The 400 Year Old Prophecy & Warning of America’s Fall
The words and vision of John Winthrop were prophetic. He said in effect from the Bible, if America would follow the ways of God, then the blessings of God that came on Israel would come upon America. American civilization as we know it was founded on two grounds. The first was Virginia, Cape Henry, Virginia Beach.
It was begun by a group that sailed the Atlantic had and they when they came to land they put a makeshift cross on the sand in the sand and they bowed their heads in prayer and they dedicated this new civilization to God. It would lead to the founding of Jamestown of Williamsburg of Virginia dedicated to God and for the purpose of spreading the gospel.
The other one was Massachusetts Bay and that in many ways is even more critical founded by the separatists known to us as the pilgrims who came to the new world to find to found a society based on God’s word and religious freedom. They sailed the ship the Mayflower. They sealed a covenant called the Mayflower Compact.
in it the new civil and in their compact and in their founding that they said this new civilization was to exist for God’s glory and to spread the gospel that was 1620 10 years later came a another great move and the is called a Puritan exodus from Europe the man who led it was called his name was John Winthrop the Puritans set out to create a people it says in the new world who would be in their own words would be religiously peaceibly ly civily governed and their life their life and their example would win the natives to the faith of God. On
March 23rd 1630 they set out about a thousand of them in ships led by John Winthrop in the ship the Arbella. While aboard the ship he wrote down the vision for the new civilization that would be known as America. He said this. We are a company professing ourselves fellow members of Christ Messiah knit together by this bond of love.
There stands between us this cause between God and us. We are entered into covenant with him for this work. And he wrote we must consider that we shall be as a city on a hill. The eyes of all peoples are upon us. A city on a hill. This is the most lasting symbol of America. Not the bald eagle, not the flag that has ever been given from 1630 to now.
It came at the foundation was embedded at the foundation of the house called America. Where did he get it from? He got it from Messiah. So here now think about the vision of America here came from John Win who got it from Messiah. So here you’ve got something radical. of a nation that is founded on a vision that Messiah Jesus gave to his disciples as if it was going to be a civilization of disciples which was their dream.
