This man supported his troops out of his own pocket when the Continental Congress ceased sending the soldiers supplies and salaries.  This type of commitment reflects the scripture "go and sell all that you have and follow Me".  A man should put it all on the line for his God and his calling.  Remember that to whom much is given, much is required, and from whom much is required much will be given.

The Revolutionary War was one that, according to logistics, should never have been won by the colonies.  If you read histories and diaries reporting the miracles that occurred to give the colonies victory in this war, it is easy to correlate ,such as miracles to the deliverance of Israel in the old testament.

Prior to the Revolutionary War, Washington had been involved in the French and Indian War.  After these wars, a band of Indians, with an interpreter, summoned Washington to a council fire and the chief related the following-. (quoted from George Washington, the Christian, by William Johnson, pages 41, 42) "I am a chief and ruler over my tribes.  My influence extends to the waters of the great  lakes, and to the far blue mountains.  I have traveled a long and weary path, that I might see the young warrior of the great battle.  It was on the day when the white man's blood mixed with the streams of our forest, that I first beheld this chief.  I called to my young men and said "Mark yon tall and daring warrior? He is not of the red-coat tribe - he hath an Indian's wisdom, and his warriors fight as we do - himself alone is exposed.  Quick let your aim be certain, and he dies." Our rifles were leveled, rifles which, but for him, knew not how to miss...'Twas all in vain-, a power mightier far than we shielded him from harm.  He cannot die in battle.  I am old, and soon shall be gathered to the great council fire of my fathers in the land of shades, but ere I go, there is something that bids me speak in the voice of prophecy, Listen! The Great Spirit protects that man, and guides his destinies - he will become the chief of nations, and a people yet unborn will hail him as the founder of a mighty empire.'

Over 200 years later we see that the prophesies of the chief were correct.  If our Father showed ancient leaders the future of their nations, is it reasonable to assume that He has shown it to others more recently?

The following account was relayed to Washington's confidantes and soldiers numerous times throughout the remaining twenty two years of his life. Various accounts were recorded, which agree in content with only minor variations.  May the Holy Spirit confirm the following that you may know the truth,

Valley forge, Winter 1777, The soldiers were hungry, cold, some were dying from exposure, and disease.  They were clearly loosing and many were ready to surrender.  Anthony Sherman, a soldier there recorded the following,  "One day, I remember it well, when the chilly winds whistled through the leafless trees, though the sky was cloudless and the sun shown brightly, he remained in his quarters nearly all the afternoon alone.  When he came out, I noticed that his face was a shade paler than usual.  There seemed to be something on his mind of more than ordinary importance.  Returning just after dusk, he dispatched an orderly to the quarters of the officer I mentioned, who was present in attendance.  After a preliminary conversation of about a half hour, Washington, gazing upon his companion with that strange look of dignity which he alone commanded, related the event that occurred that day."

THE VISION ACCORDING TO GEORGE WASHINGTON

"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 1, 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 top 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, vacantly at my companion.

"Presently I heard a voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn,' while at the same time my visitor extender 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, 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 and 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 form 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 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 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 saw a 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.  Through out 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 the 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 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 , and 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 a 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 was blazoned the word 'Union,' he placed it upon the Standard while the people, kneeling down, said, 'Amen.'

"The scene instantly began to fade 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 I had seen a vision wherein had been shown to me the birth, progress, and destiny of the United States.  "

I invite you in your own time to ponder what you have just read and ask our Father in the name of Jesus Christ if it is true.  Without direct confirmation, this is nothing more than letters on a page.  As the founders of our country and constitution acted on direct orders from our Father, so will the defenders have to do likewise in the very near future.

On behalf of our Father and Jesus Christ, I offer you the following considerations'.  Does a blood bath await this country? Are we about to experience the worst conditions the world has ever seen? Will America hold out against the New World Order, and when as the last free nation standing be militarily invaded in an attempt to force her into the global government?

You will have to get your own answers through prayer, and when you do you can then ponder and take hope in the following-.  This will be the Holy War of Holy Wars, and in the end we will by the grace and hand of God be victorious.  As to how to prepare, we must take the same approach (from our knees) as did The Son of the Republic.
