The United States of America is often viewed by some, particularly within Evangelical circles, as a Christian nation from its founding. They argue that God's hand was evident in the settling, conquest, and establishment of America, citing the Christian faith of many early immigrants and the biblical principles embedded in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. They point to statements from founders like George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson to support their belief that the nation was intended to be Christian. However, this perspective is challenged by the observation that the Constitution does not explicitly mention a separation of church and state, though it is inferred, leading to debates over whether the government should favor one religion over others. Evangelicals reacted strongly to the removal of God and prayer from public schools and the exclusion of the Ten Commandments from public legal life, viewing these actions as a direct attack by secularism on Christianity. Legal experts, on the other hand, maintain that supporting Christian practices in public life violates the principle of separation of church and state. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which influenced the Bill of Rights, emphasized that religion, morality, and knowledge are necessary for good government and encouraged their teaching in schools, though it left the specifics undefined and did not designate a specific denomination as a national religion. Despite claims of America being a Christian nation, the nation's collective conduct suggests otherwise. The United States has never been a Christian nation in terms of its actions, even if its founders held strong beliefs in Christian tenets. The diversity of religious denominations, each claiming to be Christian yet differing in doctrine and practice, further illustrates this point. Politically, these groups are divided, supporting various parties and candidates, which raises questions about whether they are truly following Christ. Evangelicals, for instance, have historically supported political figures aligned with their religious views, blending religion with politics in a way that could be seen as idolatry, confusing the Kingdom of God with worldly kingdoms. The belief in America as a Christian nation intensifies patriotism, leading some to assume that God is on the American side, justifying causes and wars as righteous. This belief is further pressured by internal secular forces, external threats like Islam, illegal immigration, and the declining influence of mainstream Protestant Christianity, making Evangelicals increasingly defensive. However, the United States, like ancient Israel, has historically resisted God, continuing a pattern of enmity rather than embodying a Christian identity.

The United States, a nation we hold dear, is not Christian, though it carries elements of Christianity within its framework. This country has seen remarkable achievements, yet it stands as an anomaly in history with its peaceful transitions of power. Across 44 changes of government, not once has there been a riot or violent revolution, reflecting a measure of Christian principles, discipline, and responsibility built into the character of the American people. However, the Founders of this nation, despite their sincerity, moral character, and insightful understanding of government, were not called into a spiritual relationship with God as under the Old Covenant with Israel and Judah. Their form of Christianity was a counterfeit of the true reality, though it surpassed other religious systems of the time, and they incorporated as much of these principles as they could into the Constitution. Additionally, the recent shift from a Republican-controlled government under Bush to a Democratic-controlled government under Obama has stirred exaggerated enthusiasm among the people, creating high expectations that could become burdensome if unmet. This nation, while blessed with prosperity and a sense of well-being akin to alimony from God due to His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, lacks the close spiritual intimacy once held by ancient Israel and Judah before their divine separation. Looking forward, imagine the glory of the World Tomorrow when Christ rules over these nations, infusing His character into the entire country—a time far surpassing the present, for which we must prepare by conforming to God's truth amidst worldly pressures.

Individual belief determines conduct, and centuries-long historical evidence of America as a nation, when compared to biblical truths, proves beyond a shadow of doubt that, despite all claims to the contrary by Evangelicals, the United States of America is not and never has been a Christian nation. We do not act like Christians when we act on our beliefs. When we compare American history with biblical truth, we see a people meshing the Kingdom of God with a patriotic love of country, creating a form of idolatry consisting of political ideals and agenda with religious overtones. America's Christians are showing by their works that they do not practice the faith once given to the saints because they do not believe what the saints believed. The conclusion on this basis alone proves that the United States of America is a kingdom of this world, and true Christians are commanded by our King Jesus Christ to come out of it. It is the manipulative, controlling, competitive, destructive, and adversarial spiritual influence of satan that undermines every ruler and all bodies of rulership on this earth, including the United States of America. While God is sovereign over all, for His purposes He permits a strong, ever-present demonic influence to pollute every earthly government. Therefore, one cannot assume that any nation, including our own despite its wonderful roots as being part of the Israel of the Bible, has always or ever been aligned with God.

The American nation, like others, has never shown evidence of choosing to submit to God, instead going its own way. Deceived as it may be, this indicates that America is not truly Christian. As a nation, it does not govern itself by submitting to God, for it is carnal and fights against Him, yet still claims to be Christian. Acting like any other carnal nation on earth, America benefits from some Christian truth from the Bible, which restrains it from the viciousness and violence seen in many other nations, though it falls short in the broader perspective. Historically, no modern nation has imposed its way of life over a longer period than Britain and the United States, whether to spread democracy or increase economic power. This imposition illustrates how kingdoms of this world achieve their agendas by pushing others around, even going to war if necessary, which is not the behavior expected of a Christian nation. The United States, as a carnal government, uses the power of the sword to coerce behavior, symbolizing its ability to enforce through pain and fear, from deprivation of liberties to the death penalty. This power controls behavior but cannot change internal nature, highlighting a key difference from the voluntary submission God desires. Changes in the American people's relationship with their government are becoming evident, with warning signals indicating a more authoritative stance, impinging on freedom, and likely leading to more intense demands than any experienced in United States history. The United States, like other nations, engages in war without God's permission, committing sin through killing, which shows it is not following Christ. God does not approve of sin, whether by an individual or a nation, as it runs counter to His standard of righteousness and always produces destructive effects.

The United States of America is a kingdom of this world and has always been a kingdom of this world. Despite many Christian principles appearing in the founding documents and the practice of what is commonly called the Christian religion, the founders were not Christian, and the nation has never been Christian. This is evident when personal beliefs and conduct are compared against biblical standards. Though America claims to be Christian since its founding, the historical and biblical records show that neither its leaders nor its citizens have followed Christ's teachings as their total way of life. They possess only bits and pieces of it. Therefore, it would be foolish to pattern one's life after what has been established as a way of life in the United States of America. Instead, the life of a follower must be patterned after the Founder of the Kingdom of God on earth, who is Jesus.

