Would the Almighty God weave thousands of end-time predictions into Scripture only to omit any reference to America, a nation that has become the lighthouse to the world by proclaiming the Gospel of Christ? After many years of research, I have discovered that some of the greatest truths in Scripture are often hidden within the text. To discover these truths, we must compare verse with verse and word with word, and study the many patterns and cycles locked within the Bible. This type of research is new to many people, but as you are about to discover, once you clearly see the cycles and patterns, your eyes will be opened to experience a fresh level of knowledge and revelation. In this book, you will see the remarkable connections between America and ancient Israel. The parallels begin with the discovery of this new land by the Vikings, and later by Christopher Columbus. They continue with Hebraic patterns relating to the founding of America and the American Revolution. The imprint of God's design will even be seen in the symbolism on the federal buildings in Washington, D.C. We will take a journey into the prophetic destiny of several American presidents, including the 43rd president, George W. Bush. We will explore the nagging questions relating to the "zero cycle" and the strange deaths of America's presidents, and look at the unusual prophetic implications of election 2000. I will share with you how the great division between traditional Christianity and the Jewish people is being healed. You will learn why America may be on a collision course with its final destiny, prior to Christ's return. The greatest Gentile nation on earth has an assignment to complete and we may be on the road to fulfilling this end-time mission over the next several years. The spiritual link between America and Israel will be revealed in the pages of this book. Understanding this link will help you realize that current events may yield significant insight into God's blueprint for America in these last days. vii Chapter 1 1 THE EAGLE IN BIBLE PROPHECY Is America in Bible Prophecy? Since America became a nation, Bible scholars and students have wondered if America is mentioned in Bible prophecy. Surely the most powerful Gentile nation on earth, a nation that has financed the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, would be mentioned prophetically in Scripture. America's history has been one of faith and freedom. Just as the Hebrews crossed the Red Sea to enter the Promised Land where they would be free to worship Jehovah, the Pilgrims crossed the Atlantic to find a land of religious freedom. They believed that they were fulfilling a Divine assignment. Their faith in the God of the Bible was evidenced in the Mayflower Compact signed on November 11, 1620, which read in part: "In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith. etc. Having undertaken 1 Plucking the Eagle's Wings for the glory of God, and the advancement of the Christian faith, and the honor of our king and country, a voyage to plant the first colony..." Some 150 years later, the concept of inalienable rights and liberties becomes fundamental to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights. The word inalienable means unchangeable, immutable, undeniable and absolute. The authors of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution believed that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were granted to all of mankind by the Almighty. These cherished American rights came from God first, and were proclaimed, not established by, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. No government can lawfully take away these absolute, undisputed rights that were first granted by God. The fact that God and the Bible are pertinent to the way people live is fundamental to the theory of government expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. God sanctions government in both the Old and the New Testaments. Harry Truman expressed his belief that America's founding documents were based upon the Torah, the book of Isaiah, and the four Gospels. The role of civil government is explained and sanctioned by God in the New Testament. It states: "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. (Note: Jesus told Pilot that his authority as Caesar was from His Father in heaven.) Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then be afraid of the power? Do that which is good and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid: for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute (note: taxes) to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law." (Romans 13: 1-4; 7-8) 2 The Eagle in Bible Prophecy The Founders understood the Divine source of our liberties and the role of civil government as protector, not author, of those freedoms. Our Founding Fathers understood this to be the most appropriate and desirable way to pursue happiness! It is not the purpose of this book to define the personal faith of our Founding Fathers. However, I take exception to the attempt of revisionists to write God out of American history, thus causing an erroneous interpretation of the Founders' intent. The impact of deism on the Founders has been distorted. Deists did not believe in organized religion, the divinity of Christ, or the relevancy of the Bible. However, even they asserted that nature itself demonstrates the existence of God (Source: Webster's Encyclopedia, 1941). Thomas Jefferson, the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, believed in the existence of a Supreme Being who was the creator and sustainer of the universe. Jefferson supposedly rejected Christ's divinity. Interestingly, he wrote to William Short on October 31, 1819, that he was convinced that the fragmentary teaching of Jesus constituted the "outlines of a system of the most sublime morality which has ever fallen from the lips of man." Said to be a Unitarian, Jefferson wrote to Ezra Stiles on June 25, 1819, "I am of a sect by myself, as far as I know" (Source: Monticello Research Department, Rebecca Bowman, August 1997). Although there is evidence that some of the Founders rejected organized religion and the relevancy of the Bible, they were not the majority. I encourage you to also read the original documents of the Founders to collect all of the facts. Don't be deprived of knowing America's complete heritage by believing only the revisionists' reports. To interest you in the facts we never see in public school history books, let's read the actual words of some of our Founders concerning Christ.

