I've always loved studying history, especially as I've gotten older. Not just our own history here in the USA, but human history. I've always found it interesting that history always repeats itself. Humans always do the same thing.
Here in the United States, freedom and liberty is something that we "supposedly" strive for. But are we really free? Think about what true freedom is. What liberty is. Are you free?
Sure, we enjoy a lot of freedoms that other countries do not. But not by leaps and bounds anymore. We have allowed ourselves to be shackled and enslaved. Think about the freedoms we enjoyed just a little over 100 years ago in our country.
Back then we could hunt and fish without permission from the government. We could own firearms without begging for permission. We could get married, own our own land, build on our own land, grow our own food and sell it, keep almost all of our wages, buy and sell freely, travel without restriction, start a business, and school our own children.
Now we have to ask government for our God given rights. We have to pay a fee to the "crown" for these things. How far we have fallen.
Our elections are corrupt. Our politicians are corrupt. Our courts are unjust. Our judges are wicked. We are taxed beyond what our Founders could have ever imagined.
Our once beautiful cities are now crime infested jungles. Our borders are wide open. Look what this nation has become.
Our founders laid out one of the greatest blueprints for freedom. The Constitution. Derived from Scripture and a dependence on the Creator. They knew true freedom can only come from God. They knew without an appeal to heaven, we would lose freedom. They knew this from experience.
They came from a land where monarchy ruled. The king ruled.
So here we are. A couple hundred years later. ONLY a couple hundred years later. We've taken this freedom we were given and have exchanged it for a king.
The tyranny we escaped from 200 years ago, we have ran right back to.
In our arrogance, we have kicked out God from the public square. We pridefully have taken credit for this once great nation. And in our pride, we have lost all that we were given....freedom. We have given it away and become slaves.
Governments ALWAYS oppress their people. Always. Throughout the annuls of human history, this has always been the case. It is the case throughout the world today and we see it playing out here in America. Like I said, history repeats itself.
The flag An Appeal To Heaven was a flag flown by the early colonists in their resistance to the British King. It was flown on our ships and used in battle. It's purpose was just as the words indicated, and appeal to heaven for the mercies of God.
We need to fly this flag again. But this time in resistance to our own government. We need to appeal to heaven for our nation to turn back to God in repentance. To seek out His mercy and to restore freedom.
Without Gods mercy we will continue down the path of slavery, and eventually destruction. We need to wake up. A few people can change the world. Strive for liberty. Strive for freedom. Pray to God for mercy on our nation.
