Cosmos In America

Great Essays
Vast majority of the United States populations would deny that Americans are fulfilling prophecies written nearly 1,945 years ago (Slick, par.1) which are predicting America's fate. These prophecies foreshadowed America’s many wars, pestilences, diseases, and calamities; furthermore, the cosmos will be turbulent. Men will turn their backs to God and deny Him just as they claim to be prophets of his teachings. Nations will become perverse in their actions to allow sexual pleasures and worshippers of themselves and their possessions. Lastly, it is written in revelations that technology will allow for global communications. It can be assumed that by america's daily actions, America is living in its last days.

By the context of this and the passage that follows it, the Bible is referencing to the the signs of the end of times stating that the cosmos will be rapidly changing. Space exploration is nothing new to America seeing as how it began in 1958 (Garber, NASA) and by now we have learned majority of the universes routines. Just as humans daily routines change to accommodate their aging, it appears that the universe does the same too. Most recently, scientists observed, on the 25th of November of this year, a black hole consume an entire star around the size of our sun and “burp” up the remaining gasses. According Sjoert van Velzen of Johns Hopkins University, “the star—about the size of our sun—as it shifts from its customary path, slips into the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole and is sucked in,”. He then explains “ These events are extremely rare, It's the first time we see everything from the stellar destruction followed by the launch of a conical outflow, also called a jet, and we watched it unfold over several months." If it is not concerning enough that a black hole recently consumed a star the size of Earth’s sun, then take in perspective that on Tuesday May 5, 2015, Earth experienced a solar flare an incredibly high intensity. In this solar flare, radio communications on the Pacific islands and western North America were wiped out for an hour due to the magnetic polarity of these loops of hot burning gas “Tens of times the size of Earth” according to NASA. There are also many new things that America's scientist are discovering that have never existed before and are of unexplainable behavior.

    America’s future vison is continually changing. It appears that regardless of the ideas one sets for America it is never followed through. George Washington, one of America’s first great leaders and presidents, warned the young nation not to allow factions, such as political parties and foreign affairs to take part in United States.

The foreign debt America has gained, in today’s day and age, is the highest it has ever been.…

    America is an intriguing nation with several unique ethnicities, backgrounds, and religions throughout the fifty states. Regardless of the above statement more than a few people have questioned if America is or is not a Christian Nation. Depending on a person’s individual stance on the matter, they usually correspond to one of two generalistic theories about America. Theory one: America was founded by agnostics, deists, and atheists as a non-religious nation with little to no Christian heritage.

These movements significantly impacted a citizen’s relationship with their government, how they practiced religion, and their overall perception of the role and capabilities of institutions.

During the period 1607 to 1754, Enlightenment philosophy influenced Americans politically by causing colonists to view their government as an institution designed to serve their needs and ensure their natural rights, religiously by inspiring Americans to practice their faith without dependency on religious officials in societies such…

    In 1845, John O’Sullivan coined the term “Manifest Destiny” to signify the mission of the United States to spread across the continent with divine promise and guidance. The whole premise of manifest destiny is an assumed and self-proclaimed authority over the rest of the world. In America’s case: Anglo-Saxon Christians domination and superiority over all the other races. President Woodrow Wilson believed this term to mean the United States had a definite role to lead the world to new and better “things” such as, world freedom, religious enlightenment, and an economic process guaranteed to benefit all. This special calling, or mission, is what defined “America” to Wilson.…

    1. A vision of American republicanism emerged from the second great awakening in, religious revivals that swept the nation between 1790 and 1850. The second great awakening gave the Christian religion a greater influence over the souls of men than in any other country. Methodist bishop McIlvaine said, "The quickening of the people of God to spirit and walk becoming the gospel" prompted social reform on many fronts.

    Philosopher G.K. Chesterton once said that “America is the only nation in the world that is founded on Creed. When he said this he was referencing the Declaration of independence which lays out our beliefs and goals for all to see. The founding of the United States was revolutionary, not purely because we replaced one ruler for another or because we over threw an oppressive institution but because we placed political authority in the hands of the people. Nearly every Nation that has been and will ever be has found purpose and defined their existence based on some sort of unifying quality be it religion, geography, history or ethnicity. This is where America stands alone.…
