Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to express once again tonight my thanks for your coming to my lecture. My topic tonight is "God's Hope For America."
I love all of you very much, because I love God--and God loves America and the American people.
It has been a cardinal principle of God's providence that in order to receive God's blessing you must first demonstrate your worthiness of the blessing. Throughout history there have been many righteous people who demonstrated their worthiness of God's blessing by leading sacrificial lives. Nevertheless, we know that the
world we live in today is not literally God's kingdom. We learn that human history started on the wrong footing, on the evil side. This is why the Bible says that the god of this world is Satan.
It has been the strategy of God to summon champions out of this evil world in order to restore the world and build His kingdom. To understand His ways, let us
therefore examine the history of God's providence. The family of Adam was the first family in God's creation. In this family there was a man, Abel, whom God chose to be
His first champion. Abel served God wholeheartedly, and became the first man to give up his life for God's purpose.
