PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE

Allegiance = Promised loyalty
To the flag = a symbol for USA
Of America = a UNION of people
To the Republic = sovereign man
For which it stands = government
One Nation = united states
Under God = beneath divine guidance
Indivisible = can NOT be separated
With Liberty = freedom to pursue
And Justice = entitled to fair laws
For All = afforded to each person
Regardless of race, religion, color, creed, or any other criteria, when Americans pledge their allegiance, their loyalty, their faith in a place, or a person, we relinquish our faith in God as the King of Kings. WHAT IF we switch our loyalty from the symbol of the flag, to the symbol of the cross? WHAT IF the citizens of America united all nations under God and pledged loyalty to Lord Jesus Christ, the name of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost? A clear warning in REV 2:10 when John warns the church that any glory given to Babylon is glory that belongs to God. The USA may be the best Babylon in the world, but it is still a nation of people who have been giving glory to a party of people, not God. John describes a marriage between God and His people and they are to be loyal lovers of Yahweh, for their faith to remain in God alone. His bride, a New Jerusalem, a new metropolis of people who live together with a purpose of glorifying God. Oh Lord, let us be JUBILANT as we honor Your holy living Word:
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE CROSS
And to the community of people
For which it still stands
A NEW Metropolis, our Jerusalem
Under God
INDIVISIBLE
with freedom of all captives
by our Lord Jesus Christ - AMEN
Revelation 21:3 "and God himself will be be with them; he will wipe away every tear
from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning
nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away" The photo below was taken in 1919 and used by the Red Cross. Pain and sorrow is evident in the eyes of the refugee children. This collage was used to convey the message that through The Cross, someday all pain and suffering will be over. AMEN
