Biblical Ornaments or Biblical Code?Let’s examine some of Mr. Bush’s statements from his second Inaugural Address that demonstrate he was speaking in religious code. In fact, he repeatedly wrapped himself in the cloak of biblical expressions that are very well known to evangelical Christians in general and to dominionists specifically. In so doing, he was speaking over the heads of most Americans to reach his religious base.
In all of the following quotes, I have added emphasis in order to facilitate comparisons between what Mr. Bush said and the quotes from the Bible. All the biblical quotes in this section are from the King James Version.
The Bible: “Brethren ye have been called unto liberty ” (Galatians 5:13)
Mr. Bush: “Eventually, the call of freedom comes to every mind and every soul.”
The Bible: “Who has saved us, and called us with an holy calling…” (II Timothy 1:9)
The Bible: “… the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14)
The Bible: “…the heavenly calling…” (Hebrews 3:1)
Mr. Bush: “Now it is the urgent requirement of our nation’s security and the calling of our time.”
The Bible: “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13: 8)
Mr. Bush: “Americans move forward in every generation by reaffirming all that is good and true that came before: ideals of justice and conduct that are the same yesterday, today and forever.”
Here I would like to interject this observation: The verse referenced is universally known by evangelical, fundamentalist and Pentecostal Christians. Therefore the context of the President’s statement clearly shows he was addressing only “Christians” in their “ideals of justice” and only “Christians” when he used the word “conduct” for he was specifically referencing what he considered to be eternal principles of behavior—not shared by secular Americans.
The Bible: “And ye shall…proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof…” (Leviticus 25:10)
Mr. Bush: “America, in this young century, proclaims liberty throughout all the world and to all the inhabitants thereof.”
This particular verse is very significant to dominionists and is often quoted and referenced in their literature and by their popularizers like Pat Robertson. Note that Mr. Bush changes the concept from the original Bible verse which was limited to the land the Israelites occupied following the exodus, to the concept of “all the world.” This is a significant step on Mr. Bush’s part. He is announcing global biblical “Christian” spiritual emancipation. We are about to see why this is so.
