America is dying. Let’s consider another list:

Loss of freedom of speech. The media, colleges, and universities want to prohibit and/or suppress speech that does not go along with a particular agenda.
Loss of freedom of religion. Various groups and government entities do not want people to practice their religion as it can be offensive to those who are engaged in sinful practices (e.g. The Bible Condemns Homosexuality).
Total debt. The USA is the most indebted nation of all-time. Bible prophecy shows destruction coming to the highly indebted nation in Habakkuk 2:6-8.
Public endorsement of sin. Many sins are publicly endorsed, instead of being condemned. The Bible shows that condoning such sins leads to death in Romans 1:18-32.
House divided. The political parties, etc. are more divided than perhaps ever since the so-called Civil War. Jesus said a house divided against itself will not stand (Matthew 12:25).
There is violence in the land. This will not end well per Ezekiel 7:23-27.
Increased acceptance of drunkenness and getting high (see also Marijuana: Should a Christian Get High?). Habakkuk ties this in with debt and destruction in chapter 2, verses 5-8.
Increased acceptance of pornography (see also Pornography: A scourge on society). The USA accepts and promotes pornography–this will not end well per Romans 1:18-32 and Jeremiah 6:15.
Major international projects are less and less USA dominated. From Europe’s Large Hadron Collider to China’s Silk Road project, more and more major projects around the world are no longer being led by the USA. The Bible teaches that the final time of the Gentiles will come (Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:2) and that will not end well for the USA nor its Anglo-Saxon descended allies (cf. Jeremiah 30:7). See also The Times of the Gentiles.
Hypocrisy. The Bible (KJV) teaches that “an hypocritical” nation will be destroyed (Isaiah 10:5-12; see also Germany in Biblical Prophecy). US hypocrisy is more and more evident to Americans and non-Americans.

While the end of the USA is not yet, it is getting closer.
