“A City upon a Hill” is a phrase derived from the teaching of Jesus Christ in his ‘Sermon on the Mount’. Its use in political rhetoric is used in United States politics as a declaration of American Exceptionalism, referring to America acting as a “beacon of hope” for the world.
Jesus said great signs would be given to indicate the Day of the LORD. In the early morning hours of this day, there appeared a great sign in heaven. A Super ‘Blood’ Moon, Total Lunar Eclipse. He said to ‘Watch!’ so that day does not come upon you in unawareness. For as a snare it shall come upon all them that dwell upon the face of the whole earth.
“But when you shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not yet. Then he said to them, ‘Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in diverse/different places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven…
For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”
Jesus – Gospel of Luke 21:9-22, signs of the end
