Are America's best days yet ahead? Well, millions of Americans in both parties would believe to optimistically think and perceive so (Jer.7:4-7; 17:9-10, Prov. 16:25; Matt. 7:13-14, Luke 12:16-21; 2 Cor. 4:2-4; Eph. 2:1-2). Two different American political parties, world views, and utopian visions with one common denominator, which seeks to exclude this world's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator from our national square. One party; would seek the total eradication of the Almighty and His Divinely established moral absolutes (Psalm 14; Rom. 1:18-32; 3); while the other party; loves to - throw His Name around - while rejecting His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Character and Person for a moral relativism of "goodness" (Matt. 15:8-9, Rom. 10:2-4). However, there is a remnant today in the land of the Free who prays and fights daily for seeking to turn America back to its ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator in RIGHTEOUSNESS through faith in Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17; Acts 4:12; 17:24-31; Gal. 1:4; 1 John 4:10); but this group called believers, is demonized and scoffed at continually by unregenerate Americans; who are progressive, liberal, moderate, libertarian and conservative ideologies and mindsets REJECT the TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God which is found ONLY in Jesus Christ by faith (Rom. 10:2-4; Heb. 11:6; 1 John 2:15-17).
Do your part for America my friends, but there is no ETERNAL place for it in Almighty God's ETERNAL future but in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus Christ!
You see; this life or temporary existence of ours is just a micro vapor in which unregenerate men are totally consumed by and sell their souls to (Psalm 39:5; Matt. 16:26; James 4:14; 1 John 2:15-17). The micro vapor of this life is passing, yet men will wholeheartedly grasp onto it while refusing to see the ETERNAL (Matt. 16:26; John 3:16-21, 1 John 2:15-17)! Do your part for America my friends, but there is no ETERNAL place for it in Almighty God's ETERNAL future but in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus Christ (Isa. 9:6-7; 40:15; Zech. 14:16; Rev. 21:22-27; 22:1-3). Almighty God's Kingdom is at hand and that is the ETERNAL future for all nations in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Matt. 6:9-10; Isa. 9:6-7, Zech. 14:16). If you personally reject this ETERNAL REALITY, you will absolutely miss out on the ETERNAL REALITIES of RIGHTEOUSNESS and will suffer the ETERNAL consequences of unrighteousness (John 3:16-16; 36; 1 John 4:10; Rev. 20:11-15; 22:11). The key is not to focus on the consequences of a godless unregenerate existence, but on the ETERNAL REDEEMING LOVE God has for you in RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is found in Jesus Christ (Rom. 10:2-4, 1 John 4:10)!
Do your part for America my friends, but there is no ETERNAL place for it in Almighty God's ETERNAL future but in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus Christ. Almighty God's Kingdom is at hand and that is the ETERNAL future for all nations in RIGHTEOUSNESS!
So; our final question at hand in light of Almighty God's biblical perspective in which we just looked at is a common-sense question to all Americans. How can any society survive when moral absolutes are absolutely hated, scoffed at, and demonized by both political parties and by millions upon millions of Americans? The answer is a very common sense one; It cannot and will not!” Thus, we now see the final sad state and coming downfall of our once great and highly respected nation (Psalm 11:3, Prov. 14:3). Are America's best days ahead? Tragically, they are not my friends and to believe so is to be willingly ignorant and oblivious to not just what is before us (John 3:19-20), but to Almighty God and all His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS promises which are found in Jesus Christ (Isa. 53; John 3:16-17, 2 Cor. 1:20; Heb. 13:8; 1 John 4:10). This is the greatest satanic deception of our day as a nation; false optimism and delusion upon all unregenerate individuals who like it or not are walking according to the course of this world and their slave master (Eph. 2:1-2).
Tragically, it will be this absolute and complete abandonment of social morals that will be America's final demise.
Tragically, it will be this absolute and complete abandonment of social morals that will be America's final demise and my dear friends. we are already there! This nation - due to her near-total abandonment of moral absolutes and the soon coming Rapture of the body of Christ - will finally implode on herself, thus opening the door to the entrance of the Four Horsemen and the dreaded Day of the Lord (Rev. 6-19). My dear friends, it is absolutely crucial for all individuals to be sure that they personally know the Savior of this doomed and fallen world (John 1:12, 3:16-17, 1 John 5:10-13). This world is headed into the final showdown between lawlessness and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Between Lucifer the fallen angelic creature and the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS GOD and CREATOR of ALL (Rev. 16:13-16). It is RIGHTEOUSNESS that our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator wants to give you in Jesus. Be not an ETERNAL fool and settle for the ETERNAL damnation (John 3:16-17; Rev. 20:11-15)
My dear friends, the Kingdom of Heaven is TRULY at hand!
Man’s best days are unquestionably ahead
However, I know of no nation that, once it is in decline, is able to get ahead.
If 30 red states were to secede at least then we could save half the country from a dystopian future.
“Are America’s best days yet ahead?” Sure, after it goes into a dystopian tail spin and breaks up due to the failures of socialism, the spin part is already happening. Lets build back better to fix the failed BS that we implemented with lies and propaganda, sorry that I left out theft.
There could be a bright future for America, but me being 68, I might not see it. Why? America has to grab each of its ears with the other hand and pull, first.
I agree that the U.S. Constitution sets America as a secular state, granting the individual the right to seek divinity as they see fit. So, if you the reader, think that I am belittling what the posted author so sternly demands of each and every American, I’m not. I know that Buddhists, Shintoists. Daoists, and the American Pagan population, also see an America that needs most of the same things fixed, and look to that time, too. All of us like to live nice,quiet lives, wave at our neighbors, and have the security of home,without governmental monkeyshines.
But we ain’t there yet. So, grab that left ear with your right hand ....
The Bible very specifically talks about sheep nations and goat nations in Matthew 25:31–46, so my hope is that the USA, at that time, will be judged a sheep nation.
If we continue in supporting missionaries, if the majority of our people still try to follow God’s will and not Satan’s, if souls are still being saved in our borders, there might be hope.
Yet this is a thread with "Biblical Perspective" in the very title.
Same ol' laments going on about poor America... that this once great nation saved others but can't save herself.
The prophets were mocked and hated because their messages were ridiculously *contrary* to what "everybody knows".
In this day and age, doom and gloom rains (reigns). Climate change, racism, COVID, end times... noise from every direction preaches how bad it is out there [so here's our particular fix]. So easy to point out the negatives. Nobody has to look very far at all. A blind man can see them.
There's that old saying about those who don't learn from history are destined (doomed) to repeat it.
Ingenuity is the particular quality that can take a time-honored, reliable track record such as that, and use it for good.
The bad actors never see it coming, because their destruction is the result of their own work. Angels (messengers) of light they are not, no matter how many "proof texts" they can line up in parentheses.
Like when Haman built the gallows for Mordecai. Handy!
As I've posted previously, it's simply the name of the game. Haman hangs because he is not capable of guessing the correct letters. The word indicates that HAMAN is no good ("NG") inside, and also full of gas:
HANGMAN
HANGMAN
HANGMAN
Ancient Chinese Secret. People could always to do a little research and zip around in those glyphs and meanings. I learn all sorts of "random" info day after day. It really adds up over time. It's fun too. I never know where I'll end up on a day-to-day basis, but I'm never disappointed.
Dictionaries and etymologies [which are word genealogies, even when admittedly sketchy] don't have religious spin artists bothering them. That's because the self-anointed religious experts never suspect that they've been bypassed completely in the big plan to "get the word out".
Many will be astonished at what sits in plain sight.
The real preacher is the king in Jerusalem.
Ecclesiastes 1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
Some might be able to see and understand why he's a target. He sits in the middle of Jerusalem but gets no respect.
BTW, here's a shocker: The God of Abraham is the Master Comedian, the King of deadpan, even with a little twinkle in His eye.
AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL
It all began in 1926 inside a small grocery store in Fresno, California, where DAVID® Sunflower Seeds were roasted and seasoned with quality ingredients.
Almost 100 years later, we still craft our quality, American-grown sunflower seeds with care. Why? because the best things in life are often the simplest.

