American Providentialism  - The hand of God in American history.

By His hand the United States was established and only by His hand She will survive.

________________________________________________________

State of the Union

     When a people lose their history, they lose a part of who they are. Through revisionist history, the citizens of the United States have become a people without a past. The country has lost its soul, because its citizens they have forgotten [not taught & lied to about] their true history, and thus, have lost their reason for existence. As a country, we have forgotten the God who created us. We have forgotten that divine hand that safely carried the country though two of Her three Perils or three “Great Struggles for survival.

     George Washington would be pained to know that his words of advice to the country, after the “First Peril” or Revolutionary War, forewarning  for the survival of our a nation, would be ignored and lost on later generations of uneducated, morally relativistic, apathetic misinformed citizens. “I am sure there never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a Divine interposition [hand of God] in their affairs, than those of the United States; and I should be pained to believe that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often manifested during our revolution, or that they [American people] failed to consider the omnipotence of that God who is alone able to protect them.” Because, “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.”

     Abraham Lincoln in the heat of the Second Peril” or Civil War, framed the country’s problem best, We have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God who made us!”

     Many Americans today are ignorant of their own history, and ignorant of the Founding Fathers wise words of wisdom to the country. Some want to remove God from government, society, and the minds of Her people, especially children. It won’t be done, and it can’t be done, because it is basis, and reason of our existence as a country. God was “The Original Intent” behind the country's formation and it is only by His hand the country still exists today. As Patrick Henry stated, “There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations.” As a nation, we have not only forgotten God, but we have transgressed against the Law [divine] and the Word. No nation in recorded history, ever, violates divine law with impunity. And so, as with the Revolutionary War and Civil War, where faith and trust in God pulled Americans through, shortly, once again our survival as a nation will come down our faith, our prayers and “In God We Trust.” But in order for us to understand our future, we must first understand the true history of our past, because in the divine order of things, both are inexorably linked. Reclaim your heritage; pass this on to a friend or family member.

“Your nation [United States] must come to terms with the truth [violation of divine law and true history] if it hopes to prosper and survive. I am protecting those who choose righteousness. ... I appear tearful tonight, it is because of the paradoxical nature of your country's choices. Your nation cannot, on the one hand, be consecrated to My Immaculate Conception, and on the other hand, legislate against life in the womb. Such duplicity is not a strength but a weakness, and does not bode well for the future. … God does not permit Me to protect the entire nation which has chosen compromise over sound moral principles.”

The First Peril

The Republic of the United States of America, 
Her creation and first 
"Great Struggle" for survival.



The Revolutionary War



_________________________________________________________

George Washington - "Son of the Republic, look and learn."
     
     George Washington was an ordinary man who had been raised up by Providence and prepared by Providence to be the protector and defender of his country. He was a deeply humble man who knew God. He would give in service to God and country almost his entire adult life. His self-sacrifice and strong moral Christian character are traits that we respect and admire even down to present day. Washington had a complete trust in God and God’s divine plan for himself and for his country. For his trust in God and petitions in prayer “he was shown great favor by God. As Daniel of old was shown the destiny of the planet Earth, so was Washington shown the destiny of our country.” To help him in fulfillment of God’s plan for America, Washington was given special divine graces. While Washington faced many challenges in life, they would help shape and groom him for the challenges that lay ahead. He had a destiny to fulfill and, for whatever God’s reason, he had decided that this one is mine. Washington had his flaws and was not the most adept for the task for which he was chosen, but he had the wisdom and the will to meet God’s needs. …
     He would remain “bulletproof” through the French Indian War, multiple assassination attempts and throughout all of the battles of the Revolutionary War. 
Washington had a destiny to fulfill, which was to help bring a new Republic, “under God,” into existence. It was all part of God’s divine plan to create a Republic for his children (its citizens) to learn to honor in prayer and in action their God, “his land and the Union.” And divine plans are never deterred by the hand of man. Washington, through sheer strength of character, was able to shepherd the country through its military struggles with Britain. His personal moral character was so well respected that his presence and guidance in presiding over the Constitutional Convention [Miracle at Philadelphia] and serving the country as her first president provided the needed stability at a volatile time in American history; especially when many were concerned about kingship. It was fortunate for the United States and the world that God rose up and protected such a man. For if Washington had not remained “bulletproof” under God’s protection and guidance, the history of the world today would be very different indeed. It is almost unfathomable to consider, but there really was no one else in the colonies at the time, other than George Washington, who could have shepherded the fragile young Republic into existence as he did. Download Chapter - PDF

