SUMMARY ON THE HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN NATIONS
Reading about these 19 Christian nations has been quite interesting to say the least. It is amazing how so many of them began with a high regard for the Creator. This is especially true when looking at some of the nations from the British Commonwealth.
Though not perfect, God had His hand in the affairs of all these nations and the development of human rights, workers rights, and advances in health were related to the following through on precepts already in the Bible.
If Europeans had paid attention to the Biblical laws on washing, kosher food, and disposing of human waste many tragic events may not have occurred such as the Black Plague in the 14th century. In those days human waste was casually cast into the streets and bred all manner of disease. Deuteronomy 23:12-13
Florence Nightingale, a religious women who read her Bible, came up with the idea of washing hands and sterilizing instruments to help lessen disease when working as a nurse in the Crimean war. All this could have been found in the Bible if men had taken care to read it carefully.
God blessed the Christian nations because he was bringing glory to His name--not because they were so special. These nations were blessed because they read the Bible and over time put the Bible into real action. This caused the blessings of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 to be activated.
These nations preached the Gospel of the resurrection of Yeshua from the dead and God blessed us beyond our imaginations. We have all been tremendously blessed by faithfulness towards our Father God.
Today we are watching our Christian nations turn away from love and respect towards God. We are acting in the same manner as the Biblical nation of Israel in the books of Kings and Chronicles. God chastised them and sent them into captivity for their disobedience. Our nations are moving in that direction. Respect for God and His word is eroding in our blessed society.
Great chastisements and judgment are close. God will chastise us until we humbly return to Him and his Law. We are living in that time now. God moves slowly and sends warnings through tragic events and the weather to wake us up--but very little is said in the church about this--it is ignored. We only hear about rebuilding and coming back in greatness.
The message God is sending is to examine our ways, repent, and return to Him. Our shepherds are not speaking to us and most do not want to hear that anyway. The Father is patient, not wanting to chastise us severely, but we, as a nation are turning away from Him towards human secular laws. The Bible has become old fashioned. God's people are mocked.
It is shocking, to see how far our nations have fallen, how the Biblical laws and commands are trodden under foot. Great tribulation is coming to our generation soon. We truly need to examine ourselves in light of the word and get our house in order.
The Father recognizes our true efforts to get our house in order and will greatly bless those who seek Him out at this time. God is going to receive great glory to His name through a sanctified and set apart people who recognize that this is the day of our redemption and preparation.
Seek out His will for your life NOW and learn how to HEAR His voice NOW. This is a time of preparation and He desires your love and attention. WE can prosper in a spiritual way during the most difficult days IF we are prepared.
I don't consider myself totally prepared but am seeking His way for my life and I am encouraged by His word that He honors this desire on our part to turn towards Him in a deeper way.
Let the stories of our nations that you just read inspire you to seek His face during this time.
