"Reagan understood that that was the downfall of our country. When it becomes that I point to another group and say, you're the problem. When I point to another group and I say, you are the problem in our country and you're the reason it's going downhill and take no emphasis or blame on myself, or the discussion of how we collaborate to make it better. It is then when we lose the freedom of our own speech. Remember, if you only like speech and you won't just stop speech of others, then you are at risk of losing that speech yourself and it will not come by people that like you. It will not come from people you can control. Just recently in one of the Ivy League schools, there was a discussion, a panel discussion on freedom of speech and a law school that was interrupted by students who did not think it was appropriate to be discussing freedom of speech. I can not think of anything more ludicrous in my life than a place such as an institution of higher learning that will not allow free speech where you have to have safe zones where you have to have places where people aren't offended. Folks, I won't tell you something right now and I think Reagan understood this and that freedom of speech will offend you. There were people who were offended by Reagan. There were speech that offended Reagan, but that is who we are if we're truly to be free if we're truly to be a nation in which freedom is a priority in which freedom is someplace that we can actually grow and expand we have to understand that we are different and that we have to come together in civility and we have to understand that this freedom that has been nurtured from the soil in which we have been raised here from people who came from all parts of the world to find freedom here in America. Some came as slaves, some came is searching some came as OutKast. Some came as criminals, but at the end of the day, we have now been given a nation in which we all can stand to the freedoms that are articulated in our constitutional we the people. Now some may disagree with that. That is the starting point of conversation. But understand that if you are not in a society in which freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom of enterprise was possible, you wouldn't be having these arguments. And you would be trapped into a system in which the government gives you your ideas, gives you your freedoms, gives you your possibilities instead of it being the other way around Reagan understood that it was we the people. We talked about that earlier in the speech, but he also said if we don't institutionalize these into which they are taught to our kids, the good and the bad of America is taught so that we can get better than we will miss who we are. He believed that America is kept alive and I love how he talked about this. He said, let me offer one last lesson number one about America. All great change in America begins at the dinner table. So tomorrow night in the kitchen, I hope the talking begins. And children, if your parents haven't been teaching you what it means to be an American, let them know and nail them on it. This would be, that would be in a very American thing to do. Reagan understood that it was at the home. That it was at the family level. It was at the personal level that this country had its hopes, had its dreams, had its power. Folks, if we've lost that, who are we? If we've lost the very power to sit around a kitchen table to sit with our neighbors to go to a public forum to be a part and without raising our voices without shouting names without doing the things that have become so corrosive in our society. And demanding that only my point of view be heard, then we're missing what it is in Reagan understood this internally and made it clear that institutionalizing this was what we needed. Now the last part of this speech and I'll turn it to it very quickly here was basically he had said in all his politics and he talked about this, he said, the past few days has been talking about that window upstairs again. He said, I thought a little bit about The Shining city upon a hill. The phrase he said, he talked about who he came from was John winthrop who rode to describe the America he imagined. What do you imagine was important because he was an early pilgrim and an early freedom man. He journeyed here on what today we would call a little wooden boat and lock other pilgrims. He was looking for a home that would be free. I've spoken of The Shining city all my political life. But I don't know I've ever communicated what I saw when I communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind, it was a tall proud city built on rocks, stronger than lotions, windswept, God blessed and taming the people of all kinds living in harmony and peace. A city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had and the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone that will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it and still see it. And he talks about where he sees the city on that one. That win or not. He said more process more secure, happier than it was 8 years ago, but more than that after 200 years, two centuries she still stands strong, true on the granite ridge, her glow has hailed steady, no matter what storm, and she still a Beacon. Still a magnet for those who must have freedom for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurting through the darkness toward home. And then he makes this final site. And he says, my Friends, we did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger, we made the city freer, we left her in good hands, all in all, not bad, not bad at all. He sort of ends with a challenge there for all of us. You don't need a challenge. He said, look, he said, we want just marking time. We wasn't just getting up going day to day in his speech that was built on connection. It was built on the starting point where he regretted the fast pace of not being able to connect with.

