American Rome and the resurrected Judea

The article draws parallels between ancient Rome's decline and contemporary America, asserting that civilizations falter when they abandon their core mission or succumb to internal decay. It highlights two key Roman flaws now evident in the U.S.: the integration of diverse groups who maintain separate customs, weakening central authority, and a societal shift from valuing civic virtue to idolizing spectacle, like sports stars and social media celebrities. The author argues that "woke ideology," while promoting compassion, lacks the wisdom to address the true causes of suffering, leading to a "civilizational Oedipus complex" that rebels against divine laws.

"Israel must generate the wisdom that America needs right now."

The piece posits that Israel, as the "resurrected Judea," holds the divine wisdom necessary to guide a "perplexed humanity" and prevent America's collapse. It suggests that the U.S. was raised to be the guardian of biblical morality, while Israel's mission is to provide spiritual guidance, fulfilling the prophecy that "Out of Zion shall go forth the Torah, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." The article concludes by emphasizing a shared divine design, where America carries the torch of wisdom generated by Israel, a second chance after the failure of the ancient Roman-Judean relationship.
