Misguided forces in our world
seek to reinstate Nero's declaration
in 64 AD, branding Christianity
an illegal religion,
not simply to announce it as truth,
but to make all people everywhere
believe it- and act on that belief.
Even in our nation, it's working!
We Christians help push the wagon
with our narrow, misguided emphasis
on "Separation of Church & State."
In our effort to keep the Government
out of the church, we've unwittingly
brought it in. Government regulation
is now at ridiculous extremes.
Our children cannot pray in public,
bibles are banned. God's name is stricken
from songs, prayers, coins. Mustn't pray
in Jesus' name, this might be offensive.
Christians are despised, persecuted,
just as prophesied in Nero's day.
Because America is known as a Christian
nation, our country is hated, our people
slaughtered- just as they were in 64 A.D.
