One in the grip of oppression I fought for my liberty I've paid with the blood of my people Freedom has never been free Now my door's always open To dreamers and prayers But when I'm a child I protect and deepen Because my name is America Hello everyone and welcome! This is Karen Schoen You're listening to the Prison of America's Education brought to you on the AmericaOut Loud.News Network Folks, I don't know about you but I have been very confused again As I am watching these no kings rallies when we don't have a king So what king could they possibly be talking about
And then when you listen to these people they have no clue as to what they're even doing there So this whole thing makes no sense to me And of course when something like that magnitude makes no sense I like to ask my expert And that would be Alex Newman who is phenomenal at explaining all of these phenomenons That seem to be going on in America And all they're really doing as far as I'm concerned is dividing the country It doesn't seem that they want to do anything else Anyway, Alex, welcome and thank you so much for joining me This is fabulous, I love to listen to your commentaries I love to read them and folks you really need to go to the LibertySenteno.org And sign up and get Alex's newsletters and his videos they are fantastic Oh, thank you so much Karen for that kind introduction It's an honor to be with you Alex, what is this no kings rally all about
And how can we be yelling about no kings? What king are they talking about? Well clearly every day in America is no kings day We literally fought a war for independence to separate ourselves from the king of England And of course they didn't seem to really mind a very very power-hungry executive branch When it was in the hands of Joe Biden or Barack Obama or even the Bushes and the Clintons So forgive me if I'm not overly convinced that they're really concerned about an alleged king in America But the real issue here is the money When you follow the money what you'll find is unbelievable That's hundreds of millions of dollars if not more Coming from all the usual suspects, the Warren Buffets and the Bill Gates and the George Soros All the usual suspects that have been promoting this really subversive agenda for so long now Do they really believe that there's no king in Saudi Arabia?
That's not the kind of king they mind, right? As long as you're that kind of king, it's okay but if you're the kind of king who maybe wants to do certain good things for America then you're in trouble But I've got some of the funding here, $79 million from the Arabella Foundation $16 million from Warren Buffett, $51 million from the Ford Foundation, $26 million from Rockefeller $45 million from the Tides Foundation which kind of launders the money for all these globalist big government liberal billionaires So this is not an organic movement, right? They're getting talking points, they're being used as useful idiots And of course the purpose is not to prevent the emergence of a king in America, the purpose is to undermine our country And again this always makes me just I mean I can't understand it because had they realized that if they made America successful they'd be more successful But they don't want that, they just want the people down and they're not interested in anything else I guess except garnishing power for themselves
And it seems as though the whole purpose of this is the great divide to divide the people into little factions So that they have no idea what's going on and we wind up hating each other instead of hating an enemy Alex, what is this color revolution? What does that mean? And we know that it was started by the CIA by bringing it to America, what is that all about? So color revolution is a strategy that was developed by the intelligence community for overthrowing government sign We've seen it all over the world, we saw it in North Africa, we saw it in the Middle East, we saw it in Eastern Europe, we've seen orange revolution, purple revolution, Arab spring, all the rest of it And none of this stuff has been organic, this stuff has been developed by subversives at the Central Intelligence Agency, by subversives at the US State Department And they have perfected the art of overthrowing governments, they've been doing it for decades And for a long time it was usually Washington DC doing this in other countries
And so Americans weren't really all that bothered by it, people didn't really think about it or care about it or understand it It was just the US government doing what the US government does But what has happened since about 2016 is a lot of these same color revolutionaries when they realized that they weren't going to control the levers of power anymore Started figuring out how to deploy those tactics here And I believe the No Kings movement is a big part of this, right? They want to bring about a regime change situation in America And I think a lot of people just mistake this as being about Trump, well they just hate Trump, they have Trump derangement syndrome Trump is not the issue, so to speak What they really want to overthrow here is not any particular individual, not any particular politician They want to overthrow the constitutional republic, the system of government that our forefathers left to us And in many cases fought and died for it And that's the real danger If you look, a lot of people in Trump's administration have understood this If you go back to 2017, Rich Higgins, who was the director of policy in planning on the National Security Council, did a brilliant memo
