Blessed Is the Nation
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people whom he has chosen as his heritage!” -Psalm 33:12 ESV Study Bible.
Is Our Country Without the Grace of God ?
Is our country not blessed by God ?
“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” -Jesus. [Matthew 6: 33. ESV Study Bible].
“The earth is the LORD’S and the fulness thereof,
The world and those who dwell therein,
For he has founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.” -Psalm 24: 1, 2. ESV Study Bible.
Without the grace of God, human society, personal relationships, and the world system work like an engine without oil –
There is no smoothness, no peacefulness.
God’s grace makes things work peacefully.
“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
“Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.” -Titus 2:11-15. ESV Study Bible.
True God’s grace anoints things – including our Country and our Government.
The lawmakers whose laws serve the corporate state – more than the people – to vastly enrich The Wealthy Few — and impoverish the poor and even the working-class people – are not really serving God and Country and the People. And corporations are defined as “artificial persons.” And now they are introducing another artificial thing – artificial intelligence.
A picture – whether it is a photograph or an artist’s sketch or painting — is only an artificial representation. It isn’t the original. It is an idol. The world system is being increasingly made over into artificiality – without a human heart and soul – just as the fictional Frankenstein was a manmade creation without heart and soul and human spirit. The politician/lawmakers are writing laws that are establishing a godless government and country – even a human less government in which artificial intelligence — counterfeit intelligence – will eliminate more and more jobs so that the people become jobless and completely dependent on the godless government for food, clothing and shelter. And then the godless government and its artificial intelligence will have the people under its unmerciful and godless control and power.
When citizens vote on Election Day, they are showing their support for this world system of Inequity and Iniquity. They would not do this if they were spiritually awake. But their hearts and their minds are in spiritual darkness. They cannot see that they are in error. They cannot see that Politics of all kinds is without True God as Lord of lords and King of kings. Politics has no regard for the kingdom of God and the Son of God and the Holy Spirit of God and the Living Word of God. Consequently, the unbelievers are going to get the wrath of God that is coming for them because of their great sin of Unbelief toward the One Whose Holy Scriptures tell us:
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people whom he has chosen as his heritage!” -Psalm 33: 12. ESV Study Bible.

“And this is the judgment: [John 3] . . .
Jesus Christ is the true Light, and He told us –
“And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” -John 3: 19-21. ESV Study Bible.
“And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” -2 Corinthians 4: 3, 4. ESV Study Bible.
“Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth,
Or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.” -Proverbs 22: 16. ESV Study Bible.

God’s grace allows us to be understanding and kind and patient and loving and lovely. Artificial intelligence does not have any capacity to give True God’s grace to our country and our government and our citizens. Those who obey artificial intelligence are committing themselves to idolatry. And those who vote for those who legalize artificial intelligence are bringing the wrath of God upon our country.
Without True God’s grace there is friction and selfishness and ego and willfulness and passion that lead to anger and madness and quarrels and divisions.
The absence of godly grace in the world is heating things up and making society go bad.
True God’s grace comes to us through faith in His Son Jesus Christ.
He sends his Holy Spirit into our hearts by whom we cry “Abba, Father!”
“So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs – heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.” -Romans 8: 12-17. ESV Study Bible.

His Holy Spirit is described in the Book of Isaiah thusly:
“There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,
And a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.
And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD.
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
or decide disputes by what his ears hear,
but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
And faithfulness the belt of his loins.” -Isaiah 11: 1-5. ESV Study Bible.

And in The New Testament, Jesus tells us more about the Holy Spirit; and in the epistles of The New Testament, we learn more about the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord.
We must be born again by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ to receive his Holy Spirit, our Helper, our Counselor, our Comforter, our Keeper in Christ Jesus. Receiving his Holy Spirit anoints US with God’s grace.
Without the grace of God, a country’s elected lawmakers write ungodly laws for the ungodly people and for the ungodly wealthy; and after many years the country begins bearing the ungodly fruits of all their ungodliness; and it goes the same way as the decline and fall of the roman empire. Its ungodly foundation becomes like a land suffering one earthquake after another; and one hurricane after another; and one forest fire after another. And its national debt of 35 trillion dollars becomes unsustainable. And still the people will not repent and believe in the Savior. They don’t want to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God. They would rather die and go to hell; and when hell gets thrown into the lake of fire, there they go into eternal damnation and punishment with eternal torment forever and ever – by their own ungodly choice of rejecting the salvation and anointing and grace of true God. They are the ones that a famous saying in a movie was talking about. The movie was “A Few Good Men.” And the famous words were, “You can’t handle the truth!”
Jesus Christ really is “the way and the life and the truth.”
Those ungodly ones are not among “a few good men.”
They are wicked. And their country declined and fell because of their wickedness. They chose to vote for Politics rather than to believe in the righteousness of God – Jesus Christ the Son of God and Savior of all who believe on him and believe in the gospel and believe The New Testament in Christ’s blood.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” -Romans 1: 16, 17. ESV Study Bible.

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
‘Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.’” -Revelation 21: 1-4.

“I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is your victory ?
O death, where is your sting ?”
“The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” -1 Corinthians 15: 50-58. ESV Study Bible.
“Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise. Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. For it is written,
“Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear;
Break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor!
For the children of the desolate one will be more
Than those of the one who has a husband.”
“Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now. But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman. So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.”
“For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” -Galatians 4: 21- 5:1. ESV Study Bible.
“These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.” -Hebrews 11: 13-16. ESV Study Bible.
“See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns us from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, ‘Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.’ This phrase, ‘Yet once more’ indicates the removal of things that are shaken – that is, things that have been made – in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.” -Hebrews 12: 25-29. ESV Study Bible.

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” -Jesus. [Matthew 5: 17-20. ESV Study Bible].
