The Decline of A Nation

Jeremiah 51:44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his
mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any
more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

By
Mark A. Hawkins
 The rise and fall of nations has been an ongoing cycle since the beginning
of time. History has shown us that past civilizations have enjoyed the best of times and
the worst of times. History has also shown us that the majority of nations do not
survive past 200 hundred years. The cause of this phenomenon has been related to four
common issues: politics, economics, social beatitudes, and moral decay. Knowing the
statistics and observing such events, one would think that a logical conclusion would be
to redirect and modify a better way of living, so that the history of self destruction will
not continuously repeat itself. In order for our society to thrive successfully toward the
pursuit of happiness, a foundation of family values and moral principles must take
precedence over cravings for physical pleasure, cravings for everything that we see, and
taking foolish pride in our personal achievements and possessions.

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

In the beginning a solid foundation was laid and made perfect with the first
family of this planet. In the story of creation we are given an account of the first
family’s commission and purpose. We are to learn from this that the husband is the
priest, provider and protector of his family. This particular precept ordains the man to
become the head and the foundation of his family. This is also an example of a divine
order and protocol to be able to combat the world system from illegally foreclosing on

the family’s past, present, and future endeavors in life. When the husband is walking in
agreement and awareness to his spiritual roots, purpose and design, his wife and his
children will inadvertently practice and sustain the same attributes of love, peace, self-
control, kindness and faith. It is imperative to note that if the implementation of this
type of lifestyle takes place it will no doubt serve as a template for surrounding
communities, towns, cities and states to be able to increase in love for each other while
simultaneously creating a fair and balance system of justice and honor. It is only when
these simple concepts and principles are ignored that a flood of worldly contentions are
deployed to aggravate the moral and spiritual development of our lively hood by first
targeting the husband. Once the husband is infected an upward spiral begins to take
place continuing with the wife, the children, the community, the city, the state, the
nation, and finally the entire planet will be fueled and ruled by evil spiritual
wickedness in high places. Once this payload has been signed, sealed and delivered to
its intended targets, the plagues of human idealogy and idolatry begins to manifest into
spiritual wickedness, prejudices and perversions.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places

 The man made religion of capitalism only exists because of the love of money,
uncontrollable greed, and the fear of poverty. Racism exists and thrives because every
culture and race has ignored the original family structure and has instead perceived
their own belief system that is plagued by humanism, democracy and the unseen evil
principalities abiding in this world that teaches us that division and pride is a tool for
strength, power, and status. When the “ism-meter” reaches its most profound point of
no return, the decline of the nation will begin to stumble and fall.

World history and Bible “stories” have all concluded, tested, and proven, that
once the family unit begins to chip away at its spiritual values and moral conduct, the
future of a that civilization will end in annihilation.

The majority of philosophers both past and present have all agreed that we as
intelligent beings do not learn from our past. George Santayana said that “those who
forget the past are condemned to repeat it.” Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel said,
“What experience and history teach us is this: that people and government never have
learned anything from history or acted on principles deduced from it.” Winston
Churchill was also noted for saying, “The one thing we have learned from history is
that we don’t learn from history.”

It is unfortunate that we as a people of a supposedly great nation have alluded to

the fact that we are invincible and unconquerable, because of our current world status.
We have been desensitized and deceived by adopting barbarism and human wisdom
over Kingdom concepts. We have allowed the entity of systematic worldly ideas to
redirect our pathway from the simple prime moral directive, which is to subdue,
cultivate, replenish and have dominion over the Earth and not each other. Instead of
adhering to this mandate, we have convinced ourselves that it is better to invest in
selfish greed, securities, savings, and warfare. For almost 8000 years, man has tried to
accomplish a state of perfection. It is time for all conscience beings to understand that
religion, politics, world philosophy and the absence of moral value will not be enough

to safeguard our current state of affairs or near future investments. As surely as we are
born into this world, we will die in this world. Likewise unto all nations this is also the
same prophetic truth.

