PAROUSIA AND THE IMMINENT SECOND COMING of JESUS: WHAT ARE CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM AND THE PROJECT 2025 MANDATE FOR LEADERSHIP?

We are in Parousia and the Second Coming of Jesus is imminent. There are two movements that are growing and maturing. Christian Nationalism and Project 2025, The Mandate for Leadership.

Christian nationalism is a term used to describe a political and cultural ideology that seeks to merge Christianity with national identity or governance. It is characterized by the belief that the nation should be explicitly Christian in nature, and that Christian beliefs and values should play a central role in shaping government policies, laws, and societal norms.

Key features of Christian nationalism may include:

1. Religious Identity and Nationalism: Advocates of Christian nationalism often emphasize the idea that the nation’s identity is intrinsically tied to its Christian heritage. They may argue that the nation was founded on Christian principles and seek to preserve or restore what they see as a Christian foundation. American history would argue that the United States was founded on blended secular and Christian belief system, neither a secular nation nor a theocracy.

The founding of America was influenced by a variety of philosophical, political, and religious ideas. The United States was not explicitly founded as a secular nation, nor was it founded as a theocracy. Instead, the Founding Fathers sought to establish a government that protected religious freedom and avoided the pitfalls of religious persecution and coercion that had occurred in Europe.

Several key principles reflect the founders’ approach to religion and governance:

Religious Freedom: The framers of the United States Constitution, many of whom were influenced by the Enlightenment, recognized the importance of religious freedom. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, explicitly prohibits the establishment of a state religion and protects the free exercise of religion.

Separation of Church and State: Although the phrase “separation of church and state” does not appear in the Constitution, it has been interpreted from the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The idea is to prevent the government from favoring one religion over another or interfering with the practice of religion.

Deistic Influences: Some of the Founding Fathers, including Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, held Deistic beliefs. Deism generally involves the idea of a Creator God but often rejects specific religious doctrines. While not all founders were Deists, their influence contributed to a more secular tone in certain aspects of the founding era.

It’s important to note that while the principles mentioned above reflect a commitment to religious freedom and a degree of secularism in governance, the United States has always been a diverse nation with citizens of various religious beliefs. The historical context also includes periods where specific Christian values played a role in public discourse.
