The Gettysburg Address

November 19, 1863

Four score and seven years ago our fathers
Brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty,
And dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great Civil War,
Testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived, can long endure.
We are met on a great battle-field of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field,
As a final resting place for those who here gave their lives
That that nation might live.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we cannot consecrate--
We cannot hallow—this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here,
Have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here,
But it can never forget what they did here.

It is for us the living, rather, to dedicate her to the unfinished work
Which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated
To the great task remaining before us--
That from these honored dead we take increased devotion
To that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--
That we here highly resolve
That these dead shall not have died in vain--
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--
And that government of the people, by the people, for the people,
Shall not perish from the earth.

A. Lincoln


Today, once again, America is in the throws of determining
Whether this government shall remain as Founded--
Of the people, by the people, for the people,
Or shall perish from the earth.

Whether this nation will place itself Under God or not.
For no nation can remain unless it is Ordained by God Almighty.
It is He who brought it into existence,
It is He who has sustained it,
And it is He Who will determine if it remains or Perishes.

This decision is entirely spiritual:
Who will be the God of America—the God of Creation—the God of the Bible--
Or the “god” of this World, Satan.
That is what is being determined in America today.

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
