Only God can make America great again. And He'll only do so for the same reason He made America great the first time.

America was once great but not for the reason most people believe it was. In fact, quite the opposite - a classic case of Isaiah 5:20, calling evil good and good evil.

Yahweh, God of the Bible, blesses nations (makes them great and prosperous) when they look to Him as their sovereign and thus His moral law as the standard for government and society, per Deuteronomy 4:4-8, 28:1-14, etc.

Consequently, America's greatness was the result of the early 1600s governments of, by, and for God established upon His unchanging moral law:

Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835: "They [the early 1600s colonials) exercised the rights of sovereignty; they named their magistrates, concluded peace or declared war, made police regulations, and enacted laws as if their allegiance was due only to God. Nothing can be more curious and, at the same time more instructive, than the legislation of that period; it is there that the solution of the great social problem which the United States now presents to the world is to be found [in perfect fulfillment of Deuteronomy 4:5-8, demonstrating the continuing veracity of Yahweh's law and its accompanying blessings, per Deuteronomy 28:1-14].

"Amongst these documents we shall notice, as especially characteristic, the code of laws promulgated by the little State of Connecticut in 1650. The legislators of Connecticut begin with the penal laws, and … they borrow their provisions from the text of Holy Writ ... copied verbatim from the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy.…" (Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 2 vols. (New York: NY: The Colonial Press, 1899) vol. 1, pp. 36-37)

On the other hand, per Deuteronomy 28:15-68, Yahweh curses nations who reject His sovereignty and replace His law with their own man-made surrogates. Thus, America began to be cursed (by God's long suffering only incrementally at first) when the late 1700s constitutional framers replaced the 17th-century governments with their own humanistic government of, by, and for the people based upon capricious Enlightenment and Masonic traditions. Without repentance for these sins of sedition our complicity therein, it was inevitable that America would find herself teetering on the precipice of moral depravity and destruction.
