    You know a history presentation is so informative and inspiring when you are constantly stopping the video to take notes! What a way to celebrate your 100th episode, Dave! How you used quotes from our Founding Fathers to connect Christianity and the United States was very well done! I appreciated how you ended it with some memorable words from Thomas Jefferson, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever." Unfortunately, many people want to take God out of our country when He is the very foundation for it. Thank you for taking back that narrative and reminding us who truly reigns this country from above. Jesus will return again!

    There will always be complainers and fault finders Dave. But, while we celebrate this day not for perfection but for the hope and striving of what we've done and our ideals and what Americans have accomplished! People who come here and become AMERICAN'S do not identify as a race, or a nationality of their heritage but become melted into one indistinguishable whole! Free from the prejudice of hierarchy. That's what we continually strive for we are all equal in God's eyes and we are always striving to write the inadequacies of our wrongs when we find them. That is what American exceptionalism is! That is why people want to come here and why our enemies want to destroy us. It's amazing how much ignorance there is about this, and why we need to continue to celebrate this day and hang on and teach our children and our grandchildren the uniqueness of the system and freedoms God has given us!

    Matthew 5:4-10
    4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
    5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
    6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
    7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
    8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
    9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
    10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
    Proverbs 28:21
    21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.
    Matthew 6:14-15
    14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you:
    15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
    Matthew 5:14-16
    14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
    15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
    16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
    Matthew 5:43-44
    43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
    44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
    John 15:11-20
    11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
    12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
    13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
    14 Ye are my friends, if ye whatsoever I command you.
    15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
    16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of your Father in my name, he may give it you.
    17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
    18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
    19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
    20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

    @InternetSpaceCadet Před 11 měsíci

    I know TBN has been pretty off-the-wall in the past and I stopped watching it upon finding out at the time. I think it might've been in the eighties sometime.
    But I never knew this show had anything to do with TBN until the very end of it when he said thanks to TBN for putting this on and I thought, "Isn't that interesting!"
    But I say, if it's right on, WHO CARES who put it on, because, obviously, they didn't care to hide anything about the truth about this country, and even threw in some stuff that I wish was common knowledge about what the founding fathers said about this form of gov't that we have, and from what I've seen on here, which was the longest anyone's ever went into what they said, they were pretty much spot on. We are playing out the old proverbial whale in the fishing net routine, and our constitution is in jeopardy. According to I believe it was Thomas Jefferson, our form of government will only be strong as long as the people (We the People) are people of morals and principles and justice, and godliness. And once that goes, our choices seem to be, repent, get back to those morals, or collapse like a bag of rocks.
    And odds are, we're going down now, however, I know anything can happen, we could have a miracle. We could reunite somehow, and do a second Chronicles 7:14, and be back in business, maybe better this time because this time, no slaves in the south. And no agenda to have them.
    That said, I it is disturbing to realize that America doesn't seem to be anywhere in the book of Revelation in the bible and many believe we are in the last days.
    Some believe we might be in there after all as Mystery Babylon, but we would have long ceased from being America as we know it.
    But there is another much more appealing view. Maybe we're not here as that Christian nation because a huge revival did happen, and it was like the Jesus Movement of the 60s and 70s, and instead of "getting religion", people discovered the Jesus of the bible, the one who's next move is to rapture His Bride and take her to the place He prepared for her, and it was enough people that the infrastructure of the govt offices have to be repopulated quickly or the people left will lose it to invaders/conquerors.
    So, once the revival hit, because people were discovering the Jesus of the bible, it was making it possible for this nation to run the way it was truly designed to run based on the Constitution, and this time, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was truly enforced as being for ALL men (mankind, which also includes women) and color/race wasn't even a factor in deciding who was allowed those freedoms/rights. Are you human? Then, those rights are yours. And the only limitations then become, that we don't have the right to step on those rights concerning anyone else.
    Jesus is coming back, first for His Bride. The church. Basically, all believers who come to believe in Him for salvation (go to heaven with sins forgiven, and de-fanged because of what He did on the cross.) before the rapture which is the next big thing on His agenda.
    The next time will be to bring the great tribulation to an end, deal out justice, and establish His kingdom on earth.
    All this to say that if enough people want this nation to return to the godly nation the pilgrims prayed it would be at Plymouth Rock, and the founding fathers, warts and all, tried to bring about, The lion's share of an entire nation could just suddenly just be gone! Poof! Just like that!
    He's just waiting because He wants as many as possible to come to Him before the rapture. I better go. My sick kitty calls me.
    Maranatha means, Come quickly, Lord Jesus! So, Maranatha, and happy 4th, everyone.

  • @TheHammerThatShapesTheHand

    Here is what I wonder. I'm not going to back down from this question. So here we are, so insanely overjoyed as the country celebrates independence day/Fourth Of July. This is in the midst of democracy dying before our eyes, women losing all rights, and voting rights disappearing from the political landscape.
    What if America had remained a British colony? Would things really be any different? Would we be any safer as a people? Would you and your family be in a better place financially and emotionally? Would the quality of life really be worse? Would we really have less freedom, and how do you define freedom?

    July 4th is not the birthday of the U.S. The U.S. did not exist in 1776. The title of my copy of the Declaration of Independence reads: The unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen united States of America. The words 'unanimous' and 'thirteen' make no sense if the 'united States of America' means one country. Here is what I celebrate on July 4th: the secession of the 13 colonies from the British crown, and their change from 13 colonies to 13 countries.

    At all times, at all times, always divisions broke out, between good and evil, between north and south.
    Mainly because most of the times the enemies made their entrance in disguise and as the victim's
    Thats why rise the question
    Back that time was that division of the country really worth it?
    What?
    Are we, racist inhumans?
    Not at all.
    Only we cannot forget that back time, there were thousands of lives lost.
    The ones whom fought to "free some people"
    And is even sadest to see, that at the present time youngsters and even children between 18 and 19 years of age continue to fight and dying " for the cause"?
    Every day they die mostly in the middle east, and those who do not die, return home disabled, mutilated and half crazy
    Meanwhile the victims whoever seem to be still not satisfied, since from this free country continuing fight for their rights, among others:
    _ Suspended the authority of the police department
    _ They have assumed responsibility for this position and since " they are on charged" almost the entire administration of the country.is also on their hands
    _ Since then, many criminals who repeatedly killed raped can continue doing so and even ended up decorated and with monuments
    - Freedom to defecate in the streets with their pets, even in supermarkets, restaurants, churches to parks which are exclusive for kids toddlers and infants , on the trains, they roam with ferocious animals on the streets terrorizing the neighborhood
    Americans.are divided?
    Damn right.
    As a matter or fact, the stampede at the Capitol, was the answer which let us see the reality, and the stands of the majority of Americans.
    The Stampede, did the job:
    Did measure the Country
    Or what else accomplished that stampede hate.division play victims?
    Not.
    Absolutely not.
    Believe it or not the stamped on the capitol the stampede at the capitol
    only put the country's enemies on alert to accelerate to unleashed the immigration from all over the world by all kinds of criminals in the country,.
    So who foments hatred and disorder?
    But above all.
    What is the real goal of their fight?
    Perhaps among many others and the main one:
    total control in the education system or "the little school"
    Thanks and just for some people
    Happy 4th of July!!
    For others
    4th of your lie
