Battle Hymn of the Republic - from Doug

Hi Suzanne,

This "hymn" has been running through my mind these last few days. I think it's appropriate for this hour we are in. This is to be taken in The Spiritual context of our warfare.

The Battle Hymn Of The "Republic"("state in which supreme power rests in the people via elected representatives,") i.e. those who have ELECTED and CHOSEN JESUS CHRIST TO BE THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR, THE POWER OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT WORKS IN AND THROUGH US TO ACCOMPLISH HIS WILL FOR HIS GLORY!!

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stored
He has loosed the fateful lightening
Of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on

I have seen him in the watch-fires
Of a hundred circling camps
They have builded him an altar
In the evening dews and damps
I can read his righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on

I have read a fiery gospel
Writ in burnish'd rows of steel
As ye deal with my condemners
So with you my grace shall deal
Let the hero, born of woman
Crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on

Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Our God is marching on

He has sounded form the trumpet
That shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men
Before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul
To answer him be jubilant, my feet
Our God is marching on

Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Our God is marching on

In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in his bosom
That transfigures you and me
As he died to make men holy
Let us live to make men free
While God is marching on

Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Our God is marching on

The interesting meaning of Independence is from In-Dependence or away from dependence. What started as a colony breaking away from British rule, has resulted in a nation "breaking away, and no longer dependent, on it's Heavenly King.

 

An interesting note: taking the date, 7/4/15, and adding them up you get 26. 26, for the Hebrew scholars is the same number value for YHVH(Yahweh). It is The Hour, for His people to divest themselves of all allegiances to this World System, and, completely "join" ourselves to Him, The Head of the Body.

Hold On To Jesus!!
