Like a growing number, I believe that our U.S. national security lies in repentance as we stand for truth and right while learning to carefully follow our inspired U.S. Constitution. Our national strength ultimately comes of obedience to the commandments of God.
As has been said, "May the God of heaven, the Almighty, bless us, help us, as we walk our various ways in the uncertain days that lie ahead. May we look to Him with unfailing faith. May we worthily place our reliance on His Beloved Son who is our great Redeemer, whether it be in life or in death, is my prayer in His holy name, even the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
Here are some recent (4/10/2015) thoughts on this subject by William J. Dell, a dear friend of mine and author of Our Constitutional Republic.
"Neighbor, How Stands the Union [Our Constitutional Republic]?
William J. Dell – 10 April 2015 (Reprise of 8 February 2012)
Amore Dei, Familiae, Patriae ducit !
Our Founding Fathers stated in the Preamble of our Constitution that one of its purposes was to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” In 1937, Stephen Vincent Benét wrote a short story called The Devil and Daniel Webster. From it I have taken the following quote:
Yes, Dan’l Webster’s dead – or, at least, they buried him. But every time there’s a thunderstorm around Marshfield, they say you can hear his rolling voice in the hollows of the sky. And they say that if you go to his grave and speak loud and clear, “Dan’l – Dan’l Webster!” the ground’ll begin to shiver and the trees begin to shake. And after awhile you’ll hear a deep voice saying, “Neighbor, neighbor, how stands the Union?” Then you better answer, “The Union stands as she stood – oak-bottomed and copper-sheathed, one and indivisible!” or he’s liable to rear right out of the ground.
A True American in 2015: Dan’l – Dan’l Webster!
Dan’l Webster: Neighbor, neighbor, how stands the Union?
A True American in 2015: Well, Mister Webster, I believe the Union has seen better days. The old 'Ship of State' is listing hard to port, but I have the hope and faith that she can be righted once again. You see, it is the prayers of the righteous that have kept her afloat and I have hope and faith that the God of the land, which is Jesus Christ, will continue to honor their petitions. That the faithful lovers of freedom and liberty will hold fast to the Constitution, as given by God to the Founding Fathers, and establish it once again over this land when God has purged the Union of the Gadianton robbers who infest the government and the land and who seek to enslave ‘We, the people.’
America must be cleansed! We, as a nation and people, will pass through tribulation in the process and many will perish during the cleansing. But can a live branch be taken from a dead tree? The Lord has said this is a choice land and that those who possess the land must serve Him or be swept off. May His judgement come soon against those in government and in the land who would bind us with Satan's chains and lead us carefully down to the Hell of Socialism. We cannot excise the blemish and blight that are upon the Union because the whole is rotten to the core! Our only hope is restoration not reformation! Only then will liberty once again be able to be proclaimed throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.
May God bless and save the United States of America — Our Constitutional Republic!"
