America was the seal of perfection, wisdom, and beauty in the eyes of God.

“Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God: You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.” Ezekiel 28:11-12

The king of Tyre represents the guiding force or founding principles that governed Tyre. Tyre was the seal of perfection and beauty and full of wisdom. However, a time came when Tyre succumbed to sin and God speaks a word of lamentation against Tyre through Ezekiel.

In 1776, America was founded on principles rooted in God, Jesus Christ, and life in the Holy Spirit. That is evident because there is practically a church building within every street block. America is described by the Holy Spirit as once being the “…seal of perfection…”, and that perfection is found in Holiness in the fear of God, as quoted, “Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1

The Holy Spirit describes America as once being full of wisdom, and that is how her house was built, “Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; By knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.” Proverbs 24:3-4 America was a wise man who was building the house on the rock of Jesus Christ, “I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” Matthew 7:24-25

When God sees beauty in us, He sees Jesus Christ within us, and Jesus Christ gives us the beauty of Holiness. America was once perfect in beauty in the eyes of God, she was living for the Holiness found in Jesus Christ. The culture of America once worshipped the Lord in the beauty of Holiness, feared God, and gave glory to Him through Jesus Christ. America was obeying the word of God, “Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth.” Psalms 96:9 “Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Psalms 29:2

This was all true until sin was found in America. “By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God.” Ezekiel 28:16

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