"Folks. I'm talking to Oz Guinness. You just said something, you know, again, I am sometimes flabbergasted. The idea that this idea of covenant, we can trace it back to Sinai to exodus, to Moses, and then we see it again, of course, in 1776, that's a long stretch. It's an amazing, it's an amazing thing that we would see this biblical idea resurface in the United States of America, and that is why we are the information. Well, that's the point. In other words, when the Christian faith became the official faith of Rome, in AD three 80. I think the church made a great mistake. It copied Roman structures uncritically. Roman structures hierarchical. You had a Caesar, a consul, senators, and you had a Pope, cardinals and bishops. Hierarchical, and you know, it was a Catholic layman, the great lord Acton, who made the famous remark that all power tends to corrupt. And absolute power corrupts absolutely. And he was commenting in that comment on his own church. He was criticizing it. Because the Catholic judges are and say the corruptions of the inquisition and so on all came out of that structure. The reformation said no. That's not biblical. Not so much, Luther, but Calvin, and then zwingli and bullying a John Knox in Scotland. In England, Oliver Cromwell for better or worse said exodus is the direct parallel to what I'm trying to do. And of course he failed, but you think of the Mayflower compact, is a covenant. John winthrop's speech on the arbella is all about a covenant. When John Adams writes the first written constitution, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, he calls it not a constitution, but a covenant well, we have to remember how close the tracing this, we have to we have to talk about how close the things you just mentioned were to the reformation. Obviously, the diet of worms is 1521. And then we have these various figures that you just mentioned in the 16th century. So by the time you get to the pilgrims and then ten years later, John winthrop, it's really within shooting distance. It came these ideas came out of the reformation, which of course came from a re appreciation of what the scriptures are saying. Which leads to 1776, but I think, and it's part of what you're saying, these ideas have to be remembered. We have to stop and say, wait a minute, we have to go back. We've lost the thread. We didn't think we needed to worry too much about keeping the thread because we thought everyone knows this, but eventually everyone doesn't know it, and it's why we are where we are today..

"Yeah, now this is great. This is why we celebrate turkey day. And thank you for that, Eric. Exactly. So I think that I'm just going to such a wise guy. Just for that, I'm having ham. I'm having him. But I want to say that in our one today, I'm telling the squanto stories. Now, if you want to read that, if you have a copy of my book, I wrote a children's book on squanto. Actually, I wrote two children's books on squanto. The first one I wrote for rabbit ears. I wrote a lot of children's books for rabbit ears. But they kind of took the God part out of my telling of the story when I wrote it for rabbit ears. So it's an otherwise wonderful book. They made a beautiful video, but they kind of took the God part out a little bit. And I said, someday, I'm going to write a book where I put that back in because it's at the heart of the whole story. So I put it in a book called squanto in the miracle of Thanksgiving, published by Thomas Nelson, Tommy Nelson. But I also write about it in my book if you can keep it. Some of you already have a copy of if you can keep it. And I tell the story, it's an amazing story in the next segment or in one of these segments. I'm having a conversation with Chris Hines about what is the squanto story because it is a miracle from our history, an astonishing miracle from our history. And I remember when I was doing the research on this, I mean, this was literally, let's see. I did the original research on this. It must have been like 1991. And somebody said, oh, you're talking about the story about squanders for rabbit ears. And I remember maybe I repeat this when I talked to Chris about this because we recorded the conversation that I'm having with Chris heims, we did a few years ago. But I'll never forget doing the research and thinking, well, I'm going to go to the original documents. So there's an old pilgrim document called mort's relation, there is something by what William Bradford wrote. So I'm looking at these original documents and piecing together the story of squanto. And I remember when the lightbulb goes off, and I said, this is a miracle. Yeah. And the other children's books and stuff didn't really mention that. They act like it's some coincidence. Yeah. And when you understand what happened, you go, this is a flat out insane, miracle of God. There's no way around it. And it's at the very heart of the beginning of what became the United States of America. And what I was so astonished by, is this happened to me a number of times over the years in the research and my books when you get this moment. And you think, how is it possible that no one else has seen what an astonishing miracle this is. And when you call it a coincidence, or you just kind of relate it like, well, these things happen. It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. This doesn't make human sense. This is crazy. And this allowed the pilgrims to survive and to stay there because of this miracle of squanto, and then by the way, folks, because the pilgrims stayed and didn't go home, suddenly you have others coming, and then you get the Massachusetts bay colony, and you get John winthrop talking about a shining city on a hill. And you get all of this stuff follows this miracle. So if you don't believe in miracles, I challenge you to familiarize yourself, and if you want things to this and this is our two, Scott Powell comes up next and he's talking about why Thanksgiving. So why are we even separated? That's right. So today we have I talked to Chris heims. I tell the squanto story and then we've got some other crazy stuff there in our two.

