The prophets of the Bible are individuals chosen by God to speak for God. Many mentions of prophets are made in the Bible. In fact, a section of the Old Testament is devoted to a collection of books by them. Their names, and quotes, appear all over the New Testament and are the subject of sermons to this day.
What they all had in common was a heart for God, an anointing to hear from Him, and the faithfulness to impart his message to others.
“For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:21).
Prophets speak loudly from the pages of the past, their words seem to take on greater meaning over time, are more relevant than ever and provide us with insights into the past and counsel for our present and future.
As a fan of American history, I often think of historic figures as similar to the prophets of the Bible, whose lives, experiences, achievements and words take on greater meaning over time and provide us with guidance concerning the great challenges we face today as a nation.
In my view, three such American Prophets are former Presidents George Washington, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan, each of whom presented the American people with prophetic farewell messages that speak loudly today and, if we listen closely, can provide us with guidance and counsel to guide our collective future. Today, we consider Washington.
After forming and leading the Continental Army in the War for Independence, George Washington, known for generations as “The Father of Our Country,” was the unanimous selection as our nation’s first President, after America’s new Constitution was ratified in 1783.

What the fake virus panic is all about is social security, medicare and welfare programs are soon going bust.
The people who depend on welfare have created a gigantic fake emergency to suspend democracy and let unelected bureaucracies take over.
It is called the Third Rail of politics to touch or cut social security that leads a politician to political death. So engineer rigged election, a phony epidemic, and reverse race riots so that only vaccinated people will qualify for government services and the unvaccinated are ineligible or will be taxed.
So all this is just another taxation scheme that will put us all into feudalism and slavery.
I am not sure if Washington warned about the manipulation of a hoax emergency for unelected bureaucracies to take over the government.

This lengthy sentence encapsulates the 20th Century Amendments. With that in mind, I propose every single amendment passed in the 20th Century be “subject to recall” by the best jury in the world, We the people. We all know that starting with the 16th Amendment right through to the 27th. MOST were passed and ratified either in haste or by usurpation of the choice of, We the People.
Simply think about the 16th, 17th, 18th, 22nd, 23rd, 25th& 26th.
While some would include the 19th Amendment to this list, that is maybe, possibly a ‘Bridge to Far’.

No women should vote unless she is a property owner. One vote per household. Must be a property owner or have served in the military.
Washington signed the Lighthouse Act of 1789 into law which was a Federal power grab of state-owned property. Additionally, there is no record of him saying anything negative about the 1798 Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seaman, which set up the creation of a government operated system of marine hospitals and mandated that private sector sailors pay a tax (withheld from their wages) to support it. He was a founding father of the deep state.

What about if both husband and wife own the property? Who says that only the husband can own a property? YOU? Sorry but you have no say in this.
Welcome to FR, POS Troll.
I read private sector. So?
Too bad. Women are generally nesters and the fewer of them that vote, the better. If they jointly own the property, they can let the woman use their family vote if the man is weak or henpecked or something. If I get put in charge, that’s the way it’ll be. I’m a complementarian in theology
not an egalitarian.
Next question.