You can find it, it's called the Higgins memo, where he said that there's now a global alliance Very much including domestic subversives, that includes jihadists, and globalists, and socialists, and communists, and all the rest of them And that their objective is to destroy the United States of America, not just as a nation, but even as an ideal And I think that's what's going on with the color revolution here They're trying to discredit the United States as a nation, they're trying to discredit our institutions And unfortunately they've been very effective, especially as you know, Karen, by indoctrinating the younger generations So that they don't know anything about the true history of the United States You wrote a fabulous book called indoctrinating our children to death Would you like to talk for a couple of minutes about that? Because as a former teacher, I couldn't agree more, our kids are learning nothing Well, I shouldn't say they're not learning nothing, that's not true They're learning how to be good little communists And I just read in my teacher's magazine, Mice It, from New York State Teachers Association
that they will now have classes on politics, teaching kids how to be activists This is not the job of a school So the kids can't read, they can't write, they can't do math They have no idea what our history is, but they're going to go out and fight for question mark, something And it's exactly what's happening in the government school system They are literally training the children to be good little revolutionaries They're training them to burn down the system of government that we have inherited And replace it with, you know, they don't really understand what, something that has more fairness and more equality And more LGBT climate change, whatever, they know the talking points But we need to understand how dangerous this is I would argue that the government school system is really the primary mechanism that these evil doers are using to bring down our country And if we don't get a handle on this, there won't be any possibility of recovering
So I've done three out of the eight books that I've written three deal exclusively with education I did a woken weaponized, this just came out a few weeks ago with Robert Bortons, the CEO of classical conversations We explain how Karl Marx won the battle for American education and how we can take it back Before that, I did indoctrinating our children to death That book really delves into the history of how we got here It's been endorsed by great Americans like Pete Hagset and General Michael Flynn and others And then before that, I did Crimes of the Educators with Dr. Sam Blumfeld Which was endorsed by Phyllis Schlaffley and Congressman Ron Paul and a lot of other great Americans And the reason I spend so much time on education, Karen, and you do as well is because we both understand that this is the issue That's going to determine the outcome of all the other issues If they capture the hearts and minds of the next generation, all of the political efforts and the other initiatives that we undertake are going to come to nothing Because they've got the next generation Yes, and folks, just because your legislature makes a rule that says you can't do this, you can't do that
Doesn't mean that they are not doing it And that's exactly what's happening In Florida, for example, the governor of DeSantis said no sharia, care, and Muslim brotherhood are terrorist organizations Then what happened the next day, the next week, all of a sudden, care is having an event in the Capitol How is that possible? And that's possible, I believe, Alex, because we're not paying attention And we are not conducting oversight and we are not asking our legislators the right questions when we elect them We go for the pretty face, we go for the guy who looks nice, who sounds good, and we don't pay attention to what he's actually saying We never look up to see what he has done in before And this is a big problem, and that filters to the schools, doesn't it? I mean, the school boards, we can span this book and that book They can't even put in a book that says a baby is a baby
You have to think that it is a development of cells that are meaningless, so go have an abortion When we tried to pass a bill that said you have to teach all about the fetus and how it becomes a baby And teach true hygiene and the way that the impregnation actually works, they wouldn't vote for it So what is going on in the schools, Alex? Well, they're dumbing down the population, and that's indisputable That would be the government itself kind of brags about it, they do the natural assessment of educational progress every few years And they'll openly tell you less than one in three victims of these schools are even proficient in any core subject That includes reading, writing, math, science, history, suffix, etc. But they are, they're not even so much indoctrinating them anymore as they are conditioning them I encourage you to remember what Pavlov did with the dogs, if he got ski worked on these kinds of experiments before him
