Tunc dixit David: "Illicitum est, ut a quocumque portetur arca Dei, nisi a Levitis, quos elegit Dominus ad portandum eam et ad ministrandum sibi usque in aeternum". (1 Chronicles 15:2)
Elijah the Tishbite writes on his website: "There is no place in the Bible which tells of a Kingdom to the West at all: only the Kingdom to the North, the Kingdom to the South, and the Kingdom to the East according to His Word".
I don't agree with that statement.
In his blessings to the twelve tribes of Israel, Moses said to Naphtali: "possess thou the west and the south", see Deuteronomy 33:23.
So there is indeed a Kingdom to the West.
The Israeli tribe Naphtali is identified as Sweden, from where the Viking Rus emigrated eastward, actually from Roslagen, and then founded Russia.
But when I lived in New Mexico in 1989, I found Swedish descendants there, at the Lutheran Church in Santa Fe.
Apparently, many persons from Sweden have moved to the West.
I remember I talked to an old lady in Washington D.C. that same year; she was 92 then, and she had left Sweden when she was 17, and almost forgotten her native language.
I also know that the US state of Delaware has Swedish traditions, and possibly also Minnesota and Wisconsin.
My dear American friends, rest assured God cares for you, and that there is place also for you and for America in the future.
God will call His elect from the four winds.
