The United States was started by good men. The United States has a greater proportion of Christians than any nation in the world. Surely they would not allow their nation to become a terrible beast.
We should note two dangers. - The beast appeared to be good when it started. The first group of political leaders hand power to the beast willingly. I presume that they did so, because they considered the new political power was good. A good start does not guarantee a good finish.
- There were plenty of Christians in Germany, but they still allowed Hitler’s rise to power by democratic processes. In a society where Christians have their senses dulled by materialism and patriotism, they can let their nation slip into hegemony. By the time Christians woke up, the nation had passed the point of no return.
I hope I am wrong, but wise men should be vigilant.

I hope you're wrong, too. The United States seems to me to be a mixture of good and bad. But true of every such entity on earth.
We need to be thankful for the good, yet speak out against all of the evil, in the tradition of the biblical prophets and as those who are of the people of God.
