America For God
T. DeWitt Talmage
Rev., 13: 11: "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spake as a dragon."
Is America mentioned in the Bible? Learned and consecrated men, who have studied the inspired books of Daniel and Revelation more than I have, and understand them better, agree in saying that the leopard mentioned in the Bible meant Grecia, and the bear meant Medo-Persia, and the lion meant Baby- lon, and the beast of the text coming up out of the earth with two horns like a lamb, and the voice of a dragon means our country; because, among other reasons, it seemed to come up out of the earth when Columbus discovered it, and it has been for the most part at peace, like a lamb, unless assaulted by foreign foe, in which case it has had two horns strong and sharp, and the voice of a dragon loud enough to make all nations hear the roar of its indignation. is it reasonable to suppose that God would leave out from the prophecies of his Book this whole Western Hemi- sphere? No, no! "I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon." Germany for scholarship. England for manufactories. France for manners. Egypt for antiquities. Italy for pictures. But America for God !
I start with the cheering thought that the most popular book on earth to-day is the Bible, the most popular institution on earth to-day is the church, and the most popular name on earth to-day is Jesus. From this audience hundreds of men and women would, if need be, march out and die for him. Am I too con- fident in saying "America for God?" If the Lord will help me I will show the strength and extent of the long line of fortresses to be taken, and give you my reasons for saying it can be done and will be done. Let us decide, in this battle for God, whether we are at Bull Run or at Gettysburg. There is a Fourth of Julyish way of bragging about this country, and the most tired an ...
