I think its an exaggeration, actually. From the story, Lot asks God to spare the cities if there’s but one good man in them.

The US has some good people in it. It is no surprise that the folks in charge share a lot of common traits with the guy in charge of the world (Satan).

Nobody deserves Heaven. Not one person. We are saved by Christ.

As such, Chris is going to come back in His own time. In the meantime, we pray like it is up to Him, and work like it is up to us.

The law never changed, but Israel was always the one that was judged corporately. When Christ died for us, each of us now had our own personal salvation.

Like Israel in throughout history, when Israel stuck to God, God stuck to her. I believe it is going to be true for the only OTHER nation to invoke God in her founding documents - to the extent we stray from God, we will stray from peace and prosperity.

It was Abraham who asked God to spare Sodom if there were10 good men.

Israel the man and Israel the nation are masculine.
