Make America Great Again?

From the booklet Great Again
By Gerald Flurry

Do you believe the United States of America has been mainly a positive force in the world for most of its history?

Do you have a favorable view of the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, separation of powers, rule of law, Manifest Destiny, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, free-market economy, and America’s role in World Wars i and ii?

If you do, then surely you are deeply alarmed by the state of America today.

All of these pillars of American history and identity are being vilified and destroyed. America’s educators are teaching oncoming generations to be embarrassed by them. Even the nation’s leaders see them as shameful. On many foundational issues, they share the views of America’s worst enemies!

The nation’s foreign policy is utterly transformed. We have seen apologies, concessions and surrenders made to dictators and despots, while longtime alliances, like those with the United Kingdom and the Jewish state of Israel, have been cast aside. Nations that have relied on America for leadership, strength, security, protection and largesse face a new reality and are having to forge alternate relationships, even if they undermine America.

There is a spiritual dimension to America’s decline that most people do not see. The crisis facing this nation is not because of a bad president! The cause is far deeper. But most people are unwilling to face it.

Many Americans realize that the nation is off track and suffering. You hear a lot of people speaking out about what ails America and how to fix it.

On one side of the political spectrum are people who are upset about many things—but who believe America’s problems are a result of its past. They think the nation hasn’t departed far enough from its founding principles of limited government, individual liberty and free markets. Unlike the founders, they believe the federal government should be larger and more powerful. That it should claim more of people’s income and redistribute it to those it deems deserving. That rather than safeguarding equal opportunity, it should impose and enforce equal outcomes. They believe America should be more like some of the worst failed governmental experiments in human history!

The fact that these views have such a large and fanatical following speaks volumes about how radically different the United States is today from what it was even one or two generations ago! You can read more about where these ideas originated and why they have become so popular in Chapter 3 of this booklet.

A lot of Americans are upset and anxious about America’s direction—but tend to view the biggest problems as more recent. These people believe that the nation’s economy, military, diplomacy and global influence have gotten dangerously weak. They see trends like anti-American political correctness and rampant illegal immigration as being threats to the country. They see that America is in trouble, and they want solutions.

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016 captured the support of this segment of Americans. Mr. Trump does an admirable job of identifying these problems and addressing people’s concerns. His slogan is “Make America Great Again.”

That slogan resonates with a lot of people who believe the United States has been mainly a positive force in the world—people who are not embarrassed by the nation’s history and unique identity.

Anyone who sincerely admires this country wants to see America made great again.

The Bible has a lot to say about the state of America today. It explains the inspiring reason why this nation was so great in the first place. And why it has been so richly blessed.

The Bible also prophesies that these blessings would be removed in our day. America’s problems are spiritual—and solving them requires spiritual solutions.

Could Mr. Trump’s presidency be prophesied in your Bible?

I’m going to explain some revealed truth to you that should electrify every American. And it will in time. That also includes every person on this planet.

What you read in this booklet can be proved—every chapter. The first chapter reveals some of the greatest fulfilled prophecy ever from God’s inspired Bible.

If you keep an open mind, it could galvanize your life as nothing ever has before!

If you have living faith in this message, it will give you the most majestic reward offered in the Bible.
