Imagine if the President of the
United States outlawed your version of the Bible because he considered
it to be a threat to his rule. Imagine that he authorized a new
Government "approved" version for you to read instead. That's exactly
what happened in the tumultuous year of 1611.
King James despised the revolutionary and "seditious" Geneva Bible. He thought the Geneva Bible's
study notes on key political texts threatened his authority, so he
outlawed it and ordered a new translation of the Bible - the King James
(Authorized Version).
While the King James Version is
an excellent translation, it was edited and authorized by the
Government. The Geneva Bible was not.
It was truly a Bible by the people and for the people.
The Pilgrims brought the 1599 Geneva Bible
with them when they arrived in the New World in 1620. All but forgotten
in our day, this version of the Bible was the most widely read and
influential English Bible of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
William Bradford cited the Geneva Bible in his famous book Of Plymouth Plantation.
The Geneva Bible was and still is hated by tyrants because it's powerful message can break the chains of tyranny.
As early as 1645, groups of
colonial citizens were organized as a militia to be prepared to protect
their homeland against any threat. Inside of these citizen ranks,
special units of citizens were selected specifically for their
enthusiasm, patriotism, and political reliability. Men so selected were
designated "Minutemen." Undergoing specialized training, these Minutemen
were trained to be ready at a moment's notice to defend the life and
liberty of their community. These are men who were very likely taught
from the hearth and the pulpit the tenants of liberty found in the Geneva Bible.
Paul Revere's Ride. Concord.
Camden. Cowpens. These are only a few of the historical accounts that
highlight the Minuteman as hero. During the War for Independence, the
Minutemen fought bravely to help secure America's freedom and
independence from Britain.
The Minuteman is so unique
because these citizens were not part of a standing army. They were not
soldiers and military-minded strategists. They were everyday farmers,
printers, and merchants. They were average citizens willing to sacrifice
life and limb against those who would threaten liberty.
Today, liberal politicians are
waging a war on liberty and faith in America. Executive orders rain down
from the White House seeking to stamp out religious freedom. Today's
battle is either lost or won in the courtrooms and in mainstream media,
which often drives public opinion against Conservative values.
Where are the Minutemen today?
Are we advocating violence? No.
Rather, the battle is fought and won with the Word of God. "For the Word
of God is... sharper than any two-edged sword." (Hebrews 4:12; 1599 Geneva Bible)
Written by Sabine Baring-Gould in
1865, Onward Christian Soldiers was sung at the funeral of President
Dwight Eisenhower at the National Cathedral, Washington, DC,
March, 1969.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!
Make history, become a Minuteman
and defend Faith and Liberty while we still have a chance.

"O eternal and everlasting
God, I presume to present myself this morning before thy divine
majesty, beseeching thee to accept of my humble and hearty thanks, that
it hath pleased thy great goodness to keep and preserve me the night
past from all the dangers poor mortals are subject to, and has given me
sweet and pleasant sleep, whereby I find my body refreshed and comforted
for performing the duties of this day, in which I beseech thee to
defend me from all perils of body and soul..."
This edition also includes the
following historical documents, which are based upon Biblical
principles:
- The Magna Carta
- The Mayflower Compact
- The Declaration of Independence
- The Articles of Confederation
- The Constitution of the United States
- Amendments to the U.S. Constitution
- Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior
