Russia pushes for more power

The key to the immediate crisis is the U.S. nuclear umbrella and the perception of American power to hold together the present world order. If American influence and power retreats, the resultant vacuum would encourage further nuclear proliferation and threaten international security.

Many nations already see American military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq as a window of opportunity to flex their muscles and political will. This is what North Korea has done in recent months.

Russia is doing the same in blockading air, rail, sea and postal services to the Republic of Georgia (a U.S. ally) over a series of espionage allegations. While seemingly insignificant, it illustrates Russian boldness in the face of American preoccupation in Iraq . Russia feels it can move at will to secure its own interests, even when they conflict with those of the United States. The net effect is a weakening of American power.

Add to this the prospect of President George W. Bush becoming hamstrung by Democrats, who in November won control of both houses of Congress. They could block the president's foreign policy goals through their budgetary control. Seeing this, other nations would have a green light to push their agendas in critical regions of the world.

Are we seeing a decline in American power around the world? What is the solution? Will changing the political leadership alter the fortunes of the nation?
Sadly, the answer is no. The problems are spiritual in nature, requiring a radical departure from the nation's current moral course. Without it, this trend of shifting world power will continue.
The result will be a far different world from the one you and I have come to know.

Are we witnessing a major change in history?

North Korea's nuclear bomb blast means the world situation is heating up. We are living in momentous times. Other nations see gray hairs on the American empire and are relentlessly moving to change the course of modern history.

Bible prophecy shows a coming time of trial for America, Great Britain and other English-speaking nations who have received great material blessings. The national sin of ingratitude has led our peoples to forget that the God of Abraham has provided us the physical blessings we enjoy. America has a veneer of spirituality, but God's Word tells us that is not enough to merit continued protection and blessing.

For too long America has held the view that its exceptional position in the world is the result of its democratic form of capitalism alone.
For too long America has worn its brand of spirituality like a protective blanket of security, yet it leads the world in exporting immorality via various media forms.
For too long America has forgotten that God is the source of its national blessings. He will ultimately call it to account for its sins.
The words of Jeremiah, God's prophet to the biblical kingdom of Judah in its final days, apply to the scene before us today: "'Your own wickedness will correct you, and your backslidings will rebuke you. Know therefore and see that it is an evil and bitter thing that you have forsaken the Lord your God, and the fear of Me is not in you,' says the Lord God of hosts" (Jeremiah 2:19, emphasis added throughout).

Following a path to destruction?

Like doomed Judah, America trusts in a hollow spiritual veneer that ignores God's law, which is the basis of true spirituality. Failing to embrace it will surely bring on God's judgment.

Jeremiah stood in front of the Jerusalem temple, the symbol of Judah's religious life, and warned the people not to trust in tradition of the past for their immediate physical safety. "Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Do not trust in these lying words, saying, "The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are these [that is, relying on the presence of the temple and its rituals to ensure their protection].

"'For if you [instead] thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor, if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your hurt, then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.

"'Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know, and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, "We are delivered to do all these abominations"? Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,' says the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:3-11).

God foretold the collapse of their world order unless they repented and changed. "Therefore thus says the Lord God: 'Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place—on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched'" (Jeremiah 7:20).

America, Great Britain and other Western nations are walking the same path ancient Israel and Judah did. We are watching the beginning phases of a sea change on the world scene. It may not happen next month or next year, but it is taking place according to ancient prophecies revealed in your Bible. GN