Bill Federer Digs Into the History and Biblical Roots of Thanksgiving
"Continuing what you were saying and tell us about squanto. Yeah, so the pilgrims switched from company to covenant. The company bylaws that says, okay, here's this system. We're going to take it away from you, and we're going to distribute it to, look, you get your own plot of land. You become prosperous and then you follow on carefully take care of your neighbor because you're doing it as unto God. And so you have the pilgrim pastor was John Robinson. He says, we are knit together as a body in covenant of the lord. We so hold ourselves tied to all to care for each other's good. Margaret Thatcher, she writes, your founding fathers look after one another, not only as a matter of necessity, but as a matter of duty to their God. And then the founder of the puritan Massachusetts John winthrop gives his famous speech in 1630. This love among Christians is a real thing, not imaginary. As absolutely necessary to the being of the body of Christ, we are accompanied professing ourselves fellow members of Christ. We ought to account ourselves nit together by this bond of love. We must make one another's condition our own. Rejoice together, mourn together labor and suffer together. We shall find that the God of Israel is among us. You know, people say, well, wasn't the early church socialists. You know, the early church was the early church, socialism is counterfeit early church, and the differences between the word voluntary and involuntary. Right? So you're blessed with goods, and then you voluntarily take care of your neighbor because you're doing is unto God. Socialism, there is no God. You get the good from the state and you don't own anything. So if you don't own anything, how could you be charitable? How can you give away what you don't have? No, God, and trust you with stuff and it gives you opportunities to give them away.

Rabbi Jonathan Cahn Is in Studio to Detail Some Amazing Revelations
"Back talking to Jonathan Khan, the movie is the harbingers of things to come. You can see it sell them now, dot com. So Jonathan, you were just revealing what you talk about in the film, you call it the mystery of the island and you were referring to the great John winthrop. The governor of the Massachusetts bay colony, how he would have this kind of retreat on governor's island, which is in Massachusetts, which is in Boston bay. He would face Boston and pray for Boston. Okay, now the punchline. In doing so, he's praying for the whole civilization that became America. That's right. That's right. And so but he also the one for those who didn't hear who warned America do not turn for God if you follow God, you're going to be the most blessed nation people. If you turn away, then judgments come. So what happened to John winthrop? What happened to the island of winthrop John with him? The island of John winthrop was subsumed in the 20th century became an airport. The airport is Logan airport, the very place where the planes took off on 9 11 and headed to New York City on the island of the man who warned America. It all started there. This is getting really eerie now. No, it is amazing. These things are absolutely amazing. And it's amazing to me that God has chosen you to reveal these things because you're not making them up. You're just discovering what already exists. It's there. Eric, it's interesting because this is the only interview pretty much. That's in Lower Manhattan where all these things, this all centers here. I mean, the harbingers are here. We're here. I was standing at the ground of ground zero, and that's where it all started. Something said, the spirit said, look, I was looking at this tree that I said, there's something you have to find. You have to seek it, and that's how it all began. I could never reproduce any of it. Even the process, I don't know how to have it. What

"Good news. We're talking to Michelle bachmann. She is somebody who understands what America is and that there are people trying to destroy our country from within. It sounds crazy except unfortunately, it's not crazy. Even the last election, Michelle, I just have to ask you, have you seen 2000 meals? Because I personally, I was troubled by the election the day after. I said, wait a minute, wait a minute. This is very confusing. What's going on? I was further troubled when everyone in power said, hey, shut up. You can't talk about that. I thought, what? What do you mean I can't talk about it? This would be the most horrible thing that could ever happen. I think I need to talk about it. We are living in unprecedented times. I think we have to be clear that I don't know, apart from my faith in the God of scripture, I would be despairing at this point, but we have faith in the God of the scripture. That's right. That's right. And Eric, yes, I saw 2000 mules, and actually you were invited and you participated in regent universities election integrity conference. I saw exactly what you did after the 2020 election. We were the only university in America that I know of that actually did a conference on the 2020 election and on election integrity.

