Wrath of God - Book of Mormon

I read the Book of Mormon and I mostly disagree with it.  However, I do agree with the wrath of God.  In the Book of Mormon, the people turned away from God time and time again.  God would bring His judgement on them and they would suffer.  In their suffering, they would sometimes turn back to God as He sent them preaching prophets.  Then God would bless them for a while. In time, they would again turn away from God.  Our country, the United States of America, has definitely turned away from God.  People here don't want children to pray to God in school.  Many people don't want God's word, the Bible, in school.  God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their homosexuality.  This is now common throughout our country.  In the Bible, the Israellites were very rebellious against God.  Among their many sins, they offered their children in the fire as sacrifices to idols.  God brought judgement on Israel.  He let their enemies brutally conquer them.  In our country we have aborted around 60 million innocent babies.  We have a lot of blood on our hands.  I believe the wrath of God is like a great lake that is held up by a tall dam.  We are like some oblivious people living comfortable below the dam.  Soon the lake will be full of the wrath of God and the dam will break.  We will be swept away and destroyed by the great waters of the wrath of God.  Yet, for a while, we have some time to repent of our sins and turn to God.  God have mercy on our country - the United States of America!

Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned , and come short of the glory of God;..."
Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 5:8 - "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 10:9&10 - "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
