America loves to call itself “One nation under God” and proudly sings “God Bless America” as if the phrase alone proves divine favor. Since 1776, the United States has carried a Christian identity, at least on the surface. But as the decades passed, especially since the 1990s, Christianity has declined, skepticism has risen, and the nation has opened its doors to countless belief systems.

Europeans are not more blessed than Africans. The differences in history do not reflect divine favoritism; they reflect oppression, injustice, and Satan’s long‑term strategy to sow confusion, division, and lies that keep people from seeing Christ clearly.

A lot of people from West and Central Africa, and across the Black diaspora, have wondered why their homelands don’t show up in the pages of Scripture. When you grow up in a world where history books reduce your ancestors to slavery, colonization, and suffering, it’s easy to feel like the Bible wasn’t written with you in mind.

In Daniel 12:4, the angel tells him, “But you, Daniel, keep these words secret and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam about, and knowledge will increase.”

That last line, knowledge will increase, feels like it was written for our generation.

The Bible says plainly that “many antichrists” are already in the world, anyone who denies that Jesus Christ came from God (1 John 4:3). But Scripture also warns of the Antichrist, a future world leader who will perform signs and wonders, deceive nations, and lead humanity into rebellion (Revelation 13:1-8).

This raises the question of why so many Christians, especially in the United States, feel obligated to support the modern Israeli government. Many point to Genesis 12:3, where God tells Abraham, 

“I will bless those who bless you, I will curse anyone who treats you with contempt, and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