"Banner. Thank you. Those who flow of angel hair I welcome back folks. We're talking about some really heavy stuff. So I have to joke around sometimes, but it is heavy stuff. The film is called the harbingers of things to come. It's one night only, in theaters, May 12 only. Let's get to this final thing. There's an island in Massachusetts bay. Yes. Talk about this. Yeah, in the movie, I'm kind of going around like kind of on a journey around America. And Washington, New York. And I'm on a boat. I'm on a boat. Heading to an island in Massachusetts bay. And we're there because of a mystery. One of the, you know, the founders of America. I mean, before the nation state. American civil was John winthrop. He's called the grandfather of governor John with her above the Massachusetts bay colony whose most famous quote is he's quoting Jesus. We want to be a shining city on a hill. Yes. And so that became the thing that you heard Reagan say it actually Kennedy's Kennedy Center. Yeah. And so he said that and the thing is that he also, but people don't go to what he also said, because right after he said that, he gives a warning. He says, but if we turn away from our God, if America turns away from God, then he says, on paraphrasing, the judgment that came on Israel will come upon America. And the thing is, when you look at the harbinger, that's exactly what's happening. When you look at the pattern, it's saying the exact thing. So he says that. He says that in action, I'll throw this too. He's actually quoting from deuteronomy. He's quoting from Moses what he gives the blessing and the curse as they're about to enter the land. Well, he was giving it as they're about to enter America. He's being like Moses. And he's quoting from that. And one of the things that it says when it talks about judgment, interesting. This is I'm going to do more. But what happened is that there's a scripture that says, what happens when judgment comes? And it says, and when 9 11 came all across all across New York, in leading up to 9 11 on the Sabbath, they open up the scrolls. They have an appointed word, pointed from ages past. It was deuteronomy it was the thing that John winthrop was using the warning, and it says it says an enemy shall come from a faraway land, shall come like an eagle, swooping down on the land, literally says swooping down. And things that happen at 9 11 are actually there. And this was proclaimed all around New York just before it happened. Then and the first plane that struck had a symbol of an eagle swooping down as in deuteronomy. John winthrop is alluding to that now. When John winthrop said city on a hill, it was talking about America. But I mean, he's referring it to America. But there actually was a city on the hill. And it was a place that he became the governor. He became and it was and actually the city he founded was Boston. He founded Boston. It was supposed to be the city on a hill. Yeah. And what happened was, so he had an island. John wither had an island. It was called, they called it governors island because of him. He used to pray there. He prayed for America. He prayed, he prayed looking across at the Boston, the city on the hill. And now the thing is this Eric, when what happened to this, what happened to the island of John Wick? The man who gave the warning and the promise. What happened was it was subsumed into an airport. It became Logan airport the beginning of 9 11. All the planes took off that planes took off from John winthrop's island. The very man who gave the warning of what would happen. I wanted to end on an up note. I have failed. Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize. No, seriously, this is such vital information. It's so beautiful and it's an apologetic that God is real. He sovereign. And I do believe because the scripture says that if God's people who are called by the name will humble themselves and pray. Yes, we can come out of death spiral, but it's utterly up to the people of God. Yes. We have to be stronger than ever. That is one of the reasons one of the reasons why the movie is coming out now because I feel this is the time. We have to come. And we have to be stronger than ever. This is the time. I'm with you. I'm with you. And just a joy rabbi Jonathan Khan to have you. Congratulations. The film, the harbingers of things to come in theaters..