Excerpt: The Indian Prophecy - “I am a Chief and ruler of many tribes. My influence extends to the waters of the Great Lakes, and to the far Blue Mountains. I have traveled a long and weary path that I might see the young warrior of the great battle. It was on the day when the white man’s blood mixed with the streams of our forest that I first beheld this chief [Washington].” Download - PDF

Excerpt: Boston - “The reflection on my situation, and that of this army, produce an unhappy hour when all around me are wrapped in sleep. Few people know the predicament we are in, on a thousand accounts; fewer still will believe, if any disaster happens to these lines, from what cause if flows. I have often thought how much happier I should have been, if, instead of accepting the command under such circumstances, I had taken my musket on my shoulder and enter the ranks, or, if I had justified the measure to posterity and my own conscience, have retired to the back country and lived in a wigwam. ...If I shall be able to raise superior to these and many other difficulties which might be enumerated, I shall most religiously believe that the finger of Providence is in it, to blind the eyes of our enemies; for surely if we get well through this month, it must be for want of their knowing our disadvantages we labor under.”  Download - PDF

Excerpt: Son of the Republic - “I do not know whether it was owing to the anxiety of my mind, or what, but this afternoon , as I was sitting at this table engaged in preparing a dispatch, something in the apartment seemed to disturb me. Looking up, I beheld standing opposite me a singularly beautiful female. So astonished was I—for I had given strict orders not to be disturbed—that it was some moments before I found language to inquire the cause of her presence. A second, third and even a fourth time did I repeat the question, but received no other answer from my mysterious visitor than a slight raising of her eyes. By this time I felt strange sensations spreading through me. I would have risen but the riveted gaze of the being before me rendered volition impossible. I essayed once more to address her, but my tongue had become powerless. Even thought itself presently became paralyzed.” Download - PDF

Thomas Paine and his Prophetic Dream

     Thomas Paine was a man of words, whose writings sparked passions for freedom on both sides of the Atlantic. He had recently emigrated to America, under encouragement from Benjamin Franklin, when he had a dream of the forth coming Revolutionary War. His vivid dream of war made a very strong impression on him. It was published in the Pennsylvania Magazine in June of 1775, under the title “The Dream Interpreted.” Thomas Paine’s dream would have a tremendous influence on his writings and the destiny of a nation. Through his dream, he saw the struggle with England and America’s greatness after the war, which he so eloquently put into words. How coincidental for Thomas Paine to run into a stranger on an infrequently traveled trail in the woods, who could so profoundly interpret his prophetic dream which would become his fate and life’s work ....
     Perhaps it is because he was born in England, not America, or his later criticism of George Washington. Whatever the reason, the United States was blessed to have Thomas Paine and his writings at such a critical time in American history. It is not a stretch to say, that if there were no Thomas Paine, there may not have been a United States of America

The Crack in the Liberty Bell - a prophetic marker in time!

     Only by the divine hand of Providence or extreme coincidence could an ordinary bell made to honor the Quaker religious beliefs in God go on to become a worldwide symbol of Liberty and Freedom. While the Liberty Bell remains a symbol of the Liberties and Freedoms we cherish as a nation, few understand its history, religious background, or profound implications for the destiny of the country and perhaps the world. From the biblical inscription on its side, to its evacuation by wagon, breakdown and transfer in the center of Bethlehem and secure storage in Zion during the war, to its crack at high noon in celebration of George Washington’s birthday, it would appear that God had a plan for the bell and the country. And those gifts of Liberty and Freedom, gifts from God that rang out on July 8th of 1776 with the Declaration of Independence and the “Miracle at Philadelphia” from the Liberty Bell still reverberate to our present day. However, if we as a nation do not come to terms with God’s hand in our country’s history, then we stumble blindly into the future potentially to our peril.  - Download Chapter - PDF

