Those who came to these shores four centuries ago to found a new civilization did so by dedicating it to God, committing it for His purposes and glory. America was to be a city on a hill, a civilization to which others would look. It was to be a holy commonwealth. And so they modeled it after Israel of the Bible.

I saw the video and I read the transcripts. God help us if you believe this stuff. Let's be careful and I sincerely mean very careful here. While UntoHim doesn't want political this is all political. There is next to no spiritual reality involved. It's the same thing I heard 30 years ago from my uncle with just a different twist. Now his daughter is espousing this stuff. In WWII 20 million Russians were killed and 6 million Jews and you think we have a problem. We need a reality wake up call but it is not from Cahn. We have been undergoing a transformation of the politicization of Christianity in America over the last 25 years starting with the moral majority which has weakened the churches. When I was out preaching the gospel on the streets of Detroit, Minneapolis, Santa Cruz etc there never was this political dimension. We are toast, folks. Our worst enemy is ourselves and the stuff from this video or transcript.
The Nazis became powerful because of the way they nationalized Germany noting the corruption of their nation etc. Do you realize that the Christian Churches in Germany largely supported Nazi Germany? It was the underground "Confessing Church" which had opposed Hitler and they were largely made up of liberal Christians.
Niemoller, a Christian Minister, is responsible for the famous quote which I am sure most of you have heard. He made this statement after spending 8 years in a concentration camp and freed by American forces in 1945. I don't want to go into his background but he largely supported the Nazis rounding up the Jews:
"In Germany, they came for the Communists and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the traditionalists and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a traditionalist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn’t speak up because I was Protestant. Then they came for me and by that time no one was left to speak up."
Historically it is nationalism that has been the problem and not the "liberal" corruption" quoted by Cahn. Please wake up. Here are a couple verses of the Bible that the Nazis used to round up the Jews: I Thess. 2:15 and John 8:37-44 take care my friends especially if this stuff takes root. Who does Cahn want rounded up?
