There was once a great and mighty nation.

For hundreds of years two diametrically opposed parties fought for control over this nation; both claimed moral and cultural superiority over the other.

The nation began celebrating the dawning of a new era; a brand new century.

In the year known as SIXTEEN, as far as anyone could tell, a new leader rose to prominence and took the reins of power. Not only did this man’s leadership seem miraculous and the result of divine intervention but he set himself against a massive political crime syndicate that had gained almost sole control of the nation’s government and economy.

He changed up military commands and focused his efforts on protecting the nation’s borders, and on internal preparation and defense.

He displayed a keen respect for the nation’s traditional and historic Judeo-Christian God; going as far as acknowledging the divinity of Jesus Christ and encouraging the nation to engage in prayer and Christian worship.

His leadership was awe inspiring and caused an unprecedented level of excitement and fear among the people.

In the year known to the people as TWENTY, the political crime syndicate of murderers and thieves fully revealed itself and attempted to lay a massive siege against the leader and his people. They sought to cut him and his people off from all of their privileges so that they could cause this leader and his people to yield themselves up to the wishes of the criminal syndicate and its massive conspiracy to destroy the liberty of the land.

The political crime syndicate even attempted to shame the leader and his people. They mocked the people for their foolish beliefs and encouraged the people to finally join the “ancient” “works” of their evil secret society. This appeal was persuasive because the political crime syndicate was expert in fraud and deception and had lured a majority of the wicked and foolish people to follow in its corrupt ways.

As the political crime syndicate laid siege against the people, the land, and the economy, the extent of their depravity was exposed: they were a society and people who had for generations murdered the most innocent and their hands were stained with blood.

Fortunately, the efforts of this murderous political syndicate failed, their leader was exposed and he was sentenced to death for treason and conspiracy.

So miraculous was the delivery of these people from the evil conspirators that the people united together and shouted:

“Hosanna to the Most High God. Blessed be the name of the Lord God Almighty, the Most High God.”

However, this was not the end. The people would spend till TWENTY-SIX rooting out and punishing all the traitors and conspirators. Peace would then be established but would only last for three to four short years. By their year THIRTY, these same people, who had been delivered so miraculously, would become prideful, their nation would be fractured and their system of government would be completely and irreparably destroyed.
