They Knew They Were Pilgrims (400th Thanksgiving Celebration)

They Knew They Were Pilgrims - with hope through suffering and thankfulness to their known God.
This message marks the 400th anniversary year of the first American Thanksgiving. A brief look at the theology of America's founding and overriding presence of the God of providence, and how cultivating a heart of gratitude with thanksgiving is needed now more than ever.

    Thanking the Lord Jesus for this message, from fellow pilgrims in the Philippines. We have it tough here in the corrupt third world too, esp unvaxxed Christians with small businesses funded by bank loans. The Psalms, Hebrews, and 2 Peter are a great comfort on this short journey. Our salvation is certain, our eternity assured.

I’m happy about it now but I went to college later in life and the brainwashing had begun. It made me EXTREMELY sad! I felt guilt and shame. Thank goodness for truth. Now I can hold my head higher and be proud of those who came over and began this amazing country and I’m SO thankful I was able to celebrate back in the day when we could all be little Pilgrims or Indians. It makes me incredibly sad that it’s all being destroyed from within. Jesus COME!! I’ve GOT to get that book!!

Fortunately, I am also a descendant of several of those who were Pilgrims, because Hopkin's daughter DID marry one of them. Deacon John Dunham is also one of my ancesters, and his sons married a few of the Mayflower's daughters.

    Yes, as a Born again Christian there is nothing that comes into or touches our lives, blessing or trial, that the Lord has not either instigated (as with Job; it was God that brought up Job not Satan) or allowed (as with Peter when Christ said Satan has desired to sift you as wheat. Jesus only said I have prayed for you, not removed the trial). When we, with an honest and sincere heart, thank God for the trials as readily as the thank HIM for HIS blessings; we stay filled with peace and joy.

    Multi Millionaires are looking to escape death and live eternal. The prevailing thought is eternal life is part of man evolutionary journey. I believe to a degree, they will find it. Revelation speaks of men wanting to die and death eluding them. Anything achieved without God's principles, always has elements of corruption. I am so thankful that the perfect designer, my Father has provided eternal life. It is good, it is very good! What a privilege to be a wittness of the truth in these prophetic times. I am thankful for the hope of that final redemption and glorification called home. Maranatha!

Since he was married twice, bingo, his first wife is literally buried under the same headstone as his father with "wife of John Gates" inscribed lol. From there records are easy to find.

Luke 17: (hinted) 20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
