Is she under God? Will she be “made great again”?
If we’re interested in the play… as the final act approaches, will we be able to comprehend more of what’s going on?
I have dual citizenship—I’m a citizen of God’s Kingdom, living in hope of Jesus Christ’s return to completely establish it, while also being an American. One will stand... the other will fall (Galatians 3:26-29; Ephesians 2:18-22; Philippians 3:17-21). Which would be wise to invest in… wholeheartedly?
To claim the words of “one nation under God”... “a Christian nation”—are they accurate? If our money, national capitol, and monuments display symbols of the occult along with the declaration “in God we trust”… what’s the testimony?
If He’s the God of Israel that we “trust”… does this imply He gives an “aw shucks, it’s okay” for idolatry—the worship of Satan, the god of this world? Read the first three Commandments… then, how God dealt with Israel when they embraced other gods—I don’t think so!
Isaiah 42:8 I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
If God could be “knocked off”, would you want to serve and worship Him… could you trust His Word?
Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might…. 14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; 15 (For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the Lord thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth [Philippians 2:5-11].
Reading the Prophets in the Holy Bible… God says Israel is His nation that He uses to share Himself with the world… for His Name’s sake, His Glory. You see Him describing the covenant He made with Abraham swearing by none greater than, Himself. God promised to restore/redeem the Jews and Israel—the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Hebrews 6:13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself,14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” [Genesis 15]
Jacob was renamed by God as, Israel (Genesis 35:10-12).
When Christ Jesus rules as King of kings, Lord of lords, a Gentile will ask a Jew to take him up to Jerusalem to learn the ways of the Lord. The nations that don’t go up to the Holy Mountain of the Lord (Zion… Jerusalem) to worship God and keep His Feast of Tabernacles... will be denied rain (Zechariah 8:3, 20-23; 14:16-18).
For Israel and the Jews, if one uses the term “under God”, would they not be the only qualified? Does not a holy nation mean set apart for God’s declared purpose? At the end of this current age, are there other exclusive nations with this identity? Does God call any nation, other than Israel (Jacob)… the apple of His eye—a phase indicating protection from destruction… equated with, hide me under the shadow of your wings?
Deuteronomy 32:9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye [Psalm 17:7-8].
Does not any nation... that tries to hijack Israel’s standing by eventually attacking her... reap their own destruction (Exodus 19:5-6; Joel 3:1-3; Isaiah 34:1-8; Zechariah 12:2-3; Revelation 20:7-10)?
God told Moses, before Israel entered the Promised Land, how it all plays out at the end—He will fully rehabilitate her and deal retribution to those that hate and persecute her. Has this happened yet? The language of the New Covenant of… God will circumcise your heart… the Nation of Israel hasn’t experienced—she will when Christ Jesus returns to rule the world in the age-to-come as her King and Lord (Deuteronomy 30:1-9).
Yes, nations embracing Jerusalem in the age-to-come… are also called God’s people (Zechariah 2… vs.11).
The nation of God’s children: Gentiles (the wild olive branches) are grafted into the natural olive tree (Israel—the Nation of Hebrews, Jews) to become the Household of the God of Israel.
Jews and Gentiles… who accept Christ Jesus (the Son of God and the Seed of Abraham, the Son of David) as their Messiah, Lord, and Savior… inherit God’s promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel) through Him—we’ll experience multiplied greatly… the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end… all the nations blessed… and Life in the City built by the hand of God. We share in the New Covenant of… God is with us... through Jesus Christ’s perfect once-and-for-all sacrifice at the Cross. He reconciled us back to the God of Israel… and, as the only qualified Eternal High Priest over God’s House for the forgiveness of our sins, He keeps us in good standing.
God came to be with us (Jesus… Immanuel… God with us) so that the God of Israel (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) will dwell among us in the age-to-come, forever (Eternity) (Ezekiel 37:25-28; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Isaiah 7:14; 8:8-10).
Grievously, not all Jews and Gentiles will accept this nullifying their claim to, God’s guarantee of, being “children of Abraham”... “children of God”… a citizen of the Kingdom of God… “under God” (under the wings of His protection… to never be abandoned or forsaken)—their residence in the presence of the God of Israel.
So…
“Make Great Again”—would this not apply to one nation, Israel, that her God will make happen… and she’ll endure, forever?
