All
I originally asked this question back channel but the recipient has decided
to do a bunk (no prizes for guessing who <g>); so I will deliver the
question to a wider audience. I have just read one of the posts about the
signatories to the Declaration of Independence extolling the virtues of the
men who signed it. As history is always written by the victors it is
understandable that they are seen as heroes. If we, the British, had
regained control of the colonies they would have gone down in history as
foul rebels who got what they deserved. Don't forget that one man's freedom
fighter is another man's terrorist.
However, that is all water under the bridge. The point which struck me is
the predictability of secular government. The message talks about the
sacrifices made by these men and their families. If I read the message
correctly some of them survived the War of Independence. There is no mention
of restoration nor recompense from a grateful government or nation. So who
exactly did their sacrifices benefit?
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sons of men but in Him who reigns
for evermore.
BoW.