The demise of past nations and nations on the current path, have all followed the
same pattern as noted by world historians and biblical documentations. The first stage
is a move from slavery to spiritual faith. The second stage is a move from spiritual faith
to great courage. The third stage is a move from great courage to liberty. The fourth
stage is a move from liberty to abundance. The fifth stage is a move from abundance to
selfishness. The sixth stage is a move from selfishness to complacency. The seventh
stage is a move from complacency to apathy. The eight stage is a move from apathy to
moral decay. The ninth stage moves from moral decay to dependency. The final stage
moves from dependency back to bondage. Every great civilization from Eden to our
precious good old U. S. of A., have perpetuated this visicous cycle of depletion and
deterioration. The snowball effect is easily recognized when we start seeing the initial
effect of the family resources territory diminishing which will ultimately lead to the
backsliding state of moral values, precepts and concepts. Finally we will see the
recession of spiritual implications. We must remind ourselves that the integrity of our
nation’s template is dependent upon the solid foundation of our family core values and
structure.

Although there are many factors concerning the decline of nations, family values
seem to have caused the most destructive circumstances. It is the perception of the
world system that has become the crucial agent in the breakdown of the family model.
The descent of the family begins when we start to reject biblical truths and biblical
absolutes, for the false doctrines of philosophers and humanist. Among such
contributors to this kind of intellect are Charles Darwin and Karl Marx. These two
gentlemen along with their counterparts have effectively planted seeds of deception,
antagonism, communism, and anti-supernaturalism. The theories of Darwinism and
Karl Marx have all yielded repercussions and consequences that can be felt up to this
very day can be recognized around the world on a daily basis.

 It is important to recognize that the decay of spiritual values and moral
principles has been a common denominator for all nations and civilizations that have
declined and returned to the dust. Our very own nation was born because of spiritual
revivals initiated by our forefathers, in an attempt to escape religious oppression from
the “pharaohs” of England and the Roman Catholic Church. Once our government
became established in the idea of separation of church and state, the downward spiral
of religious criteria began. To understand this concept you must understand the
difference between a church and a religion.

Religion is a man-made organization or enterprise that interprets doctrinal

beliefs to place emphasis on external distinctions, personal rights and also focuses on
self created offices to acquire a social status to lord over others to satisfy their
perception of righteousness. However the Church is an institutional organization that
is put in place by a supreme deity that focuses on educating the people with Kingdom
ideas, concepts, principles, and enhancing relationships along with application to learn
and secure the original mandate for man who is to subdue, cultivate, replenish,
multiply and have dominion over every system in the Earth. Due to the bitterness and
self will of our early forefathers of this nation, they made sure that the purpose, power
and knowledge of the original mandate for the Church became compromised, by
allowing the ignorance and the diversity of the freedom of religion act to have
precedence over a divine institute. Once this republic had successfully pulled the wool
over their eyes the idolatry began and the formula for self destruction was put into
action.

Biblical history reminds us repeatedly how nations were destroyed due to man
given their allegiance and desires over to materials in creation rather than putting their
trust and hope in the Creator. America has been practicing idolatry for a long time by
placing value and allegiance in inanimate objects such as money, the American flag,
and the Statue of Liberty. No longer does America trust God or give Him reverence,
despite having the engraving hypocrisy of “In God We Trust” motto on its currency.
We rather as a nation pledge our allegiance to the flag, rather than the Supreme Being.

All of our current freedoms are designed by the world system to provide us with a road
map to self destruction which will give birth to anarchy, sexual perversion, economic
greed and false religions.

Jeremiah 25:32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from
nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

It is true that we may have all arrived to this country on different ships, but we
need to recognize that we are all in the same boat now. The political, economic, and
social problems we encounter today are the symptoms of a spiritual deterioration in our
homes, communities and workplaces. We have allowed our own constitution to
become a tool of misguided interpretations, perceptions and manipulations that has
relunctantly set us on a pathway of self annihaltion. Our greatest enemy is not another
country, nation or beings from another planet. Our greatest enemy is ourselves. The
fate of this great nation has already been declared, decreed and recorded in history
books and in biblical history and prophecy. Nevertheless, there is a conciliation that

7|Page
will ratify our current state of emergency. Love thy neighbor as you love yourself.
Implementating this concept will put an end to all manners fear and ignorance.

Matthew 23:33

[Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation
of hell?
