Guest guest Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Forwarding......... A historian and linguist from South Africa recently wrote me a fascinating letter, in which he chronicled the major world empires of history, dating the time of their rise and fall. Here is what his calculations look like: Assyria (859-612 B.C.): a 247-year reign. Persia (538-330 B.C.): a 208-year reign. Greece (331-100 B.C.): a 231-year reign. The Roman Republic (260-27 B.C.): a 233-year reign. The Roman Empire (27 B.C.-180 A.D.): a 207-year reign. The Arab Empire (634-880 A.D.): a 246-year reign. The Mameluke Empire (1250-1517 A.D.): a 267-year reign. The Ottoman Empire (1320-1570 A.D.): a 250-year reign. Spain (1500-1750 A.D.): a 250-year reign. Romanov Russia (1682-1916 A.D.): a 234-year reign. Great Britain (1700-1950 A.D.): a 250-year reign. The USA (1790-2009 A.D.): 219 years and counting. " The period of Grace is closing, in what is your homeland. " In addition, serious students of Holy Writ are also struck with the similarities between societal conditions in America and those of Old Testament Israel (as well as with Gentile nations) at those times of divine judgment and retribution. As someone trenchantly said, " If God spares the United States, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
