>America was prosperous as the Bible said it would be.

On an individual level. God promises them national prosperity for obedience in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. There’s curses for disobedience, esp turning away from God, that are very specific. Then, we see those patterns happening in the following books for Israel and the other countries. We’ve seen both happen in the U.S.
