  "content": "Christian Nationalism is equally difficult to pin down in many ways.\n\nI probably take a stance that makes some Two Kingdoms guys, especially the more R2K ones, think I am a Christian Nationalist and some Christian Nationalists think I am on the Two Kingdoms side.\n\nI believe that we are strangers and sojourners primarily looking forward to the new heavens and new earth, and not pre-parousial Christian utopia. However, I view that eternal outlook as enabling us to live boldly and brightly as a city on a hill, with a duty to seek to have Christian values reflected in our culture and civil government whenever possible, even knowing that we will face resistance and persecution more often than success.\n\nThe R2K folks often point to Hebrews 11, and how Abraham lived in the land of promise \"as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob\" (v. 9) because he \"was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God\" (v. 10) and toward \"a better country, that is, a heavenly one\" (v. 16). However, that same eternal focus on the ultimate fulfillment of the promise is what enabled him and those after him to take a stand against unrighteous kings, (v. 27), to topple unrighteous cities and nations (vv. 30, 33), \"enforce justice\" (v. 33), \"become mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight\" (v. 34), and other great deeds connected with temporal civil and cultural reformation. \n\nThe fact that the promises of God are ultimately fulfilled after Christ's return does not absolve Christians of duty here and now. Rather it enables us to joyfully go about our duty without regard to the temporal outcome, knowing that whether God blesses our efforts or brings them to naught in this life, he will ultimately bring everything in subjection to him. Christ is not called King of Kings for nothing.",
