The Christian Covenant of Plymouth Rock

North America was dedicated to Jesus Christ when the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. That covenant with Jesus Christ endures today. God will not forget when we hold to His promises.

December 21, 1620, is an important date for Christian prayer intercessors. This was a solemn covenant sealed in sacrifice of lives, fortunes, and in the deaths of the first Winter. The dedication to Jesus Christ was intended for the blessing of all the continent’s inhabitants. The Pilgrims – unlike many settlers who followed – came to these shores partly to evangelize the natives, with a determination to love and befriend them.

There are many dates revolve around the 400th year anniversary of the voyage of the Mayflower carrying the Christian Pilgrims to the Cape Cod region.

The Mayflower arrived severely off-course on November 9, 2020. Realizing they were not under the King’s jurisdiction, the non-religious Strangers among them threatened to abandon the expedition and go their own way. On November 11, 2020, the Mayflower Compact was worked out and signed. It was a foundational document of self-governance. But the task of searching for a suitable place to land and start building was just beginning.

It was not until December 21, 1620, when the row boats pulled ashore at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts. The boats were dragged alongside Plymouth Rock so the women could step off. But as a matter of oral history, the Pilgrims also used Plymouth Rock as a Christian altar.

We know for certain from Governor William Bradford’s massive historical diary that the Pilgrims dedicated the continent to Christ, for the spread of the gospel, and to demonstrate a city set on a hill for the world.

It was also dedicated to God in 1565, when the Spanish arrived in what is now St Augustine and claimed it “en Nombre de Dios,” in the Name of God. That then became the name of the Indian mission and church established there, and the site is still known as Nombre de Dios.

Our origins in this country are nothing if not religious!

A good book on the subject: “Saints And Strangers”, by Willison.

Wonderful account! May the upcoming days bring back truths that were meant to crumble under powerful evil tactics...showing only The Most High God could have given to those listening to Him and praying for truth to prevail.

I am praying for our President, the good ones in Congress and court systems, those who have been brave to come forward with what they saw/did that was untruthful and Christians in America to repent so God will see that we want what the early Pilgrims declared for this great country.

GOD BLESS AMERICA. AMERICA BLESS GOD!!!

Except that they get the year wrong twice here. 1620

Amos 3:6,7 If a trumpet sounds in a city, will the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it? Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

This nation was founded on His solid Rock. No rotgut, evil. godless leftists shall cancel it.

Blessings to you Kaslin for posting this excellent article. The significance of our founders covenant is of such deep spiritual foundation we are ALL called to remember it and that He is always faithful - now let us be firmly rooted in this unmovable covenanted foundation with our God.

History is prophecy.

Like the last line of the article:

God yet has more blessings for this land that we have still not fully experienced.

Genesis 15

13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

It's like taking down the Titanic -- iceberg, Goldberg, what's the difference? No difference, both a case of being the 90% you don't see:

Hosea 1:11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! It's that yearly sacrifice for all the family:

Miss me yet?

First I ever heard that the Pilgrims meant to evangelize the Indians. How long did that last?

The only reason the Pilgrims survived at all was that they’d been befriended by a Catholic.

>Fact is, the Pilgrims came to this land escaping religious persecution. Religious persecution from the Church of England, but before them the Romnn Catholics. They the original Christian persecutors of Europe.

[Romulus]

The Pilgrims got into the religious persecution business as soon as they got the chance.
