America Divided, Split or Cut for its efforts in dividing the ‘burdensome’ stone Jerusalem: National Review editor expresses doubts about bridging America’s political divide

America Divided Split Cut:

Zechariah 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Matthew 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Mark 3:24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

Mark 3:25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Luke 11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

Luke 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

The US Government has become politically divided and is in discord and disunity. The political division affecting and splitting America is a direct result of its efforts to ‘divide Jerusalem’ via the ‘Deal of the Century’ or the regional covenant of peace and security in the Middle East. Throughout scripture, God has made it abundantly clear that Jerusalem is the ‘apple of his eye’ and has his stamp of ownership on it … above all other cities on earth. God makes it adequately clear in Zechariah 12:3 that any nation that attempts to cut or divide up Jerusalem, will themselves be cut up or divided. As such, the US is cut or divided politically because of its leadership role in attempting to split God’s Holy City of earthly Jerusalem. Plain and simple.

OK. So it’s clear about the accelerating implosion of political unity in the US. Political discord will get worse and become angrier, antagonistic, confrontational, and hateful with little to no compromise, concession, agreement or unity. Contempt and distrust rules the day. Some would say this is already the case not only between Democrats and Republicans, but also within each party. Whether you believe the US being extremely divided is a result of God’s wrath for its role in dividing Jerusalem or not, it doesn’t matter. The fact remains that the US is becoming bitterly more and more divided. This division has also taken place in culture (LGBTQP+ social inclusiveness agenda), economics (income inequality), etc. The list can go on. America is divided on so many levels, not just politically.

America Divided, Split or Cut for its efforts in dividing the ‘burdensome’ stone Jerusalem: National Review editor expresses doubts about bridging America’s political divide

Fri Dec 13, 2019 – 3:36 pm EST. December 13, 2019

December 13, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The American people are currently fighting over numerous political and cultural issues that speak to some of society’s most fundamental values, leading many to question whether the divisions between Left and Right are irreconcilable. National Review editor and The Case for Nationalism author Rich Lowry offered his thoughts on the question on this week’s episode of The Van Maren Show. 

Noting that the “term American without shared values becomes sort of a useless term,” Jonathon Van Maren asked whether “the abyss can be bridged” in light of such fundamental divides on issues such as abortion and sex-change surgery for children, and each half of the country viewing the other as an existential threat.

“I try to be an optimist, I’m not particularly optimistic about this,” Lowry responded. “The great divide, as you say, it’s deeper than ever before. It wouldn’t shock me, I know this sounds alarmist, but if Trump’s reelected, it wouldn’t shock me if we saw some really no-kidding defiance of federal authority out of California at some point in the next four years.” (anarchy)

There is this deep cultural divide, and it’s hard to see how it heals absent some sort of crisis,” he lamented. “It’s hugely concerning. People just have totally different ideas of 1. what the Constitution is, of 2. what the good life is, of 3. what morality is.”

The two went on to contrast the modern American Left, which challenges the legitimacy of America’s founding principles and societal pillars such as the nuclear family, with the civil rights movement of the 1960s, which challenged society to live up to the Founding era’s promise of human equality.

“There are also a lot of lies about ourselves, and this is also just the sweep of human history,” Lowry said. “A really bizarre thing because usually throughout all history you lie about the other guy. So, you know, the French lie about the Germans (not that they need to lie very much to make them look bad), the Germans lie about the French. But lying about yourself, and trying to delegitimize your own nation, is something extraordinarily new.”

Black Lives Matter “sees the nation as rotten to its core, as a shot through with white supremacy inexorably and from the beginning,” he continued. “Beto O’Rourke, you know, this disgraceful campaign, one of his moments was he had this San Antonio roundtable with recent refugees and tell you have people, desperate people who the best thing it’s ever, ever going to happen to them and their families is they got here. And what’s he tell them about America? It’s a white supremacist country. And God knows we’ve had a historical failings. We have our failings now. But that’s about tearing us down and ripping out any ligaments that might unite us. And it’s a really distressing phenomena.”

Yet Lowry offered some hope for a light at the end of the tunnel. He rejected comparisons to the American Civil War (from which America recovered, despite it being the bloodiest conflict in US history), noting that modern tensions are still far below the levels of violence and hostility seen in the decade preceding that conflict. (for now)

He also maintained that the very term “American” still has meaning despite the Left-Right divide, noting that most Americans remain proud of the United States. Gallup reported in July that while national pride is declining, 70% (7) of US adults still say they are proud to be Americans.
