You will sooner or later be forced to choose between two different systems of Christianity. One system will force you to conform. It is called “Babylon.” Babylon is based on the traditions of men. The other system forces no one, but offers complete freedom of conscience. It is called the “remnant.”
The remnant is the object of persecution by the forces of Babylon because they “keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus” (Rev. 12:17).
The Babylonian system is now closer than ever to becoming a threat to religious freedom. The sign? On February 24, 2026, the President of the United States made the following statements at his state of the union address to the nation:
“There has been a tremendous renewal of religion, faith, Christianity, and belief in God, a tremendous renewal.”
“We love religion, and we love bringing it back, and it’s coming back at levels nobody thought possible.”
“When God needs a nation to work His miracles, He knows exactly who to ask.”
“Our destiny is written by the hand of Providence, and these first 250 years were just the beginning.”
“The golden age of America is upon us.”
“Our future will be bigger, better, brighter, bolder, and more glorious than ever before.”
The President has made similar statements before, such as claiming he wanted to “make Christianity great again,” presumably through legislation. Such language comes directly from the tenets of Christian nationalism. Christian nationalists presume that their notions of Christianity are the only true version, and that it should become the national religion.
Of course, such an idea runs counter to the founding principles of the nation, which advocate the separation of church and state and a rejection of religious tests for office holders. Clearly, the President is not letting up on his religious rhetoric after more than a year in office.
Project 2025, a document created by people now in the administration for guidance to policy makers, expresses support for a national Sunday law. If implemented, such a law would be the first of its kind. Sunday blue laws are on the books of many states, but are not ordinarily enforced. A national Sunday law would pay homage to the Roman papacy, since Sunday bears its mark of authority. The papacy gradually changed the law of God over its early centuries in regard to Sunday, which is of pagan origin.
Christians who honor the biblical Sabbath (Saturday) will become heretics. Non-Christians will be forced to conform, at least in an external way. There’s a growing sense in America that Muslims, Hindus, and others are not real Americans. But according to our constitution, religion is not an identifying mark of an American citizen. That’s about to change.
All people in the United States would welcome a golden age. Unfortunately, such a golden age is a dream and not what the Bible predicts. The future of the nation, and the world, is dire. Jesus, the great authority on Truth, clearly describes what the future looks like:
“Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains” (Matt. 24:7-8).
Jesus continues, “Then they will deliver you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another, and many false prophets will arise and mislead many. Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matt. 24:10-14).
Does this sound like a golden age? No, a union of church and state will be the opposite. God’s true followers, His remnant people, will live through a religious dystopia, a time of attack on their conscientious adherence to the Word of God and their refusal to bow to the forces of Babylon.
I appeal to you to go to Jesus, the Rock on whom you must stand in the coming union of church and state, a union that will repeat the oppressions of the Middle Ages. In addition, study the Bible for yourself. Prepare to make the right choice.
In love, Jesus calls you to come out of Babylon. She is doomed to destruction. (See Rev. 18:4).
