To what did Abraham Lincoln refer when he said A house divided against itself cannot stand?

to ffollow carlos aguirre on twitter @aguirrecarlos54Answer:The wise President was quoting the Bible... applying it to the divisive, destructive state of the union at that time that threatened to tear the United States apart."...'Every kingdom divided against itself WILL BE RUINED, and EVERY CITY or HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF WILL NOT STAND..." (Matt.12:25 NIV).This is a prime example of "ONENESS" -- working TOGETHER for a "worthy" moral purposetoward the common goal of prosperity and success of everyone... as opposed to "every man for himself."Which is a guaranteed road to destruction. [like the road the nations of the world are on today]President Lincoln was merely uttering a "statement of fact" from God's Word, the Bible [the Truth; John 17:17], as a witness and warning to the nation... probably amid his prayers and crying out to God for His Mercy on the blinded, deceived nation. Hoping that He might open the eyes of the nation, that it might turn to Him "as one" in repentance... and for forgiveness. Not "divided and defeated."
