So Great A Nation |
Dear Brethren,
We have lived in the very best of times. We have
been so privileged to be the recipients of the profound Word of God while living in the land
of peace and abundance. We have enjoyed freedom of religion to
openly practice our faith and worship our true God. But, as
many of you have noticed, the national blessings that we once so
freely benefited from have begun to erode rapidly. What is
happening to our great nation? The current
political regime is supplanting the founding Judeo-Christian
principles upon which our nation was founded. Those who do
not recognize that it was God who bestowed great national power and wealth on this, our modern Israelitish nation, have usurped our Constitutional form of government.
In the greatest rip-off scheme of all time, be it cap and trade, the massive
devaluation of our currency, or climate change legislation,
there is fully underway an active movement to dissipate the
accumulated wealth of our people and nation among the godless
heathens of the world. It is only because we are Abraham’s
children that we are the recipients of these national blessings
of greatness. God promised, “All these blessings shall come
on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice
of the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 28:2)
Unlike the present leadership in Washington, DC, our history records how
our founding fathers looked to Divine guidance and principle for
direction. History also records how acutely successful that
national experiment proved to be. There has never been a
nation so great and so richly endowed with the
blessings of heaven.
God, because of His love for us, intended to make us the enviable example to all
the world – as long as we collectively looked to Him as the
Almighty. God gave us the nation-building set of laws,
statutes and judgments that we needed to succeed in this new
land. “Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom
and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which
shall hear all these statutes, and say, surely this
great nation is a wise and understanding people. For
what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto
them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him
for? And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and
judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you
this day?” (Deuteronomy 4: 5-8)
Have you ever asked yourself why a large nation like Mexico, with its
industrious, diverse, and continental population, its rich
natural resources, mountains, coastlines and favorable climate,
cannot rise to prominence? Even today, it is only God’s law
that prevents the United States of America from becoming a
bribery based, corrupt, third-world country. We have not made
ourselves great – it is God who has indeed led America into
becoming the greatest and most powerful nation that has ever
existed.
He was our God and we were His people. Not perfectly by any means – but we
openly proclaimed ourselves to be a Christian, God-fearing
nation. Our President has now boldly declared that the United
States does not consider itself to be a Christian nation
anymore. I pray though he said that not so much to be defiant
of the true God, but to be inclusive of other gods; what he
stated has largely become a truism. Though the First Amendment
of our Constitution says that Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof – that is exactly what has taken place while
we the people stood idly by. God has been officially
and legally excluded from all public acknowledgement.
Now we cannot pray or mention God without inviting the entirety of political
wrath to descend upon us. We have lost our freedom of religious
worship along with our freedom of speech! The handwriting is on
the wall for our once great nation (Daniel
5:25-26). What can we, as a people and a nation, expect as a
result of our rejection of God and His Ten Commandments? We can
anticipate God beginning to remove the national blessings and
the protection He has thus far afforded us because we, as a
nation, have rejected His perfect way. "Moreover all these
curses shall come upon you and shall pursue you, and overtake
you, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkened not unto the
voice of the Lord your God, to keep His Commandments and His
statutes which He commanded you." (Deuteronomy 28:45)
Brethren, the tide has turned – the sun is setting – storm clouds are gathering.
