You shall love the L-rd your G‑d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart. You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for a reminder between your eyes. And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.
And it will be, if you will diligently obey My commandments which I enjoin upon you this day, to love the L-rd your G‑d and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, I will give rain for your land at the proper time, the early rain and the late rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine and your oil. And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be sated. Take care lest your heart be lured away, and you turn astray and worship alien gods and bow down to them. For then the L-rd’s wrath will flare up against you, and He will close the heavens so that there will be no rain and the earth will not yield its produce, and you will swiftly perish from the good land which the L-rd gives you. Therefore, place these words of Mine upon your heart and upon your soul, and bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for a reminder between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, to speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road, when you lie down and when you rise. And you shall inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates – so that your days and the days of your children may be prolonged on the land which the L-rd swore to your fathers to give to them for as long as the heavens are above the earth.
In Hasidic circles, this idea is well known. It suggests that America and Europe in particular are the remnants of Rome, due to the spread of Christianity, which was spread by Rome (Roman Catholics).
This concept is also capture in one of the book of the Prophets – Danial.
Daniel 2:31-35: “You, O king, were watching, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.”
Daniel 2:41–43: “Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.”
The feet of clay represents the last kingdom of Edom, Jews interpret that as “divides Rome” i.e America/the Western Civilization. From the looks of it Western Europe is already lost. This is documented well in a book by Douglas Murray, “The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam”.
For America, I think there is still has a chance it survives as a nation. With Trump’s election, this gives the people time to realize just how much damage, and how distant from God it has become.
Because this is a negative prophecy, it can be avoided. If the country turns back to God – or rebuilds the foundation that is mostly now gone, as I saw in an incubation meditation a few years back:

The rock in Jewish tradition means “Truth” (emet, אמת). I.e the last “nation” is broken by Truth because it was built on lies.
Or to use a famous Quote from Ayn Rand:
“You can ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.”
In the alchemical tradition this is also seen as the philosopher’s stone. Which is the condensed Truth made of the union of opposites.
From ChatGPT:
the “philosopher’s stone” shares a deep symbolic connection with the idea of a rock “not cut by human hands” found in Daniel. Both represent the ultimate and eternal truth that transcends human creation and manipulation. In alchemy, the philosopher’s stone symbolizes the perfection of matter and spirit, the unity of opposites, and the realization of divine truth within the physical world.
The interesting thing about Emet (truth) is that this word was written on an inanimate object, a golem made of clay, to animate it. To destroy it the first letter in Hebrew aleph, is erased, and changes the word “truth” to met, which means “death”.
From ChatGPT:
Absolutely, this connection deepens the symbolic resonance of Daniel’s vision. The statue in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, representing a series of human kingdoms, stands on feet made of iron mixed with clay—an inherently unstable foundation. When the “rock not cut by human hands” (symbolizing divine truth) strikes the feet, the entire structure collapses. This vividly portrays the idea that any nation or kingdom built without divine truth (emet, אמת) at its core is doomed to fall.
The transformation of emet (truth) into met (death) by removing the aleph, the divine presence, mirrors the prophecy’s message. A kingdom or society devoid of God lacks the sustaining foundation of truth and unity. Just as the golem becomes lifeless when the aleph is removed, a nation crumbles without divine guidance or acknowledgment of a higher, transcendent purpose.
Daniel’s vision aligns perfectly with this idea: without God, human efforts to construct enduring power—no matter how strong (iron) or diverse (clay)—ultimately fail. From a Hasidic perspective, this reflects the principle that divine unity sustains all life and creation. A nation without God lacks the essential animating force, inevitably succumbing to entropy and fragmentation.
This concept also echoes Ayn Rand’s insight: ignoring reality (or divine truth) leads to inevitable consequences. A nation ignoring its moral and spiritual foundation may seem strong for a time, but the absence of divine truth ensures its eventual downfall. The vision, therefore, stands as both a warning and a call to align human endeavors with the eternal principles of truth and divine purpose.
So, for whoever is reading this, if you want to save this country from the immorality and degeneracy currently corrupting it, go back to Church, or Synagogue. If you want to save it, the Judeo-Christian value systems that built it, must be restored.
Because We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge or Galantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