It was basically conditioning, where they're conditioning a particular emotional response to a given stimuli And we have seen this now, I mean we all have the crazy relative that comes to Thanksgiving in the moment It says the word Trump, they freak out and start screaming or somebody says the word border wall These are emotional trigger words that have been basically through this process of conditioning instilled in the minds of these individuals So that they will have an utterly illogical, utterly unreasonable response And that's why people struggle to understand what to do about this You can give all the information and the facts and the evidence in the world and it doesn't seem to make any difference They're still streaking and they're still turning red and hollering and stamping up and down That's because we're not dealing with something that was instilled in them through logic, reason, evidence, critical thinking It was all done through behavioral conditioning
And now with the emergence of AI, this is going to get even worse Yes, I agree with you And let's remember Skinner's black box My dear friend Charlotte Iserby used to say that's your computer And that's what it's going to do to people And Skinner and Pavlov, they laid out the whole plan and we're not paying attention to it And she spent so much time trying to explain what was going on and again My generation, I am sad to say of baby boomers just decided we're not paying attention anymore And that to me is the biggest problem that we have Because we are the generation that remembers the way it used to be The way people behave, the way people reacted, the love of country, the love of... That's why Trump, who is my age in that age bracket, goes through what he's going through because he remembers
I remember and I always think of how sad it is that our children today have absolutely no clue of the way things used to be Which really was a good idea Because it gave you a sounding place, it gave you the ability to choose something to make a wise decision by having the knowledge And we are not passing that on We hear a lot of Alex about this deep state, is that what is really going on? Are they the ones who are these people? And are they the ones that are responsible for this? Yeah, in a very serious way, yes Deep state is a term that's entered the popular lexicon in recent years And the mainstream media likes to dismiss concerns about it as if they were conspiratorial or something But we really do have a deep state and I would even argue a deep state behind the deep state I did a special report in the New American magazine some years ago that we turned into a book
I'm about to release the second edition on this So there are all kinds of secretive and even secret organizations that are deeply involved in pushing America toward this revolutionary state that are involved in indoctrinating our children In fact, you mentioned Charlotte Isorby, her dad and her grandpa were both members of a secret society called the Scullin Bones It's a secret group at Yale, Bush was both Bush's were members, John Kerry's a member just to give people a sense of how powerful And the historian Anthony Sutton who was a friend of Charlotte gave Anthony all of her dads and her grandpa's documents about Scullin Bones when they passed away And he ended up writing a book called America's Secret Establishment in Introduction to the Order of Scullin Bones And what he shows is he's got a whole chapter in this book that actually some people have published as a standalone book Where he shows that Scullin Bones has made it a top priority to hijack the American educational system So people don't like to realize that there are forces in the shadows that are working to destroy our country, take away our liberty, brainwash our children, but they're absolutely are, it's provable, it's well documented, it's easy to show
And the only reason people haven't heard about it is because the deep state media continues to lie about it Yes, and that is a big problem because anybody that just spends their time listening to the mainstream media You only get one side of an issue, you never get the other side, you never get the what if you never get the why, you never get any of those questions Because they are given their talking points and they go out and use their talking points and then there is nothing behind it So we the people have no frame of reference unless you explore and unless you go after And unfortunately, like I said originally, I believe that this is a large fault of the baby boomers who have taken, who have not become responsible anymore for what America was about We were supposed to be passing along our information to our youngers so that they would know and by eliminating history and eliminating what America is all about, we have stopped
And that stopping has allowed somebody else to pick up the void because a void will always be filled and it will be filled by good or evil And I think right now it's being filled by evil Nothing is more evident than what I mean you wrote an article and you actually did a video on is the government trying to kill Americans? What did you find Alex? The answer is unequivocally yes, the government is trying to kill Americans and they are doing it and they are doing it legally and they're doing it blatantly And it's happening in a whole bunch of different ways but the healthcare system unfortunately is one of the really, really dangerous areas We started with an interview with a guy called Scott Sharrah, his daughter had Down syndrome and she ended up in the hospital during COVID Unfortunately, when she got in there they put an illegal do not resuscitate order on her, they gave her massive doses of opiates and benzodiazepines
