In
1998 a Russian economics professor predicted the disintegration of the
United States as a result of an economic collapse, moral degradation,
and unchecked immigration. This same economics professor had earlier
predicted the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
While his prediction is obviously flawed in many ways, the truth remains that we are a country perched on a precipice. We are more divided as a nation than we have ever been racially, economically, and religiously. We are divided along party lines and already identified as separate members of a divided nation (i.e. red states and blue states).
The debate last night showed just how far down the slope of dissolution our country has already traveled. We are no longer a united nation, and if a country is divided, it cannot stand.
Something has to give.
The answer was not on the stage at the debate last night. The answer is much higher than that. The only hope this nation has is a return to God (2 Chronicles 7:14). Apart from Him, we are doomed.
