The sign that reflects a people’s dedication to the preservation of those things it values most is its willingness to go to war to preserve them.  Such values as freedom, peace, national and self-determination, etc. are values that millions of people have fought and died to gain and defend.  Cemeteries in France filled with the remains of foreign warriors prove that Americans have been willing to fight and die for the freedom, peace and self-determination of not only themselves, but other people as well.  There are 24 American cemeteries on foreign soil where lie the bodies of 124,909 of America’s most valued treasure.  They saw a vital need and went to war to meet it.

For this reason it is most disheartening to note that the descendants of those brave Americans are not willing to rise up and fight to protect the most important value that can be attained–eternal life.  The path to salvation was once walked with absolute care and in total obedience to the “map” God has provided to guide the spiritual pilgrim on his way to the Kingdom of God.  But no longer.

Over the centuries since Jesus of Nazareth taught His followers how to navigate the “way” to paradise, those who called themselves by His name have slowly but surely deviated from the path He so perfectly laid out and demonstrated (“walked”) while on earth.  Today that deviated path is called miss-named “the church.”  Though this Satanic ploy was predicted by Jesus in Matthew 24:4,5, today NONE GO TO BATTLE to turn the nation back to that “way.”  Instead, the God-professing masses prefer to go with the flow that leads away from Him and His church–the Body of Christ.  John the Baptist faced the same problem when dealing with the Jews who had turned away from God’s Holy Word (“map”) which, at that time, consisted of the Tora (Moses’s writings) and the writings of the other prophets.  John describe himself as “… one crying in the wilderness,” to those who, though claiming to be God’s people, refused to obey His Word.  John was constantly doing battle for the Word and way of the Lord against those proclaiming a “better way.”  His fighting eventually cost him his life, as it had some of the prophets before him.  This did not stop Jesus and His apostles from picking up the mantle and marching into battle for God’s Truth.  They fought against tremendous odds and, with the exception of the Apostle John, were martyred for their efforts.  Their murderers were those who, calling themselves God’s people, refused to maintain the discipline of focus necessary to please Him.  We will now examine the discipline problem that destroyed professing Christendom by comparing it to the nation’s most disciplined group–her military establishment.

Of late, several incidences have taken place within the military that revealed a breakdown in the discipline that is absolutely necessary for a military, as well as a religion, to be effective.  In a recent decision a “pagan” (the military’s word) was allowed to break a long-standing rule in order to satisfy a soldier’s religious requirement.  Bowing to the political correctness, a.k.a. “wokeness” that continues to attack the moral fabric of the United States, the soldier was granted a “Religious Accommodation Waver” that enabled him to practice his heathen religion while serving the nation whose currency declares it to be One Nation Under (one specific) God–the (one specific) God in Whom she claims to trust.  The pagan religion in question was Muhammadism, a religion whose followers are required to kill those who do not bow to its god–Allah.  God decreed that His people were to be sanctified (set aside spiritually) and segregated (set aside physically) from all other people.  So much so that they would be considered “peculiar,” a holy people, a kingdom of priests whom He would call His ” (1 Pet. 2:9/  Ps. 135:4).  The fact that Muslims are allowed to live and practice their religion in this nation is proof of her spiritual decline.  The fact that Muslims are allowed into her military is further proof of the nation’s moral downfall.  Second Corinthians 6:14-7:1 tells us that God’s church is to have no SPIRITUAL dealings with any other religion.  A little leaven, He warns, always leavens the loaf.  Other religions, including Catholicism/Protestantism, are leaven.  God’s Church is the loaf.  The United States is not united at all, but is in reality several widly-differing cultures serving several widly-differing gods.  AND NONE GO TO BATTLE in the name of the Biblical God.  None, that is, who have the political or social clout to bring about the change necessary to return this nation to the Lord of the Holy Scriptures.  For this reason the series titled God’s Chosen People in Prophecy ….  Key word–Chosen, remains significant to this today.

No one in the law-making apparatus that is the national government will stand up and fight for the heart and soul of this once God-serving nation.  Muslim politicians now take their political vows with their hand on the Koran.  A Muslim cleric was allowed to pray to his god over a joint meeting of the Senate and House.   A Muslim prayer meeting was held in the White House on the day normally set aside for national prayer and fasting.  It was organized by our Muslim president Barach Obama.