Anybody will tell you that that is highly inappropriate, they're contraindicated and of course here we are We've got huge numbers of people who have passed away as a result of these COVID policies and that's just the start of it You've got the US government funding a global war on farmers, you've got all these illegal wars that the government has been waging for so many decades Not everywhere you look, you've got the government, not just the United States, it's happening all over you see Canada now, they're euthanizing people in Spain, they just euthanized a 25 year old girl that they allowed to be gang raped by illegal immigrants in a group home Everywhere you look, the government is killing people and they're just putting a smiley face on it but it's an atrocity Then they're calling the transgenderism and they're allowing mutilation of our children, so what is the purpose of that? But can the transgender have a child? No, so the whole idea I think goes back to a depopulation, there are too many of us for them to control
So the way that they will control is to kill us And I just heard this morning I could not believe this but Oklahoma is voting on a bill to take human remains and turn them into compost for fertilizer Yeah, I was in shock and also in Canada a fashion house is designing body bags so you get to choose your body bag from a designer The world is I believe unfortunately going insane and we are letting the inmates run the asylum, so what do we do about it Alex? Yeah, the inmates are definitely running the asylum and population control is absolutely a critical part of this and that's why in addition to killing us they're also working on sterilizing us, it's absolutely atrocious And so I think there's a number of things that we need to deal with here and I would say the first one is we have to be well informed Karen if you don't understand the danger you're not going to take prudent and necessary steps to protect yourself
We saw during COVID how the well informed people avoided the worst of the madness and the lemmings went along with the program and many of them unfortunately ended up dead or severely injured or they lost everything So knowledge is power. I would encourage people to really make sure they're accessing good sources of information. Your program Karen is marvelous. I serve a senior editor at the New American magazine. We put out a lot of good information that will help people. My free newsletter is at Liberty Sentinel dot org. We do some shows. There's a lot of good places to get information and then there's a lot of bad places. So make sure you're staying well informed on the issues of the day. It's maybe a little bit of an inconvenience, but it's absolutely essential. Secondly, we've got to protect the hearts and minds of the next generation. We have got to make sure that our children are getting a real education or all hope is lost. This is our posterity, our children, our grandchildren. If we don't make sure that they get a good education, we're going to be in big trouble, not just us as individuals, but our communities and of course our country.
So get your kids out of the government schools. If you can get informed on these issues, my latest book, Woken Weaponized, how Karl Marx won the battle for American education. How we can take it back is a good starting point. I personally have my own children in classical conversations, which is a really, really great program, classical Christian education. I serve on the board of the Freedom Project Academy, which is a classical Judeo Christian K through 12 school. It's all online so people can do that from anywhere in the world. But there are so many options out there, caring for people who want to get their children in a good education. They just have to act on it. But those are the key things that I would recommend. And then also just be prepared. I think we're headed into probably some tough economic and geopolitical times, and it would be wise for people to take some prudent precautions. I could not agree more, and I'm going to add a couple of things to what Alex just said, and that is vet your candidates. Pay attention to who you have, represent you.
And see if they're actually going to. Oh, sure. So we do at the New American, we produce the Freedom Index. We basically give a report card to every single lawmaker in the US Congress. And for the state legislature, so people can go to the new American.com and you'll be able to see right away if you're Congressman or your senator or your state representative or your state senator is voting in accordance with the Constitution or against it. So forget the rhetoric, right? Look at how they're actually voting. And that's a great tool for people to share with others. Oh, that certainly is. And another thing, if you are in the state of Florida, the most important election that we have in the state of Florida is the primary by the time your candidate gets to the general. So if they are Republican chances are they will already be elected. So you want to make sure that you get out and vote in the primary. We do not want our candidate to win a general election with 25% of the vote because only 25% of the people voted in the primary.
