PREFACE
I am going to begin with an important admonition. Be like the Bereans spoken of in Acts 17:11. Look up these things I say for yourself and come to your own conclusions.
Introduction
The book of Leviticus contains a list of blessings that God promises to bestow upon Israel if they follow His commands. It also contains a list of consequences if they do not follow His commands. Israel was set aside by God to serve as an example through which the rest of the world can know Him. As such, with few exceptions, what applies to Israel, also applies to every other nation in the world.
The United States began with a Christian background. Its laws formed on a Christian basis. While the constitution does keep religion and state governance separate, the country did follow Christian ideals for a time. Even so, the country is still subject to God’s desires. The rules that apply to Israel and thus the blessings and consequences, apply to the United States as well; with the exception of those that apply to being a chosen nation.
