If The United States of America Repents, Will God Heal The Nation? This week on the Straight Truth Podcast, Dr. Josh Philpot shares with Dr. Richard Caldwell that 2 Chronicles 7:14 from the Old Testament gets brought up constantly in the United States by pastors and lay Christians alike, politicians, and many others familiar with it. We can read blogs and articles on the internet that refer to it and even watch videos promising great hope if we would only turn and repent. In all fairness, this is understandable as we witness the rapid moral and spiritual decline transpiring in our nation. Debauchery and sin are everywhere, from the highest level to the lowest. People want to claim the promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14 because they want to see God heal our land. There’s even talk of people praying for a great revival such as what happened at Nineveh. Dr. Philpot asks Dr. Caldwell what does he hear from this text? How does he interpret this text? Additionally, he asks if Americans repent like Nineveh will God spare us from further decline; will He fix us and turn us in a better direction? To this last question, Dr. Caldwell says the answer is no. It’s important to remember that for any verse of Scripture we read, we must consider the context for proper interpretation. This is what biblical hermeneutics is all about. He says that when we mishandle verses, it causes us to be left with misunderstanding. The context for 2 Chronicles 7:14 is the theocratic national people of God, the nation of Israel, whom God chose for Himself to serve as a light to the nations. Through that nation, until the coming of His Son, they were to be the primary means He would use to disseminate truth to the world.
