Even the food rations of the King of Judea and his sons, in captivity.
Daniel 1:8
And God gave
Daniel favor and compassion
in the sight of the chief
By the time God was giving Daniel such mercy and beautiful gifts, Daniel had walked 900 ancient miles from Jerusalem to Babylon. Hard core miles as a slave from a ruined Jerusalem.
Did Jesus know America existed? Can we prove this specifically, other than Jesus is the Son of the Most High, Light of the light, Light of the world since Genesis 1?
Matthew 4
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain
and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you,
if.... you will fall down.....
and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,
“‘You shall Worship the Lord your God
and Him only shall you serve.’”
Is there vague reference to the New World of the North American Continent? Yes. The USA is victor in two World Wars.
Isaiah 18: 7
At that time tribute will be brought to the LORD of Hosts
from a people tall and smooth,
from a people feared near and far,
a nation mighty and conquering,
whose land the rivers divide,
to Mount Zion,
the place of the Name of the LORD of Hosts.
Rivers?
The Mississippi River. And the Columbia and Colorado rivers flow west to the Pacific Ocean, while the Missouri River, the Mississippi River, and the Rio Grande flow east from the Divide to the Atlantic Ocean. The Saint Lawrence River Divide is a continental divide in central and eastern North America that separates the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin from the southerly Atlantic Ocean watersheds.
U.S. President Harry Truman was the first world leader to officially recognize Israel as a legitimate Jewish state on May 14, 1948
On December 6, 2017, President Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and stated that the American embassy would be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
President Donald Trump has brokered a peace agreement between Sudan and Israel – the third such agreement between Israel and an Arab-Muslim nation in less than three months. Today, Israel and Sudan have agreed to make peace and to normalize their relations in another landmark agreement brokered by President Trump. Oct 23, 2020
Was the Lord our God pleased when The Declaration of Independence was signed, when James Madison wrote The Federalist Papers and the Bill of Rights?
July 4th, 1776
1609-1776 There was no religious freedom in the colonies of England. Quakers and Baptists were often forced to pay higher taxes or were banished. New England residents who failed to attend worship services on Sunday morning and afternoon were fined or put into stocks. Failing to glorify God for all his good gifts was a sacrilege.
1609 A.D., Jamestown ended in cannibalism. We never suffer much over the minors and young people, primarily from Great Britain, who made up of most of the people on the ships coming to the colonies of England. But the indentured servants' bones show they had their shoulders worn away with work. Wretched. Young teens, many. White Slavery.
And this is where the cannibalism started - the indentured servants buried not in the graveyard. Between one-half and two-thirds of white immigrants to the American colonies between the 1630s and the American Revolution had come under indentured servitude. About 75% were under the age of 25.
The truth is a certain small part, some estimate up to 33%, of the white colonial population of America was brought by force, and a much larger portion came in response to deceit and misrepresentation on the part of the recruiting agents. Kidnapping is recorded and falls clearly into the category of "white slavery."
The beginnings of the indentured servants were the first died. All of them. As more died, they left shelter and supplies for the next batch to survive. White slavery. Who was part of this? Benjamin Franklin, one of the younger children, his parents had 17 children. Benjamin Franklin was smart, smart to run from being unfed and worked to death.
How many died? Half a million or more indentured servants? At least a third.
Are 500,000 deaths important by 1776? The population of The United States of America July 4, 1776 was 2.5 million. Yes, this is supremely significant.
We will never know the exact count of slave deaths in the USA from 1609 to 1865. Those lives, the harsh cruelty we know did occur, said those lives did not matter. And this is part of the human condition, Genesis, the first Book of the Bible, mentions slaves in Chapter 20. The child labeled as, 'extra or unneeded.' We hope to outlive unwanted pregnancies and human death in all ages of heart beat life, by oppression. Good hearts making better choices.
Does this negate the importance of Martin Luther King, Jr. telling ALL of us to live His Dream?
No, instead, let us remember oppression from one another and families selling each other into oblivion, as Joseph was. Remember the Brave, who have fought to give us Freedom. 620,000 Americans (1861-1865) died, establishing a human being is not property. All of God's mankind deserving all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.
Psalm 133
Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil on the head,
running down on the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down on the collar of his robes!
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,
Life
forevermore
In 1807, British William Wilberforce, UK House of Commons, made carrying any color slaves across the ocean, worthy of loss of cargo, mankind, and the vessel, the ship itself.
Is the Lord our God pleased when The Declaration of Independence was signed,
when James Madison wrote The Federalist Papers, The Bill of Rights?
Never forget, in World History, no nation is formed without war. All have fallen short of the Goodness of God and are sinners. To call our history so biased is a lie. Live the Truth.
Is God pleased
when America was created by The Declaration of Independence?
Isaiah 18: 7
At that time tribute
will be brought to the LORD of Hosts
from a people tall and smooth,
from a people feared near and far,
a nation mighty and conquering,
whose land the rivers divide,
to Mount Zion,
the place of the Name of the LORD of Hosts.
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

Genesis 1:26
