December 7th is the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan in 1941. That attack, 79 years ago, caused a giant that was at peace with her neighbors to go into a war that already begun years ago when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939. America was very different then. Christianity was still very strong in America in 1941 as the reason for a prayer meeting before FDR's day of infamy speech the next day. America didn't want to fight a war as was said by FDR in his fireside chat when Hitler invaded Poland. Sure America became neutral for a time, but that didn't last long; for when Japan was told by Germany to attack Pearl Harbor, it took considerable time to plan and execute. Japan wanted the spoils of victory after the war was over, and expected to defeat America in the war. Unfortunately for the axis powers, that did not happen. America and the world was saved by the might of God's chosen people, and a God that strengthen their arms for war as was promised in genesis that He would do for Joseph's descendants.
79 years has past since that fateful day in infamy that turned a depressed nation into an industrial giant, many things had changed since that time. Martin Luther King Jr changed the nation and the world with his 'I have a dream' speech, and his marches for freedom to end segregation. President-elect Johnson gave his Great society speech and witnessed the first Americans on the moon. Nixon was elected and due to Watergate resigned. Ford, Carter, and eventually Ronald Reagan came into the scene to face off against nuclear threats by the Soviet Union. The Berlin Wall fell, and eventually the Soviet Union collapsed. God has saved the Union again. But, this generation knows not the horrors of war in Europe or the threat of nuclear holocaust--although the 9/11 attacks was a wake up call. America has been prosperous unlike any other nation in history, and it's because of our covenant with our Creator that the founders made on July 4th 1776. God was our God and We were His people. George Washington saw that when he made his first act as President to dedicate the nation to God at St Paul's Chapel in New York City.
America is not the same as it once was. The cracks in our foundation are being revealed: Abortions, homosexual marriage, rioting, looting, porn, corruption everywhere--even in church--sex trafficking, and many other abominations that we do to weep our Creator and spit at the covenant the Founders made. There's talk of civil war--well that has been done before and 700,000 Americans both north and south died from that war. The deadliest American war in our history. Why did we fight it? what was the purpose of brother going against brother? The south said state's rights, and the north said slavery, but to a Just God it was Punishment for our national sins. Lincoln knew that and proclaimed a fast to humble the nation to prayer and fasting and repentance. God wanted the abomination of slavery to end in America, and Lincoln did so to bring about the end of the war between the states and to save the union.
This covid virus should help us to look at ourselves and what we are doing to deserve the punishment due us for our sins as a individual and as a nation. Although many people died from the virus, many millions more babies in the womb died from abortions, and it's still happening. How can we be so stout and steadfast about protecting ourselves from a virus, but not protecting the unborn from being murdered? What are our priorities America? We fought and defeated the Nazis two generations before, and in this generation, socialists and Nazis try their best to destroy America from our own people. History is forgotten or corrupted by people who claim they know the truth, but are liars. American history is being torn down by Marxist's revolutionaries who don't want God in their knowledge, but God is everywhere in American history--just look to the original sources. Patrick Henry quoted scriptures all the time in his famous give me liberty or give me death speech. Abraham Lincoln's 2nd inaugural address was jammed with scripture. by the way, Harry S Truman, a Christian Democrat, quoted from Lincoln at the end of World War II. Where have we gone from our heritage, O America? Where's the American Spirit? The spirit of the Alamo that would rather die than live without liberty? What happened to the patriot's that fought in the pacific and in Europe and North Africa to save the Union? how the mighty have fallen in the midst of the earth
There's talk of war between ourselves, but not so much talk about how to save the Union. That was Lincoln's official purpose as president of the United States during the Civil war. How many of us still have the American Spirit to face tyranny? to love liberty to the death? Who among us will fight for our land, God, and Union? Who will fight for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Who will fight for religion and morality that George Washington said was the most fundamental things that kept our institutions sound as he said in his farewell address before leaving the presidency. Who among us will save the Union?
