The United States of Israel

Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof (Leviticus 25:10).

How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! (Numbers 24:5).
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. (Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776).

The genesis of the United States of Israel was on April 26, 1607.

The United States of Israel was born on July 4, 1776.

2 mighty rivers flowed from England . . . with the water of life . . . to water the soil of the barren, Satan controlled, New World wilderness.

The New World was Satan's stronghold for thousands of years. He was not about to surrender his domain without a terrible fight. Jesus said:

No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. (Mark 3:27).

The entire New World . . . from sea to shining sea . . . was the exclusive territory of the Evil One.

In 1607, English colonists crossed the ocean and landed in the wilderness of Virginia.

In 1620, English colonists crossed the ocean and landed in the wilderness of New England.

Satan was HORRIFIED that his territory was invaded.

Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock in New England.

Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock in New England in 1620.

The 3 English ships that landed at Jamestown contained a mixed multitude. Some, like Edward Maria Wingfield, were paid agents of Spain sent to sabotage the colony. Some wanted to get rich quick, and some wanted to preach the Gospel of Christ to the natives.

The Pilgrims that landed at Plymouth Rock saw themselves as the new Israel, sent out, like Father Abraham, to build a great Christian nation in the wilderness:

Now JEHOVAH had said unto Abram (Abraham), Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation (Hebrew: goy gadol), and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Genesis 12:1-3).

The Pilgrim Fathers had very good reason for believing this because St. Paul said:

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations (Gk: ethnos) through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations (Gk: ethnos) be blessed. (Galatians 3:8).

Here is a quote from a definitive history of New England by Cotton Mather entitled: Magnalia Christi Americana: Or, The Ecclesiastical History of New-England:

These good people were now satisfied, they had as plain a command of Heaven to attempt a removal, as ever their father Abraham had of his leaving the Chaldean territories; and it was notheing but such a satisfaction that could have carried them through such otherwise insuperable difficulties as they met withal. (Mather, Magnalia Christi Americana: Or, The Ecclesiastical History of New-England, p. 48).

The English colonists had to face a great howling wilderness made so by the legacy of the GIANTS who fled before the Old Testament Israel.

The English colonists did not have to fight giants when they landed!!

Unlike the Old Testament Israel . . . the New Testament Israel did not have to fight giants when they landed . . . because most of those monsters were extinct by that time!!

The giants that so terrified the Old Testament Israel, fled before the sword of Joshua during the Conquest of Canaan (1500 B.C.), and found a hiding place in the New World:

And they (10 spies) brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
(Numbers 13:32-33).

The giants' legacy of extreme wickedness found expression in the "Wild Indians" that inhabited the New World.

The "Wild Indians" despised manual labor and lived for 3 things: hunting, fighting, and gambling. A medicine man or witch doctor, with an hereditary chief, ran each tribe.

The giants that escaped from the sword of Joshua fled to the New World.

Their legacy of extreme wickedness found expression in the "Wild Indians" that inhabited the continent.

The hostiles—stirred up by the Jesuits—first went on the warpath in 1622, and they did not smoke the peace pipe until they were finally subdued in 1890.

Chief Sitting Bull (1831-1890).

Except in Patagonia and the Pacific Northwest, most of the giants were extinct by 1600. Here is an eyewitness report by "Buffalo Bill" Cody, who actually saw a bone of one of the giants:

While we were in the sand-hills, scouting the Niobrara country, the Pawnee Indians brought into camp, one night, some very large bones, one of which a surgeon of the expedition pronounced to be the thigh-bone of a human being. The Indians claimed that the bones they found were those of a person belonging to a race of people who a long time ago lived in this country. That there was once a race of men on the earth whose size was about three times that of an ordinary man, and they were so swift and powerful that they could run along-side of a buffalo, and taking the animal in one arm could tear off a leg and eat the meat as they walked. These giants denied the existence of a Great Spirit, and when they heard the thunder or saw the lighting they laughed at it and said that they were greater than either (Cody, Buffalo Bill's Life Story, p. 266).

