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!