The United States of America has never been a Christian nation, neither at its founding nor today. Despite being influenced by Christian principles and incorporating some into its founding documents, the nation has not been part of the spiritual war described in biblical terms. The Founders of this nation were not called or converted, nor did they possess the faith once delivered to the saints. Though they exhibited a high level of carnal character, their lives reflected the ways of the world, evident in their belief in carnal warfare and the use of governmental power to coerce behavior. Their actions and the historical record of how they lived reveal that their hearts were rooted in this world, not in God's way. Additionally, current governmental actions, such as those within recent stimulus packages, continue to use power to dictate behavior, impacting freedoms and aligning with worldly agendas rather than spiritual ones. Ultimately, the United States, like other kingdoms of this world, engages in carnal wars to defend or impose its way of life, demonstrating its separation from the spiritual battle God calls His children to fight.

Broadcasting from the greatest nation on earth, a local Christian radio station in Charlotte, North Carolina, proudly proclaims. America has grown great indeed, and could very well be called the greatest nation. However, this is not a greatness of which we should be proud. It is self-evident that the United States of America has been the recipient of many of God's blessings, from the providence given to the Pilgrims, to the overwhelming natural resources that comprise this fruited plain, showing unusual and undeserved favor by God. Because we have been blessed so richly, we are all the more responsible for our conduct and our culture. We are proud of our freedoms, our form of government, and our technology as abstract concepts, but what we have produced with these is a mixture of good and evil, with more of the latter as time progresses. America has arguably had the greatest potential to glorify God of any nation in modern times, but we have failed miserably to live up to this calling. Instead, our greatness is a liability because we are spiritually exhausted. In the West, we often see Islamic people as crazed and irrational, but some might consider America to be akin to satan when looking at values like lust, greed, gluttony, and revenge, which seem to reflect American society. What have we done with our wealth, our power, our resources, and our technology? We have become a great nation, but it is all for naught unless we also become a good nation.

The United States of America, despite its immense wealth, faces significant economic challenges as several states struggle with financial decline. California, once boasting the fifth largest economy in the world, surpassing all but four nations, now ranks seventh and is in a state of economic free-fall. It is not alone, as other states grapple with similar issues, seeking ways to generate revenue to sustain their systems. During prosperous times, government officials, particularly in California, spent recklessly, promising funds as if there were no tomorrow. According to United States Census Bureau projections, California is expected to lose 800,000 people in both 2018 and 2019, with New York State facing similar population declines. These individuals are not vanishing but are relocating within the country to states like Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Florida, Utah, Idaho, and South Dakota, where job opportunities and income are more accessible. These destination states are experiencing economic booms due to factors such as low or nonexistent state income taxes, making them attractive for businesses looking to relocate or expand. High taxation in states like California and New York discourages business investment, as it negatively impacts profit margins, prompting companies to move to more favorable environments. In the heartland, states like Illinois and Minnesota also suffer from population loss due to high taxes, with Illinois losing 647,821 people between 2010 and 2017, a figure comparable to the combined population of its four largest cities outside Chicago: Aurora, Rockford, Joliet, and Naperville. The San Francisco Bay area in California has been particularly hard-hit, with residents citing reasons for leaving such as difficulty finding sustainable employment, a changed and oppressive local atmosphere, high living costs especially for housing, distrust in government fairness, and perceptions of California as a sanctuary state harboring criminals.

Over the last few years, the United States of America, still the world's foremost power, faces an alarming downturn in world affairs amidst global crises like COVID-19, the war in Ukraine, and economic turmoil. The conjunction of these crises with a weak administration and a divided Congress paints a troubling picture. The Biden White House, leaning more toward socialism than any prior administration, has shown ineffectiveness on multiple fronts, while congressional representatives waste time on political theater as legislation stalls. Despite this internal focus, the perceived weakness in Washington, DC, has emboldened both traditional foes and allies to act in their own self-interests without fear of severe sanctions from Uncle Sam, a reality evident across the globe. In comparison to its principal foreign enemy, the People's Republic of China, the United States maintains a significant economic and military edge. America's 2022 Gross Domestic Product surpasses China's by about $6 trillion annually, with a per capita GDP of $69,288 against China's $19,338. Militarily, the U.S. budget of $816 billion dwarfs China's $293 billion, and though China fields more personnel and naval vessels, America leads in aircraft, aircraft carriers, and destroyers. A potential war with China could inflict severe damage, but America's superior reach and experience would likely ensure victory. Historically, during the Cold War, the communist Soviet Union challenged American influence, but its power waned after 1989. Today, even with signs of decline, the United States remains unrivaled by any single nation on earth, blessed with immense wealth, resources, and strategic advantages. Yet, the true enemy may lie within, as internal struggles and a tide of immorality threaten the nation's foundation.

In recent years, the United States of America has become intensely focused on governmental practices, with news broadcasts saturated by politics and government issues since 2017. The primary motivator appears to be the activities of the Democratic Party, alongside the media, seemingly aiming to overhaul governmental systems in the United States to align with global practices. This shift, observed since the early twenty-first century and even before, resembles a bloodless coup through laws, regulations, and court decisions leaning far to the liberal left, diverging from the standards that once guided community life in America. The effect has been a transfer of liberties and power, removing individual choices and granting them to the government, moving away from the original concept of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, this transformation was well underway. The question arises whether God founded the United States of America as part of His purpose, particularly at the end time. If it is considered an Israelitish nation, it may be a portion of what belongs to God, part of His inheritance to His people. The history of the United States, with its first permanent settlement in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607, prompts consideration of whether God preserved this land for a significant role at the time of the end. The failure to teach the history of the United States properly in educational systems, from universities down to high schools, has led to a loss of connection with the past, contributing to confusion about the nation's identity and government. This ongoing purpose of God, moving events and nations according to His plan, suggests that the United States, along with other Israelitish nations, may have been positioned by Him for the return of His Son, Jesus Christ.

