Introduction:
“My country, ’tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of Liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From every mountainside
Let Freedom ring.”
By Rev. Samuel F. Smith – 1832

Do you remember the words to this song? Probably you remember singing this as a child in elementary school. Isn’t it amazing how we look back on growing up in America being taught patriotism? In those days, nationalism was prominent over globalism. Whereas both have their proper place, truthfully, today there are those in governmental positions who are more focused on being globalists instead of primarily looking to the national interest of America. Well anyway, let’s take a look at the Book:
In Bible prophecy, God has a special purpose and plan for the NATION of Israel. In other words, He chose a “people” (the Jews), a “place” (Jerusalem), and a “plan” (end time).
In the grand scheme of things, many other NATIONS will fight against the NATION of Israel. However, it will be to no avail. The Lord will intervene to fight against these NATIONS (Ezek. 38–39) and defeat their armies. In the final analysis, the Antichrist’s armies, along with the kings of the East, will attempt to overthrow Jesus Christ and His armies.
NEWSFLASH: It will never happen.
As a matter of fact, when Jesus Christ comes back to this earth as the “KING of KINGS” and “LORD of LORDS,” He will utterly destroy the NATIONS that come against Him and the beloved city called Jerusalem (Rev. 19:11–16).
So sing out, my friend:
“My country, ’tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of Liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From every mountainside
Let Freedom ring.”
Conclusion: While I THANK GOD for our country called AMERICA — “I’m looking for a city whose builder and maker is God.”
Our CITIZENSHIP is in heaven!
HOME SWEET HOME!!
HOME SWEET HOME!!