Back to proclaiming “one nation under God”—
Are there Christians in America… is it Christian, in context of maintaining a clean conscience, to support one’s nation… does it make life better to respect your neighbor created in the image of God?
When America adhered to its constitution, did it exhibit some blessings that God describes in the age-to-come?
Yes.
However… don’t those claiming various “faiths”… even atheists… naturally attempt to avoid “some” behaviors that cause self-inflicted pain?
Ephesians 5:29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it…
Reminds me, I heard that an Irishman once said… if I knew where I was going to die, I would sure avoid going near there.
Alone, it doesn’t mean one’s righteous, but there’s more peace and prosperity… if we love our neighbor as ourselves (we produce something they want or need) and we don’t steal his stuff.
But, it doesn’t last. Without the Holy Spirit flourishing to govern a man’s heart, his “love” mutates and hardens into self-destructive hate—“evil” shares the billing with “good” on the marquee of that tree.
For America… does is becoming once did.
Liberties that were afforded in America—I appreciate… have used… but as they fade, along with the glory of the flesh, I’m learning not to idolize that which does. I have One legitimate King and Lord who saves and promises a Life and future—He alone, is worthy of worship (1 Corinthians 7:29-31; Romans 12:14-21).
That said—
Is there a symbolic significance to the “crown of 7 points” adorning “lady liberty”… the Statue of Liberty—the welcoming beacon for “liberty and justice for all”?
…her crown representing light with its spikes evoking sun rays extending out to the world; Overview + History The Statue of Liberty
The spikes on the Statue of Liberty’s Crown symbolize the diadem, or crown, of the sun god... This symbolism emphasizes the universal message of freedom that the Statue of Liberty embodies, extending its reach to people across all continents. The spikes on the Crown serve as a powerful representation of the interconnectedness and global unity of humankind, celebrating the ideals of freedom, democracy, and equality that the statue stands for. Unravelling the Magnificence of the Statue of Liberty’s Crown
The spikes are sun rays, he says, and the circle is “simply a halo or what in art is called a nimbus, showing she is divine.” Barry Moreno, author of The Statue of Liberty Encyclopedia and the park’s official librarian.
Sounds virtuous … but on the same “road of license” traveled by past empires, we find the same quagmires. Exits to the “pit stops” of roadhouses, pot shops, and brothels line the “prosperity highway”—cruising along “getting our kicks on Route 66”… we’re shocked when we suddenly find ourselves on skid row in a chain gang… in the scam sold to us as the “smart city of man”.
Only One has the power to create paradise. He’s done it before, and will do it again—creating a Garden of Eden… New Heavens and Earth (Isaiah 55:8-13; Ezekiel 36:35-36; Isaiah 51:3-6).
Jesus Christ, who said He is the Light of the world, also described the Church as… the light of the world, a city set on a hill. Is this ultimately fulfilled in the New Jerusalem, the Lamb’s Wife?
Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband…. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
The God of Israel will be the Light for the nations to walk in… not the Statue of Liberty… or any other false-deity.
So… why are the impotent currently attempting to fabricate their “land flowing with milk and honey”?
The world does not want Light. I think that’s obvious as the world seems to get darker. Is the increasing darkness a result of the Family not stepping up as… “the light of the world… a city that is set on an hill”? When I read this in Matthew 5, Christ says we ARE already this—so why the darkness? Is it because our time is not yet?...
I understand internal Family matters such as:… ...are not to be a public spectacle so as to impress—to get an “atta boy” from them.
If the Family starts to live, or accommodate, for public approval like the politician, then Family behavior is modified and compromised. It is no longer recognizable in context of the Family History and Constitution. We cease being true to ourselves as a Family. The Family Fortune 4thed PDF, 4 IN HOUSE, pp. 21
Satan, the puppeteer of this world, counterfeits himself as an “angel of light”. He empowers his false teachers and preachers—ministers of “magic gold dust… flying feathers… three-card monte… the press… and Russian roulette”—with “curare tipped darts”. When he pierces their hearts, he shackles the souls of his prey—male and female… free and slave… in the dead of night and in the heat of the day (2 Corinthians 11:13-15; Proverbs 7:4-5,21-23; Ephesians 6:16).
