DID YOU KNOW ?????

I was sent this message in an e-mail by a friend yesterday ...and although I think I have read this before I had most definitely forgotten and was surely thankful for a refresher of this information !!

DID YOU KNOW ??? As you walk up the steps that houses the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the worlds law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view ....it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments !




DID YOU KNOW ? as you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Tem Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.



DID YOU KNOW ? as you sit in the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court Judge Sits, A display of the Ten Commandments !


DID YOU KNOW ?

There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal buildings and Monuments in Washington D.C.




DID YOU KNOW ?
James Madison, the 4th president, known as the "Father of our Constitution" made the following Statement:
"We have staked the whole of our Political Institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and off us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God"
DID YOU KNOW ?

DID YOU KNOW ?

DID YOU KNOW ?

Thomas Jefferson worried that courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law an oligarchy (the rule of few over many)



DID YOU KNOW ?
The very first Supreme Court Justice John Jay, said:

How then have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional ????
Lets put it around the world and let the world see and remember what this great Country was built on.

After reading this I was once again shocked ..at the ordacity of our government and how calloused their hearts have come. I cannot recall the exact scripture to mind ..but I do remember reading in my Bible that those in places of authority would answer to God in a higher accord. I cannot imagine what God Must think of this country now and what it has come to ..
May he have mercy on us !

  2. very good post...and so true....have you read Newt Gingrich's book, "God in America"? He does a tour of DC and shows all the scriptures throughout the capital buildings, quite a eye opener.....
