The Hidden Reality

Notwithstanding the secularizing phrenzy of our time, “Make America Great Again” or Build Back Better” cannot be achieved without leading America to be reverential to “God Almighty”, the “Alpha and Omega”, “I AM WHO I AM,” emphasized that “I, I am He.” “I am life and existence in bold capitals.” No other being in the universe approaches that. Any attempt to adopt a god beside Him is a delusion; there are none. It is leadership in the attributes or character of Jesus Christ, not theocratic autocracy, absolutism, or the abandonment from faith and trust in God, which can accomplish that. 

We as Americans can equivocate about all this as long as we want, but we will be nothing more than Caligula whose licentiousness was draining the Roman treasury faster than he could replenish it, or Nero fiddling while Rome burned all around him through taxation, extortion, or Nebuchadnezzar II’s worldly indulgence or Czar Nicholas II, who earned the ire of his people by failed reforms, disastrous wars, and suppression of dissent. Those leaders mentioned and others of like ilk learned by actual experience that they were not a god. Few phenomena reveal the depths to which we have sunk but that Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan, aka his “Jobs and Economic Recovery Plan” is acclaimed by various groups as the best we’ve got. What I see in America are its political, professorial, pansophical, pulpitarian apostates who betray or abandon the faith and founding principles for which America was established. Have you, the reader, not witnessed the perversion of truth to fit a political agenda? Have you the reader noticed that many of this nation’s leaders live life counter to the ideals set in place for Christianity? Have you, the reader, noticed how many of our prominent socio-political influencers often live lives marked by pride, flattery, cause division, and are more focused on things of the world than things from above?

Lest we forget the words of Samuel Adams, one of America’s founding fathers: “Let divines and philosophers, statesmen and patriots, unite their endeavors to renovate the age, by impressing on people the importance of educating their little boys and girls, of inculcating in the minds of youth the fear and love for the Deity and universal philanthropy, and in subordination to these great principles the love of their country; of instructing them in the art of self-government, without which they can never can be a wise part  in the government of societies, great or small; in short of leaving them in the study and practice of exalted virtues of the Christian system.”

The bottom line: it is neither Caligula’s and Nero’s degenerate and decadent Rome, or Nebuchadnezzar’s worldly and evil Neo-Babylonian Empire, or Czar Nickolas failed reforms. At the moment, it appears those who govern America have chosen Rome and Babylon.  For America to be “great again” we must look deeper than slogans and seek the hidden reality. America cannot be great again by God’s standards until it has become godly again in its core worldview and values.
