Dear Americans! Remember
the Declaration of Independence.
The US is a nation which was established by God of justice and retribution. As God is a judge for the weak, fatherless and the widows (Ps 68:5), God saved Israel by hearing complaints about injustice and cry of the Israelite people who were abused in Egypt. Like this, God allowed American independence by hearing it cry out about receiving unfair treatment and exploitation as one of the British colonies 240 years ago. Therefore, the founding principle of America described in the Declaration of Independence is that all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Men organized governments to protect these rights. However, the founding principle of forefathers is fading away in the US of today as the nation celebrated 240 years of independence, whereas idols such as ethnic chauvinism, racism due to black and white issues, etc. are set up in that place; and antagonism, conflict, division and hatred are promoted among people, which are triggering the wrath of God.
Idolatry in the Old Testament means to worship stone, wood; or to make any form of a man, an animal, etc. and to worship it instead of God, whereas idolatry of today means to be pleased with immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed which are members of the earthly body as well as any form; and all activities to fulfill man’s desires by worshiping these things like God, departing the Lord’s commandment to “love your neighbor as yourself”, which is God’s Law. Among many trends, the typical trends are ethnic chauvinism, racism, the trend to exclude other ethnic groups, etc. Like this, while God gives blessings, He turns to curse right away if people depart from love which is God’s Law and worship an idol (Dt 28:63). Specially, when a Christian country departs from the word of God without keeping it, God will execute law stage by stage (Lev 26:16-32). The first stage is to strike the Christian country through an alien nation. In other words, the alien nation rises rapidly.
“The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as the eagle swoops down, a nation whose language you shall not understand (Dt 28:47-50).
When the soul of Christianity declined in the midst of plenty and Americans left the word of God, the sense of crisis regarding the US could fall in all fields such as politics, economy, etc. has been heightened; and China, an alien country, became a big threat to the US by a rapid rise at the same time. All of the rapid rise of such alien countries in economy, military, science, etc. is God’s whip and rod to call His children to come back.
Now, in order not to receive such whip and rod from God, the US must return to love, the God’s Law. When the US keeps the Lord’s commandment, “love your neighbor as yourself”, the US can break down idols such as racial discrimination including ethnic chauvinism and black and white issues; and returns to God’s Law again.
The background that the US could grow into the most powerful superpower in the world is due to the services of the predecessors of faith. They scrimped on a spoonful of coffee and sugar; and a handful of flour to feed, clothe, serve, and give to the needy in poor countries like myself. The US must return to such spirit of love again. Only then, the US can keep ‘justice’ which is the requirement of being the most powerful superpower in the world.
For the last eight years, the US has re-established justice which had been lost with great difficulty and it has been recognized from the world. At this point, if the US returns to ‘America first’, the future of the US can never be guaranteed. Therefore, justice should be continuously inherited also in the next government without fail.
In the global trend, today women leaders are scrambling to come out and they are leading the world. In the age of extreme selfishness and cold-heartedness like today, women leaders who instinctively possess potential maternal love should be produced. The US is no exception to this. As recorded in the Bible that the Lord had created a new thing in the earth—a woman would encompass a man (Jer 31:22), He foretold the production of women leaders through the symbolism of the Statue of Liberty 130 years ago. It does not mean every woman, but means women leaders who brighten up the world with the true spirit of the US as freedom, the torch of salvation and justice by taking the Declaration of Independence as a basis. The Lord hopes that the US will newly carry out the mission of watchman for the order and freedom of the US and the world from now on, starting from such leaders. I deliver in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that American churches and Christians should not neglect the word of Jesus Christ and not lose the candlesticks of God’s inheritance.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.
To the only God be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
