Orlando, FL.- Money
vs. morality, lawlessness, and life vs. convenience are at the forefront of
troubling modern-day issues. But these challenges — and a host of others — that
underpin David S. Heerden’s latest book weren’t plucked from the headlines.
Heeren found them in the biblical book of Hosea. He was so struck by the
similarities between Israel’s problems 3,000 years ago and the current state of
the U.S. that he felt compelled to write What the Bible Has to Say About the
U.S.A.: The Old Testament Speaks to Americans.

“I’m reading this
biblical book about Israel, and everything in it, I can see it happening right
in front of me in the United States of America,” Heeren said in a recent
interview with William Ramsey Investigates.

In What the Bible Has
to Say About the U.S.A., Heeren takes readers on a fascinating exploration into
the book of Hosea, where he draws stunning parallels between ancient Israel and
modern America. Heeren details the cultural characteristics that the two
nations share during their periods of decline, centuries after their initial
settlements, namely: Money vs. Morality, Lawlessness, Humanism (the deification
of humanity), Liberalism (socialism), Globalism, Life vs. Convenience, New Age
(and other religions that Heeren calls “hostile to Christianity”), God’s love
(the book’s most important chapter), Cunning Commerce, Sexual License and
Environmentalism.

Heeren compels
readers to ponder questions such as, Will moral deterioration result in
upheaval that could impact all levels of American society? What can Christians
do to prevent a total collapse? And how should we prepare for whatever lies
ahead?

“He (God) no more
wants to see American civilization crumble than He desired the collapse of
ancient Israel,” Heeren explained. “So, we should not ignore prophetic details
that seem relevant to our imperiled nation. Reproduction of conditions could
result in repetition of consequences.”

In the book’s final
chapter, Heeren brings the discussion full circle, with a description of a
great spiritual revival — as prophetic as some of the Bible’s end-time texts
that anticipate the very same thing.

“Prophet Zechariah
said one-third of all human beings will rise into heaven on earth’s final day,”
Heeren added. “According to recent estimations by evangelists Billy Graham and
D. James Kennedy, the number 33 percent is way too high. That number, according
to Kennedy and Graham and others, probably right now is less than 10 percent.
Talk about revival!”

Author David S.
Heeren is an award-winning journalist and author of 18 books. A personal prayer
identical to that of Isaiah (Is. 6:8) led him to change his career emphasis
from sports writing to Christian writing in 2007. Since that time, he has
published nine books with Christian themes, five of which deal with biblical
end-time prophecy. His book, The High Sign, which identifies the most likely
sign of Jesus’ Second Coming, received a double-four-star (perfect) rating from
the Online Book Club — the highest rating awarded by the club. Heeren was
recently approved for inclusion in Who’s Who.

His upcoming
Christian novel, Year of Our Lord, has been praised by literary critic David
Dickerson as “by far the most exciting in the In His Steps series.”