The primary to me is more important than the general election. And if we don't pay attention to that, we will be overrun by an incompetent people who just got there because nobody voted for them. Nobody voted. And like I said, vetting your candidate, vetting the candidate doesn't mean I'm going to give him a score because it's a right or wrong answer. No, it's your opportunity to find out what they think, why they think that way. Will they vote along the lines of their constituent constituents or will they vote along the lines of their donors and you must go and look at the donors who are the donors that are contributing because those are the people that your candidate will be beholden to is that really what you want. Big format telling your candidate we're going to use this drug no matter what we certainly don't want that to happen. So there are many things that we the people can do. The problem is we're sitting on the couch and throwing socks at the TV and that doesn't work.
So Alex, tell everybody where they can find you and your fabulous writing. Thanks again, Karen. So my personal website Liberty Sentinel.org Sentinel is S E N T I N E L dot org also the new American magazine online is at the new American dot com classical conversations is a classical conversations dot com and then public school exit is that public school exit dot com. I'm also on X you'll find made Alex Newman underscore J O U and we put all kinds of stuff out through through X so would encourage people to check us out there as well. Thank you so much Alex. Your work is always fantastic and hopefully you'll come back again when we get closer to this election so we can talk about some of the people that are have voted and are on the new American and why we should want them in office or not want them in office. So thank you. Thank you Karen. You've been listening to the prism of America's education brought to on the America out loud dot news network. Don't go away folks will be right back.

Hello everyone welcome back this is Karen Sean you're listening to the prism of America's education brought to you on the America out loud dot news network folks we are in a very holy time the Jews. My self included have just gone through and once again reminded us what slavery was like as we celebrated the Passover Sator now is Easter and as they left is trying to divide us I believe that it is of what most importance that we join together. The Jews and the Christians have so much in common fighting with our brethren is insanely stupid and desired by the communists so I have asked Bill Federer my favorite go to historian to please come on the show and give us a little history lesson of the importance of Passover Easter and why we need to unite as a united front.
Thank you so much for Bill for joining me it is always wonderful to have you on I learned so much and I appreciate it. Yeah well it is a tremendous honor for me to be on with you and this is one of my favorite subjects and it is actually goes back to the Adam and Eve story and Adam and Eve sinned and hid from God. God and the they decided to make fig leaves as they're covering and God said that's not going to work and he made them coats of skins and if you think of it how do you make a coat of skin well something has to die and so do you think he went to the other side of the garden and kill the animal or do you think maybe he killed it right in front of him. And they witnessed the first death ever right according to the creation account this would have been the first thing ever to die and Adam and Eve are watching this innocent animal go to the pain to dying and they're thinking to themselves where the ones is sinned but this innocent animals when it's dying and God wanted to make it really clear the animals dying in their place that right in front of me strips the skin off the animal and he puts it on their naked bodies and so for the rest of their life Adam and Eve are wearing the skin of the animal that they watch die in their place and.
And so the the attitude is instead of man making himself acceptable to God by putting on fig leaves it's God killing the the animal and putting the skins on Adam and Eve in other words God was and they had faith in that they were made acceptable to God by wearing the the skin of the animal so Adam and Eve tell cane and able right there's not much to talk about. Not yet because the everything is brand new and so they certainly shared the story cane basically does an offshoot of the church of the fig leaf and he starts the church and the fruits and the nuts. Canes trying to work his way to heaven and we know it's works because God told Adam the ground is cursed for your sake and you'll bring forth fruit by the sweat of your brow sweat is work. Canes trying to be good enough to go to heaven was canes offering accepted no and it says his countenance fell his pride was heard he was embarrassed in front of his mom dad and brother.
And he got fill full hatred and anger what murderers brother able who had the understanding of the lamb so able the picture is God is on one side where on the other side we've all said. But the lamb takes the judgment for the sin instead of us taking the judgment for the sin and so able offering was rejected if you think of it if you're doing works you can be proud of your works because you're doing more than your brother and there's a verse in the Bible says God resist the proud but he gets grace to the humble and so able by trusting in the lamb is humble because he's acknowledging he's insufficient in himself I need help. And so the the help is the lamb and then you go to Noah getting off the ark and he sacrificed a lamb now the Bible says he took two of every creature on the ark but seven pair of every clean animal so he would have had enough lambs and then after he sacrificed the lambs when the rainbow appeared and then you have Abraham and he is you know going to the tree.
