We’ve taken a look at some aspects of Nationalism in the past. What do we think was intended by God, when He made the division of man, first with the languages, which led to the division of nations? That act on God’s part was meant to be divisive because man was attempting to become one and he was incorporating the evil bent of this world, which we are told is led by Satan. It is this force for evil that we are told is the God of this world. This is why we are told to be in the world but not of it. We are told that the world is not our home.

There are some Biblical concepts then, which are interesting in any discussion of Nationalism. The above are certainly part of that discussion.

So if God had decided that division was necessary in order to keep unity from occurring: why do you think that was? Obviously He did not want a one world government back then, although He prophesied that we will eventually have a world controlled by one man, that the Scriptures call Antichrist. Still it seems that that time when it comes, will come as a judgment upon this earth, and even then there will still be nations left outside this one’s control.

I think that God wants us to understand that if man is left to his own devices he will be led toward evil, because his sin nature will allow the masses to be led by deceptive forces, and toward ideas provided by that god of this world. This seems true because we as believers are even warned to not be deceived.

So would it be unchristian to ask God to provide a nation wherein there could be freedom from religious persecutions, and would it be wrong to flee to that world when it was seemingly provided? And would it be wrong to want to preserve that land?

If we examine our nations history we see the evidence of our Christian heritage. Multiple church denominations in every town and city; missionaries sent out from those church denominations to every nation of the world; foreign aid packages sent to countries in need following major disasters. We did those things because God was blessing us financially as a country and us individually as His church.

What seems to have changed leading us in to what has become huge deficits. Our giving now is not from abundant blessing, but from ignorant men with the ability to print money as if it grew on trees with no regard for the nations future; and today we observe most of our governmental giving going toward defending the borders of other nations from aggressors as we are policing the world, and yet unable to defend our own borders.

And further we find ourselves with no new world to which we may flee to escape should the winds of persecution blow upon us as believers. We find ourselves in the days where believers are called to endure. We are facing the likelihood of economic distress and political upheaval. Will we turn back to God?
