A newly discovered letter from George Washington to his wife shatters a liberal narrative about his religious views.
A newly discovered letter from George Washington to his wife shatters a liberal narrative and decisively refutes liberal historians’ interpretations of Washington’s religious views and sheds new light on the first president’s conception of modern foreign policy and the end time, say researchers at Beth-Aven Christian College in Crimea River, Pennsylvania.
The letter was found last month in a landfill just outside nearby Valley Forge and appears to have been written while Washington and his army were quartered in the area during the infamously bitter winter of 1777-78. Whether it was lost by a courier or never sent remains unclear, according to Hamilton Bledsoe, professor of sacred history at Beth-Aven.
“This document totally, massively obliterates and eviscerates and shuts down and calls out and destroys the liberal narrative about the father of our country being some sort of deist or heathen,” Bledsoe said. “Right here we have the man who presided at the Constitutional convention saying to his wife, and I quote, ‘Good Lord, Martha, it’s cold here. I long for the day when the olive branch will prosper and we shall see the cessation of all war.’”
Bledsoe said the meaning of the passage was unambiguous:
“This is perhaps the greatest man among our Founding Fathers, praising the goodness of our Savior even in the midst of extreme privation and military disappointment, surely knowing that for Americans all military disappointment is inevitably temporary.” Bledsoe said. “And despite the weighty responsibilities of daily life, he looks ahead to the establishment of the nation-state of Israel and the coming of the Kingdom of God. This is a crystal-clear endorsement of America as a Christian nation and of the one-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
Handwriting analysis was the decisive factor in authenticating the letter, Bledsoe said.
“When I was a kid in church, I was taught that handwriting analysis was un-Christian and related to the occult,” Bledsoe said, “but if unspeakable vermin like the FBI are going to have access to such tools, we prayerfully choose to turn them around and re-purpose them for the glory of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Gottlieb Kinderspiel, 68, of Biliousburg, discovered the letter while exploring the landfill with his metal detector.
“There it was, stuck by a piece of bubble gum to an old Hot Wheels car. That’s what set off my metal detector,” Kinderspiel said, adding that the Hot Wheels car was “badly rusted, but the paint scheme had a patriotic theme.”
Also stuck to the bubble gum was a fragment from a baseball card.
“I couldn’t make out a face or read anything on the back, but it clearly was a Mets uniform with the number 15,” Kinderspiel said. “I know in my heart it’s Tim Tebow, and that seals the deal for me. Sure, some liberal is going to say it was Al Jackson or Jerry Grote or Claudell Washington or Ron Darling or Kevin Elster or Carlos Beltran or somebody, but that’s not how God works. Anybody who says different is welcome to take it up with Dan Bongino.”
Beth-Aven did not offer Kinderspiel a reward for the discovery, because “[w]e don’t think it’s Christian to reward people for doing what they ought to do anyway,” Bledsoe said.
Kinderspiel insisted that there were no hard feelings.
“Anything that helps Brother Netanyahu bring in the Kingdom is reward enough for me,” Kinderspiel said.
Bledsoe said he could only speculate about whether the letter had gone unsent or been lost in transit, but that he suspected the former.
“The letter contains a rueful admission that the general had lost money playing cards, something he probably thought better about sharing with Martha,” Bledsoe said. “Of course there’s little doubt that he and his officers were playing Go Fish, with the proceeds going to charity. Such a scenario is the only one in keeping with what we know about the character of this towering giant of the Church and staunch friend of Israel.”
Bledsoe said the letter will go on display next week in a bulletproof glass case in the college chapel, under 24-hour guard by the college’s ROTC contingent “to protect it from the FBI and that bunch of Jezebels on The View.”
