Day 2 -- SEAL America

A TALE OF TWO CITIES

Abraham left his birthplace to look for "A city with foundations, whose builder and make was God." There are two archetypes of cities: Babel and Bethel. There are two architects: Nimrod, and God. Nimord, the mighty hunter against God, was the founder of the Babylon -- a secular-humanist city, was created to wall God out of the affairs of men. Whereas, the New Jerusalem was created by the Prince of Peace to welcome men into the affairs of God.

An ancient instinct compells me towards Bethel. I've traveled all my life, and I've been to thousands of cities. At the root, they are all fortresses against God. People are too drunk with power, too driven ambition, and too distracted by lust to think much about heaven. Who stands to gain when men loose their souls?

In 2008, SEAL America will travel to fifty-one, sgnificant, secular cities -- every one an important capitol. Why? To cover them with the blood of the lamb, in the hope that the cities of this world will become the cities of our God. One day, Heavenly Jerusalem will descend upon earthly Jerusalem -- the city of God will eclipse the city of man. Until then, we can pray, "Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."