In the United States of America, a survey reported in a 2007 Christianity Today article reveals a concerning state of religious identity and practice. About 70-80% of respondents consider themselves Christian, a figure consistent with past surveys. The survey categorized these self-identified Christians into five groups: Active Christians (19%), who are committed churchgoers and Bible readers; Professing Christians (20%), who share similar beliefs but are less involved in church; Liturgical Christians (16%), predominantly Catholic and Lutheran, who value church authority but do not emphasize Bible study; Private Christians (24%), the largest and youngest group, who own Bibles but rarely read them or attend church; and Cultural Christians (21%), who show little religious behavior and believe in multiple paths to God. This diversity highlights a disunity and spiritual laziness among American Christians, with many holding vague, shallow beliefs about God, lacking respect for His authority, the church, or the Bible. Historically, when the nation was founded, people trusted the church more as essential to their well-being, attended services, and were more knowledgeable about God, resulting in lower levels of immorality compared to today. This trust enabled the Founders to frame a constitution around Christian principles, despite not being Christians themselves. However, current trends show a decline in biblical literacy across all categories of Christians, contributing to a culture where the church and Bible have lost authority, and individuals create their own spiritual beliefs.

In the history of mankind, never has there been a nation with such a vast, golden opportunity to develop the leadership possibilities that God has so generously made available as in the United States of America. Two hundred and fifty years ago, this vast gift of land from God to the Israelitish people was virtually empty, virgin territory, though its existence was known to explorers long before Columbus set sail. This gift holds far greater potential wealth of all kinds than the Promised Land given to the ancient Israelites. God has placed the various nations where He desires them to be, and the United States, along with other nations like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and regions of Central and Northwest Europe, are set up for the times of the end. However, the descendants of Joseph, including Britain and the United States, should be providing leadership for the other families as their forefather Joseph did, but they are not, as their attentions are almost entirely taken up without the presence of God. There is a great deal of verbal noise on the streets of America, amounting to a destructive din unified for no purpose but destruction. This confounding confusion, which God has no part in except to allow it to continue, is driving the nation toward profound disunity, approaching something closer to open warfare. If such conditions persist, the United States of America will not remain united much longer. God is not the author of this confusion; the wily satan is. The real opponents are not political parties like Republicans and Democrats, who are victims just like everyone else deceived by satan, but rather the varying degrees of belief in God among the people, with some denying a Creator altogether. Spiritual apostasy is dominating the morality of this nation, contributing to the anger and confusion among Americans. A notable example is the stance of a Baptist group, spearheaded by the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, which, under the name Christians Against Christian Nationalism, has declared that all faiths are on the same level as Christianity, endorsing an interfaith statement that stigmatizes religious appeals in political campaigns as inappropriate and divisive. This declaration, supported by various non-Christian and funded religious groups, suggests leaving God out of the administration of the nation and implies that salvation can be found from any religious perspective, reflecting a profound syncretism. True Christian obedience is gradually being squeezed from American life, restricting the freedom of religion, which is a way of life, in contrast to mere freedom of worship. As a result, while Americans may admire Christ, they do not follow Him step-for-step, and American Christianity is virtually dead in the water.

The United States of America stands as a central force in the current wave of globalism, embodying the modern equivalent of Manifest Destiny on a grander scale than the nineteenth-century nation-building efforts. Today, globalization is distinctly made in America, with the nation positioned as a key driver under God's orchestrated plan for these last days. He promised great national wealth to Ephraim and Manasseh, delayed until around AD 1800, coinciding with the initial stages of globalization when Ephraim began pushing toward a one-world government. America's history reflects a gradual shift from isolationism to internationalism. Early Puritans embraced isolationism, desiring separation from Europe and the secular world, with some even viewing America as the Promised Land. This isolationist stance influenced American thought for decades, evident in early education at Harvard University, founded in 1636, which included instruction in Hebrew. However, over time, Americans moved away from this mindset, with the Founding Fathers initiating transatlantic connections that persist today. Classical Greek and Roman influences replaced Bible-based education, and architecture mirrored designs of ancient Athens and Rome. George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, in Washington's 1796 Farewell Address, advised the young Republic to exploit its detached situation, avoiding permanent alliances until stronger. They foresaw America joining world powers as distances shrank with improved ocean transport, predicting hegemony over vast global areas due to commercial and naval might. God, however, delayed America's outward expansion by entangling the nation in the Napoleonic wars and the War of 1812, forcing an inward focus on continental development, termed Manifest Destiny by John L. O'Sullivan in 1845, as the right to possess the continent for liberty and self-government. Throughout much of the nineteenth century, isolationism and nation-building prevailed. Statesmen like John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay advocated for America to remain uninvolved in European conflicts, serving as a light to nations through example rather than intervention. This belief in America as an exemplar persisted from Washington to modern times, though globalists later adapted exemplarism to justify a leadership role in world government, shifting from passive to assertive intervention. The Monroe Doctrine of 1823, while audacious for a nation with limited military power, aimed to defend the American homeland and was fundamentally isolationist, not hegemonic. America's expansion into the Southwest, Texas, and California under Manifest Destiny was seen by many leaders as distinct from imperialism, involving contiguous, largely unpopulated lands. Even after the Mexican-American War, America withdrew from Mexico proper, with leaders like Calhoun warning against colonizing or subjugating Mexicans, viewing such actions as a threat to national institutions. By the early 1900s, America's foreign policy had shifted markedly toward internationalism, with assertive exemplarism gaining prominence over the passive stance of earlier statesmen, marking Manasseh's overclimbing of God-established walls.