The founding fathers, under God’s direction, established this nation on the principles found in the Holy Bible, not in the Koran or any other writing of any other religion serving any other God.  America was once truly “… one nation under (the Biblical) GOD ….”  She was established to be indivisible and providing liberty and justice for all,” meaning ALL WHO ARE UNDER THE LORDSHIP OF THAT GOD and no other.  Americans were to be free to worship the Biblical God any way they pleased.  No provision was made in the U.S. Constitution for the establishment of or the recognition of any other religion.  Yet today there are more than a thousand Muslim mosques on American soil.  Hinduism is the nation’s fastest growing religion.  Barely half of Americans now profess to serve the Biblical God.  Though there is a proverbial “church on every street corner,” none proclaim the Biblical Truth and NONE GO TO BATTLE for that Truth.  The church’s ministers, which God calls “sleeping dogs” continue to slumber as their god destroys the religious masses.  Those who proclaim His pure Word are few and their numbers are growing ever fewer.  The nation’s military graphically reflect her fall from the grace of God.

Within the nation’s military apparatus accommodations have been made for unmarried pregnant women to remain in the service.  Special uniforms have been designed to accommodate their changes in bodily shape.  Satan worship is now an accepted form of worship in all branches.  Wicca (witchcraft) is now recognized as a legitimate religion.  The words God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit cannot be spoken in military church services.  One base commander would not allow a cross to be carried during a military funeral.  Homosexuals are welcomed into all branches of service, along with transsexuals, pansexuals, etc.  A transsexual politician recently commissioned an American battleship named after a famous homosexual pedophile.  AND NONE GO TO BATTLE for the Biblical principles upon which this nation was founded.  A hole has been punched in the dam that is our national defense system.  The 9-11 attack on the Pentagon was a symbolic reminder of the Nation’s weakening military presence.  As the Lord prophesied would happen if this nation abandoned Him, that hole is growing daily.  Soon the dam will burst and He will, as He said, “… destroy the pride of your (military) power.”  America’s defeat in Vietnam marked the beginning of this nation’s military decline.  She has not won a war since, nor will she win another.  Our recent defeat in Afghanistan at the hands of a vastly inferior military was just the latest humiliation the nation will suffer at the hands of the heathen she desperately wants to appease.  Not only did we surrender to them and sneak out like whipped dogs, we left millions of dollars worth of state-of-the-art weapons behind.  Many Americans see what is happening.  Yet NONE GO TO BATTLE to save her by unifying her under the one Biblical God.  Those minutely few who do go to battle are rejected and marginalized by Bible-toting, Scripture-quoting, cross-wearing servants of Satan.

When Joshua was preparing to lead ancient Israel into the Promised Land he made a most important statement to those who would follow him: “Choose you this day whom you will serve, whether the (heathen) gods which your fathers served on the other side of the (Noahic) flood, or the (heathen) gods of the Amorites in the land in which you dwell.  But as for me and my house, we will serve THE (one and only true) Lord (Josh. 24:15).  Note that there are only two gods, the Biblical God or Satan–the god of all other religions.  Joshua went on to tell the Israelites that if they did not serve God only, that He (God) would destroy them.  Knowing that God required holiness in those who professed Him, Joshua set the moral standard for the nation of Israel.  Following his take-it-or-leave-it speech, the people promised to follow and obey the God Who had freed them from Egyptian slavery.  History records that they failed to do so, prompting Him to bring about their military defeat, slaughter, enslavement and eventual global scattering where their descendants live to this day.  There are literally hundreds of millions of Israelites living anonymously on planet earth.  Approximately 15 million of them are called “Jews.”  These are literally “Judahites” of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi.  Approximately 1/3 of the world’s Jews live in a small portion the land God promised to the descendants of Abraham.  Read Who and Where is Israel Today?  Key word–Today.

As that series reveals, the “Lost Tribes of Israel,” as they are known, are not lost to God or to those with whom He shares His secrets (Amos 3:7).  They are, however, lost to the world and even to themselves.  Having lost all of their Israelite characteristics (language, religion, cultural traits, etc.) they do not know from whom they are biologically descended–Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  The United States and Great Britain are populated primarily by Israelites who do not know they are Israelites.  Rather, they believe themselves to be biological Gentiles.  Spiritually, they are Gentiles (Heb.–“goiim”–heathen).  But biologically they are the descendants of Joseph’s sons Manasseh and Ephraim.  L.J.
