In Hosea 4:6 of God’s holy scriptures, He tells the people of Israel that they are “destroyed for lack of knowledge,” indicating both the priesthood and the people have forgotten His law. America’s decline from the greatest national power has followed a similar path, forgetting His eternal truth: “Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” As God accused Israel they had forgotten His laws, as a nation we have forgotten God. Decades of “educational establishment” governmental bias teaching youth they have descended from apes while steadily decreasing the teaching of the eternal Godly wisdom poured into the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. This purposeful shift in focus has prepared our nations for destruction.

Erwin Lutzer’s book: “Tyranny: When A Nation Forgets God” describes this downward plunge followed in Nazi Germany. The most educated people fell for Hitler’s policies of ruling by “edict.“ Similarly, too many Americans are “without knowledge” of God’s eternal wisdom in our nation’s birthing documents, surrendering their Bill of Rights to Executive Orders. These Godly inherent rights secured to limit our government with the words, “Congress shall make no law…,” must remain supreme that freedom shall not perish.
Our American Republic was built by a courageous and God-fearing people. They challenged the greatest military power of that day with their foundational reason to declare their independence: “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government….” The domination of fake news in the COVID-19 scare played on our people’s fears. Many forgetting God is the reason for our liberty. Instead of challenging the lie that authorized the dethroning of the Bill of Rights with their “edict, they followed the will of tyrants. Thus, the Godly limitation on government secured to prevent violation of inherent rights was ignored with the tyrannical words: “except in an emergency.”
Today, because a dominant educational establishment teaches our children that God does not exist and government has the solution for everything, we inherit Lincoln’s prophetic words, “ that the philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.” The John Birch Society, since 1958, has been teaching the philosophy of Americanism. Take heed of Thomas Jefferson’s eternal wisdom: “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be….” Americans who feel our educational system has failed to prepare them to preserve liberty should contact Matthew Rhodes, JBS Regional Coordinator, for further info at mrhodes@jbs.org about the Constitutional Seminar, “THE CONSTITUTION IS THE SOLUTION.”