The United States of America has reached its semi-quincentennial, marking 250 years of nationhood since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Though young compared to ancient nations, it stands as an accomplished and powerful child whose political reach encircles the globe, influencing and dictating the behaviors of faraway nations. Its people consume goods from nations big and small, fueling a vast economic engine that circulates wealth throughout the world, while its culture shapes global trends for good or ill. This preeminent status stems from its restless, forward-looking, pioneering, and independent people, whose Founding Fathers established governing ideals that enable free thought, trailblazing, innovation, and rapid progress. Before the Depression and World War II, limited government regulation allowed thinkers and inventors freedom to refine ideas for the market, building an economy from the ground up on vast natural resources that generated broad prosperity. American businesses developed unparalleled agricultural, transportation, and communications systems, and the resulting wealth has funded highly effective armed forces, weapons, bases, and technologies, including a nuclear deterrent and the only historical use of nuclear weapons in warfare, with its navy controlling the seas and its army maintaining a global presence. Yet these freedoms carry few constraints, which John Adams observed must come from a moral people trained to restrain excesses. With the dilution of Christian morality over the last century, the nation's putrid underbelly has emerged as political, cultural, and religious unity erodes under the principle that everyone does what is right in his own eyes. Although the rule of law has not yet been abandoned, the notion of freedom without responsibility threatens chaotic self-destruction. Outwardly strong, wealthy, and influential at 250 years, America is internally divided, bankrupt, and immoral, with its moral state at a historical low and sinking. The Bible records Israel's origin, rise, and fall, offering insight through Isaiah's description of a sinful nation laden with iniquity that has forsaken the LORD, provoking the Holy One of Israel and turning backward. National corruption spreads from individuals until the burden of sin seals doom without wholesale repentance. Isaiah depicts the whole head as sick and the whole heart as faint, from sole to head covered in wounds and putrefying sores, resulting in a desolate country whose cities burn and whose land strangers devour. The remedy lies in washing clean, putting away evil, ceasing to do evil, learning to do good, seeking justice, and obeying the LORD, who promises that willing obedience yields the good of the land while refusal leads to being devoured by the sword. Other prophets affirm that forsaking righteous living brings destruction unless a people repent and return to God. National repentance begins in individuals and could spread, yet it remains the only viable solution for a nation in such condition.

In the end time, the United States of America has become home to the largest number and most active members of what is named as the Christian church. An ongoing issue in this nation is whether America was founded as a Christian nation and has continued as such up to the present. God's involvement through the centuries in the emigrations of the children of Israel into the lands they now occupy, including America, is evident. During the Protestant Reformation period, the first wave of Israelitish emigrants came to America to escape religious persecutions in Europe, establishing the spiritual foundation of the nation. They were followed by a second, larger wave seeking wealth and personal liberties, whose descendants, including notable figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, began establishing governments in the colonies and led the nation to break free from England. The question remains whether the United States of America began as a Christian nation and whether it still is. National conduct reveals that the United States has never, at any time, been a Christian nation despite fervent claims to the contrary. The governmental organizers, well-educated and moral Americans by birth, were schooled in English common law and morally influenced by the Bible, but they were not theologians. In the colonial period, God set the table for America to not be part of the British Empire. Currently, the Evangelical wing of Protestantism responds to the dissolution of traditional values by humanists in government, education, and courts, protesting vigorously against the removal of God from public schools and the Ten Commandments from public legal life. Evangelicals, a general collection from many denominations, assert that traditional practices vital to the Judeo-Christian faith have been removed from public life, viewing this as a planned attack by secularism against Christianity. Guided by a unique perspective, it is believed that satan is involved in this conflict, supporting the Evangelicals' view, though unconverted legal experts argue that the government should not support one religion over another. Humanists claim that prayers to a Christian God in public settings and the public use of the Ten Commandments violate the church-state principle in the Constitution, though this separation is only inferred, not directly stated. Evangelicals argue that God's will is manifested in the settling, conquest, and founding of America as a Christian nation, citing that constitutional laws and traditions were established by emigrants from Europe who professed and practiced the Christian faith, and that the Declaration of Independence and Constitution incorporate biblical principles. However, both sides in this social conflict within the United States speak from inferences, not written law, leading to ongoing chaos with no authoritative resolution. From a biblical perspective, the American settlers, descendants of ancient Israel, did not truly obey God as a nation, except for brief historical periods, offering no consistent pattern of obedience to support the Evangelicals' argument. The emigrants came from a Europe in religious turmoil due to the Protestant Reformation, lacking unity in faith and having no common Christian source for religious guidance. The Founding Fathers, though seemingly more religiously oriented than current political leaders, were not united in one Christian voice, further weakening the claim of America as a Christian nation from its inception. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787, significant in shaping the Constitution, encouraged religion, morality, and knowledge as necessary for good government and happiness, influencing the Bill of Rights. Founders like George Washington emphasized the indispensability of religion and morality for political prosperity, warning against morality without religious principles. Thomas Jefferson supported religious instruction in schools but restricted it to universally agr

Unlike any other country, the United States of America came into the world with a message for mankind that all are created equal and all are meant to be free. There is no American race but only an American creed that affirms the dignity and rights of every person along with equal justice, limited government, the rule of law, personal responsibility, and tolerance toward others. This creed of freedom and equality has lifted the lives of millions of citizens by birth and citizens by choice while drawing friends to the nation and setting its enemies against it. In the 226th year of its independence, American patriotism remains a living faith in which the nation itself becomes God, the Constitution serves as its Bible, the Declaration of Independence functions as its creed, and national holidays stand as sacred days of worship. Washington, D.C., acts as the holy city with the White House, Capitol, Supreme Court, Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials, and Washington Monument as shrines of American greatness and righteousness. The President serves as high priest, the Supreme Court operates as a kind of Sanhedrin, and Congress functions as Nazirites under a vow to serve for a set time. Public service through voting, jury duty, and military participation constitutes a sacred duty, and the nation bears a missionary responsibility to proselytize the whole world toward acceptance of its system of freedom and democracy. A concise definition of idolatry includes putting any nation before the true God, who wants nothing to come between Him and one of His children. The phrase one nation under God requires primary allegiance to God rather than to America, its Constitution, democracy, liberty, equality, justice, law, or tolerance. The simple question remains whether citizens are Christians or Americans first, since citizenship is in heaven from which believers eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform the lowly body to conform to His glorious body according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. Citizens can love the country of their birth or naturalization, cheer its victories, grieve its losses, and enjoy its plenty, freedom, and beauty while ultimately answering to a Higher Power for whom worship must be reserved.