"Now, gosh, I want to go in every direction with you. You mentioned something, there are 9 harbingers and after they came out, something happens specifically to one of those 9 harbingers that you mentioned in the original book, the harbinger. Yeah, well, yeah, one of them, one of them was one of them was that that tree, the tree that withered away and was destroyed. And by the way, by the way, Obama came down again to 9 11. And he said a scripture and he's standing on the other side of the tree. The tree is withering away. And he says, a scripture says that God's going to break the bow like weapons. He's going to give peace and blessing to the nation. He's going to break the bow, but he changes it. He says, he breaks the bow. Now the bow was the branch. That's a sign of biblical judgment. He changed the scripture that White House changed the scripture too when they printed it up. And the breaking of the bow, that's what was happening to that tree. They were breaking all the branches symbolizing America. And then it was struck down. When the bow breaks. The cradle will fall. Yeah, let me tell you one that we were talking before, mentioned John winthrop. One of the places and down comes Obama now we don't want to get political. I always have to joke around because it's just amazing to me that presidents are speaking things from scripture. Yes. Thinking that, oh, somebody just found a nice quote for me to read that would be appropriate. That's right. And then he misspeaks it in just the right slash exact wrong way. It changes it from pronouncing national blessing to national judgment. And The White House followed by actually changing the writing of the scripture to turn it into national judgment. He's saying that speaking of the breaking of the branch. Check out your bibles. It's all there. And right across from him is the branches all broken of the tree that represents America. What the Obama administration didn't realize is Jonathan Khan is paying attention to all this stuff. And he's going to write a book about it. And it's going to be a little bit embarrassing because this is heavy stuff. This is very heavy stuff. All right, before we go, we've just got 5 minutes left. I want to ask you about the island in Massachusetts. Yes. I love this kind of stuff. So we're going to be right back, but we're talking to Jonathan Khan and the movie comes out may 12th.

If we've lost the very power to sit around a kitchen table to sit with our neighbors to go to a public forum to be a part and without raising our voices without shouting names without doing the things that have become so corrosive in our society. And demanding that only my point of view be heard, then we're missing what it is and Reagan understood this internally and made it clear that institutionalizing this was what we needed. Now the last part of this speech and I'll turn it to it very quickly here was basically he had said in all his politics and he talked about this, he said, the past few days is even talking about that window upstairs again. He said, I thought a little bit about The Shining city upon a hill. The phrase he said, he talked about who he came from was John winthrop who wrote it to describe the America he imagined. What do you imagine was important because he was an early pilgrim and an early freedom man. He journeyed here on what today we would call a little wooden boat and lock other pilgrims. He was looking for a home that would be free. I've spoken of The Shining city all my political life. But I don't know I've ever communicated what I saw when I communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind, it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than lotions, windswept, God blessed and taming the people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had and the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone that will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it and still see it. And he talks about where he sees the city on that one. That win or not. He said, more process more secure, happier than it was 8 years ago, but more than that after 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong, true on the granite ridge, her glow has hailed steady, no matter what storm, and she still a Beacon. Still a magnet for those who must have freedom for all the pilgrims from all the palace places who are hurting through the darkness toward home. And then he makes this final site. And he says, my Friends, we did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger. We made the city for you. We left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all. He sort of ends with a challenge there for all of us. You don't need a challenge. He said, look, he said, we want to just marking time. We wouldn't just getting up going day to day and his speech that was built on connection. It was built on the starting point where he regretted the fast pace of not being able to connect with people. And he ends with this statement that we weren't just marking time..

And if the wampanoags had decided to wipe them out, they easily could have, but NASA saw it, the native leader, his people had been ravaged by disease, the rival narragansetts had not been touched. He was fearful of they were going to be taken over by the narragansetts unless an alliance with this pitiful group of English men might give him the parody he needed. And so this was born the alliance that would save Plymouth colony and set the set the stage for what would transpire for the next couple of hundred years. Yeah, because that I thought was one of the most interesting things about mayflowers that you go through and you're like, hey, look, what happened? Horrible. You wiped out. You basically erased people from their country, but then you're like, wait, part of the alliance was in fear of the other warring tribes being like, yeah, but they're trying to do the same thing to us. And so you were like, oh, wait. It could times there's this image of this harmonious world. And you were like, no, it was a warring world as well. It's just you brought in new people with disease and clearly a dehumanizing approach to the native people. It was something that they weren't dealing with as far as their own culture. Last thought, because this is the last thought because I loved it. So they're at Plymouth, it's the worst. They've been there a while. I forget how many years if it was a couple years or less than two years, some guys decided to start walking north. And they reach Boston. Yeah. And they go. Oh, this is way better.