You know going to the top of Mount Mariah with Isaac and Isaac says probably we have the wood for the sacrifice we have the cold for the sacrifice but where's the sacrifice and Abraham says son God will provide himself a lamb and and so there's sure enough there's a ram in the bush and Abraham sacrifices that instead of his son and and then you go to the children of Israel. Children of Israel in Egypt and the the Pharaoh says that all the Jews have to throw their their sons in the Nile River and and God basically flips it and says okay the judgment you were going to do in the Israelites I'm going to do on you and I'm going to kill the firstborn of Egypt and the the Israelites kill a lamb and put the blood over the door post to their house. And so when the angel of death the angel of judgment is coming and it's bringing this judgment the blood signifies this house has already been judged the price has already been paid here's the proof here's the evidence the blood of the sacrifice so the sacrifice took the judgment instead of us taking the judgment so the angel of death could pass over so they called it pass over and and then you get to the tabernacle and the wilderness and the
high priest there's the the tentative meeting outside is the brazen altar where the sacrifices killed and then you have the the laver the like a bathtub where the priest would wash their their hands and so forth and then they would go into the holy place with the menorah and the table of show bread but then there's a curtain and inside is the holy holies and there's a archival. The covenant and the arch is a gold box and inside of the 10 commandments so on the top is a lid that's gold and then there's two angels and between the two angels the high priest comes and he sprinkles the blood of the the sacrifice right there on the the lid and the picture is you have the presence of the Lord above between the two angels and then you have the 10 commandments inside of it and then the blood in between and so the the priest representing the people saying we say we've said we've broken the law but except the blood of this sacrifice as having taken the judgment instead of us taking the judgment and so if the high priest would have approached the arch without the blood he would have been approaching the judgment seat of God but the blood changed it from a judgment seat into a mercy seat and then David sacrifice lambs the blood of the Lord.
When he took the census and there's that angel bring a judgment on Jerusalem and he gets the threshing floor of Arna and I'm not pronouncing his name right but and then David sacrifices and then Solomon sacrifice a thousand lambs when he dedicated the temple. You know Elijah did as well and then you have John the Baptist and this is the the Christian New Testament now and John the Baptist pointed Jesus and he says but we hold a lamb a God that take it the way the sins of the world and so the idea is that we've all sinned and and we're all unworthy but instead of us having faith that we're you know like cane. Oh I hope I put it enough barley on the altar maybe a couple more handfuls will do it instead it's I say we we've all sinned we need help and we're trusting in this lamb having take so so God is just he has to judge every sin because if he doesn't judge a sin by default he'd be giving consent to the sin and and if God gives consent to one sin one time he denies his just nature he denies himself and he cannot deny himself so he has to judge every sin but he provides the
lamb and the lamb takes the judgment instead of us taking the judgment and so that's what the Christians celebrate as the passion and Christ being crucified as the lamb as the sacrifice in our place so the the thought is that the Jews had faith in the lamb to come and Christians have faith in the lamb that came but salvation through the lamb that it's not us being good enough. So that's the overarching picture that the Christian Passover that's celebrated as Easter but then there's another interesting aspect is the seven feasts of Israel and so this is what God gives to Moses in Leviticus and so there's a seven feasts and they're celebrated at three feasts. They're celebrated at three points of the year so the spring 50 days later is pentacost and then at the end of the summer is the end of the wheat harvest and so when you look at the the dates of this it's it's interesting because the Hebrew day begins its sunset and goes to the next sunset.
And so the feast of Passover is the 14th day of Nissan and that's the name of them the Hebrew month and so the this is when Moses instructed every family to take a lamb keep it in their house for three days and then kill it and then you know roast it and then eat it and then they go on the. The very next day is called the feast of unleavened bread and leaven is yeast and it's symbolic of sin and all the yeast is taken out of the the home and then the next the day after that is the feast of first fruits and so this is when you have the the end of the barley harvest and beginning of the wheat harvest and they were.