The United States of America was viewed as an imperfect country searching for a better path of life within freedoms that had yet to be fully realized for all men. It was a nation formed in part by people who had fled oppressive regimes around the world. In 1831 two young Frenchmen named Alexis de Tocqueville and Gustave de Beaumont arrived to examine in detail the mechanism of American society. They traveled freely through the republics of states that made union a reality. Over nine months they covered more than four thousand miles and visited all twenty four states as well as the western frontier. They observed a society that had melted into a middle class where freedom remained unrestrained and useful to everyone. Roads canals and mails contributed to prosperity while letters and newspapers reached even isolated cabins at least once a week. Americans appeared single minded and optimistic as they gave names to wilderness areas and watched villages grow into cities. Equality both social and political served as the guiding principle of American life. Young people received equality freedom and independence after early childhood which produced self confident individuals and strengthened family ties. Religion and freedom marched together rather than in opposite directions. Religion prevented people from conceiving or committing rash or unjust acts. Participation in legislation and government allowed citizens to learn laws and the forms of stable democratic rule. The mass of those possessing understanding of public affairs knowledge of laws and a feeling for the best interests of the nation was greater in America than anyplace else in the world. Warnings noted that liberty cannot be established without morality nor morality without faith. Greatness and genius were found not in harbors rivers fields forests mines commerce congress or constitution but in churches where pulpits were aflame with righteousness. America is great because she is good and if America ever ceases to be good she will cease to be great.

The United States of America wins regardless of the evil things it does, such as going to war and killing many people. American citizens justify committing gross evils like war and vicious killings because they believe God is on their side. The spectacular rise of the United States of America to power in the past one hundred years occurs because God is on its side. The faith of Americans is dead because they believe but do not do. Americans cannot keep the Sabbath even though the Sabbath is the only day of the week which God personally identifies Himself with. Regarding spirituality the United States of America is a nation of talkers but not doers. Americans talk the walk but refuse to make the sacrifices in order to walk the walk because they know it is probably going to be costly for them to keep the Sabbath. The United States of America is a very wealthy nation that is going broke and living over its head. As spendthrifts Americans are losing power and the nation is going downhill in terms of its conduct. Persecutions of the godly within the United States of America are intensifying and will continue to intensify. America has always had elements of Christian beliefs as a part of its moral standards. That does not make the United States of America a Christian nation. The Constitution's framers were undoubtedly sincere men who had Christian beliefs in mind when framing the Constitution. They themselves were unconverted carnally sincere men. The length and shadow of the founders is the United States of America. They did not found a Christian nation even though they themselves were reasonably moral people. The Constitution's framers were well educated in terms of history and of the clashes between the Catholic Church and the civil governments in Europe. They did not set out from the beginning to allow any religion to be the government's dictated religion by law. Citizens are constitutionally free to make their choice of religion individually. The combined package of what the framers believed and thus formed their concepts for life's purpose was not the Christianity of the Bible. They were honestly blind to the spiritual truths God did not reveal to them. Thus in personal as well as national conduct they did not follow the steps of Jesus Christ. The United States of America began and has remained just another nation of this world. The government of the United States of America is taking control of everything. In the United States of America almost fifty percent of the people are tied in some way for their income to the government. The government uses the dole to buy votes to remain in power. Evangelicals elected the president as a possible savior to drain the swamp yet the quicksand in the swamp is sucking him and those around him right into the swamp with everybody else.

The United States of America was never a Christian nation. Its founders had no intention of making Christianity the official religion of the country through the constitutional package they organized. Neither the leaders nor the citizens made any formal covenant with God. Although the leadership and citizenry respected what they called Christianity and sincerely practiced aspects of their version of it, what they practiced came through organizations of religious men using some teachings appearing in the Bible that appealed to them. Not one of those organizations was the true religion of God because they did not know God's purpose and God had not called them into that purpose. Each organization's teachings were different from the others also calling themselves Christians. What Abram's descendants do religiously and politically in no way means that God had assigned the United States of America as His nation either then or now. The earliest Americans as a government was being formed in the 1700s, calling themselves Christian, were not practicing Christianity as established by God through Jesus Christ. They were following the way of the world and the revelations of the Protestant Reformation rather than the full truth of God's Word. There is no evidence in profane history that God had a major work of His church underway in colonial times that would have given these people an open door opportunity to make a choice to break away from the world and choose to worship Him. The vastly divided early Christians in the United States of America were not following Jesus Christ except in narrow areas of behavior. They were not converted.

The United States of America is often viewed by Europeans as loud, obnoxious, uncultured, greedy, uninformed and violent. Americans flaunt large amounts of money during vacations abroad. The United States is too powerful and wealthy, and this attitude is seen as arrogance by many abroad. The Clinton Administration has turned easy victories into prolonged fiascoes in Iraq, Serbia, Indonesia and other places. Delegates at the World Economic Forum in Davos expressed resentment toward America's dominance in military, economic and technical spheres. The French Foreign Minister called America the Hyper-power. Protesters attacked a local McDonald's restaurant after failing to storm the conference center. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright warned that America would take its ball and go home if criticism continued. President Bill Clinton's large retinue emphasized American triumphalism during his arrival. Anti-American feeling is rising partly because of America's position and partly because of her people's condescending attitude. Russia, China, Iran, Iraq and North Korea maintain love-hate relationships with the United States. France is among the most vocally anti-American nations. Opinion polls show that many Europeans worry about America as the sole superpower. God prophesies that the Beast power will conquer the nations of Israel currently led by America.