Most of the bones of those giants are now hidden away in the basements of natural history museums such as the Smithsonian in Washington City.

Working through Satan's demons, the "Wild Indian" witch doctors tried to curse the Christians and prevent the establishment of the new Israel . . . at any cost:

But what a wonder was it that all the bloody savages far and near did not cut off this little remnant! If he that once muzzled the lions ready to devour the man of desires (Daniel), had not admirably, I had almost said, miraculously restrained them, these had been all devoured! but this people of God were come into a wilderness to worship Him; and so He kept their enemies from such attempts, as would otherwise have soon annihilated this poor handful of men, thus far already diminished. They saw no Indians all the winter long, but such as at the first sight always ran away; yea, they quickly found, that God had so turned the hearts of these barbarians, as more to fear, than to hate his people thus cast among them. This blessed people was as a little flock of kids, while there were many nations of Indians left still as kennels of wolves in every corner of the country. And yet the little flock suffered no damage by those rapid wolves! We may and should say, "This is the Lord's doing; 'tis marvellous in our eyes."
But among the many causes to be assigned for it, one was this. It was afterwards by them confessed, that upon the arrival of the English in these parts, the Indians employed their sorcerers, whom they call powaws, like Balaam, to curse them, and let loose their demons upon them, to shipwreck them, to distract them, to poison them, or in any way to ruin them. All the noted powaws in the country spent three days together in diabolical conjuratians, to obtain the assistance of the devils against the settlement of these our English; but the devils at length acknowledged unto them, that they could not hinder those people from their becoming the owners and masters of the country; whereupon the Indians resolved upon a good correspondence with our new-comers; and God convinced them that there was no enchantment or divination against such a people. (Mather, Magnalia Christi Americana: Or, The Ecclesiastical History of New-England, pp. 54-55).

God was with the little band of Christians and thwarted all the plans of the devil to destroy them:

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (Revelation 12:14).

Aside from the Spanish, the greatest threat to the new colonies came from the French Jesuits, who were constantly arming the "Wild Indians," and attacking the settlements. That threat ended after the Seven Years' War.

Map of the New World BEFORE the Seven Years' War began in 1756.

 

With the help of the 13 colonies, the French were evicted from the New World during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763).

This left the "Wild Indians" and the Spanish blocking their expansion to the Pacific Ocean.

George Washington actually fired the first shot of the Seven Years' War. With the removal of the French, the threat to the colonies ceased.

George Washington would later lead the 13 colonies in the War for Independence from Great Britain.

From sea to shining sea!!

The borders of the United States of Israel were determined by JEHOVAH from all eternity past. From 2 small beachheads by the eastern sea to reach the western sea or Pacific Ocean in just over 200 years is nothing short of miraculous.

The western boundary of the first colony, Virginia, was actually the South Sea or Pacific Ocean.

He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river (Hudson) unto the ends of the earth. (Psalm 72:8).

And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side. The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side. (Ezekiel 47:18-20).

The newly independent colonies were not expected to last very long. The Continental Congress had 16 Presidents before George Washington was elected in 1789.

Thomas Mifflin, Continental Congress President for only 7 months.

Thomas Mifflin, Continental Congress President for only 7 months.

 

Government of the people, by the people, and for the people was expected to be stillborn.

The infant Republic had 16 Presidents before George Washington.

President Washington refused to be a KING and refused to serve longer than 2 terms of 4 years.

 

George Washington (1732-1799). President from 1789 to 1797.

A confederation of 13 states as a republic was an experiment. Only 2 small countries were republics at that time: Heroic Holland and the Venetian Republic. Ancient Israel was a republic with their leaders chosen from the people.

500 years after the establishment of Israel at the Exodus, the people asked for a king and JEHOVAH was highly displeased with them:

I gave thee a king (Saul) in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. (Hosea 13:11).

The next big expansion toward the western sea came with the Louisiana Purchase of 1803.

The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States of Israel!!