Fresno gets a bad rap, yet:

It's well-noted that the Book of Esther is the account of a mighty rescue where God is [seemingly] nowhere to be found in the text. It's a narrative filled with odd and apparently random facts and events, but when the big reveal happens and Haman goes down, ah then all that weird stuff makes perfect sense. Turns out it was meticulously coordinated from above to make it all work out for the good.
In "real time", though... even Esther had to be told to step it up.
“It’s well-noted that the Book of Esther is the account of a mighty rescue where God is [seemingly] nowhere to be found in the text.”
You of all people probably already know this, Ezsekiel, but:
The Invisible Protector
God had declared that if His people forsook Him, He would hide His face from them.7 Here, in this very episode, that threat was fulfilled. But even though He was hidden from them, God still was working for them behind the scenes. And this is further emphasized by some surprises hidden behind the text itself.
It has been noted by many commentators that Esther is the only book of the Bible in which there does not appear the name of God, or any divine title, anywhere in the book. (Martin Luther favored eliminating it from the Bible on this basis.8 ) However, the name of God does appear in a number of places if one knows how and where to look!
Hidden Acrostics
An acrostic can be a mechanism for including a hidden message. In the Book of Esther we encounter some remarkable surprises. The name of God is hidden no less than eight times in acrostics in the text. Four times it appears as an acrostic, the famed Tetragammaton, “YHWH” or “Yahweh” or “YeHoVaH”; once as “EHYH” or “I AM” as at the Burning Bush. Also, Meshiach (”Messiah”), Yeshua (”Jesus”), and El Shaddai (”The Almighty”), also appear as equidistant letter sequences.9
As Gentiles, we need to remember that we are grafted into the true olive tree by the skin of our teeth.10 We must not forget that we were joined into what was a Jewish Church-with Jewish leaders, a Jewish Bible, and are worshipping a Jewish Messiah. Baruch HaShem.Bless His Name!