It would take the the first shoots of the grain out of the ground and they cut it off and they wave it before the Lord and and then 50 days later is the feast of pentacost which is the beginning of the the wheat harvest and so forth and so anyway now so those are the feasts that are in given in Leviticus. And so Jesus is with the disciples and he celebrates Passover on the evening of Passover and the you know the sun goes down he celebrates Passover but then the very next morning is when he is crucified on the exact day of Passover and so he is in the Christian faith. The Passover lamb the Paschal lamb and it sacrifice on the exact day of Passover and and then he's put in the tomb and they they they you know take him off the cross before sunset and then they they put him in the tomb so then he's in the tomb that night and the the scriptures in the New Testament says that how he takes the sin out of the world and that leaven is sin.
The Apostle Paul says you know purge yourself of the old leaven of malice and you know in righteousness and and and you know partake of the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth and and then the day after that is the feast of first fruits and that's the day that Jesus rose from the dead and and so the Christian faith is that Jesus rose from the dead. What is that Jesus fulfilled that and the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 7 for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us and and then there's a chapter in the Old Testament that's Isaiah 53 and the it says surely he has took our pain and bore our suffering. He considered him punished by God stricken by him and afflicted he was pierced for our transgressions he was crushed for our nicoties the punishment that brought us peace was upon him and by his wounds we are healed the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all he was oppressed and afflicted yet he did not open his mouth he was led as a lamb to the slaughter as a sheep before his shears he was silent he was cut off from the land of the living for the transgressions my people he was punished yet it was the Lord's will to crush him.
To crush him and cause him to suffer the Lord has made his life and offering for sin and then it says my right to servant will justify many and he will hear he will bear their iniquities for he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressions transgressions that's Isaiah chapter 53 so this is the another scripture here's Paul. In the first Corinthians 5 let us keep the feast not with old leaven either with the leaven of malice and wickedness but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth and so the early church for the first three centuries was basically Jewish and then as you had Greeks converting and Romans converting you had these Gentiles. Gentiles that were now deciding to follow Christ and then you have Constantine and he for the first three centuries for the first century Jews and Christians were persecuted together and the Romans really didn't see the difference between the two and they said that you know that basically Christians was just another group of Jews and then they started targeting them separately
but the persecutions continued yet the 135 AD barcocca revolt where Hadrian like you know destroys every city and in the holy land and changes the name of the land from 2d to to Syria Palestine on and then but there's 10 major persecutions of Christians and Nero and so forth and Diocletian and but but Constantine then becomes the emperor and he stops the persecution and everybody celebrates. And then you have the first heresy that starts like a thing called Aryanism and Constantine orders all the bishops to come to nigh see it to settle it and they do they write what's called the nigh see and creed but Constantine adds something he decides that he wants to have one date to unify the Roman Empire now that it's officially Christian.
And so he decides he wants to celebrate Easter but he wants it celebrated on a Sunday now as simple as that sounds that changed the practice of the Christians and many of them were Jewish Christians he instead of the Christians asking the Jews hey when's passed over this year and it's based on the lunar calendar because the. The Hebrews used a lunar calendar and and but rather than asking the Jews hey when's passed over because it could fall on any day of the week it could be earlier the year it could be later you know the spring instead Constantine said I want to cut the ties with our with the Jewish heritage and and I want to have Easter on a Sunday no no matter what day the 14th of Nissan falls on forget that. We're just going to do it on a Sunday and and so Constantine came up with a new formula it's called the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox and from that point on you had church scholars plotting out in advance on this solar calendar because Constantine said no more lunar calendar we're going to do.
