One famous American observed that without God’s help, a nation will not be blessed.
This is how he worded it:
“it is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.”
The very last part of that quote is from Psalm 33.
And the speaker’s hearers knew that because most of them were biblically literate, as was he.
In this quote, this Christian Nationalist (by the new definition) is saying that a nation is blessed only when it belongs to the God of the Bible.
Who was it? Those are words from President Abraham Lincoln, calling on the nation to fast and pray and ask for God’s mercy.
