 Barack Obama Is Building A New Evil, Anti-Christian, Empire, Understanding the Crisis in the Ukraine (With Russia), Etc., by Dr. Peter Hammond (Free MP3)
Though Dr. Hammond employs a much too broad view of what is Christian (especially as it applies to nations), and he supports Roman Catholic/Pagan holy days (like Christ-Mass [Christmas] and Easter, see "Christmas Is A Roman Catholic Missions Strategy"), nevertheless, there is still much useful cultural, political and historical information included in this message, which is very relevant to Christians today. Further into this message Hammond also exposes Barack Obama's (and his administration's) evil Anti-Christian push for socialism, Evolutionism, abortion, sexual perversion, Godless public eduction, etc., domestically and internationally, as well as how this impacts various other nations in various ways. Obama's support of Islam is also made crystal clear (see "Obama Rebuilds Mosques While Churches Burn"), as is how Obama's policies have lead to much additional persecution and the murder (martyrdom) of many Christians around the world (at the hands of Muslims). There are also many reasons here as to why you should distrust the mainstream media, the filth that flows from Hollywood, and the Godless propaganda and lies spewed forth from all anti-Christian civil governments.
I lay down this maxime of Divinitie; Tyranny being a worke of Sathan, is not from God, because sinne either habituall or actuall, is not from God; the power that is, must be from God; the Magistrate as Magistrate, is good, in nature of office, and the intrinsecall end of his office, Rom. 13:4. for he is the Minister of God for thy good; and therefore a power ethicall, politick, or morall, to oppresse, is not from God, and is not a power, but a licentious deviation of a power, and is no more from God, but from sinfull nature, and the old serpent, then a license to sinne. - Samuel Rutherford,

The nations are bound to recognize the Bible as the supreme law of the land; as the standard of civil legislation. God's law as recorded in the Bible, reaches all the possible relations of humanity; extends to every duty that can be performed, and fastens its claims on associated bodies of men, as well as upon individual persons.
Were this not true, we should have this monstrous anomaly in Jehovah's government, that while men, as individuals, are bound by the laws recorded in the Bible, in their congregated capacities, they may set these laws at defiance, and even contemn as citizens, what as Christians they are bound to honor and obey. ... The nations are bound to evince their subjection to the Son of God, by filling all their official stations with upright, godly and able men. ...
In all their political institutions the nations are bound to subserve the interests of the church of God, and promote, truth and godliness. ...
In all their civil, criminal, and international concerns, the kingdoms should have a supreme regard to the glory of God. - The Subjection of Kings and Nations to Messiah (1820) by James R. Willson on the Puritan Hard Drive

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Biblical Civil Government Versus the Beast; and, the Basis for Christian Resistance by Greg Price (Free Online Book) This is the best modern testimony for the biblical principles of civil magistracy -- which were so prominent during the height of the second Reformation -- that we have seen. Price documents the teachings of many of the major Reformers (and some of the church fathers) and in an easy reading manner simplifies what can at times become a very complex subject. This particular Reformation message, proclaiming Christ's Kingship over the nations (and the practical outworking of the same), has been buried from the view of the general public for some time now, but is once again being brought to light in this very helpful introductory book. A sobering appendix has been added (written by a friend of the covenanted Reformation) which shows why it is unlawful for a Christian to swear any oath to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution. This appendix also compares the points of difference between classic (or historic) Reformed teaching and modern Reformed teaching regarding magistracy and religion. Special attention is paid to the OPC, the PCA and the RPCNA and the changes that these groups have made to second Reformation confessional standards (concerning matters related to the civil magistrate). Statements by B.B. Warfield are also contrasted to the older Reformed views. You won't find a better easy-to-read and easy to understand introduction to this important topic -- a topic which impacts directly on every Christian's testimony for the crown rights of King Jesus!

Below is a quote (emphases added) from the first sermon, by Greg Price, in the What is a Christian Nation? series above. Objection: Why spend time in a sermon (let alone a series of sermons) on matters related to the civil government? Christ's kingdom is not of this world. We should rather spend our time addressing only the salvation of souls and matters related to the spiritual kingdom of Christ. Answer: Now while I agree that the primary subject of preaching is that of the salvation of sinners through Jesus Christ, I do not agree that Christ's salvation is limited to the soul of man (or mere spiritual matters). The salvation of Christ, dear ones, extends as far as the curse of God extends upon mankind due to sin.  Did the curse of God extend only to the soul? Absolutely not! The curse of God extended to the body of man, to the toil of man, to the birth of man, and to the social relationships of man in civil society. Who would dare look at the wickedness and tyranny of laws and leaders in nations today, and yet declare that sin and God's curse has not extended to the civil realm of society? More importantly, consider the record of biblical revelation in which God clearly reveals how sin polluted the civil realm (beginning in the book of Genesis and forward) as well as the individual, familial, and ecclesiastical realms of mankind (for example, in the book of Genesis from the very beginning we see the curse upon the civil society that built the tower of Babel, Genesis 11:1-9; the tyranny of the kings in enslaving Lot and his family, Genesis 14:12; the civil toleration of gross sodomy in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, Genesis 19:1-11). Thus, if the redemption of Christ is to be complete and to reach as far as does the curse, civil rulers and civil governments must come to Christ (as we see shall be the case as predicted in Psalm 72:8-11, and note that this prophecy is fulfilled in history "throughout all generations" verse 5; Zechariah 2:11; Revelation 11:15). Moreover, it is an error to interpret the words of Christ ("my kingdom is not of this world", literally "my kingdom is not out of this world") spoken to the Roman governor, Pilate (in John 18:36) to mean that Christ's dominion as Mediator does not extend over civil governments. It is indeed true that Christ's kingdom does not ORIGINATE from "out of" this world (for it is often called the "kingdom of heaven" as it originates with Christ who reigns over all from His mediatorial throne at God's right hand in heaven). But though Christ's kingdom does not ORIGINATE from "out of" this world, it does come TO this world and brings life, righteousness, and peace through the power of the God's Spirit and through the Gospel of Jesus Christ (as we see this kingdom announced by John the Baptist and by Christ Himself, Matthew 3:2; Matthew 12:28; Mark 1:15). Thus, the kingdom of Christ brings Christ's gracious and righteous rule to bear in all of creation where sin has spread its deadly rebellion and power to destroy. There where tyranny and corruption pollute is where Christ spreads his life-giving power of renewal through His life, death, and resurrection. And as was said earlier, one of those realms where sin has so pervasively manifested its ugly head is in the realm of civil government. Therefore, the redeeming power of Christ and His heavenly kingdom must and does bring peace not only to individuals and to families, but also brings peace to nations and their civil leaders (as official representatives of the nations).  | | John Knox |
Another way of saying the same thing is that Christ, as God's appointed Mediator, exercises a universal dominion by way of His royal rule over all things to the glory of God and to the benefit and profit of His church (Matthew 28:18; Ephesians 1:19-23). This universal dominion includes, therefore, all kings and kingdoms, all rulers and nations without exception, even those as we shall see who rebel against and resist Christ (Psalm 22:27,28; Jeremiah 10:7; Revelation 19:15,16). Christ's universal dominion over all nations (not only Israel) is demonstrated throughout Scripture in the judgment He brings upon nations that persist in rebelling against Him and His Moral Law (upon Egypt, Isaiah 19:1,4; upon Moab, Jeremiah 48:1,7; upon Babylon, Jeremiah 50:1,2; upon Tyre, Amos 1:9). Thus, Christ's kingdom and His rule as God's appointed Mediator, dear ones, is not limited in its dominion.
