Famous Media Commentator:Is this a sign of the times when national authority bows to Christ?
Recently, a video of a worship and prayer event held at the Pentagon has rapidly spread online, stirring passionate responses and amazement among believers. In the video, U.S. Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher C. Hergerthes personally leads a public worship and prayer session at the core office building of the Pentagon. He raises his hands and leads officers and civilian officials in exalting the name of Jesus in unison prayer and worship!
In the past few decades, such a scene has rarely occurred in the heart of the highest security institution of the U.S. government—but today, it truly happened.
Brother Zhang Xiaohua: Worship in Space
✝️ The Secretary of Defense personally leads the prayer—this is no ordinary gathering
Secretary Hergerthes is not worshiping in a church or private space, but at the most militarily influential location in the world—the Pentagon. This is not just a prayer meeting, but a spiritual proclamation:
In the place of greatest earthly power, the highest heavenly authority is acknowledged.
In his prayer, he publicly declared Jesus as "the only way, the truth, and the life," and called upon the Lord to guide America's military and political direction. He did not shy away or hide, but boldly exalted Jesus’ name before a room full of dignitaries and officers.
Civilian and military officials worshiping in unity—is this a military revival sparked by God?
In the video, in addition to Hergerthes, several generals, defense officials, and civilian staff worship and pray together. Some raise their hands and sing, some bow their heads in tears, and some openly profess their faith. They are not in church but in the everyday meeting rooms where national security is governed, worshiping God in spirit and in truth!
This scene reveals that even in the darkest seats of world power, God still preserves His people—even in the Pentagon, a group of God-fearing officials stand firm and are unashamed of the gospel.
Faith returning to the center of power—is this the prelude to spiritual awakening?
For a long time, American politics emphasized "separation of church and state," causing many Christian officials to fear openly expressing their faith. But now, Hergerthes is not hiding his faith—instead, he worships publicly in a place of national authority and invites others to join him in exalting Jesus Christ!
This may be a new season that God is opening:
In times of global turmoil, moral confusion, and looming wars, the Lord is calling His people back under His name. When the Secretary of Defense kneels in prayer at the seat of power, it is a spiritual breakthrough; when officials collectively look to the cross, it signals a shift in the nation.
If you want to live in America, you must understand the foundation of its culture
"If you want to live in America long-term, you must understand that the current government upholds Christian values."
This is not a political statement but a spiritual realization: Although the U.S. has its constitution and institutions, its cultural foundation and national identity have been intertwined with biblical truth since its founding.
Today, when American leaders are willing to acknowledge the name of Jesus publicly in the Pentagon, it shows that—there are still people in power willing to let God reign. Of course, the government may shift direction in four years; but ultimate authority over this world is not in the hands of presidents, congresses, or defense ministers, but in the hands of the Creator of all, who reigns forever!
This reminds us: Never place your hope in any political party or system— true rule over nations belongs to the Lord!
In closing: Pray for America, and also for your own nation
Dear brothers and sisters, when we witness such a scene, do you sense that the Lord is doing a new thing? For Christ’s name to be exalted in the halls of power is no coincidence—this is the hand of God moving and calling.
Today’s America is still filled with challenges, division, and crisis. But if God wills to revive it, He will first rebuild its spiritual foundation through those in authority. Let us pray for America, and also for our nations—that more leaders would fear God, and that the name of the Lord would be exalted in every country!
"Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." — Philippians 2:10-11
