The United States did do a cleaning out of house, though, however. The United States was nearly defeated by its enemies.

 We don't have the capability to survive without peace, anymore. We need to feel good. People used to feel good by religion. Jesus Christ discerned spirits in the sacred-texts that made the World rich with God. God had to have something to work with, if he was to work as he conventionally had. It's an evident aspect of religion that God doesn't perform miracles by verbatim. Perhaps by a virtual extent of doing them, but not every time. 

So, he started his holy people & priesthood in Israel. Because it was through Abraham that all people were to be blessed. That's a Messianic Prophesy. Why did Abraham take such a significance? He was part of the tribe called Hebrews. The Hebrews were the keepers of the most sacred traditions of the most-high God. Well, Abraham was to be a last generation if not for God's intercession to him.

God needed Rome, like he needed Greece. Without something to work with, God doesn't perform his works. An explanation is that he finds the works he performs to be too cheap. That is, that the recipients are unworthy. It's true that God could have gone elsewhere, but could have he truly? We don't know that. God is omnipotent in that he is nearly omnipotent. He does leave things to time, chance, & fate. 

But yeah, Jesus Christ the King probably discerned the A.D. sacred texts with spirits. Then, he started a following in Rome. What if the Centurion did what he offered to the Lord, anyways? There were two Augustus Cesar's. They were brothers. One was a follower of Christ & the other was a follower of Greek Mythology. The follower of the Paganism murdered his ruling & presiding Brother who was a Christian, & then later started the Graeco-Jewish Wars. 

Because the Centurion had the power, possibly, to cause such things to happen. He could make them happen by a military insurrection & Roman coup d'état. I think that he did do this. Then, Rome started working on beholding Jesus, & Jesus communicated with them certain evident truths to the World, & the Roman Congress manufactured it into After-Death Feudalism.