By 1800, the infant United States Republic was struggling for survival when a golden opportunity presented itself. Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Spain and demanded that Spain hand back the Louisiana Territory to France. In October 1800, Spain signed the Treaty of San Ildefonso officially giving France title to Louisiana.

Napoleon Bonaparte had plans to reestablish the French Empire in the New World. He first needed to subdue a slave revolt in Haiti. François Dominique Toussaint L'Ouverture was the hero of the slave insurrection and thousands of French troops died trying to subdue the island.

The British were also absolutely adverse to the restoration of France's New World empire so Napoleon abandoned his plans and sold the Louisiana Territory to the United States.

There was no provision in the Constitution for acquiring new lands that were not already states, so President Jefferson took a huge gamble that Congress would approve the purchase.

In 1803, President Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from France for the sum of 15 million dollars (about 4 cents an acre).

It miraculously DOUBLED the size of the United States of Israel.

General Jackson saved the United States of Israel!!

General Jackson was God's instrument in saving the United States of Israel from a huge British invasion armada.

Spain . . . and England . . . were furious when they found out that Napoleon had sold the vast territory to the U.S. Spain could do nothing militarily, but England had the most powerful navy in the world.

In 1812, war broke out between Great Britain and the U.S. The eastern seaboard of the U.S. was invaded and Washington City was burned to the ground. This was just a diversionary tactic or feint as the main blow was aimed at NEW ORLEANS—the key to the Louisiana Territory.

General Andrew Jackson was the hero of the Battle of New Orleans.

General Jackson (1767-1845). President from 1829-1837.

By December 12, 1814, a huge British armada, under the command of Sir Alexander Cochrane, with more than 10,000 soldiers and sailors aboard had anchored in the Gulf of Mexico east of Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne.

This huge armada's mission was to seize the Louisiana Territory and hand it back to the Spanish Inquisition!!

The Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815.

The Battle of New Orleans on January 8, 1815.

The British were actually fighting for the Spanish—their deadly enemy....Here is a quote from Jackson historian Augustus C. Buell:

The British plan of subjugation was complete. Soon after the battle it was learned that General Pakenham had a proclamation written, signed and ready to be promulgated the moment his army should enter the city. This proclamation denied the right of Napoleon to sell Louisiana, denounced the pretensions of the United States to its sovereignty, declared that Spain, the rightful possessor, was incapable of maintaining her territorial rights and, finally, asserted a provisional occupation by the British forces as a virtual protectorate in behalf of the Spanish crown. The night after the battle this proclamation was burned. It may have been used to illuminate the scene where the corpse of its author was being prepared for shipment to England in a cask of rum. (Buell, History of Andrew Jackson, Vol, II, pp. 80-81).

From the tiny beachhead in 1607, God had miraculously preserved his chosen people for over 200 years.

The Mexican-U.S War of 1845

Following the example of the United States, many of the Spanish colonies in the New World declared independence from Spain. Mexico did so in 1821.

However, Mexico then laid claim to the former Spanish empire west of the Mississippi.

1822 Mexican empire.

 

When Mexico declared independence from Spain in 1821, she also laid claim to the defunct Spanish empire.

This Spanish empire was based solely on the 1493 Papal Bull of Pope Alexander VI.

That put Mexico on a collision course with the United States.

President James Knox Polk offered to BUY this territory from Mexico . . . even though their only claim to the land was the Bull of Pope Alexander VI.

The Mexican government refused to sell it to the United States . . . so war broke out in 1845.

When the Old Testament Israel was conquering their Promised Land, 7 wicked heathen nations occupied the territory. JEHOVAH told the Israelites to drive them out with the sword....Pagan historians probably accused them of STEALING the Promised Land.

However, the whole earth belongs to JEHOVAH and he gives it to whoever He wills:

Till you know (Mexico) that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. (Daniel 4:25).

When the war was over an astonished world beheld the United States as a vast continental empire of liberty and the despots of Europe trembled for their thrones.

