You bring back a memory of mine. An excellent biography I read about the Lincolns
ReplyDeletealso mentioned President Lincoln's
love for Israel and his desire to see Jerusalem. I believe this developed after he
became a Christian in response to the
trauma of losing their little boy, Tad, I believe his name was. This will not be made known to Americans in the mainstream media, naturally!
How can we explain our nation's phenomenal rise
to greatness in so short a time and its
unparalleled prosperity and the superpower status
added except
the blessing of this nation by God through our
support of Israel? If we say it is because of our
own goodness and our own efforts, then we
are most foolish, as many other nations in history have had greater
resources to begin with, and more
people, and better conditions for development, than
the colonies, yet America has surpassed them all
in every category. Foreigners who came specifically to find out the secret of America's peerless success
concluded that it was the Bible, the
preaching of righteousness in America's pulpits,
that produced our success. Now that our government leadership and the society at large are abandoning the Bible and the Ten Commandments, we see we are in grave trouble, do we not? It is clear that the curse is coming upon us, promised those nations who turn against the Bible, against
God's commandments, and against Israel. Our greatness can evaporate in a few seconds!
When everything is electronics-based that a civilization depends upon for its very existence,
there is no insurance policy that can save us, nor any Carbonite-type computer backup that will restore what is
lost when the whole system crashes. That crash
may come soon, any minute.
The peril we are in exceeds even what Lincoln
and the Union faced when the southern states seceded and plunged the whole nation into civil war.
Thank God, he is merciful and will still hear us if we cry to him, sincerely repenting of our sins
in this crisis. That is my only hope.--Ron Ginther