General Joshua Chamberlain's 20th Maine at Gettysburg

     Joshua L. Chamberlain’s life was of the substance from which legends are made; a number of books and movies are a credit to his achievements. His life’s story was that of a man with immense optimism and determination, surrendering to what he felt was a divine calling to join the Civil War. He answered Lincoln’s call for troops and left his wife, children and teaching position at Bowdoin College to join the war effort. He is best known for the Civil War battle of Little Round Top. The Maine 20th was led to the battle by the Ghost of George Washington on horseback. Through an odd set of coincidences, the Maine 20th rushed in to secure Little Round Top, a strategic point left unattended by the Union Forces. As the battle of Gettysburg raged and as the Civil War’s outcome hung in the balance, the Maine 20th held their position. Outnumbered, with many dead and out of ammunition, Chamberlain ordered a last ditch bayonet charge against the Confederate troops, securing a win for the Union Forces. Close to death on a number of occasions, he regained his health, only to rejoin the military action for many more important battles during the Civil War.  - Download Chapter - PDF

The Battle Hymn of the Republic - The Song that saved the Union

     When Julia Ward Howe first awoke, early morning of November 21, 1861, the words to The Battle Hymn of the Republic arranged themselves in her mind. In a darkened room, trying not to wake her children, she scratched down the verses to the poem, knowing something of importance had just happened. The words she scrawled on an old sheet of paper, Lincoln would later say was “the song that saved the Union.”1 Divinely inspired, The Battle Hymn of the Republic was a masterpiece of poetry on God and country, which could not have come at a better time for the Union. The Civil War was not going well for the North, many battles had been lost, morale had slumped and recruitment numbers were running low. The poem soon became a motivating song sung by the Union troops in glory to God. One other song sung by the North, and less controversial to the South was The Battle Cry of Freedom. Those on the Confederate side sang, God Save the South and The Bonnie Blue Flag song. The South hated the North’s battle hymn song, because it inferred that God was on the side of the North. ...
     Through out the years, there has been much heated debate over words in The Battle Hymn of the Republic. The words in the song have elicited strong feelings in many camps. The song is considered offensive to many Southerners, it is offensive to some Christians, but it is especially offensive and many secular non-religious and anti-religious groups. The song has been labeled a fighting song, hate song, pro-war, Calvinist religious song or militaristic Christian and too many more inflammatory names to list. Entirely missed, by those offended by the words in the song was the point of the song and situation the country was in at the time the song first emerged. While history has credited Julia Ward Howe with The Battle Hymn of the Republic, she did not write the poem. Simply, she recorded on paper words that were given to her. …She was an instrument used by God at the time, for His own purpose. Download Chapter - PDF

Your VOTE - "God cannot sustain this free and blessed country."

      In exercising your right to vote, you are, according to Samuel Adams, “executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is [you are] accountable to God and his country.” As a citizen, no matter what your country of origin or religion, you are the posterity of the country’s Christian Founding Fathers and patriots who earned the freedoms you enjoy at the expense of much blood and treasure. They considered Liberty and Freedom to be a gift from God, not from man or government. You the voter bear a far bigger responsibility than you may realize for the gift, of Liberty and Freedom you have inherited. ...
     The establishment of the United States as a country was an anomaly in history, which by all human foresight and calculation should not have happened. The country came into existence only because it had divine assistance. George Washington wrote and spoke endlessly about the hand of Providence [God] in the Revolutionary War and formation of the Republic, as did many of the Founding Fathers.  …
     What you have inherited and now bear responsibility for as a citizen and voter can best be described as God’s experiment in time. An experiment to see if a united people, under God, can self govern themselves as a country and abide by the Word and the Law of the Old and New Testament. You have been entrusted with a sacred trust for the stewardship of this country, you therefore bear some moral responsibility for the actions and decisions of those elected on your behalf. Use your vote wisely and “let not your children ‘have reason to curse you for giving up those rights and prostrating those institutions which your fathers delivered to you.” [Rev. Matthias Burnet, 1803] Because as Thomas Jefferson warned, “if a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
