We live in exciting times. The modern religion of Secular Humanism is collapsing into immorality and tyranny. Atheistic statism is responsible for the murder of nearly half a billion people in the 20th century alone. We are ready for a "paradigm shift."
The Vine & Fig Tree paradigm is so old it seems new. 500 years ago the vision of a Christian world was brought to the Americas. Just as Ancient Israel, entering the Promised Land, failed to be grateful to God and attributed their prosperity to their own hands and their false gods, so America's prosperity has tempted us to forget God.
We are smarting under God's judgment. We made a wrong turn. We are are ready to go back to the crossroads and continue on the paths of righteousness, a journey to the Promised Land.
America broke with a long-standing tradition of church-state union. Christians have been reluctant to embrace the vision, and atheists have exploited their hesitation. The men who signed America's new Constitution did not envision an atheistic America. But neither did they fully understand Micah's Vine & Fig Tree vision of a priestless Christocracy.
The first step toward understanding a Churchless Theocracy as Micah foretold it is to obliterate the modern myth of "the Separation of Church and State." That slogan no longer means
In 1892 the United States Supreme Court opened the door to Christian Reconstruction when it declared that America is "a Christian nation." Christians in America missed their opportunity. Instead of taking dominion, Christians retreated into pietism and premillennialism.
"These and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation."
Unless we are willing to conclude that the 1892 Supreme Court of the United States was supremely ignorant or supremely deceptive, we must admit that America was founded as a Christian nation, and nothing in the U.S. Constitution changed that. The Supreme Court of the United States has given us a nice survey of the Christian history of America.
Having studied this page and the links, the modern concept of "separation of church and state" will appear utterly ridiculous.
