that the Anglo-Saxons could be thought of in such terms in the 8th century. They also were natives to the Saylor family. The term Angli Saxones seems to have first come into use by Latin writers on the continent, nearly a century before Alfred's time, in the writings of Paul the Deacon, historian of the Lombards. There can be little doubt, however, that there it was used to distinguish the inhabitants of Britain from the Old Saxons of the continent. That is, it meant "English Saxons"; however, in later times it was commonly understood as a combined form "Angles and Saxons".