Do not “7 mountains” represent a false-liberty (Revelation 17:3-9)? When the heat is on, the bow decorating the world’s “gift of peace” becomes unraveled exposing their “black swan”—the Crusaders, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao came to dawn… so will the “Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth, Babylon”.
What the world is “under”, has too…
…(Revelation 18:23 ...with your sorcery all the nations were deceived. “sorceries”… pharmakeía… administering of drugs). The American Feds and most individual States try to convince us it’ll make our “polluted” skies, lakes, and lives… “brand-new”.
If a nation, autocratic group, or individual thinks they’re a “legend in their own mind”… “favored gods who God owes”… are they attempting to usurp the Glory God has reserved for Himself and His Name—that He’s chosen to express through… Israel?
If the root’s rotten, what’s the fruit gotten—historically, in the name of God... haven’t men violently shed the blood of other men because they’re deranged? Wouldn’t this classify as… using the Lord’s Name in vain?
Why?
God’s declaration of how and when He will redeem His people with His grace threatens their vexatious pace to win the world’s race. To cope, they toke on their weed... “imagining” their “purpose-driven-dream”... of lust and greed. Obsessed with Israel’s extermination... they think their path will be paved to becoming their own god and “immortal” (I mean immoral) nation. But, they’ve forgotten the memo—the “Cloud and Fire” thwarted Pharaoh until he thought he had broke through... then, God drowned his crew.
If it “quacks and acts”—
Does this look like some beliefs expressed as Christian Nationalism… New Apostolic Reformation… Kingdom/Dominion Now… 7 Mountain Mandates… the Church has replaced Israel… Preterism… Humanism… Socialism… other “ism” movements and religions—all rooted from Gnosticism, that attempts to switch the identity of the God of Israel with Satan?
The American military promise to serve the American citizen by protecting and upholding the American Constitution against all foreign and domestic enemies. Would they not have... the duty to disobey an unlawful order levied against such obligations. Sound familiar (Deuteronomy 13:1-3,6-10; Matthew 10:32-39)? Today, we don’t “stone” the charlatans… but to fiercely reject their deception and compromise, protects our heart and faith.
To the Gnostic boasting their elite “special knowledge of light”... have you ever had someone you cared about die? In the Garden of Eden, who told the truth… who told a lie? And, this the one you’re trusting with your life?
“Narcissism” is the watered-down way to describe the “fluffing” of a liar and thief. To be “triumphal” for liberty, they demand they’re the “one” to follow… but their words ring hollow—when they say they’ve won... we see they didn’t “get ‘er done”.
Why?
Who wears the crown of freedom?
Jesus wore the crown of thorns… to become the only qualified to offer true and lasting freedom. As the Son of God, He was born as a man, the Son of David, from Israel’s Tribe of Judah—the Revelation 12 woman, representing Israel, wears the crown of 12 stars, representing her 12 Tribes. Is not Christ Jesus known as the Everlasting Father… the Prince of Peace… a Father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah (Isaiah 9:6-7; Jeremiah 23:3-6; Isaiah 22:20-22; Revelation 3:5-7)?
Does God describe a ruler chosen by Him for His people in His Land (Deuteronomy 17:14-20)? Could this be a ruler for... a nation under God? No head-of-state in this age has lived up to these qualifications. Would not Christ Jesus, as King of kings and Lord of lords, fulfill this description in the age-to-come? He comes from His own brethren… He doesn’t “lick the boots” of Egypt (the world)… He need not chase after silver and gold because all things were created by him, and for him… He has one Bride, the Lamb’s Wife… He knows and keeps God’s Word, which is His own... He is not prideful and arrogant… He leads and judges the people by the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord (Luke 8:20-21; Romans 8:29; Colossians 1:15-20; Isaiah 11:1-5).
Any other way is a false-flag of everlasting freedom… slavery to the world… bondage to sin—all ending with the permanent address of the Lake of Fire.
If Israel’s extinct… so is a future of freedom.
So… who are you going to “bank on”… being under?
If you’re choosing the one that’ll go bankrupt… it’s not too late—before “the lights are turned out and the party’s over” on the foreclosure… the forwarding address to a hot-dry-barren-dark wilderness of destitution can be changed to a secure-glorious-permanent Home of… shalom!
