...ONE NATION UNDER GOD

". . . one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Who is the God mentioned in our pledge of allegiance? The God mentioned here is the only true God - the God who created the earth and all things therein, and mankind as His crowning act. He is the God who loved us so much, that from the beginning He gave us the freedom of choice, the freedom to love, and the freedom to worship and obey Him. He does not force us to do anything! We are free moral agents to choose Him or choose Satan, His number one enemy. Satan, on the other hand, cannot grant freedom of choice because he is void of all love and compassion. All who choose not to serve God will choose to serve Satan, and the working out of his plans in their lives.

Our nation was founded under the one true God and upon His principle of freedom of choice with liberty and justice for all. America is the greatest nation on earth, and will continue to be a great power for good as long as she does not violate this great principle she was founded upon. And yes, she even extends this freedom of choice to her enemies! And it is this freedom that led wicked men to carry out the massacre of September 11, 2001.

Do not be afraid! The Muslims have already had their day of glory. For centuries they were a great power, and may continue to terrorize to some degree, but in the book of Revelation, long before the latest terrorist attacks, God predicted that the Muslims would be a united civil and religious power that would rise and fall. Her rise began in 1299 A.D. and she fell on August 11, 1840. The followers of Muhammad ruled the entire Arab world and many Christian countries during that time, but God never predicted that Islam would conquer our country because the United States is the last great super power spoken of in the Bible.

God predicted the rise and fall of great civilizations before it happened so that we would know that He is in control of our lives. Great kingdoms such as Babylon, the Medes and Persians, Greece, and the Roman Empire would come and go as foretold in the book of Daniel. The Holy Scriptures and history can prove it all. Yes! Even the rise of our great nation was predicted in the Bible long before it came into existence. It was prophesied that America would be a haven for the pilgrims who were searching for a land where they would be able to worship God according to the dictates of conscience. They looked for a land without a king and a church without a pope - thus she became a Protestant republic. In freedom her citizens worshipped the God of the Bible and formed a civil government that protected them from criminals within their own country and abroad.

Whenever nations, states, religions, or individuals violate a person's freedom of choice, they exalt themselves above God, and walk on dangerous ground. In the Muslim religion, separation of church and state is a foreign thought, and is the reason for all the atrocities perpetrated against its own people and for its desire to take down America. The success of the United States is owed to the First Amendment to its constitution, that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . ." When America enforces religious laws that violate freedom of choice, then she will no longer be under God's favor.

From the beginning of creation our loving heavenly Father has been interested in bestowing upon his creatures rich blessings. In the first two chapters of Genesis we find many rich gifts God gave to us: The sun, the moon, the stars, the water, all the animals and vegetation. He wanted His creation to have all these wonderful gifts to remember Him as the Creator of all. And to seal the week of His creation God gave us His best gift, the gift that denotes Himself as Creator. That best gift is His special day of rest: "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work, which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work, which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made" (Genesis 2:1-3). Only the God of Creation is the kind and loving Father who can give such a gift. In the moral law, again God reminds His children of the blessing He placed in their hands when He gave them the seventh day of rest. "Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy, six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hollowed it" (Exodus 20:8-11). The seventh day is a gift from God to His children both now and through eternity. When our civil government, influenced by Sunday-keeping Protestants, enforces Sunday, the first day of the week, as a day to worship God, and she does not give those who choose to worship God on the seventh day their freedom of choice, then our nation will loose God's favor.

Bible prophecy indicates that the great controversy between good and evil is building to a climax. Soon Jesus will come to rescue those who have surrendered their lives to Him. Will you be one of them? Please dear friend, if you haven't already, invite Him to take complete control of your life. Do it now! You will be eternally thankful that you did.

  1. Hello Arsenio and all,

    The Three Faiths of Abraham have long been used to confound the truth about what has been occurring in recent years. Think seven last plagues, seventh angel, etc., hence Karma will now kick in with a vengeance. Humanity's addiction to money, politics, and religion (the "three unclean/foul spirits") is about to pay huge negative dividends.

    Now our, deceptive so-called leaders, and primary institutions are in for a very rude awakening.

    Here is Wisdom !!