  • “Lincoln Bibles”?
    How Many “Lincoln Bibles”? GORDON LEIDNER In a 1940 edition of Lincoln Lore, editor and historian Dr. Louis A. War- ren stated that “no book could be more appropriately associated with Abraham Lincoln than the Bible,” and he briefly introduced his read- ers to nine “Historic Lincoln Bibles” that he thought should be linked with the sixteenth president.1 Eleven years later, Robert S. Barton, son of the Lincoln biographer Rev. William E. Barton, published a paper titled “How Many Lincoln Bibles?”2 In it, Barton updated the status of Warren’s nine historic Lincoln Bibles, then added three Bibles he thought should also be associated with the 16th president. This list of a dozen Lincoln Bibles has not been critiqued or updated since that time, 1951. But a few significant discoveries, particularly in the past decade, justify a fresh look at this subject. In this article I update the status of the twelve previously identified historic Lincoln Bibles, discuss which Bibles Lincoln used while presi- dent, and introduce four previously unidentified Bibles that should be added to this list. One of these “new” Bibles may have been used by Lincoln’s mother to teach him how to read when he was a child, and another was probably read by Lincoln when he was president. These sixteen Bibles are shown in the table. The first twelve are presented in the order that Warren and Barton discussed them. In Lincoln Lore, Warren wrote that the Bible was “the single most influential book that Abraham Lincoln read.”3 An extensive study of Lincoln’s use of the Bible is beyond the scope of this article, but suffice it to say that Lincoln utilized the Scriptures extensively to support his ethical and political statements.

  • Theoretical Implications of the Beachy Amish-Mennonites DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Th
    Theoretical Implications of the Beachy Amish-Mennonites DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Cory Alexander Anderson Graduate Program in Rural Sociology The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Joseph Donnermeyer, Advisor Richard Moore Edward Crenshaw Copyrighted by Cory Alexander Anderson 2014 Abstract One of the hallmarks of social science is the interaction of theory and methods/data, the former guiding the latter and the latter refining the former, in a cyclical relationship. The goal of theory is to provide explanations for and even predict a range of human behaviors. One potential cause of theoretical stagnation is an over focus on a singular, usually easily accessible group. Given the persistence of plain Anabaptists like the Amish as a highly distinct subgroup in American society, their utility for refining sociological theories is persuasive, but has rarely been employed to this end because of their social inaccessibility, shyness towards social science research, and the popular interpretive frames placed on them that distract would-be investigators. Even with Amish-focused scholarship, the emphasis has been largely on describing the population or applying theory to understand the Amish case, but not returning findings back to theory in critique and revision. This dissertation introduces and contextualizes the plain Anabaptists, then describes the Beachy Amish-Mennonites, a group within the Amish religious tension, but dealing markedly with tensions between separatism and assimilation. Following this introduction are three independent studies that demonstrate the use of plain Anabaptists to refine theory.

THE BEAST AND THE REVIVAL OF ROME: MUSSOLINI AND ROME IN THE PREMILLENNIAL IMAGINATION JON STAMM 130 Pages Premillennial dispensationalism became immensely influential among American Protestants who saw themselves as defenders of orthodoxy. As theological conflict heated up in the early 20th century, dispensationalism’s unique eschatology became one of the characteristic features of the various strands of “fundamentalists” who fought against modernism and the perceived compromises of mainline Protestantism. Their embrace of the dispensationalist view of history and Biblical prophecy had a significant effect on how they interpreted world events and how they lived out their faith. These fundamentalists established patterns of interpretation that in the second half of the 20th century would fuel the emergence of a politically influential form of Christian Zionism.

Jackson 2018 All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the topic of eschatological violence in the Pentecostal tradition through an intertextual literary analysis of Ezekiel 36:16—39:29 and Revelation 19:11—21 and 20:7—10 by investigating primarily how the intentional literary placement of the ‘Two Sticks’ oracle (Ezek 37:15—28) between the ‘Dry Bones’ vision (Ezek 37:1—14) and the ‘Gog of Magog’ war (Ezek 38:1—39:29) informs the reader’s theological understanding of the message of Ezekiel 36:16—39:29 as a whole. Secondarily, this thesis considers how the allusion to Ezek 38—39 in Rev 19:11—21 and 20:7—10 enhances the reader’s theological understanding of Ezek 36:16—39:29, yielding an intertextual reading that challenges the way these texts have long been understood in popular Pentecostal contexts.

  • Law and Gospel in the Brethren Tradition
    Grace Theological Journal ]2.2 (1991) 215-232 LAW AND GOSPEL IN THE BRETHREN TRADITION RONALD T. CLUTTER INTRODUCTION HE movement known as the Brethren Church began in 1708 in Ger­ T many under the leadership of Alexander Mack (1679-1735), who had been a member of the Reformed Church. Having been influenced strongly by spokesmen for Radical German Pietism and by representa­ tives of the Anabaptist movement, Mack and seven others were bap­ tized by trine immersion in August 1708 and began a new church initially referring to themselves as "Brethren."] Persecution was soon in coming in an era which did not encourage religious tolerance and the growing church relocated, eventually immigrating to America in two groups, one in 1719 and the second, including Mack, in 1729. Emphasizing the Bible as its soul authority and eschewing creedal subscription, the Brethren found themselves on occasion subject to differing interpretations from their church leaders. The focus of this study is upon the concepts of law and gospel as articulated by some prominent persons in the history of the movement. First the views of IThe Brethren movement has been identified by many names. The early Brethren by design had no distinctive name for their fellowship of believers. They simply referred to themselves as Bruder ("brethren") or sometimes as Taufgesinnten ("Baptist-minded"). Others quickly began to call them Tiiufer ("[Ana]Baptists") or Neue Tiiufer ("New [Ana]Baptists") to distinguish them from the Mennonites and Swiss Brethren that they so closely resembled. They were also called Schwarzenau Tiiufer after the place where the movement originated.
