There has never been a Christian country<\/strong>. God has never made a covenant with any Gentile country to be His Christian nation. Jesus said the “gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness <\/strong>unto all nations…” Matthew 24:14. He never prophesied that a nation would be converted. <\/p>\n

All nations and governments <\/strong>are considered beastly <\/strong>from God’s perspective. <\/strong>At Christ’s second advent, Christ and His saints <\/strong>will establish the first, only, and everlasting Christian kingdom<\/strong> on Earth!<\/p>\n

Daniel 7:3-9 (NIV),  “Four great beasts <\/strong>(world empires<\/em>), each different from the others, came up out of the sea (unstable humanity<\/em>).<\/p>\n

“<\/strong>The first was like a lion (Babylon<\/em>)<\/strong>, and it had the wings of an eagle….<\/p>\n

“<\/strong>And there before me was a second beast (Medo-Persia<\/em>)<\/strong>, which looked like a bear.<\/strong> It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, 'Get up and eat your fill of flesh!'<\/p>\n

“<\/strong>…there before me was another beast (Greece<\/em>)<\/strong>, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule…<\/p>\n

“<\/strong>…and there before me was a fourth beast (Rome<\/em>)<\/strong>… It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left…, and it had ten horns…. there before me was another horn (a ruling power<\/em>), a little one,…This horn (Papacy<\/em>)<\/strong> had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully. As I looked, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days (Jehovah God<\/em>) took his seat (God<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>permitted <\/em><\/strong>these beastly governments to rule<\/em>)…His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.”<\/p>\n

Daniel 7:11-12 (NIV) – "Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words (Papacy claimed to be Christ’s kingdom on <\/em>Earth)<\/strong> the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the beast was slain<\/strong> and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire. (The other beasts had been stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time<\/strong>.)”<\/p>\n

Daniel 7:13-14 (NIV) – "and there before me was one like a son of man<\/strong> (Jesus Christ<\/em>), coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days…He was given authority<\/strong>, glory and sovereign power; all nations<\/strong> and peoples of every language worshiped him<\/strong>. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom<\/strong> is one that will never be destroyed.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Daniel 7:17-18 (NIV) – “The four great beasts are four kings<\/strong> that will rise from the earth. But the holy people of the Most High<\/strong> will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever–yes, for ever and ever<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
