Hey guys, it's Ashley.

Welcome back to the Righteous Remnant and I'm here with Dennis.

Hey.

We got some direct messages recently and we wanted to make an episode specifically about two clips that we saw on Instagram.

And so what we're going to be doing today is another reaction episode and we're going to be talking about Christian nationalism and what Charlie Kirk

met by he's a Christian and a nationalist. And so we're just going to go ahead and watch the video.

Sure. I've never described myself as a Christian nationalist. I'm a Christian and a nationalist.

And then right there, that and nationalist, where in the scriptures? Jeremiah 297, demand the welfare of the nation that you are in because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare. Daniel fasted and prayed for his nation. Esther and Mordecai cared for their nation. They were a counselor to the king. Nehemiah, Jeremiah, Joseph. Moses was so political that he wrote an entire book all about how to set up a government. It's the book of Deuteronomy.

Just so we're clear, do you think that the New Testament is greater than the Old Testament? It is. It is greater because of the revelation of fun. You think that all of a sudden, like, Genesis 1 is not as great just because of the New Testament? Christ our Lord said, on this rock, build my what? Ecclesia. It's not the word church. As the original Greek term says, on this rock, build my government structure.

I think your interpretation here misses the heart of what these passages. It's not the word church. As the original Greek term says, on this rock, build my government structure.

I think your interpretation here misses the heart of what these passages teach.

Let's go ahead and walk through them.

You start with Jeremiah 29-7.

Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile.

That's not a blueprint for building a Christian nation.

In Jeremiah's day, God's people were exiles in Babylon. This was a call to live faithfully

as strangers in a foreign land not to establish political rule. The whole point is faithful presence

in exile, not national dominance. And the other examples you gave, right? Esther, Jacob,

and even the instructions in Deuteronomy, for example, they fit the same theme. Esther served God in Persia without setting up a Jewish state.
