George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1789 Giving Thanks To The God Of The Bible Is In Stunning Contrast To The America Of 2019

President George Washington issues his thanksgiving proclamation of 1789, giving Almighty God all the thanks, praise and glory for His blessings to us.

George Washington thanksgiving proclamation of 1789
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The first Thanksgiving was on Thursday the 26th day of November in 1789 as George Washington gave honor, glory, praise and thanks to the Almighty God of the Bible

I find it both ironic and heartbreakingly sad that, as I read the original thanksgiving proclamation of 1789 written by American president George Washington, that the nation he served so faithfully is stand poised to elect its first Socialist president should the Democrats be successful in 2020. And I am not talking about Bernie Sanders, I am talking about any of the Democrats now running for the nomination of their party. Not only have the Democrats become Socialists, they are also decidedly anti-God and anti-Israel.

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalm 9:17 (KJV)

The founding of America has been called the “great experiment“, and never before in our nation’s history has that experiment been so close to coming to an end. As I write this, a coup is underway by the Democratic Party in Congress right now to attempt to undo the election of 2016 and impeach a duly-elected sitting president. So as you celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow, a day set aside by George Washington to thank Almighty God for His blessings to us as a nation, just remember how very close it all is to coming apart. We have become an ungrateful and unthankful nation who has forgotten God, kicked Him out of  our schools and courtrooms, and wonder why we are having such trouble here in the 21st century. Thanksgiving has become a near-meaningless secular holiday for ‘friends and family’ with mere lip service paid to the Almighty God who provides the blessings we refuse to thank Him for.

“But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:” Proverbs 1:25-29 (KJV)

Here now is the original Thanksgiving proclamation given to us by George Washington 230 years ago tomorrow. You would do well to put Almighty God first in whatever celebrations you have tomorrow on this year’s Thanksgiving day. Because you never know when Almighty God, who is amazingly longsuffering towards us, might just decide to take away the blessings that we, as a nation, no longer seem to be very grateful for. George Washington, should he visit the city that bears his name, even be able to recognize what this nation has become? I don’t think he would. This Thanksgiving, give Almighty God thanks and praise for the air you breathe and for the blood that pumps through your veins by the action of the beating heart that He allows to function.

By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor– and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be– That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks–for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation–for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war–for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed–for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted–for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions– to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually–to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed–to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord–To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us–and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

GIVEN under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

Joy Behar And ‘The View’ Hosts Mock Christians By Setting ‘Impeach Trump’ Song To The Tune Of ‘Joy To The World’ Hymn About The Birth Of Jesus Christ

Comedian Mario Cantone appeared on a special segment of ‘The View’, and sang a song to co-host Joy Behar in celebration of her birthday. What song did Cantone sing to her? It was called ‘Impeach Trump’, and it was set to the tune of the time-honored and beloved Christian hymn ‘Joy To The World‘, written to celebrate the miracle birth of Jesus to the virgin mother Mary. They could have chosen any song, so why this one? Because the Godless Democrats don’t only hate Trump, they also hate the miracle of life which is why they push so hard for abortion, and they hate Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world.

Oprah Winfrey And Stephen Colbert Take Turns Mocking God, Jesus And The Bible On The Late Show

Back in March of 2018 on the Stephen Colbert show, Colbert discussed with guest Oprah Winfrey the possibility of her running for president in 2020. Winfrey famously said not too long ago that if she were to run for president, she would need a ‘sign from God’. So Colbert had “god” show up to discuss it. READ MORE

Please continue to pray for us, and for wisdom for me especially, as we continue taking steps to print the NTEB branded King James Bible for our free Bible and Bibles Behind Bars program. It is exciting and intimidating at the same time. If the Lord has prospered your financially, we ask you to donate to help us continue to send out free Bibles at this level, and even higher than we are at the moment. It takes a lot of prayer, and a lot of resources to do all this. Praise the Lord we are doing it, all of us together, labouring in the Lord’s harvest field. TO THE FIGHT!!!

When you contribute to this fundraising effort, you are helping us to do what the Lord called us to do. The money you send in goes primarily to the overall daily operations of this site. When people ask for Bibles, we send them out at no charge. When people write in and say how much they would like gospel tracts but cannot afford them, we send them a box at no cost to them for either the tracts or the shipping, no matter where they are in the world. We have a Gospel Billboard program. We are now broadcasting Bible studies, Podcasts and a Sunday Service 5 times a week, thanks to your generous donations. All this is possible because YOU pray for us, YOU support us, and YOU give so we can continue growing.

But whatever you do, don’t do nothing. Time is short and we need your help right now. The Lord has given us an open door with a tremendous ‘course’ for us to fulfill that will create an excellent experience at the Judgement Seat of Christ. Please pray for our efforts, and if the Lord leads you to donate, be as generous as possible. The war is REAL, the battle HOT and the time is SHORT…TO THE FIGHT!!!