Yes and blessing Israel as well, Eph. 5:16-17 is our verse as we wait for Jesus!
Check out Isa. 19:23-25, that’s what the blood of Christ can do in the future! Amen!
Maranatha!
It seems you’re injecting spiritual relativism... which is fine for this is a forum, but;
What does Almighty God say in righteousness, not “religion, etc”, no offense either Jesus is the ETERNAL propitiation for the sins of mankind or He isn’t. Spiritual relativism violates the law of non-contradiction. True we can all get along if we follow Judeo/Christian biblical moral values, but in the end, we all die, and then what? Jesus died for the sins of all, which is wonderful (John 1:12, Rom. 5:12-21)
John 3:16-17, 14:6; Acts 4:12, Acts 17:28-36, 1 John 4:10 etc.
Israel is the only nation, They are a witness to the world that they are Almighty God’s chosen nation and Satan’s target of destruction.
Ezek. 38-39, Isa. 11 - future
However, the name of God does appear in a number of places if one knows how and where to look!
In their own merchandise! /s
Sheesh. If these people had *any idea* what they were doing, they would not do that. I'm referring to the next part, "Hidden Acrostics", footnote 9:
9. These are addressed in our book, Cosmic Codes - Hidden Messages From the Edge of Eternity, as well as in our Expositional Commentary on Esther.

Well here's a little something for free, but it's not pre-curated, pre-packaged "cliff" notes to run with [right off of a cliff]:
In traditional Hebrew letter studies, the form of the letter hei [ה] is described as a composite of the letter dalet [ד] and the letter yud [י].
Thus the word "Jew" -- which ends with dalet-yud -- "becomes" the Tetragrammaton because dalet-yud is the letter hei:
Mordecai the Jew (yehudi):
מרדכי היהודי
The Tetragrammaton (YHVH):
יהוה
ד + י = ה
Or as a permutation, the first letter of ha-yehudi ("the Jew") is the letter hei,
היהודי
On a related note, there are traditions about the final letter of the Tetragrammaton becoming "lost".
The word for return (teshuvah) is alternatively read as "tashuv hei", the return of the [letter] hei (the final hei of YHVH). This meaning when the Divine Presence returns from exile.
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
:)
Actually, that's no dumb pun. The Divine Presence (the Shekinah) is a feminine noun/personification. In Hebrew, the feminine pronoun "she" is היא, pronounced as he ("hee").
Blessed is היא - the Divine Presence (the face of God) - that cometh in the name of the Lord [יהוה]
God had declared that if His people forsook Him, He would hide His face from them.
When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything.
Doe, a deer. That would be Esther, known as Ayelet Hashachar, the "Doe of the Dawn". (Psalm 22)
It's always something!
Re'eh, a drop of golden sun...
...Tea, a drink with jam and bread
...That will bring us back to...
Time to make hay while the sun shines. Hay as in the Letter Hei of G-d's Name Havayah, for Teshuvah is Tashuv Hei, Return the [letter] Hei that has fallen because of our failure to keep Him before us always.
Daily Zohar - Re'eh Day 1
One word for every note. Nothing is random! Lowly puns for the big win.
That's kind of big news, the return of the letter "hei". People have been waiting for that to happen for a couple thousand years. I should work up a separate thread, you think?
Independence Day is right around the corner.
There's way more in those songs, because the hills are alive with the sound of music with songs they have sung for a thousand years.
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely. I know I will hear what I've heard before. My heart will be blessed with the sound of music, and I'll sing once more.
Desolate is without music for one thing:
Matthew 23
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me hen-ce-forth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
And should I hold my peace, the stones would cry out,
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over stones on its way.
A thousand years is as one Day.
Well that sure went by quickly. Life is a living parable, complete with chickens.
Nothing is random (I'm a big fan of this precious little "hovercraft"):
#MarsHelicopter’s 9th flight, expected no earlier than #FourthOfJuly, is set to push it to its limits. http://go.nasa.gov/3jL9CiuThe team is aiming for Ingenuity to:

the number of verses in the Book of Esther
"Penuel" (facing God)
the sum [atomic numbers] of gold 79 and of copper 29, and of light 59 [לייט]
Because speaking of songs, they are right here, along with the same sound of music from the city that sits solitary :
Jerusalem of Gold
And of copper and of light
For all of your songs, I am your kinnor.
The team is aiming for Ingenuity to travel 625 meters.
That's the distance of arrival because it's the "50th gate" (sha'ar ha-nun, 'שער ה נ):
(In case anyone was wondering which gate was called the Beautiful Gate. Golden is the 50th, and golden means good):
"According to Jewish tradition, the Shekhinah (שכינה) (Divine Presence) used to appear through the eastern Gate, and will appear again when the Anointed One (Messiah) comes (Ezekiel 44:1–3) and a new gate replaces the present one"
Are America's Best Days Yet Ahead! A Biblical Perspective
No, not “”relevant”. The posted author made demands of ‘every American, so I pointed out that NOT every American would bother.
