We live in an age of unbelief. The foundations of American life are eroding. America is entering an uncharted, revolutionary time. We are no longer the America of our founders or even the America that existed twenty years ago. We are in trouble, and a cataclysm of ominous events may soon overwhelm us. We need a national spiritual revival.

We are dealing with reprobate minds after all. I’m afraid hope, and prayer, are the only endeavors we have left.
The solution is not found in who we elect, but who we bow down to.

All it would take is the erasing of all the media owners. And I would say it would only take about 2 dozen top politicians to remedy our problems.
Unfortunately I’m too old and lack the adequate following at present. Not ready for a suicide mission yet!!
Don’t limit God!
That always backfires.
Yours is the sort of pessimism expressed in the eighteen twenties, at the start of the Second Great Awakening that mobilized Americans. The Great Awakening in the USA not only was widespread, it also accounted for the first significant movement of Christian leaders to China, and helps account for the large number of Christians (now under attack) in China today. The Second Great Awakening was not sponsored by Government. Rather it was an inchoate movement that took hold of the American populace at large. It could happen again, for we certainly do need a Third Great Awakening.
After all, 10 out of 12 spies agreed: "No Can Do!"
Where's the vision, the progress from standing upon the shoulders of giants? Joshua and Caleb somehow managed to find a good view.
Back when I was a young student trapped in the institutionalized model of 'education' -- a veritable well without water -- at least real teachers knew the difference between genuine research papers and the stuff cobbled together and copied over and over from the standard references.
Then they graded.. accordingly.
"It is the only Country that has a Biblical Foundation"<<<
You have a way to prove this? Where could I go to look it up?
From an unexpected direction, so possibly ignored if not denigrated, but it's the road less traveled:
The Torah begins with an enlarged letter bet. "In the beginning" is the first word, as translations typically go:
בראשית
An enlarged letter format is also used to represent thousands. For example, the letter bet as a numeral (normal value of 2) = 2000 when followed by a geresh, which looks like an apostrophe (standard keyboard uses the apostrophe). 2000:
'ב
A common use is for representing the thousands in a year date.
It's unfortunate but not surprising that there are those in the camps of established wisdom who become triggered, denouncing such details as "Numerology!". Yet, it's a simple fact that numerical values are intrinsic to every letter/word/phrase in the Bible. Hebrew, Aramaic, and also Greek for those who include the NT.
United States of America [ארצות הברית של אמריקה] = 2000.
Which as explained above, is written numerically as the enlarged letter bet, the first letter of the Torah.
In any case, the year of America's Founding is world-famous: Est. 1776.
Same as the declarations concerning the first light of Creation:
Genesis 1
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
1776 =
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good:
ויאמר אלהים יהי אור ויהי־אור׃ וירא אלהים את־האור כי־טוב
1776 =
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
וירא אלהים את־האור כי־טוב ויבדל אלהים בין האור ובין החשך׃
The most recognized word in Yiddish (the language of the Jews), "Oy!" [!אוי] = 17, a famous value in Judaism for being tov [טוב], "good". "Good" and "Joseph" go together like peanut butter and jelly. The key to the family []ission.
The whole-number numeric relationship of 1776 to Israel [= 541] is found here, in Gotham:
One World Trade Center, also known as One World Trade, One WTC, and formerly called the Freedom Tower during initial planning stages...
... The tower's steel structure was topped out on August 30, 2012. On May 10, 2013, the final component of the skyscraper's spire was installed, making the building, including its spire, reach a total height of 1,776 feet (541 m). Its height in feet is a deliberate reference to the year when the United States Declaration of Independence was signed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_World_Trade_Center (The Hebrew Wikipedia page is entitled "Freedom Tower", מגדל החירות)
It's like the 13 Colonies (which expanded to 50, the distinguished number of transcendence): "Out of Many, One"
"One" [אחד] = 13
The natives of the 50th state [of Aloha] see a scorpion when they look up.

Alpha Lyra is known as the Weaver Girl,
and the difference between 1776 and 2000 is 224 -- the way, the "derek" [דרך].
And by the way:
Genesis 45
23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.

Rodney Crowell - I Couldn't Leave You If I TriedI suspect that Mordecai's sage advice to Esther, in order for her to remain hidden so that no one in the palace would ever suspect that she was a Jewess, was this:
"Whatever you do, don't ask any questions. And certainly never answer a question with a question. You know that's a dead giveaway!"
Well, that's just my opinion, but in the account of the Megillah, Esther doesn't ask any questions until she reveals herself.
Esther 8
4 Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
5 And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:
6 For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
Then they graded.. accordingly.
17.. 76, the Spirit of.
Join the Navi, see the world. A global force for good.
And just one more thing, Joseph and Joshua lived to the age of 110.
When people strive for 100% perfection, they always come up short. They never can get there because nobody's perfect.
Yet for those who operate by way of the "Can Do" model of giving 110%, 100 is just a number in the rear view mirror.

The Early Christians said something similar.
Most of them were executed by the Romans when Jerusalem was sacked in 70 AD.
The Jews said something similar during The Great Diaspora.
They were scattered to the winds by the Babylonians.
During WWII, both sides were convinced “God was on their side”.
Those in Germany and Eastern Europe who saw what was coming got out anyway the could.
Those that didn’t were murdered.
I respect your opinion but history tells us to be watchful and prepared.
we accepted the godless homo kenyan AFTER we followed the islam loving GWB... for the rest of his term.
Wallbulders.
" hope in Him is all we have left"
and it turns out that it's all we need.
Don’t overestimate humanity. THAT definitely always backfires.
It is unusual here on FR, it's very common elsewhere.
Right Brother: "Start with the Declaration of Independence."
I have. That document is mostly related to British treatment of the colonies though. For the one line at the end, that's really short. Then what?
cowboyusa: "Wallbulders."
I'll just have to hope that I don't run into anybody who's heard the name. If they have, they are only going to know the pollution that's been put out by the media.
Let me ask you guys a question. What is your opinion of either of these two books:
The first one is free in the public domain. The other one is fairly expensive.
Haven’t read them.
More Asbury “Awakenings?”
LOL duh that was part of my point
Trust only in God. Give your life to Jesus and pray for guidance from Him.
The question of whether America was founded on Christian doctrine is only a very recent one. And it is limited to the speculations of confused academics and devious news media personalities and their unsuspecting victims.
