Subject: The United Stated in the Bible |
Bible Note: Shalom Doc, I've already discussed this with John. I had trouble with the quote and the portrayal of any country in it. I got lost in it. As far as any assumptions, I go with Gen. 12:3 plus others that escape me at the moment. I believe that God views Israel and the nations. If we are born-again of Messiah then we, as individuals are viewed, individually, as part of Israel (and just as 10 righteous people could have saved Sodom, they can also save the nations in which they live today). But nationally, believing individuals may suffer along with those nations who rise up against Israel. I believe that Jer. 31:35-37 and 33:19-26 is still God's heart (concerning physical Israel and those who have spiritually joined themselves to Israel). He hasn't changed. I'm nowhere near as good at words as you are, Doc, so I hope I didn't mess this up too much.... :o) My main trouble, again, was the connection with the quote and the attempt to "see" any given country linked to it...
