Bible Question:
Can God Bless America? "If God were to bless America as everybody seems to want Him to do, it might look very different than we would expect. "Will God bless America? "Can God bless America? Should God bless America? "And if God did bless America, what would He be saying about His holiness? If God did bless America, what would He be saying about our morality? About our spiritual condition? "Could God bless America and protect His reputation as holy God" (John MacArthur)? |
Bible Answer: Hi, kalos! I think that it is only wishful thinking. Such as when people pray for their team/boxer to win... I see the same conumdrum facing Christians when they call: Maran atha! Jesus warned of things to come and He said that for the sake of the elect everything would unfold gradually and not all at once! Yet, when we call for His Second Coming, aren't we asking for the full effect to take place? How ready are we (all Christians of the world) to face an all-out-end-of-times visitation from God? God Bless! Angel |