Many of the military leaders on both sides of the U.S. Civil War had fought as junior officers in Mexico, including Ulysses S. Grant, George B. McClellan, Ambrose Burnside, Stonewall Jackson, James Longstreet, George Meade, Robert E. Lee, and the future Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

President Lincoln saved the United States of Israel

After 1848, the new Israel spanned a continent and was in possession of the best land in the world. The devil's former exclusive territory was now planted with the vine of the new Israel.

The young Republic was greater in extent than the Roman Empire at the height of its power.

It was then that the issue of slavery threatened to undo the work of God and tear the nation apart.

God is never taken by surprise and he had his man of the hour to end slavery and save the Union.

President Lincoln (1819-1865).
President from 1861 to 1865.

 

The conflict known as the "U.S." Civil War was an international plot to destroy the United States.

Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, prevented a British intervention.

Emperor Maximilian of Mexico had 30,000 French troops ready to join the South.

 

 

Maximilian of Mexico (1832-1867). Emperor from 1864 to 1867.

Maximilian of Mexico (1832-1867).

God wrought mightily through his servant Father Abraham to foil all the plots of wicked men and save the Union....From that time onward, there was no more need for standing armies . . . or for the United States to ever go to war again.

President Lincoln spoke of his assassination to French-Canadian ex-priest Charles Chiniquy:

You are not the first to warn me against the dangers of assassination. My ambassadors in Italy, France, and England, as well as Professor Morse, have many times warned me against the plots of the murderers which they have detected in those different countries. But I see no other safeguard against those murderers but to be always ready to die, as Christ advises it. As we must all die sooner or later, it makes very little difference to me whether I die from a dagger plunged through my heart or from an inflammation of the lungs. Let me tell you I have lately read a passage in the Old Testament which had made a profound, and, I hope, a salutary impression on me. Here is that passage."
The president took his Bible, opened it at the third chapter of Deuteronomy, and read from the 22nd to the 28th verse:
"Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God He shall fight for you. And I besought the Lord at that time, saying, O Lord God, Thou hast begun to shew Thy servant Thy greatness and Thy mighty hand; for what God is there, in heaven or in earth, that can do according to Thy words, and according to Thy might! I pray Thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee: speak no more unto Me of this matter. Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan."
After the President had read these words with great solemnity, he added: "My dear Father Chiniquy, let me tell you that I have read these strange and beautiful verses several times these last five or six weeks. The more I read them, the more it seems to me that God has written them for me as well as Moses. Has He not taken me from my poor log cabin by the hand, as He did Moses in the reeds of the Nile, to put me at the head of the greatest and the most blessed of modern nations, just as He put that prophet at the head of the most blessed nation of ancient times? Has not God granted me a privilege which was not granted to any living man, when I broke the fetters of 4,000,000 of men and made them free? Has not our God given me the most glorious victories over our enemies? Are not the armies of the Confederacy so reduced to a handful of men when compared to what they were two years ago, that the day is fast approaching when they will have to surrender?
"Now, I see the end of this terrible conflict, with the same joy of Moses at the end of his forty years in the wilderness. I pray my God to grant me to see the days of peace, and untold prosperity, which will follow this cruel war, as Moses asked God to see the other side of Jordan and enter the Promised Land. But do you know that I hear in my soul, as the voice of God, giving me the rebuke which was given to Moses?" (Chiniquy, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, pp. 706-707).

Abraham Lincoln was indeed a latter day Moses, as he liberated millions of slaves, and led his nation to the promised land of peace and prosperity.

Gog and Magog to invade the United States of Israel before the end of time!!

St. Paul said that ALL the events that happened in the Old Testament were written in order to instruct the Christians who lived during the last days:

Now all these things (in the Old Testament) happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. (I Corinthians 10:11).

The Old Testament book of Ezekiel describes a vast invasion of restored Israel just before the end of time.

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. (Ezekiel 38: 1-4).

This invasion was to take place during a time of peace and security:

And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. (Ezekiel 38:11-12).

