Nations of Faith

Nations of Faith

Israel was the first nation of faith! The point of the Law and the Tabernacle in the wilderness as GOD revealed them to Moses was so that the descendants of Abraham, the first man of faith after the flood would walk in like faith as GOD established them as the people of His promise to Abraham. Abraham was a man of great faith in GOD whom GOD called His friend.

The fact that the descendants of Abraham could not or would not walk in faith after 430 years of living in Egypt, most of them as slaves, was not because they did not know who GOD was but because they did not know GOD. They did not have a faith relationship with Him, they had a crying out for help relationship.

The 40 years of wilderness allowed the unbelieving generation to die off and prepared the generation of faith to enter the promised land. But, the years of war caused some to lose faith and they desired peace so they stopped serving the will of GOD for them as a nation. This was the result of faithless and unfaithful persons, families and tribes which began with Achan at Ai, their second battle, and it continued until their destruction by the Romans in 90AD.

A large part of Jesus’ earthly ministry to Israel was to restore their faith in GOD as their Heavenly Father, knowing that for the most part they would not and that they would be destroyed as a nation and remain scattered for 1,858 years.

The United States of America is the second nation of faith! GOD gave Christopher Columbus a vision of the world being round and that he could sale west and not fall off the edge of the earth. In 1492 he followed the vision that GOD gave him and discovered the New World. Less than 284 years later the English colonies in America declared their independence from the oppressive rule of England.

This followed almost 200 years of colonization by both secularist and Christians, many of those who rebelled under the oppressive rule of the English government did so because of their faith in GOD and their belief in the right to live according to the teachings of the Bible. The new United States of America formed their government and rules of law based on the teachings of the Bible making it the second and at that time the only nation of faith.

In the last 70 years, the length of time since Israel became a nation the United States of America has declined as a nation of faith.

There are now two nations of faith, Israel and the USA, both of which are as much secular as they are of faith based. While there are other nations that have a Christian faith based government and/or society their world wide influence remains small. But both Israel and the USA are under attack from the universalist nations that dominate the earth today. These nations want a single or one world government, thought most do not understand that this will be the government of the anti-christ. Only the elite of the one world movement understand the truth and believe that they can prevent the return of Christ by ruling the world. This is the deception that the devil whispers in the ears of those who are vain, greedy and self-appointed.

As believers in Jesus Christ as the messiah or savior of humanity it is our responsibility to be light and salt and to bring the truth of GOD’s eternal Kingdom to those who live in the darkness of the deception that will destroy them. We are not saved to wait and go to Heaven someday, we are saved to do the will of GOD in the earth as it is in Heaven. The will of GOD is the preparing of the Bride of Christ to reign with Jesus for eternity from the new Heaven and new Earth in the new Jerusalem. Not everyone will be part of GOD’s eternal Kingdom, most in fact will reject salvation and end up in eternal damnation.

So what is the point? The point is to share and teach as many people as possible the truth of salvation in Christ Jesus to deny satan as many souls as possible by bringing them out of the darkness of death in to the light of life.

Jesus is the Light, the Life and the Love that redeems from death to life. The great commission is to take the truth of the Gospel to the whole world and Jesus is the Truth. The Gospel is the revelation of Jesus Christ.
