That person was Jesus Christ.
Without getting needlessly theological we can see how God dealt with the ancient nations and Israel then we can find clues as to how we may handle our modern problems. God’s nature and his standards never change, but prophetically speaking men will always be changing and paving a sure road to their own destruction - if left to themselves.
In an attempt to save ancient Israel God sent many prophets to warn them of their endless attraction to all the sins and idolatry of the surrounding nations. Eventually, the promise that they would be conquered by their worst enemy. Finally, they were struck down when the Kingdom of Babylon came and in four separate attacks leveled everything, they ever held dear.
In one passage (Isa 1:9) the Lord likens or compares them to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha. But America has gone way beyond those cities and can only be likened to the very resurrection or incarnation of Sodom and Gomorrah.

What nation has conspired by means of an ideological and corrupt movement to cut on their children and chemically castrate them? What continent, nation, or state has agreed to persecute all those who want to retain their rights as humans, their right to a standard family, free speech, or their God given right to follow the teachings of their own religion.
We once were proud that America stood alone in all of the best that human beings could accomplish. Now, we have the distinction of standing alone as the worst nation in the world, for egregious and filthy preoccupation with all things prurient and sleazy.
