History Never Changes
Time and technology have changed, but people are the same because history repeats itself. The people in ancient Israel kept turning their backs on everything they believed in, and modern civilizations have done the same. People never change; history just repeats itself.
Israel was a nation that considers itself God’s chosen people. The people of Israel came
out of Egypt because of oppression. They were not allowed to worship their God freely. So God raised up an individual to take them out of Egypt into the land that is now known as Israel.
During the time of the Judges, the people had given up on the true God, and turned to pagan
gods because other gods allowed them to do what they wanted to do, even if it meant giving up
what was right. They turned to these other gods and practiced paganism until things started to gobadly for them. During the time of Jephthah, the Israelites were taken to the nations of Philistia and Amon. They were forced back into oppression. That is when they began to cry out to God,and admitted that they messed up. They turned to God for help, and he elevated Jephthah to save them. God, through Jephthah, saved them by delivering them from their enemies. Israel did this many times. They would worship God, and then they would look around and find somethingthat looked better, even if it meant going against what they believed, but as soon as things wentbadly, they would turn back to God. God would then raise up a leader to save them. This pattern was repeated over and over.
The United States of America has done the same thing. We too, left England, our
homeland, to worship God freely. We came to the land of America and became a nation founded
on principles. As we have advanced through the years, we have given up God and our morals.
We have said no, people can’t worship God freely because you might offend someone. We have
become a nation of tolerance. Because of this, things have gone horribly. We keep turning to
something else we think is better. We have lost our morals and principles as we believe in
something we think is better than God. We have turned to other religions, cults, or the occult, or
denied the existence of God. Right now, I believe we have made money our god. We do worship
it we might not bow down to it, but we do whatever we can to have more of it. I don’t believe
that money is the cause of this. I believe the love of money is the cause because money leads to
power, and everybody wants power. Since we have turned to money, our nation is failing and
falling apart. Our economy is collapsing because we want money we do not have. We are at war
with a country that is controlled by terrorists. We think we can do everything on our own, but
really we can’t. Israel was the same way, in that they wanted more, and thought they could get it on their own. We have leaders who are either trying to help, and we won’t listen, or we have
leaders who are flatly corrupt, and we do listen. We are like Israel, in that we want something
we think is better, and that is going to make us happy. It is only going to lead to our deaths. The
only way to fix it is to do like the Israelites did, to go back to how it all started; to go back to
God.
History repeats itself over and over, but it simply keeps getting worse. America is just
like Israel in that they both want something they think is better. Israel chose to worship other
gods who they thought brought them joy and happiness, but all they found was war and
destruction. As Americans, we often choose ourselves and money because we believe the more
we have, the better off we are, but all we find is pain and desolation. So really, what is the
differences except for the time?