The series addresses whether the United States of America ever was and still is a Christian nation. God planned America as the location where Israelitish people would settle just before the return of Jesus Christ. God set the continent-sized nation virtually empty of people so that Israelitish immigrants could move in and settle it. God had already separated the immigrating Israelites to European nations and moved them where He willed for His purposes. The first permanent colony in the United States of America was established in 1607 at Jamestown Virginia by English Israelites. This occurred during the period when Israelitish scholars in Europe were involved in the Protestant Reformation. A direct connection existed between the Protestant Reformation in Europe and the beginning of the colonization of what is today the United States of America. The religious turmoil in Europe created persecutions against those accepting the reformed religious teachings and led to the formation of Protestant churches. The European religious turmoil barely started the emigration to the new world although some of the religious reason for emigrating remained in the minds of those emigrating for a long time. The first groups came for religious reasons to escape persecution. This period lasted about one hundred years. The initial colonists set the spiritual tone of the colonies from the start. Their spiritual influence provided moral and spiritual guidance for the entire nation from its beginnings until the last one hundred years when that foundation began collapsing under the weight of humanism. Immigration to the United States of America continued virtually unabated during the first one hundred years. Later the lure of material wealth moved the emigration invasion to America. When the Americans began to establish governments in the colonies they founded them on spiritual views aided by political leaders knowledge of British common law. The American leadership was well educated regarding government and the citizens personal responsibility to it. At the same time the leadership was very moral because of the spiritual base from the original colonists. The table in America in the 1700s was being set by God for America not to be part of the British Empire. The government of the United States of America never was in the founders minds to be a Christian nation.

The United States of America has become intensely focused on governmental practices to a fanatical degree. The activities of the Democratic Party along with the media have sought to overturn governments in the United States of America to systems and practices that parallel how much of the world is governed. A bloodless coup has been underway through the means of making laws regulations and court decisions that were far to the liberal left of those standards that guided community life in America in prior generations. The effect has been a transfer of liberties and power by removing individual liberties to make choices concerning how one lives from the individual and giving them to the government. The United States began with a government of the people by the people and for the people. This is what has been in the process of being replaced. The United States of America is part of God's inheritance to His people. It is possible that God founded the United States of America as part of His purpose at the end time. The history of the United States of America has not been taught the way it should have been taught in the university systems of the United States of America and this has come down to the high schools. The people who are now the ancestors of those in the United States of America began immigrating to this land and it began in the 1600s. The first permanent settlement in the United States was in Jamestown Virginia in 1607. God has been working toward what is happening in the United States of America from the very beginning. God planned for the United States of America the British Isles and the rest of the Israelitish nations to be where they are today for the return of His Son Jesus Christ.

The United States of America appears to have gone crazy when judged against what this nation began with and one reads of in history books. In terms of the government, religion, education and family life the United States of America as a culture of these times is literally full of cracks branching out in every direction from numerous beginning points. Virtually every fundamental practice that shapes the American culture shows that the nation is very much not on the same course as in the beginnings of this nation around 1800. Religion is not the only cultural fundamental that has been turned aside from. The American government's school system came to be as it is today because businessmen like Rockefeller Carnegie the Vanderbilts and others met outlined what they desired and then presented their plan to the educators. The American government's school system prepares children for America not God. Those people who join in what is going on in the country right now really have almost no idea what they are involved in. All the joiners really want is a change that they think will be profitable for them personally and given quickly. Few have a historical context to enable them to perceive what they are involved in will produce or where it is headed.

The United States of America was not begun as a Christian nation and never has been one. The founders drew upon a syncretic corruption of true biblical Christianity rather than the religion of Jesus Christ. The nation formed in a new location but was in reality simply another portion of the promises to Abram being fulfilled as God readied His next step toward the return of Jesus Christ. No repetition of a pattern occurred such as the ceremonial trappings of Israel's coming out of a captivity from Egypt. There was no singular leader of the stature of a Moses or a Joshua. No already existing package of laws was given by a voice from on high. No single religion was established through which the founders of this nation and the colonists were commanded to worship. No formal covenant was made with God. The American citizens from the time this nation began did not practice Christianity. Instead they followed the dictates of every man doing what was right in his own eyes. This nation was established simply as a nation of this world and has remained that way.

God has controlled the confusion here in America enough so that things are indeed still confused but super-violent warfare that is now possible with the powerful weapons we are capable of producing has not yet been unleashed upon each other. The reason the present level of confusion exists is because all Americans are not speaking the same things even though we all speak essentially the same language. The same language is clearly not the only issue in good communication. Back in modern America the arguments underway regarding immigration a wall or no wall Republican or Democrat and climate control and carbon levels show that Americans are all speaking English but are not all understanding each other. Americans are absolutely not on the same page with each other. It is as though Americans are speaking different languages. The same is true between the various sides of the cultural arguments taking place here in America. There can be no agreement between Republicans and Democrats and most especially within the ranks of the socialistic radical left which seems to be growing more and more effective in their communication even though history very conclusively shows socialism absolutely never works except for a very short period of time. Yet people hear the message of socialism and think it is their salvation. They are not on the same wavelength as God. He does not promote socialism at all. Mankind always eventually turns to the same solution. If Americans cannot flee the confusion they resort to warfare whether within a family on the streets of the community or between states and nations. That is the direction that America is drifting ultimately because Americans cannot hear each other. Americans are making a lot of noise but are not hearing.

In the United States of America a citizen can do nothing to instigate a war yet finds himself drawn into it because the nation is involved. The current president uses intimidation against North Korea to prevent war while employing warfare tactics to achieve that goal. In the United States of America a republican form of government leads citizens to elect representatives who belong to at least two major political parties with the possibility of a third party forming and a fourth group of leftists seeking to overthrow the government. These divisions establish the potential for warfare within government because the sides do not agree. The United States of America claims to be founded on Christian principles yet has fought as many wars as other nations making no such claim. This witness destroys the claim that America has ever been a Christian nation. Obedience to the laws given through Moses is intended to prevent the very things that are happening now in the United States of America. The nation possesses a huge standing army that creates a strong temptation for the leaders and the people to go to war. The founders of the United States Constitution required that the president be a natural born citizen because they remembered that King George was not a natural born Brit and had alliances with foreign banking interests. A leader who lacks a natural born relationship with those he leads finds his leadership diminished because the lack of relationship hinders him from being at one with those he leads. The counsel given to the king applies to every citizen because each person lives by every word of God and must rule in the same manner when placed in a position of authority over others.

