Today is Flag Day, commemorating June 14, 1777, when the Continental Congress passed a resolution “that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.”
The principles the founders of 1776 fought for then, are the same principles all patriots since then fight for–Christian Liberty under the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-Israel. Those Patriots of old fought against tyrannical, ungodly magistrates who usurped the power and authority of the Great I AM attempting to rule over and control the Christian Liberty of Christians then, now and ever since. The grandchildren and great grandchildren of those Patriots of ’76 overwhelmingly fought for the Confederacy of the Southern States during the late unpleasantness.
Patriots like Robert E. Lee trace their ancestry back to “Light-horse” Henry Lee and many others who fought in what is often called the second American Revolution. Unfortunately, many of these heroes are being attacked by antiChrist communists today and having their memory removed from us by having monuments and memorials to them removed by those who want to change and remove the truth and our history, thus altering the future by obliterating the past.
A new breed of people are challenging the existence of truth and those who bring it. They bring a ‘new truth’ with them, one that doesn’t include us, our ancestors or the principles they lived by nor the symbols that represented them and their–our–people from eons ago. The truth makes free, the ‘new truth’ makes slaves.
We are admonished by the scriptures that “Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants [slaves] of men.” 1 Corinthians 7:23
