This Lord's Day I sang this Psalm and considered; Lord is translated Jehovah. God in mercy extended his covenant to Adam and when his mutability caused man to second guess God he fell from his original righteousness and with him the whole human race. God again in mercy extended to fallen man the Covenant of Redemption in Jesus Christ. The Scripture tells us Jesus Christ is the Word of God, the Creator-sustainer, the Life and Light of men. He is the Mediator of the New Covenant in His blood. If a nation will not acknowledge Him and further, takes the moral law of the Creator and contradicts it, not only is that foolishness. It is blasphemy. If Christ is God come in the flesh and truly God and truly man, then because very God, the Word of God, for this nation to say: "God Bless America" and not own Jesus Christ as Lord that is contradicting the Word in Psalm 33:12 and that is blasphemy. The 10 Horns of the Beast all have names of blasphemy and the angel tells John these are kingdoms and the crowns on the horns represent their leaders. Satan can quote the Scripture, he believes and trembles, some quote Scripture and ought to.

The Scripture is our standard not the symbol of Roman civil execution. The written word is what the military needs, it speaks of Christ crucified and sin forgiven. Christ raised and His Divinity magnified. He who knew no sin became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