The United States of America maintains a circumcision prevalence rate of about 75 percent among males of all ages. This rate exceeds those of other Israelite nations such as Canada at 32 percent, Australia at 30 percent, France at 14 percent, Finland at 2 to 4 percent, Denmark at 1.6 percent and New Zealand at 0.3 percent. The only Israelite nation with a higher prevalence stands at 90 percent in the State of Israel. Neonatal circumcision incidence in the United States of America declined from 56 percent in 2007 to 30 percent in 2009. Eighteen states have defunded neonatal circumcision through Medicaid with California initiating this policy in 1982. Regional incidence rates vary across the United States of America with the Midwest at just over 76 percent, the Northeast at 64.5 percent, the South at 56.3 percent and the West at about 30 percent. The sovereign God controls population distribution by bundling practitioners of infant circumcision primarily into the Midwest region while placing those least likely to practice it in other areas. High mobility across regions has not produced homogenization of these circumcision statistics.

Movements of people have occurred in the United States of America. People have streamed over the borders from Mexico into Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and California. This migration has involved Latinos from everywhere south of the border crossing illegally. The reasons have involved political citizenship, voting powers, and financial benefits besides employment. Another massive movement has taken place in the United States of America. American citizens have moved elsewhere in the nation due to greed. Numbers are contained within the United States census data. City bankruptcies have occurred such as in Detroit. States have lost population including California, New York State, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Illinois, and New Jersey. Beneficiary states include Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Missouri, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, and South Dakota. These migrations have been caused by lower tax rates in the beneficiary states.

The United States of America faces a cautionary situation similar to that of Greece due to rising debt and near-default risks. The economy of Greece represents only about two percent of that of the United States of America. The United States of America stands as the largest and most heavily indebted among debtor nations. America's fertility rate stands at 2.1 births per woman. By 2041 Americans of European descent will comprise only half of the population. The combined populations of America's minorities will soon surge into majority status. American minorities lack the education or skills to compete for jobs in cutting-edge industries. The education gap remains the same and in some areas is even widening. The U.S. will not be able to maintain its dominance in most areas that matter. Nearly half of America's citizens pay no taxes. The unemployment rate is creeping toward ten percent. Forty-four million people nearly fifteen percent receive food stamps. Social Security already pays out more than it takes in. The U.S. owes a national debt upwards of $14.5 trillion in addition to about the same amount of private debt along with student loan debt state indebtedness and unfunded pension plans. The largest generation of Americans ever the Baby Boomers is beginning to retire. American leaders are acting like children in their attempts to solve the debt problem politically.

Southern Christianity has contributed to a sizable migration of Christians from Latin America, Oceania, Asia, and Africa into the United States of America. These immigrants have increased the membership of Catholic parishes and Pentecostal churches with pious, essentially fundamental and evangelical traditionalists. As a result, the face of American Christianity has gradually mutated from a doctrinally liberal White Anglo-Saxon Protestant institution of formal mainline denominationalism into a dynamic phenomenon of Pentecostal fervor often sponsored by small, unaffiliated sects. Non-denominationalism has run amok, and conservatism has experienced an upsurge. All this is a totally unforeseen result of the Immigration Reform Act of 1965. Liberals have watched with irritated consternation as their scheme to dilute Christianity to the point of statistical insignificance has yielded precisely the opposite result. Their plan to secularize American culture and to diversify it has sunk under the tide of Christian immigrants. Although the United States of America is less religiously diverse than most Middle and Far Eastern nations, and although non-Christian groupings in aggregate constitute only about 5 percent of the American population, the liberal-controlled media unceasingly paints America as religiously diverse. It goes out of its way to run stories that suggest an inflated influence of non-Christian groups, while at the same time implying that Christianity is culturally irrelevant. In an amazing exhibition of His sovereignty, God has turned the tables on the Satan-inspired, godless social engineers. God used their scheme to modify immigration regulations to accomplish His own purposes. Southern Christianity is certain to contribute to the gulf that is developing between the United States of America and Europe. This separation would provide the motivation, the rationale, behind the Beast's attack on America. God's church understood that America and Europe would eventually develop deeply opposing interests. This divergence, together with widening cultural and religious gaps, would generate a gigantic crack in the long-standing Atlantic Alliance between North America and Europe. The rift would tear the Alliance apart, ultimately becoming so cavernous as to lead to outright war. Southern Christianity has the potential to amplify the conflict between Christianity and Islam. The majority of the current immigrants to America are overwhelmingly Christian. The Gentile folk infiltrating North America are coming out of two different and opposing religious traditions from those entering Europe. Sparks will surely fly. In time, it will be America's new fundamentalism that will generate the seismic forces capable of demolishing the substratum of agreement between America and Europe. The vast influx of Southern Christians into America has already made these immigrants' views politically significant. Well before 2020, they will be in a position to reshape American domestic and foreign policy dramatically. By 2050, there will be about 100 million Americans of Latino descent, mostly Catholics and Pentecostals of a conservative bent, along with millions of like-minded African and Asian immigrants. This new and robust political power structure will reshape foreign and domestic policy in decidedly conservative and traditionalist directions in the opposite direction of the European liberal leadership. Southern Christianity already abhors the European establishment, which it sees as corrupt and godless. Once it becomes a muscular power block in this country, Southern Christianity will push America away from what it sees as the morally perverse plain of irreligion we call Europe. Far more than most commentators realize, Southern Christianity is poised to play a major role in bringing about the cleavage between the two continents. Southern Christianity could well provide the impetus for the eventual expulsion of God's church from America. Southern Chris