Donald Trump Says He Is Doing Good Deeds In Order To Get To Heaven, Why Hasn’t Any One In The White House Faith Office Told Him How To Get Saved?

President Trump is surrounded by professing Christians at the White House, yet he has no idea of the biblical plan of salvation. Why is that?

President Donald Trump is surrounded by Christians on every level, he even created the White House Faith Office where he installed Paula White as his spiritual leader. He has professing Christians like Christian Nationalist Pete Hegseth around him every day, you would think that someone in his circle would have given him the gospel by this point. You would think that, but you’d be wrong. Donald Trump told Fox News the other day he is busy working his way to heaven by stopping wars around the world. Nope, that’s not it, Mr. President, not by a long shot.

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:5-7 (KJB)

Let me tell you what will not save your soul: baptism, the sacraments, confession to a priest, the Eucharist, mass, good works, good deeds, prayers of the saints, prayers to the saints, the Sinner’s Prayer, Mary, predestination, candles, amulets, the Universe, being raised in a church or attending a church service. Salvation exists in a payment made by Jesus Christ on the cross on your behalf. When you receive that payment by faith, His shed blood is applied to your account, and your sin debt satisfied before God. Asking Jesus into your heart does not ‘do the trick’, and neither does simply asking God to forgive you. You have a debt, and only a payment He approves of will be accepted. That payment is free, that payment is His shed blood, do you want it or not? That’s the price of admission to Heaven, Mr. President, your works don’t factor into the equation.

A Surreal Scene At The White House As The Combined Leaders Of Europe Were Lined Up In Chairs Like Schoolchildren As President Trump Lectured Them

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The assembled leadership of Europe were sat down like schoolkids around the desk in the Oval Office while ‘teacher’ Trump lectured them on Russia and Ukraine

It was a wild scene in the Oval Office yesterday as the leaders of Italy, Germany, France, Finland, the president of the EU Commission, and the NATO secretary general were all put in chairs around the Resolute Desk while President Trump pontificated on how to proceed with ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. It was crazy, just look at the disdain on all their faces, like something out of an end times movie. That’s because we are living in an end times movie, and that’s the memo.

“For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.” Isaiah 29:10 (KJB)

On the Podcast yesterday, I talked about why Putin only wants to deal with Trump, and that’s because Putin knows that, in the end, he gets just about everything he wants from Trump that he would never get from talks with anyone else. All Trump wants is the Nobel Peace Prize for ending the war regardless of how the war is actually brought to an end. Trump becomes Putin’s proxy to deliver and dictate the terms to Zelensky and Ukraine. Fun fact, Putin will never, in a million years, agree to a ‘peace deal’ that is not highly slanted in his favor including acquiring parcels of Ukrainian territory he needs to rebuild the old Soviet Union. Don’t get me wrong, I hate war and would love to see peace in Ukraine, but that’s not going to happen because “and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.” 

European leaders discuss Ukraine security guarantees after Trump talks

FROM THE GUARDIAN UK: Monday’s White House meeting shed little light on Putin’s territorial terms. The Russian leader has demanded Ukraine’s withdrawal from Donetsk and Luhansk, but Zelenskyy has set a firm red line against ceding land beyond the present occupation or legitimising Moscow’s control.

Some observers say that for all the diplomatic manoeuvring, there has been little real movement towards ending the war. “Nothing had happened in Anchorage on Aug. 15th. Nothing happened yesterday in Washington DC,” Gérard Araud, the former French ambassador to the US, wrote on X. “Putin, Zelenskyy and the European leaders were all relieved: they had avoided Trump taking unwelcome decisions. It was the triumph of empty vagueness and meaningless commitments.” READ MORE

President Trump whispered ‘I’ll help you’ to Vladimir Putin and then gave him Ukraine at the Summit in Alaska paving the way for reemergence of the Soviet Union

With Emmanuel Macron leading the way, European leaders rush to Washington DC to plead Zelensky’s cause after Trump hands Ukraine to Putin on a silver platter at Summit in Alaska. As we have said before, it’s a strange thing to watch ‘peace talks’ with the aggressor nation that leave out the victim nation that was attacked. It’s quite similiar to the deal made during WWII between Germany and Russia to decide the fate of Poland. It feels like we’ve seen this movie before, and that’s the memo.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, students of history know exactly what Vladimir Putin is up to, couldn’t be any more clear. Putin is working to restore the old Soviet Union and lay the groundwork for WWIII. US President Donald Trump is way out of his league here, as was evidenced at last week’s Ukraine Summit in Alaska. Remember back in 2012 when former president Barack Obama whispered to Russian president Dmitry Medvedev that ‘I’ll have more flexibility after the election’, and how outraged we all were by that seeming capitulation? Last week, President Trump whispered to Vladimir Putin ‘I’ll help you’ and then gave him Ukraine. New boss same as the old boss. Now the heads of Europe led by Macron are in Washington DC to beg and plead for Zelensky and Ukraine, how’s that going to go? On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we show you.

I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love.
