New Technology Leaves the U.S. Behind.

“China has tested a ‘hypersonic’ aircraft which is so fast that it could render the defense systems of every nation on Earth obsolete and reset the global calculations of nuclear diplomacy” (The Times, January 16, 2014). Identifying the sad irony of the situation, three Republican House Armed Services Committee members released the statement: “While round after round of defense cuts have knocked America’s technological advantage on its back, the Chinese and other competitor nations push towards military parity with the US. In some cases, as in this one, they appear to be leaping ahead of us” (ibid.).

Millennia ago, God warned that because of their rejection of Him, Israel and its descendants would experience the following from opposing nations: “He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail” (Deuteronomy 28:44). The once great United States of America, monetary and military leader of the world, is now falling from that position due to its rejection of God. “Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you” (v. 45).
