Is the history and the
spirit of Rome repeating itself in
twenty first century America?
Rome began as a kingdom around 800
BCE and was then a republic, before becoming an empire. The first Roman Emperor
was Octavius, who took the imperial name Augustus. He became emperor in 31 BCE.
The Roman Empire split into a
Western Roman Empire and an Eastern Roman Empire in 395 CE. The Western Empire
ended in 476 CE. The Eastern Empire, or Byzantine Empire, ended in 1453.
Depending on how you define the
Roman Empire:
- The united empire lasted 426 years
- The Western Empire lasted a further 81 years, for a
total of 507 years
- The Eastern Empire lasted a further 1058 years after
the split, for a total of 1484 years.
History tells us that the Roman Empire had a great fall…. What
do you think Americas history will record if it continues on under the course Obama
and the Democrats have set for it?
After viewing this video maybe it will help you to
recognize the comparison.
Americans have far greater knowledge than the people of
Rome in their day.
What it’s going to take to prevent the great fall of America
is not knowledge but wisdom in the house of our government.
Time is running out for We
the people to sweep the house clean and install men and women of
wisdom to manage our government.
We need to unite now pick up our brooms and shovels and any
other tool that will help us get the job done and do some serious house
cleaning in Washington.
If this is neglected and nothing is done to stop what is
happening in today’s America expect our nation’s great fall coming up soon!
Acts
4: 1-3
New International Version (NIV)
4 The
priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter
and John while they were speaking to the people. 2 They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were
teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
3 They seized Peter and John
and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day.
18 Then they called them in
again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John
replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the
judges! 20 As
for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
21 After further threats they
let them go. They could not decide how to punish them,
