We’ll this is interesting…”Christian nationalism?”

Holy Trinity vs. The United States 1892

Supreme Court Justice David Brewer, in an opinion about a church that hired a clergyman from England, declared that the United States was a "Christian nation" in ruling for the church despite a law that made the hiring technically illegal. Brewer's opinion said America was 'a Christian nation'. Brewer added that a legislature representing a religious people would certainly not take action against religion. He provided an overview of references to God in official documents from U.S. history, beginning with the commission to Christopher Columbus and continuing through colonial charters, state constitutions, and oaths of office.

The US WAS a Christian nation. Based on the government's actions lately, I can't see how the US can still be considered a Christian nation. It seems like the government always acts contrary to the Bible now, so the government, if not the people, is definitely anti-Christian.

I'm leaning more towards time for the rapture. I'd be all in on this point if a few more family members and friends, especially my youngest son, would accept Jesus.

Your a premil huh? I’m not of the escapist mindset. I believe we’re still the early church. The church has gone through much worse times than this historically. Psalm 110 1

The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." King Jesus, who sits at the right hand of God is ruling and resigning now. Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as is it in heaven.

The Lord has many people to save indeed. The gospel must be continued to be preached 🙏

I used to hate reading Revelation because it seemed so confusing (particularly after going through the 7 churches). I couldn't figure out what it meant. It didn't make sense that people all over the world could see what is happening or that buying and selling could be controlled. Now with crypto currencies, smart phones, mRNA viruses that can be made in a lab, etc., reading Revelation is like watching the evening news. I do think the time is near, but exactly what near means is, of course, harder to determine. Is it days, years, decades? I don't know, but I don't think it will be centuries.

Of course I could be wrong. There were people in the past (more than 1,000 years ago) that thought they were living in the end times. Still, we seem to have all of the technology and global organizations to make Revelation a reality. Time will tell.
