For 248 years, the United States of America has generally served as a platform for God’s grace to this fallen world. It was founded on Biblical principles and was a beacon of Godly life and liberty. Although led by flawed individuals, those principles had a profound influence on the actions taken by them on behalf of this nation.

Thousands upon thousands have paid with their lives that we might preserve those principles and arrive at this point in our history!

A Clear and Present Danger

Over the years, an organized effort has sought to remove the influence of those principles and establish ungodly standards as the benchmark for our behavior at both the individual and national levels. In verse 4 of our national anthem, we find:

“Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust”:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

This clearly expresses the truth of our existence, as a nation, we were made, and have been preserved as a nation by the power of God, almighty! While we placed our trust in God, we have been preserved as a nation; now that we are nationally turning our backs on God, our existence is open to serious question!

A Time of Crisis!

The national elections in 2024 may well represent a significant turning point in the history of our country; we have two diametrically opposed candidates representing two polar opposites in party and governmental philosophy.

The choices made in this national election will either move us closer to our founding principles or move our nation down a path to its destruction!

I have previously published an essay on a scenario where the United States was no longer a world power! The Bible has no reference to the United States in prophetic verses describing the last days.

It may well be the United States does not have too many more birthdays left; only God knows the answer to that question and the answer will be devastating to those left behind!
