The American Covenant: One Nation Under God, Vol. 1: Discovery Through Revolution
About this book
Have you ever wondered why similar spiritual feelings permeate your soul whether you are reading the inspired words of Joshua...or General Washington? Or why your eyes get equally misty, and your heart similarly joyous, whether you are singing a sacred Hymn...or the Star Spangled Banner? Yes, you know this is a "choice land" given by God, but have you ever considered that perhaps there is a deeper connection-even deeper than you ever imagined-between Heaven and America? This book promises to open your eyes to this deeper connection. You will learn how and why ancient prophets-from Jacob (Israel), Jeremiah and Isaiah-foresaw the United States and knew of its divine ordination. Besides the advent of the Messiah, there were few things that almost all ancient prophets saw. America was one of them! More astonishing, perhaps, is the idea that the fathers of the nation-from the Pilgrims to the revolutionaries, to the patriots of the Civil War-knew they had been seen! This book, by Timothy Ballard is written from a decidedly LDS (Mormon) perspective. But will appeal to open-minded Christians of all denominations. Why else did the early settlers insist they were the "New Israel"? Why was George Washington's scripture of choice an Old Testament prophecy about the gospel destiny of America? Why did John Adams seek a Restoration, and why did Jefferson directly prophecy that such would occur shortly after his death and that it would rest upon the foundation of the Constitution? These are but samples of the many puzzle pieces that, when properly assembled, reveal the true nature and purpose of America. Other evidences include symbolic images on our dollar bill, miracles in war, a prophet's warning, a president's prayer, scriptures with cryptic meaning hiding in plain sight-pieces, clues, words and symbols that actually fit perfectly together. Upon finishing this book, you will ask, How did I not see all this before? The key is found in "The American Covenant."