And the way you describe almost a general disappointment where they come back to the setup and they're like, hey, there's a spot that's not that far from here that's like a hundred times better than where we're starting this nation. Do you guys want to go there instead? And there was a division that. And other people were like, you know what? It's way better up there. And that's why Plymouth isn't Boston. Is that fair?

We grabbed them and we run into america. They helped us build america. Isn't it great. You know that's the kind of story we get but when you look in history you see that i don't know there were huge kingdoms in america thousands of years and then you're kinda came about started taking over so you see this inversion happened where Who were once egyptian rulers. The divine right to rule. Now it's the european divine right to rule this is the kind of alchemy inversion process that weather in europe and then they tried to apply here in america with the indigenous people. Right now we're bringing up. Alchemy a lot and i know a lot of mine norma listeners. As soon as you say alchemy all they think about is transmuting lesser metals into gold when in reality there's many branches of alchemy and i. I've heard you've been doing a little digging. Dow me do you wanna may be explained to the people what the other forms of alchemy are. How can be more than just a chemical process of turning metals into gold. Yeah i mean that's that's the thing it's like so people tend to think of it as like a. You know magical. Harry potter wizards were in society. Were doing this stuff is like new is active jo-hun kepler like all these people. That were making scientific breakthroughs. They were practicing. Alchemy to in the first governor at the connecticut. Colony wasn't alchemist. His name is john winthrop junior john winthrop the younger. And you know they did. A lot of alc- chemical things like creating ironworks these furnaces that would take or The iron melt certain minerals. Which at that time. That seemed like magic. You know you go out into a mountain you find the right type of rock bring to a furnace on fire and then you have iron which you can then make a knife or a sword or whatever you want with me. That's magic in those terms you know. In those times so we have to understand the context through which alchemy used to be understood. You actually can change things. One thing to another is just. We call that material science. Now we don't call it out to me right so the same people that were doing. These types of chemistry material science experiments were also obviously very interested in turning anything. Make good into gold because gold is the most valuable substance. Yes there is information online where people say like yeah you can like make mono atomic golden mike there are ways to to use like the electro magnetic physics of the earth. Not you know the materialism physics that we get from school. We're talking about ether. Physics electro universe that in that paradigm. Maybe that exists. I dunno not the expert to talk to here on that but you know in a broader sense alchemy just magic like every from exorcism to tarot card reading too could have falled under the the realm of out to me the word alchemy al ten out kennett all kemmet being the old word for egypt so these are just the you know magical arts of of the old world while of those things is changing the landscape.

And you know what time it is. This is one of my favorite times of the day It is on this daytime. Today is September 6th. And on this day September 6 14 92 explorer Christopher Columbus sets out for the new world. From his supply base in the Canary Islands. At the time, the Canaries were ruled by the kingdom of Castile, which is now part of Spain. European explorers continued to use the Canaries, by the way, as kind of a jumping off spot if you will. And on this day September 6 15 22, another Explorer to talk about the Magellan expedition arrives back in Spain, completing the first circumnavigation of the world. Three years earlier, Ferdinand Magellan, who had been appointed admiral of the Spanish fleet by King Charles, the first of Spain, set off with his armada. It was five ships. Hundreds of men all bound for the Spice Islands or what is now Indonesia. The Victoria was the only ship to return after. I mean, obviously, these are explorers and they're discovering the new world basically brutal conditions. I mean, these men went through starvation, scurvy. And the murder of Magellan himself, which killed off much of the passengers. It really wasn't a murder was like a killing because there was a whole deal. But Magellan was killed by a poison arrow after helping achieve on an island in the Philippines fight a rival tribe so he gets pyung with the poison arrow, and he's done. So the exhibition is considered one of the most important events in history, thanks to the science and the socio socioeconomic and political and philosophic and theological information that is gleaned And it brought back to the old world. On this day, September 6 16 28 the first Puritans arrived around Salem, Massachusetts. These were the people who wanted to stay within the Church of England but purify it. Unlike the pilgrims, Unfortunately for the Puritans, King Charles, the first was not keen on purifying the Catholic Church ends of the Church of England, rather and they along with the pilgrims, who stood an outright opposition to the church. Decided to set sail for the new world here in America. Two years later, another group arrived on several different ships. They were led by John Winthrop, who wanted to build a city upon a hill and he did. Today. It's known as Boston. And on this day in 16 51 the future King Charles, the second of England hides all day in an oak tree escaping after his loss against the round heads. Those were the supporters of Oliver Cromwell, who fought against the king and the English several war and on this day in 16 66. Finally, the great fire of London is extinguished. It started just a few days before. I think this was on like The second, I think was Friday. I was telling you about this when it started, But in the end, it destroyed 80% of London, including 13,200 houses 87 churches, including ST Paul's Cathedral. And it displaced more than 70,000 people in the city of 80,000. As I mentioned on Friday, it started at a bakery on Pudding Lane.

