USA the "Biggest" Spanish-Speaking Nation by 2050

“The United States is now the world’s second largest Spanish-speaking country after Mexico, according to a new study published by the prestigious Instituto Cervantes… there are 41 million native Spanish speakers in the US plus a further 11.6 million who are bilingual, mainly the children of Spanish-speaking immigrants. This puts the US ahead of Colombia (48 million) and Spain (46 million) and second only to Mexico (121 million)” (The Guardian, June 29, 2015). The report cited “the US Census Office which estimates that the US will have 138 million Spanish speakers by 2050, making it the biggest Spanish-speaking nation on Earth, with Spanish the mother tongue of almost a third of its citizens” (ibid.).

The United States has long been a nation of immigrants and owes much of its success to the diversity and drive of its citizens. Over the centuries, a common vision, common biblical morals, and a common language tied the nation together. But, the U.S. has become more divided religiously, morally, culturally and linguistically in recent decades. The Israelite portion of the U.S. population has declined as the Gentile portion has increased, as the Bible has long prophesied. God warned that because of Israel’s sins, “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail” (Deuteronomy 28:43-44). This trend will increase and will impact social conditions and national priorities.
