GEORGE WASHINGTON'S VISION

The place was Valley Forge in the winter of 1777, shortly after

the signing of the "Declaration of Independence" the American

forces (greatly outnumbered) were fighting a against the British

(the most powerful nation in the world). Some believe that only

3% of the American people took part in the struggle for

independence, and many aided the British cause by giving them

housing etc. Prevalent in the hearts and minds of the American

people, was apathy, self-interests, uncertainty, and fear. It is

well known that George Washington was a man of prayer and great

courage as he would ride and lead his own troops into battle.

George Washinton's vision is recorded at the Library of Congress

THE WORDS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON (THE FATHER OF AMERICA)

"This afternoon, as I was sitting at this table engaged in

preparing a dispatch, something seemed to disturb me. Looking

up, I beheld standing opposite me a singularly beautiful female.

So astonished was I, for I had given strict orders not to be

disturbed, that it was some moments before I found language to

inquire the cause of her presence. A second, a third and even a

fourth time did I repeat my question, but received no answer from

my mysterious visitor except a slight raising of her eyes.

"By this time I felt strange sensations spreading through

me. I would have risen but the riveted gaze of the being before

me rendered volition impossible. I assayed once more to address

her, but my tongue had become useless, as though it had become

paralyzed.

"A new influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took

possession of me. All I could do was to gaze steadily, vacantly

at my unknown visitor, Gradually the surrounding atmosphere

seemed as if it had become filled with sensations, and luminous.

Everything about me seemed to rarify, the mysterious visitor

herself becoming more airy and yet more distinct to my sight than

before. I now began to feel as one dying, or rather to

experience the sensations which I have sometimes imagined

accompany dissolution. I did not think, I did not reason, I did

not move; all were alike impossible. I was only conscious of

gazing fixedly, vacantly at my companion.

"Presently I heard a voice saying, `Son of the Republic,

look and learn,' while at the same time my visitor extended her

arm eastwardly. I now beheld a heavy white vapor at some

distance rising fold upon fold. This gradually dissipated, and I

looked upon a strange scene. Before me lay spread out in one

vast plain all the countries of the world; Europe, Asia, Africa

and America. I saw rolling and tossing between Europe and

America the billows of the Atlantic, and between Asia and America

lay the Pacific.

" `Son of the Republic' said the same mysterious voice as

before, `look and learn,' At that moment I beheld a dark,

shadowy being, like an angel, standing, or rather floating in

mid-air, between Europe and America. Dipping water out of the

ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some upon America

with his right hand, while with his left hand he cast some on

Europe. Immediately a cloud raised from these countries, and

joined in mid-ocean. For a while it remained stationary, and

then moved slowly westward, until it enveloped America in its

murky folds. Sharp flashes of lightning gleamed through it at

intervals, and I heard the smothered groans and cries of the

American people.

"A second time the angel dipped water from the ocean, and

sprinkled it out as before. The dark cloud was then drawn back

to the ocean, in whose heaving billows it sank from view. A

third time I heard the mysterious voice saying, `Son of the

Republic, look and learn,' I cast my eyes upon America and beheld

villages and towns and cities springing up one after another

until the whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific was dotted

with them.

Again, I heard the mysterious voice say, `Son of the

Republic, the end of the century cometh, look and learn.' At

this the dark shadowy angel turned his face southward, and from

Africa I saw an ill-omened spectre approach our land. It flitted

slowly over every town and city of the latter. The inhabitants

presently set themselves in battle array against each other. As

I continued looking I a saw bright angel, on whose brow rested a

crown of light, on which was traced the word `Union,' bearing the

American flag which he placed between the divided nation, and

said, `Remember ye are brethren.' Instantly, the inhabitants,

casting from them their weapons became friends once more, and

united around the National Standard.

"And again I heard the mysterious voice saying, `Son of the

Republic, look and learn.' At this the dark, shadowy angel

placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts;

and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe,

Asia and Africa. Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene: from each

of these countries arose thick, black clouds that were soon

joined into one. Throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red

light by which I saw hordes of armed men, who, moving with the

cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America. Our country

was enveloped in this volume of cloud, and I saw these vast

armies devastate the whole country and burn the villages, towns

and cities that I beheld springing up. As my ears listened to

the thundering of the cannon, clashing of swords, and the shouts

and cries of millions in mortal combat, I heard again the

mysterious voice saying, `Son of the Republic, look and learn.'

When the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his

trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful

blast.

"Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from

above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud

which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose

head still shone the word Union, and who bore our national flag

in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens

attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined

the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were well nigh

overcome, but who immediately taking courage again, closed up

their broken ranks and renewed the battle.

"Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the

mysterious voice saying, `Son of the Republic, look and learn.'

As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped

water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly

the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had

brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious!

"Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities

springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright

angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of

them, cried with o loud voice" `While the stars remain, and the

heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union

last.' And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the

word `UNION,' he placed it upon the Standard while the people,

kneeling down, said, `Amen.'

"The scene instantly began to fad and dissolve, and I at

last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld.

This also disappearing, I found myself once more gazing upon the

mysterious visitor, who, in the same voice I had heard before,

said, `Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus

interpreted: three great perils will come upon the Republic. The

most fearful is the third, but in this greatest conflict the

whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every

child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and the

Union. With these words the vision vanished, and I started from

my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown

to me the birth, progress and destiny of the United States."

COMMENTARY

Anyone familiar with the Bible and how God communicates with

his people knows that visions are experienced by people who have

faith. Consider Daniel and Paul and others.

It is my opinion that God wants His people to know what is about to

happen.

Since the conclusion of World War II the world has seen the

increase of communism. Obviously "red" in this vision refers to

communism. Although we have seen wars in other parts of the

world our country has not had a war on it since the civil war

which is also mentioned in the vision.

Lenin said years ago: "First we will take Russia, next we

will capture the nations of eastern Europe, then we will take the

masses of Asia. Finally, we will surround the United States and

that last bastion of freedom will fall into our hands like over-

ripe fruit."
