The MODERN ROMANS - PART I - Garner Ted Armstrong & Gene H Hogberg - August 1969

Garner Ted Armstrong & Gene H Hogberg

The FIVE MAJOR CAUSES for the collapse of the Roman Empire are rife in modern America and Britain. Tragically, modern man has not learned from historical mistakes. Millions today believe America is too big, too powerful, too wealthy to suffer a similar fate. But the cold facts present a bleak warning - a warning we simply must not ignore! "HO, HO!" they laughed at the warnings of Seneca. "Rome fall? Never!" To Roman citizens living in the glitter of empire - enjoying an explosive frenzy of building, with huge cities, bejeweled with rising marble columns, with paved, pleasant tree-lined avenues and rushing fountains; seeing the victory parades through triumphal arches of yet additional conquests; hearing of the exploits of this or that great general - Rome was impregnable. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