The United States of America has taken a definite turn toward the nonsensical. Americans pride themselves on being grounded and self-sufficient with a can-do attitude that can solve any problem. Four centuries of history on this continent chronicle the efforts of a nation of pioneers and achievers in just about every area of endeavor. Americans filled a continent, fed the world, split the atom, and put men on the moon. Americans built the world's most powerful military and became the world's lone superpower. Much of this occurred because men and women used sound knowledge and reason to find ways that work. Soundness of mind appears to be rare in the United States of America these days. America's loss of her senses seems to be a true pandemic. All over the country and in many different areas of life people are making foolish choices based not on facts and outcomes but on hopes and fears. Americans terminate 1.2 million unborn children each year. In a nation that hallows the concepts of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness legal euthanasia which voters in Oregon passed is questioned as wise. Six states now allow homosexual unions of one sort or another. More than 12 million illegal aliens live within the borders of the United States of America draining resources and asking for more. Americans rack up personal debt to the tune of nearly $24,000 per individual. Americans save nearly nothing. Many Americans throw good money after ridiculously bad odds in state lotteries and gambling casinos. Homes in the United States of America are often under water to the point that some are simply walking away from them. Many Americans moan and gripe about the cost of healthcare yet rarely fail to stop at a fast-food restaurant. A general lack of exercise, sedentary habits, addictions like smoking and heavy alcohol consumption, sexual promiscuity and other risky behaviors as well as high-pressure jobs lead many Americans to be obese, lazy, stressed, and ill. The healthcare industry has become a behemoth comprising one-sixth of America's economy. Obamacare is mindboggling in its absurdity.

The United States of America was founded with the intention that the people would govern themselves as stated in the preamble of the Constitution. Abraham Lincoln affirmed that the nation has a government of the people by the people and for the people. The first seven words of the preamble declare that the people of the United States established the Constitution. John Adams warned that democracy never lasts long and soon wastes exhausts and murders itself. He added that the Constitution is made only for a moral and religious people and is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. Historians note that the average life of a democracy is two hundred years. Over time the individual citizens' beliefs regarding religion and morality changed and they withdrew from governing themselves. The government and the governed became two separate entities. The Constitution is now ignored except by the few who care. A very large portion of the administration in higher offices no longer cares what the Constitution says. The nation is within a gnat's eyelash of being a dictatorship with government merely by executive orders. Regulations flow from minor departments without going through Congress.

Washington, D. C. has the highest per capita totals of homosexuals, adulterers, and thieves in the United States of America. Washington, D. C. is the capital of prostitution, adultery, and thievery per capita in the United States of America. The United States of America used to produce great things because God was blessing the nation. As departure from God and His moral standards has spread to every aspect of the nation's life God has withdrawn His blessings and the United States of America is dropping from the head to the tail. National sins in the United States of America are resulting in the fulfillment of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28. The United States of America needs repentance and a major turning to God in obedience. When God sees that the repentance is serious the solutions will be given and blessed by Him.

Progressives in the United States pursue environmental initiatives such as the promotion of electric vehicles and bans on plastic drinking straws not primarily to achieve measurable reductions in pollution but to shift public consciousness and behavior. These efforts, evident in actions by cities including Seattle, which fines businesses for providing plastic straws, and Santa Barbara, which imposes jail time for violations, extend to considerations in New York City and approximately fifteen other municipalities. The approach conditions Americans to accept restrictions on everyday items, framing such measures as moral imperatives while overlooking data showing that straws constitute as little as 0.1 percent of urban litter in comparable audits and none in surveys of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Instead, substantial ocean plastic originates from industrial fishing and Asian nations. This pattern serves political ends by aligning voters with progressive priorities, fostering a broader coercion toward unified thought and conduct across American society rather than addressing root causes through rational means.

Since its founding, the United States of America has often faced disagreement, debate, and division among its leaders and constituents. Though many disagreements have sparked impassioned debates over the years, rarely has the vitriol between opposing sides reached the level seen today. History recounts the infamous duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr in 1804, which ended with Burr killing his Federalist opponent, Hamilton, over political feuds including Federalism and Democratic-Republicanism. Nearly sixty years later, the American Civil War, fought over similar issues of central government versus states' rights, resulted in approximately 800,000 lives lost, the bloodiest war in American history. Union troops defeated the Confederacy, but the nation paid another price with the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth, a Confederate supporter. In time, most Americans learned to favor compromise, settling differences with words and votes rather than violence, as high-minded politicians esteemed statesmanship over conflict. However, the 1960s marked another tumultuous decade with protests against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and unresolved racial discrimination, leading to violent confrontations, riots, and deaths. Despite the strain, compromise and cooler heads prevailed. Each of these periods shared a commonality: the disputes were presented as existential, questioning how the nation is defined, how right and wrong are determined, and how governance should function. By 2026, America faces great civil turmoil again, with debates designed for division and little room for compromise. The assassination of Charlie Kirk and attempted assassinations of President Trump highlight a refusal to coexist, with compromise welcomed only if the other side yields. The primary divide is between Nationalists, who favor traditional governance, defined borders, and American sovereignty, and Globalists, who seek to blur borders, promote unfettered immigration, and abandon traditional values and national sovereignty. From 2021 through 2024, America experienced an unsustainable influx of illegal immigrants, with an estimated eleven to twenty million crossing the southern border, facilitated by globalist-leaning politicians. This has cost billions in taxpayer dollars and uncovered widespread fraud within the immigration industry, allegedly benefiting those same politicians. The current White House aims to deport many of these immigrants and investigate the fraud, increasing animosity from opponents while allies demand persistence. Fierce clashes occur on America's streets between U.S. Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and illegal immigrants with their allies. Several states and municipalities, including Minnesota, Washington, California, Illinois, New York, Oregon, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, New York City, and Minneapolis, have declared themselves sanctuaries for illegal immigrants, obstructing deportation efforts in opposition to the administration. The political vitriol is deafening, with lawsuits piling up and calls for violent upheaval. State and federal courts and legislatures grapple with what some call the greatest Constitutional crisis since the Civil War. Observers question if America is approaching a point of no return, potentially leading to another bloody conflict, which some believe is the desired outcome of Globalists to weaken the U.S. for their international goals. Others declare globalism dead in America, leaving the question of whether Americans possess the will for a protracted conflict or if cooler heads will prevail.

U.S. President Donald Trump angered European leaders with the release of his National Security Strategy, a document critical of Europe's recent decline. It questions whether the continent will still be "European" in a few decades, as the massive influx of migrants from the global south, many of them Islamic, changes the nations' principles and cultures. Richard Ritenbaugh urges Christians to watch for signs of fracture in the long-standing Western Alliance.
