About this sermon
What does it truly mean to be a civilization on the edge—and can we return before it's too late? In this moving and historically rich address, I had the profound honor of speaking about America’s roots, its spiritual DNA, and what it will take for us to avoid irreversible decline. From my family’s deep involvement in the restoration of Israel to reflections on today’s radical ideologies, I walk through history to draw a map toward renewal. For those of us who cherish freedom, faith, and the foundations that made the West strong, this message is more than timely—it is essential. I share stories never told before, such as how my great-grandfather’s prophetic vision aligned with the events of 1917, and how today's anti-Semitism is not only evil—but deeply irrational, even suicidal for the West. We are not doomed to repeat decline. Scripture offers not just warning—but a promise of exile and return. The path back is one of covenant, truth, and courage. As we approach 2026, America's 250th anniversary, I invite you to consider what a rededication might look like—for the Church, the nation, and each of us. If you care about America’s future, this talk is for you.
