The founding fathers of the USA, though they sometimes professed otherwise, sensed that they were guided by a divine purpose (Freemasonry).
Thomas Jefferson argued that the Great Seal of the United States should depict the Israelites, “led by a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night”.
George Washington claimed, in his inaugural address, that every step towards independence was “distinguished by some token of providential agency”.
Thus the American identity was part of a process of Masonic evil of “The Protocols”.
The Catholic Church claimed that it had supplanted the Jews as the elect, as the Jews had been repudiated by God.
The English Protestants accused the Catholics of breaking faith, and claimed that now “they” had become the beloved of God.
The American revolutionaries believed that the English, in turn, had broken their covenant: the Americans had now become the chosen people, with a divine duty to deliver the world to God’s dominion. Just recently, Six weeks ago, George Bush showed that this belief persists, when he recalled a remark of Woodrow Wilson’s. “America,” he quoted, “has a spiritual energy in her, which no other nation can contribute to the liberation of mankind.”
Gradually this notion of election has been conflated with another, still more dangerous idea. It is not just that the Americans are God’s chosen people; America itself is now perceived as a divine project. In his farewell presidential address, Ronald Reagan spoke of his country as a “shining city on a hill”, a reference to the Sermon on the Mount.7 But what Jesus (as) was describing was not a temporal Jerusalem, but the kingdom of heaven. Not only, in Reagan’s account, was God’s kingdom to be found in the United States of America, but the kingdom of hell could also now be located on earth: the “evil empire” of the Soviet Union, against which His holy warriors (Afghan Mujahideen) were pitched.
