“And since our religion is not merely about individuals reaching up to God but rather of a nation bringing God down to Earth, the sanctuary must be made by the whole nation, va’asu.” Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, The International Jerusalem Post, February 1-7, 2008
“Exodus records the dramatic confrontation of Moses and Pharaoh, the crossing of the Red Sea, the journey to Mount Sinai and the two major events at Sinai- the giving of the law and the construction of the tabernacle. The book shows how God took an unorganized group of slaves and welded them together as a theocratic nation, i.e., a nation ruled by God. KJV, Zondervan, © 1994
What makes Holy Nation different from all other nations? In Exodus 33: 14 “The Lord replied [to Moses], ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’”
Theocracy- Government of a state by the immediate direction of God; or the state thus governed. Of this species the Israelites furnished an illustrious [distinguished; renowned] example. The theocracy lasted till the time of Saul. Theocracy- When a people or nation recognize God or a deity as their ruler and the king as God’s representative. God’s laws form the statute book for the kingdom and these are adminis-tered by priests or a religious caste who are perceived as His agents. The Book of RULE, How The World Is Governed, DK © 2004 Theocracy- Government of a state by the immediate direction of God (or by the assumed direction of a supposititious divinity), or the state thus governed. Black's Law Dictionary 6th Ed.; © 1990 Theocracy- 1. a form of government in which a deity is recognized as the supreme ruler. 2. a system of government by priests. 3. a state under a theocracy. Random House Webster Dictionary; © 2001 Holy- 1. Properly, whole, entire or perfect, in a moral sense. Hence, pure in heart, temper or dispositions; free from sin and sinful affections. Applied to the Supreme Being, holy signifies perfectly pure, immaculate and complete in moral character; and man is more or less holy, as his heart is more or less sanctified, or purified from evil dispositions. We call a man holy, when his heart is conformed in some degree to the image of God, and his life is regulated by the divine precepts. Hence, holy is used as nearly synonymous with good, pious, godly. "Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16; [Lev.11:44, 45]
American Dictionary of the English Language; Noah Webster 1828Nation- A people, or aggregation of men, existing in the form of an organized jural society, usually inhabiting a distinct portion of the earth, speaking the same language, using the same customs, possessing historic continuity, and distinguished from other like groups by their racial origin and characteristics, and generally, but not necessarily, living under the same government and sovereignty. Black's Law Dictionary 6th Ed.; © 1990
"And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it. No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there, and the ransomed of the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away." Isaiah 35:8-10 What is Holy Nation? Holy Nation is a society of people who willfully choose to live 100% to the Holy Scriptures. These people live according to the teachings of Jesus Christ, and are known as Christians- followers of Christ. These people have discovered that God’s Word is all sufficient to deal with every situation and circumstance that comes in life. Their eternal desire is to live with Him, to praise Him for the miracle of life, and to walk in unfailing love towards His creation: the earth, the animals, and ALL people!

The Judeo-Christian Holy Nation is entered voluntarily through belief and faith in Christ Jesus/Yeshua. It is NOT a political nation, but, rather, a spiritual nation that stands alone on the Holy Word of God. Its foundation and function is love. The very measure of greatness of a persons life in Christ is love. Neither money, wealth of possessions, title, rank, nor the external fashion of clothes empowers a person to give God's love. Love comes out of a pure heart and clear conscience towards God by Serving others beyond own self interests. Man can add nothing to the Kingdom of Heaven; rather, he must align himself with what is already established and true! -Thomas Millington, Amb. IICor.5:20

In comparison, the World's (secular) Nations are incapable of producing such a people, for they are under the curse of the law, meaning their political laws are powerless to create right action between other people. The world's system works only through coercion, undue influence, and duress. Threat, Duress, Coercion (TDC) It is written: "Now we know that
whatever the law says, it says to those who
are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held
accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight
by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin." -Romans 3:19, 20

Revelation 18:2-4 Amplified Version "And he shouted with a mighty voice, She is fallen! Mighty Babylon is fallen! She has become a resort and dwelling place for demons, a dungeon haunted by every loathsome spirit, an abode for every filthy and detestable bird; Because all nations have drunk the wine of her passionate unchastity, and the rulers and leaders of the earth have joined with her in committing fornication [idolatry], and the businessmen of the earth have become rich with the wealth of her excessive luxury and wantonness. I then heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out from her, my people, so that you may not share in her sins, neither participate in her plagues." Reference: Isaiah 48:20; Jeremiah 50:8} |

Exodus 19:5,6
5Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. 6And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."
1 Peter 2
9But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.It is written: "And in your Seed [Christ] shall all the nations of the earth be blessed and [by Him] bless themselves, because you have heard and obeyed My voice." - Genesis 22:18 Amplified Version
"But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ." - Romans 3:21, 22
"For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is He who will save us." -Isaiah 33:22"One only is the Lawgiver and Judge- [the One] Who has the absolute power of life and death- Who is able to save and destroy." -James 4:12 Amplified Version)
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one
another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law." Romans 13:8

October 21, 1999 correctly quoted me, Tom Millington: |
* Important Note: To ALL Brothers and Sisters in Christ- you need NOT have the decal or ID Card to be a reality Part of God's Holy Nation. It is written: "because those who are led by the Spirit of God are the Sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, 'Abba Father.' The Spirit himself testifies to our spirit that we are God's children." Romans 8: 14-16. |

One day you will look in the eastern sky and witness the single greatest event in the history of mankind. The trumpet will sound and the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the eternal Prince of Peace will suddenly appear. The dead in Christ shall meet Him in the air. We shall behold Jesus, the Christ who redeemed us from our sins so we could be called the sons of God. He is our Resurrected Lord who conquered death, hell and the grave. It was in Jerusalem that He rose from the dead in triumphant victory, and it is where He promised to return to gather His saints.

Do you know where you will be on that day? Will you be among those who go, or those who are left behind? Are you sure? |

"We are a Christian people....The right of religious freedom demands acknowledgement, with reverence, of the duty of obedience to the will of God." U.S. v. McIntosh.
Charles Malik, Ambassador to the United Nations from Lebanon (President of the General Assembly of the UN): "Whoever tries to conceive the American word without taking full account of the suffering and love and salvation of Christ is only dreaming. I know how embarrassing this matter is to politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen, and cynics; but, whatever these honored men think the irrefutable truth is that the soul of America is at its best and highest, Christian."
