A veil of deception has fallen upon three divisions of Americans in the last 50 years:  those who view themselves as intellectually (educationally) superior, those who believe they are victims, and upon those who are simply not paying attention.  As the currencies of the world are being manipulated into failure by powerful men under the influence of the satanic spirit of the age, the one beacon of the hope of freedom and prosperity in the world is beginning to crumble.  The United States of America is a house divided between those hoping in humanistic ideals for solutions, and those believing in the unchanging Word of God, Which is the foundation of this once stalwart nation.

The Constitution of the United States was written and signed by Godly men as a reflection of the Kingdom to come.  It was basically meant to be the living tenets of the spiritual freedom we have in Christ, to be lived out as Americans.  A large majority of the founding fathers said as much, and it is unmistakably documented.  As such, reflecting the Gospel of the Bible, it is not a fluid document that can be buffeted by the winds of change, but rather, was purposed to be the anchor that holds our rights firmly when differing ideals and politics seek to pull us away.  Certainly, any American has the right to think anything they want, and to live any way they choose, provided it does not harm another's rights.  This is where it can get muddy if we do not continuously revisit the original purpose of these United States, which was laid out in the founding documents.

We have freedom of speech, which I employ now, to say whatever I think.  Because of the freedom of the press, we can publish or broadcast those thoughts; anyone can, not just CNN and the "Big Three."  The individual or groups can worship any or no god because of freedom of religion.  And many other freedoms such as lifestyle choices, have existed in the past and continue to be lived out.  Everyone has NEVER agreed with everyone else.  But every American citizen has always been free to live, think, and speak as they choose.  And, according to our founding documents, those rights come from the Judeao-Christian God, Whom the world has known, and much of it has rejected. 

Currently, much is being made of the Second Amendment, which is the right of American citizens to keep and bear arms.  Our founding fathers struggled against a tyrranical government, which sought to impede the God-given rights of common man, so that it's will would prevail, and not the will of the people.  That is plainly the issue with the Second Amendment today.  Two specific words were penned:  keep and bear.  The tyrranical government sought to remove weapons from the common man, and imposed harsh punishments, even execution, upon those who owned firearms, which could be used against the tyrannical government.  The right to keep arms was, and is to keep the strong arm of force on the side of the people, always, so that any government would be checked by the populace and not overstep its Constitutional boundaries.  The right to bear arms means the right of individuals to use those arms in defense of the people against any force that might attempt to subvert their rights, a criminal, a gang, or its own government.  If we lose the right to keep and bear arms, all the other rights listed in the founding documents will be lost, as well.  It is plain there has been a multi-faceted attack on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights from both sides of the aisle.

The accurate state of the Union of the U.S. is splintered at best.  Financially, we are ruined.  Though it appears as there is hope of recovery, the recovery will be from a total abolition of the U.S. currency, and a new world currency will emerge.  Politically, the same will happen.  The Constitution will diminish in a haze of violent events, such as Sandy Hook, distracting citizens from an accurate sense of justice; a twisting of the minds of Americans, by the government lapdog media.  We, the people are becoming out-gunned and out-maneuvered by our own government.  Our's has long since ceased being a government by the people and for the people.  It is a government for some people, but not all.  What Thomas Jefferson warned of being the downfall of our nation has befallen us. 

This can be a little disturbing without proper perspective.  The United States, in all her glory, in all her struggles and triumphs, was doomed to fail,  like all other experiments in higher ways of living with common man being represented in government and free.  The sins of Greece caught up with it, and God used the Roman government until its sins caught up with it; and so on.  The German people a generation before Hitler had not an inkling that one man could turn their peaceful, orderly German Empire into a world threat and a hell on earth for its own people.  These empires were doomed because of sin, the broken relationship between God and man.  The millenia of God using nations to punish the sin in other nations is coming to an end.  The New Babylon is poised, ready, which is the New World Order, a one world government.  Soon God will have to face off with the whole world, Himself, to delve out justice.

A true American Patriot is like a true Jew, who Jesus saw in a man named Nathanael.  Nathanael was a dyed-in-the-wool Jewish Patriot, and had vision.  He was first a Patriot of Heaven, then of Israel.  He had vision that cut to the heart of the current events of his day.  He could see what was really going on through all the haze of the Romans, the Zealots, the Pharisees, and the people.  When Jesus saw him coming, he said of him to the others around, "There is a true Jew in whom there is nothing false." 

There is plenty that is false about everyone.  That is the broken relationship with God.  But the first Americans acknowledged their sin, applied God's solution to it, a confessing faith in the life, the death on the cross for the atonement of mankind's sin, and resurrection of Christ Jesus, the hope of eternal life and purpose.  They wanted to become a reflection of the Kingdom God is building.  It is a Kingdom of truth, not deception.  It is a Kingdom of peace, not of violence.  Jesus refrained from excercising His Omnipotent power upon those who killed Him, those thinking they were preserving their own kingdoms by doing so; neither to the Romans, nor to the Jews.  Jerusalem destroyed itself before the Roman army got there, just 40 years after Christ's death (Jewish historian Josephus).  He looked down on them all and prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they do not understand what they have done."  Indeed, those in authority currently do not know what they are doing.  But God's Kingdome is a Kingdom of love (1st John 4.10), not of rage.  It is a Kingdom of the heart.  Heaven and earth is passing away.  That certainly includes these grand United States of America.  But the person (people) who focuses on and executes God's will (1st John 4.7,8) will live forever.
