In 1620 the Puritans arrived in North America in order to, according to their Mayflower Compact, plant the Biblical faith from Jerusalem (not Rome) in the New World. That religious idea then spread across the North American continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific, establishing churches on virtually every corner, and making America indeed a predominantly Christian nation. Judeo-Christian values were established as the norm, even in the arts, entertainment, and education. With the constitutional right to freedom of religion, other faiths freely established themselves as well. The first Islamic mosque appeared only in 1934.

Between 1620 and 2020 four biblical generations passed, based on Genesis 15:13, where God explains to Abraham that his seed would be held captive for four generations – 400 years- until the fullness of the sin of the peoples of Canaan came to its full, and then would come the deliverance of Israel from slavery after 430 years, and judgement to those nations. This was codified in theTen Commandments as a fundamental principle:

“For I, YHVH your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the childrento the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”

Those four generation spans of time can be traced back to the time between the Exodus from Egypt and the construction of the temple of YHVH in Jerusalem in 957 BC (1 Kings 6:1) to the years between the construction and destruction of that first temple in 587 BC. Then the years between the return migration from Babylon under Nehemiah who rebuilt Jerusalem and its walls in 444 BC, to the construction of Herod’s Temple in 20 BC. Then came the second temple’s final destruction by the Romans in 70 AD, and the exile of the Jewish people in 135 AD for two millennia. In more recent times the Muslim Ottoman Turks took over Jerusalem from 1517 to 1917, when the British captured the Holy Land and Jerusalem- 400 years. That was the beginning of the return of the Jews to the Land of Israel.

In 2020 life in America changed dramatically along with the Covid plague. With the erosion and decapitation of Judeo-Christian values in nearly every sphere of American life, from the pornography in the entertainment industry to the education of children and their induced gender confusion, to the introduction of same-sex marriages, has come the woes of civilizational chaos. The unleashing of the normalization of perversion and lawlessness has brought a general dissatisfaction that has led to wanton violence in the streets and in schools. And the calls to a return to the values that had brought stability to society are now mocked and spoken against. The great men who founded the nation are belittled and dishonored, and the love and patriotism of America is being replaced with loathing by a generation of poorly educated youth, now of voting age. Swept along by vile propaganda, they expound even to betray America’s one true ally in the Middle East, Israel, and revive the evil specter of antisemitism. Even nature is responding in kind with devastating droughts and earthquakes along with floods and raging wildfires. And common sense is no longer common.
