Song of Solomon 2:4 says, “His banner over me was love.”

Our country was founded as a Christian nation; it is based on the Christian values. We have a Christian heritage to maintain in this nation. That’s why this country came into existence.

It came into being because our forefathers wanted to be able to go someplace where they could worship God free from the control of state dictators.

We can even see this Christian heritage represented in the design of our national flag.  Old Glory. Why do you think it’s called Old Glory? Glory is the manifested presence of God. This country was created by God to be a habitation for his presence. And that’s why it’s called Old Glory.

The focal point of our flag is the stars which are set on a blue background.  We know from the Word that blue is the color of heaven. 

Stars are representative of people in Scripture.  God told Abraham, “I’m going to make your seed as the stars of the heavens.” 

The center point of our flag is the field of blue, populated by stars that represent the people of this nation who are not only Americans, but the seed of Abraham…that is, those who are Christians. 

There are seven red stripes and six white stripes on our flag.  The seven red stripes represent God and we know it’s by the stripes of Jesus that we are healed. 

It’s by His shed blood we’ve been made pure which is the color of the six white stripes.  White represents purity and six is the scriptural number of man. 

So six represents “man”, made white by virtue of the seven red stripes, seven is the number of God—having spilled His blood and taken stripes on His back for our redemption.

Our nation is a Christian nation. It’s founded on Christian precepts and ethics. When we preserve our Christian heritage we will once again see this nation’s problems begin to dissolve.

Our flag represents our nation and what we believe.  Display the American flag in the light of God’s Word, and do not let anything or anyone force its removal from our land.
