No, I don't see. Can you please point me to the Scripture in which Jesus talks about a covenant with the Founding Fathers of the United States of America? Or perhaps the Scripture in which He explains only he with a U.S. Citizenship should be awarded with Salvation. If you're just making this stuff up, we don't appreciate it. Nothing hurts the Body of Christ more than making stuff up, adding to and detracting from the actual Word of God. In fact, if you do not repent, you'll be sorry (Deuteronomy 4:2; 12:32; Revelation 22:18).
By the way, you can familiarize yourself with some of the plagues that you'll be intimately familiar with (as referenced in Revelation) by reading the
second half of the 28th chapter in Deuteronomy. There's some good stuff there! For example, you should know that you will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit. Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. Jesus will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head. Oh, and you'll have never ending hemorrhoids! Is that what you really want?

You'll be doomed to the fires of Hell because you lack faith, dear. Jesus has already warned you that without faith, your eternal damnation is assured (John 3:18). The faithful don't need to make things up to make them feel strong or powerful or secure or in control.
Who could improve on such commands as not boiling a kid in it's own mother's milk (Exodus 23:19)?
Or the command to throw stones at our children until they die for the crime of teen rebellion (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)?
Or the one about not wearing ripped jeans, regardless of how popular they are, for the Lord thy God will unleash His wrath on all people (Leviticus 10:6)?
Or put to death an entire community for the crime of failing to worship the Lord thy God (Deuteronomy 13:12-15)?
Why on earth would anyone think they can improve on the Divine Expectations of the Lord Jesus Christ? Why not let Him speak for Himself, dear? He doesn't need you to improve on His Word. He'll have the last laugh, sure enough!
Glory!
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psalm 2:4