Since the United States of Israel cannot be invaded by force from any country, this invasion must refer to the VAST host that is entering the U.S. through legal and ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

Immigration invasion graph.

 

Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
(Ezekiel 38:9).

 

Legal and illegal immigration chart.

According to the Vatican, EVERYBODY who came here without getting a license from Ferdinand and Isabella . . . and their successors . . . are ILLEGAL immigrants.

Since 1970, at least 40 million Mexicans have entered the U.S. Most of them want to reclaim lands that they say the U.S. "STOLE" from them after the Mexican-U.S. War.

Immigration to the U.S. is also greatly facilitated by the Pentagon whose wars cause a vast number of refugees from foreign countries to seek asylum in the United States!.

The invasion turns out to be a disaster as Christ's Second Coming puts and end to all attempts to destroy the Israel of God:

And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. (Ezekiel 38:21-22).

And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. (Revelation 16:21).

The Bible is the Sword of the Spirit

JEHOVAH said that HE would be the defense of the United States of Israel . . . so what need then for the Pentagon:

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.(Psalm 121:4).

The Bible is the Sword of the Spirit and the ONLY weapon we need to be victorious over all of Satan's last days' lies:. St. Paul said:

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).

The Bible was written in Hebrew and Greek, and without correct translations, Satan can build false interpretations of Scripture.

The Sword of the Spirit.

The Sword of the Spirit.

 

The Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. (Eph. 6:17).

False doctrines, erroneous translation of words, and erroneous interpretations can turn our sharp sword into a BUTTER KNIFE!

 

The Word is our sword.

The Word is our sword.

False teachings can be deadly and nullify the power of the Word of God..... One of the greatest Latin Church errors is the myth of St. Peter at Rome.

Another grave error is the myth that God's "chosen people" are a bunch of Christ-denying Khazars in the Mideast.

The New Testament says NOTHING about "Jews" setting up a homeland in Palestine before the end of time. As a matter of fact, Jesus said that Jerusalem would be trodden down by the NATIONS until the end of the world:

And they (Jews) shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the NATIONS, until the times of the NATIONS be fulfilled. (Luke 21:24).

There is no such word as GENTILE in the Hebrew or Greek Bible... Gentile comes from the Latin GENS meaning a Roman family or tribe....That word found its way into the English, French, and Spanish Bibles by way of the corrupt Latin Vulgate version.

The Hebrew word for nation is goy (plural goyim). The Greek word for nations is ETHNOS and is wrongly translated as Gentiles in the English New Testament.

In the Old Testament, there are many prophecies of a Messiah who would be a descendent of King David, and who would reign over the House of Israel forever:

And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.(II Samuel 7:12-13).

JEHOVAH hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. (Psalm 132:11).

According to St. Peter, all the prophecies about the Messiah reigning from the throne of David were fulfilled by the RESURRECTION of Christ from the dead and His exaltation to the throne of the UNIVERSE!!

Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell (Hades), neither his flesh did see corruption.

This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
(Acts 2:29-33).

In the Book of Malachi, JEHOVAH promised to send Elijah the Prophet before the coming of the Messiah:

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of JEHOVAH: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. (Malachi 4:5-6).

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?

And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things:
but I say into you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them.
Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. (Matthew 17:10-10.)

John the Baptist was not Elijah . . . but he came in the spirit and power of Elijah . . . and thus fulfilled that prophecy perfectly.

The Jews were looking for a reincarnated Elijah . . . so their carnal misinterpretation of Scripture . . . caused them to reject the true Messiah!

Jesus the Son of God told the Jews that they would have to eat his flesh and drink his blood:

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. (John 6:53).

Right away the Jews interpreted his words in a CARNAL EARTHLY sense . . . and stopped following Him . . . because they thought that he was talking about the literal eating of flesh or CANNABALISM!

When the unbelieving Jews were gone, Jesus explained His true meaning to his disciples:

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63).

St. Paul also summed up the whole principle of sound Biblical hermeneutics when he said:

Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual. (I Corinthians 15:46).
