The just man, firm of purpose

After World War Two, General Sir Brian Robertson who was the Deputy Military Governor of the British Zone of Occupation wrote the following in January 1946, quoting Horace (Odes, III.3):

‘Justum et tenacem propositi virum’ (The just man, firm of purpose)

"If you want to know what I think should be our attitude in Germany then I recommend to you to read those lines yourselves.”

Here is what Sir Robertson wanted them to read - translated Latin quotation from Horace:

“The just man, firm of purpose cannot be shaken in his rock-like soul, by the heat of fellow citizens clamoring for what is wrong, nor by the presence of a threatening tyrant.”

America must make a choice in what we are going to achieve. The just person who is firm on purpose will know because they have asked for wisdom (James 1:5). Our fellow citizens are clamoring for what is wrong and trying to shake anyone who has built on the Rock (Matthew 7:24) along with our media, all media, being critics that is offering nothing but manufactured panic (Proverbs 15:4). The tyrant IS BOTH sides of our party system! (Deuteronomy 16:18-20; Proverbs 19:21).  I made a post back in 2008 about the party system and my thoughts are the same today. As George Washington stated in his farewell address, "[the party system] agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms."

So, who is "right". It will forever and always be one answer. God. (Acts 5:29)

Yes, as Christians our citizenship is in two nations - earthly and Heavenly (Eph 2:6-7; John 18:36).  I would never nullify my earthly over the heavenly.  The apostle Paul claimed his Roman citizenship (Acts 16:37-39; 22:22-29).  However, all the while maintaining his heavenly citizenship (Phil. 3:20).  Paul also gave the words, "We must obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29)  Again, as Americans we must make of choice of purpose.
