The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 72
Chapter 4
The United States was Founded on Christian Principals
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you,
and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Matthew 21:43
God had put a special “call” on this country and the people who were to
inhabit it. In the virgin wilderness of America, God was making His most
significant attempt since ancient Israel to create a new Israel of people living in
obedience to the laws of God, through faith in Jesus Christ.... A new Jerusalem, a

self.... Concerning the vertical aspect of the covenant, they saw no delineation
between the two Testaments, believing that an unchanging God had written them
both. They saw themselves as being called into a direct continuation of the
covenant relationship between God and Abraham.

There is debate in America on the subject of whether America was formed as a
Christian nation or not. There are without a doubt arguments on both sides of the issue which
have merit. It is not my intent to review or debate the arguments on either side of this subject.
Men engage in such debates with the belief that they can prove or disprove the extent to whether
the founding fathers were loyal and faithful Christians or not. It is often ignored that the
founding fathers served on behalf of the states and ultimately the people of America and
therefore, it is not a matter of whether the founding fathers were faithful Christians but whether
the people of this nation were. Further, the intentions of God himself are ignored. God is the one