This solar calendar 360 days a year a leap day every four years and so and so that was what's considered the official and and there were still Christians that were that was one of the first controversies in the early church they were called 14thors that was the name of the and and at the consulate I see that they decided to excommunicate. Anybody that was a 14th or that still believe that that the Passover that Christians should celebrate the Passover and have Easter celebrate on the same day as Passover now Easter actually it only appears one time in the King James Bible because Easter is actually Esther or a start day which is a Babylonian name and but every other place in the King James Bible and in every other Bible translation the name was Paschal which was another way of saying Passover but yeah that was when Constantine is the one that did the the splitting of the Gentile Christian church away from the Jewish church and so now every now and then
the dates happen to line up again and everybody's like wow this is pretty amazing Christians and Jews are celebrating on the same day it's like well that's sort of the way it was supposed to be you know I find so interesting that every ruler or every religious group has their own interpretation and has added something to what we are celebrating and the way we celebrate and I guess that that is what makes it so easy to divide us and this history that intertwines us and makes should make us all realize that we are one in the same we all believe in morality we believe in goodness we believe in atoning for our sins we may do it slightly different depending upon where we come from but basically it's all the same thing we all love God love our country love family
and we really need to take a pause at this time and stop and say what are we doing to each other because I think that that's really what has happened in America we have lost our focus and we need to get it back and you know it's interesting that the other side you know like Islam the Ayatollah says you know they want to destroy the little Satan Israel the big Satan America you know in their Islamic end times that they want to kill all the Christians and kill all the Jews and it's like they they lump Christians and Jews together they see the similarities even though we see oh we're we got little differences from the outside they're like no you're you're pretty much you know that got more similarities than you have differences and and so again what you were saying that we need to focus on what we have in common and and and so you have you know what I mean
so you have you know different presidents throughout history and have a website it's American Minute.com and I put quotes on there of you know the different presidents that acknowledged Passover and how how special it was and you know all the all the different prophecies and things like that remind ourselves of this rich history yes we need to do that folks and that I believe is what makes America special is the fact that we have the ability to say okay we may have had original differences but we've also had original similarities and instead of like we said focusing on our differences we should focus on the things that bring us together and stop fighting each other because that is what the people who are the non-relievers the agnostic the people who you know want to eliminate God
and worship I have no idea what worship themselves worship mankind worship the government and that's that is not what America was about and during this time when history is so rich we have to not lose sight of what it is and put it back in our schools so that our children understand the richness of what America is all about we need to get back to our roots and yes it's wonderful to look forward but we also have to look behind and see because that's what got us where we are and if we don't know our history America is lost and we can't allow that to happen will tell everyone again where they can find you bills writings are fantastic he sends out a newsletter and each newsletter has a new tidbit of American history and I know that on his website all of his history lessons are archived and it's something that you should go through with your family
and remind yourselves what America is all about especially now as we celebrate our 250th anniversary bill where can people find you and some of your wonderful books well thank you my website is americanminute.com Americanminute.com and written about 30 books and I have my videos and different podcasts and so forth there I was going to put out a here's a quote from Ronald Reagan in 1982 he says we just celebrated the happiest and holiest day of the Christian faith and we're in the sixth of the eight days of Passover as a reminder of our nation's Judeo Christian tradition and so the things that we see in common the Bible faith Jews and Christians it gave birth to the concept of the individual that you look at Genesis you individually are made in the image of God and this God is not a respecter of persons
and so every other belief system in the world your worth is dependent on what group you belong to if you're a Muslim male your worth more than a Muslim female Mohammed said it takes two women to testify in court against one man because a woman's mind is deficient right and Egypt they have a marriage license one name for a man in four names for the wives four lines for the wives names in India they have a caste system and if you're born as a Brahman in the highest caste your worst worth more than an untouchable that the in the lowest caste it has to take care of the garbage and if you're in a communist country you're if you're a communist party member you're worth more if you're not you have to live in the poor neighborhoods atheistic you know countries your worth is dependent on your utility if you're useful to society you're worth more and if you're not useful you're a drain on society you're worth less it's the Bible faith that says no you're worth something simply because you're made in the image of God period and it's not a respecter person so we're all equal yes Bible concept that is foundational to America yes it is and unfortunately we are losing that and we have to get it back thank you so much Bill I appreciate everything you do and you wonderful history lesson and have a wonderful Easter and happy Passover
