Psalm 126
When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us;
we are glad.
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in the Negeb!
5 Those who sow in tears
shall reap with shouts of joy!
6 He who goes out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home
with shouts of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
Today I spent time looking at the historical pages about life and history as Pandemics end. I never knew Napoleon worked to put slavery back into France in 1801. Plague stopped him. He was looking for unity through slavery.
Haiti 1801. From Montana State University by Dr Robert Peterson
By 1801, L'Ouverture was the de facto ruler of Haiti. Francois Dominique Toussaint L'Ouverture was born in Haiti to African slave parents in 1743. He participated in the island's slave uprising of the 1790s, and, as was common in Haiti, he switched alliances between Spain and France. French authorities promoted him to the rank of general. Through impressive strategy, he prevented a Spanish-English invasion and defended the French interests. He was rewarded by being given the titles of lieutenant governor and commander-in-chief of the Haitian forces. Late in 1801, Napoleon sent his brother-in-law, General Victor-Emmanuel LeClerc and 20,000 troops to seize the entire island and put an end to anything that would create upheaval in France.
The effect of yellow fever on the French was staggering. Only approximately 3,000 men returned to France. Although estimates vary considerably, as many as 50,000 soldiers, officers, doctors, and sailors may have died from yellow fever. Before reinforcements arrived, LeClerc's original force of 20,000 was reduced to only a few thousand.
Napoleon's largest expeditionary force was thoroughly destroyed. Bonaparte's failure to control Haiti led to his decision to sell his empire of the Mississippi Valley to the young United States for $15 million.
The end of Slavery worldwide by Wilbur Wilberforce's life work in the British Parliament led to the decline of Napoleon and the building of the USA Southern States.

The Prodigal Father ... we all want to know.
God gave the Prodigal Son's Father something modern day people can certainly understand. The Father has two sons. Not a herd, a sampling.
