Here's something nice about 4th of July
in Jerusalem. If you type Jerusalem into
your GPS, you made up in Israel. But you
could also go to Jerusalem Ohio,
Jerusalem Oraness, or even Jerusalem,
New York. There are at least 18 towns
named Jerusalem in America. Why? Let's
go to the beginning. The first American
didn't just bring guns, they bought the
Bible. Sometimes it was the only book
they had. As they move west, they named
their towns after places from the Bible.
Zion, Cananan, Salem, the shortcut of
Jerusalem, and Jerusalem. They believed
they were the new Israelis running from
kings like Pharaoh walking through the
desert looking for their own promised
land. In 1776, American soldiers wrote
on their cannon the verse from the Bible
from Exodus 14. The Lord will fight and
you shall hold your peace. For them,
freedom was not just about government
and land came from God. That's why the
liberty bell has the verse from
Leviticus. Proclaim liberty through all
land. That's why Benjamin Franklin
wanted Moses on the American Seal,
leading people out of slavery with the
word rebellions to tyrants and obedience
to God. The American dream of freedom
was a dream inspired by the Bible and Z.
Happy 4th of July. Cabless.
