TEHILLIM 100

3 Know ye that Yahweh he is Elohim: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Israel alone has been politically adopted

State religions are established upon the hypothesis that the people are God's people, and therefore as acceptable worshippers as the Jews under the law; and 'that they are constitutionally "in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ!" Hence, they call the nations of Europe "Christian nations."

But a greater fallacy was never entertained. There are no Christian nations; neither indeed can there be until the formula of political adoption shall be made known. The nations are now in satan their father, and in his vicegerent the lord pope. Hence, it may be said to them as Jesus said to the rulers and clergy of Israel,

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the works of your father ye do."

The devil is their father by birth and constitution. The nations of Europe became the people of satan by constitution, when they put on the pope as their high priest and mediator according to the Justinian code.

Having received this, they became satan's seed, and the pope's brethren; and being thus, in satan and in the pope, are joint-heirs with them of a "just punishment, even an everlasting destruction" to issue forth "from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His power" (2 Thess.1:8), which hangs over them like the hair-suspended sword of Dionysius, ready to fall with death-dealing vengeance on every side.