Your books harbinger paradigm harbinger to and so on and so forth you talk about parallels anything just since we've been talking about stuff anything you wanna talk about that relates to let me let me throw one thing in 'cause we touched on something and one thing i i'm blessed about you eric is you. Don't you don't care you don't compromise. Which many do you know many ways. We touched on certain issues. You tell them about alvin. Was it you talking about alvin the compromiser. He's a work in progress. Pray for alvin. Okay now we have to joke. I know what you're saying. And i appreciate you putting it that way with that with that we spoke about a the subject of eligibility on there is a there was a day on the hebrew calendar. That was a day when the day when the babylonians broke through the defensive walls of jerusalem and once they did is in the bible's germany once they did it was finished and he's just five eighty seven bc Or five eighty six depending on which which yes okay. So that's roughly what we're talking about. Yes and so in that time. They broke through the defensive walls and it and it wasn't the and yet it was but it meant that once they did it was basically over the the king fled at that day which king That what would have jaw joachim. Most likely at yeah and others there were bad kings at that time but they've fled bowie. This is not the north kingdom of the paradigm in the harder. This the south judah so the thing is we had remind but that was the day was called. it became a day of mourning in the jewish world. It's called the ninth of thomas. The day that the defensive walls of the nation are broken. and now it's open for real destruction. Okay so the days been celebrate. Celebrate commemorated for ages. Okay day of mourning nighttime. Who's the the hedges removes being a month. yes which is named after god. Yes it's a month. It's the hebrew month of tammuz. You know why is a hebrew month named after way. We'll same the same way. Why are our days. Wednesday tuesday german. God's sure january janice and i mean but it's just interesting that even they were a nation of israel would would have because of because of the same language. It was known as that month. So many of the hebrew months are babylonian. Okay so neither thomas all right so now now we have a number of years. Ago was a major event that really has has has altered. Things has opened the door things. And that was the supreme court in america's for this is of course after the harbinger america's falling away from god has accelerated and when the supreme court when we struck down the biblical definition of marriage and the historic definition of marriage. You telling me. I shouldn't celebrate that. Take down in rain rain. Who is so sweet. Please continue yes so The with this. So this happened on june twenty-sixth Two thousand fifteen but on the biblical calendar. It was the ninth of thomas the day that the hedge is removed the day that the wall is broken the day that the nation becomes open to judgement and that was a unique moment in american history. Because we've been Messed up presentation in many ways but we have never officially officially done anything quite like that. I like that. Yeah and that has listened that has led to where we are. Now that has led to the laws changing schools for you. That was the ninth of ten. Well imagine for me. It was yeah. It was the night of moose. Yeah i mean he was the. It was the date that that was the day they did on that day. Whoa whoa whoa. Whoa whoa have. You thought about writing about this stuff. Yeah i kinda did come on. Which book is that. This is the harbinger to okay so in the harbor to electric gulu. You say that the day the supreme court did that. June twenty six two thousand fifteen was in fact. Also the ninth of ten years. That is freaky. I miss that. That is freaky. Though the day that it's morning the day that the hedge of the nation is removed. And that is what leads to judgement of that nation. That's the day it happened. Nice all right so Yeah now now let me get another thing with the kind of the bigger picture you know in that. Is that america and we all have this. America was founded after god is unique unique. I mean because nations have god or worship but in america from the conception of the puritans was founded. I only know two nations of the world. One is israel the others america. Look this is a fact. Yeah you don't have to like it but it's a fact you you you you hate it. You can hate america. You could hate israel we do whatever you want but you cannot deny that this is true. Yeah that this nation was uniquely and explicitly founded on the god of the bible and with his Blessing in other words. They never would have just said. Oh these