“… all inhabitants … are to have armes in their houses, always ready fixt for service.”
-- Massachusetts Legislature, May 29, 1644
“The necessity for a Christian people to learn the art of war rises into view …. the use of arms, kept up and understood among a Christian people is necessary and vastly important, as a restraint or check on aspiring wicked rulers …”
-- Rev. Elisha Fish, “The Art of War, Lawful & Necessary for a Christian People,” 1773
“… in the Apocalypse of St. John … there are several passages which intimate, that the saints of the Most High, will fight in their defense against their enemies …. that they shall at length, by an amazing slaughter of their persecutors, obtain for themselves the peaceable enjoyment of that liberty wherewith Christ hath made them free.”
-- Rev. Simeon Howard, “An Artillery Election Sermon,” 1773
DESCRIPTION:
One of the most controversial issues facing the United States today is the conflict over the Second Amendment. Some have argued that its purpose was only to grant the people the right to hunt, or to engage in sporting events. Yet the record of history points us to centuries before the American Revolution, and the persistent persecution of Bible believing Christians by their enemies. It was to protect themselves and their families from being slaughtered that Christians began to insist that the right to keep and bear arms become a part of common law. Formally adopted by the English Bill of Rights in 1689, the right to bear arms would be later included as part of the U.S. Constitution. The story of how it came to pass is the subject of this new dynamic Audio CD and serves as a powerful reminder to both saints and patriots in our country today.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS NEW AUDIO CD:
1) How bearing arms was originally considered a duty among Christian people.
2) The Biblical references to the responsibility of God’s people to take up arms against the wicked, and the consequences of refusing to do so, according to the Scriptures.
3) The original meaning of the Scripture: “… be sure your sin will find you out,” and how it pertains to bearing arms for the cause of God.
4) What the Puritans believed about bearing arms.
5) How the duty to bear arms, eventually became the RIGHT to bear arms.
6) The role of the Jesuits in instigating the disarmament of people they plan to victimize.
7) How the Irish Rebellion of 1641 established the pattern for disarmament and mass murder that would be repeated throughout the 20th century.
8) What the early American founders believed about the Militia as the common people, and how it was seen as a cornerstone of preserving freedom.
9) How the events surrounding the Glorious Revolution of 1688 stand as proof that bearing arms was seen as necessary to protect Christians against mass slaughter.
10) Proof that the American colonists were only defending the rule of law in their opposition to King George III and the redcoat’s attempt to disarm them, which led to the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775. Hence, the assertion that they were “rebels” is demonstrably wrong.