are some biblical principles. This was it was it was an explicit covenant with god of the scripture. Yeah and i mean it's unique and really when you look at america's uniqueness and greatness it all comes back to that. Even when he became sec more secular it was still trying to be a light to the world based on that original thing so the first ones were the puritans founded and the key and that was john winthrop john winthrop. If george washington called the father of the nation. he's been called the grandfather. He came over in sixteen thirty At leading the pure nexus there and he was considered like the moses of this movement and walk while on the ship. They are bella. He pens he pens. The document called A model of christian charity which is the first time he says. And this is this is the. This is the longest symbol of america. Ever i mean from the beginning It he said we shall be as a city on a hill and that from jesus city on a hill the eyes of the world looking at us and but but what people know that it's in other words if we follow god he's he goes on to say. The blessings of israel will be upon us. We will be. We will put our enemies to flight will be prosperous. We will be american. The most prosperous powerful nation he said he prophesied and america was. Here's another thing that america was founded not only to god was founded after the pattern of israel. It was to be that and so it's amazing that we've also followed the fall of israel and now we're seeing the signs of israel so what what people don't say what they miss is right after. He said that he gave a warning he said but if we turn away from our god if we follow other gods if we turn away then basically. He's the judgements that came on israel. He's taken it from deuteronomy. Twenty eight and thirty. Four moses's will come upon america. We'll be right back old.

You know, if we do this right, it's going to be. It's going to glorify God. If we if we do this poorly, we're going to be a sign of failure to the world. We're gonna do the Winthrop admonition next week. Doctor, aren't you were saying you had one thing to say which I find difficult to believe. But what is that one thing to say? Well, it's like the hidden one big thing. We have to The term Enlightenment is an equivocal terms. What do we mean by it? Well, in this case, the Salem Covenant is a radically enlightenment document is in one meaning. That is, uh They don't they believe in a community of religious conformity. Everybody has to act. The right way. That's because they all form a compact among themselves and agreed to do it. And that means that, just like the declaration of Independence Authority starts with us And we subscribe to things. And so that's there's your break. That's the gulf wider than the Atlantic. Between the columnist and the thoughts of James the first and his counselors. But doctor and don't they consider themselves to be loyal subjects of the king? They do, But you know it. Z like you Catholics, right? You're all loyal subjects to the pope. But you get to say what that means. And, uh, s O. They what they think is that you know how versatile what did James first do? What was he doing? Well, he wasn't burning people anymore. But your civil Right, Sure voting and you're serving on Juries, and you're being a full member of the community. Those were those were conditioned on any suppressing my church. My church was illegal. It had to be conducted in quiet solitude and hidden chapels on denied in the oath test was a quiet way specifically ban that in 17 89. Because we didn't want a religious test. James, the first was a religious tyrant. That's right. And you know, not the worst. They were earlier when they were worse, but he was one. And so they didn't agree with that right? And that means that they had a separate opinion. About the King's authority from the king. Yes, and that means that the King's authority is subject to that kind of thing. So there's a world of difference between those things. And city. Another thing is they wanted can implied this They wanted the The religious practice. To be something separate from government and not enforced by government They wanted enforced in a different way, right? We would just all agree. And you know the story of the Colonial history is They came to decide that that doesn't work for you. No, I mean fire it hell so college if I tried to make everybody go to the same church You know, I'd be burned in effigy tomorrow and And yet, on the other hand, where a very Christian community and we get along with each other nicely, and that's partly because on Sunday we all go to church for we want to. Yes, and that's what and Rhode Island exists because it didn't work quickly. Right? That's right. It's a zoo.
