The Harbinger – Jonathan Cahn

Timeline:
Why did the Pilgrims/Puritans leave England?
The Pilgrims left England for religious reasons because they believed that they were true Christians, determined to purify the Christian church and return to a scripture-based service. Pilgrim groups of Puritans gathered on their own until the English parliament outlawed independent congregations. Due to living under the constant threat of imprisonment or even execution, they were forced to flee after three years.

What happened during the Revolutionary War? Why were we fighting?
The American Revolution began in 1775 as open conflict between the united thirteen coloniesand Great Britain. By the Treaty of Paris that ended the war in 1783, the colonies had won their independence. While no one event can be pointed to as the actual cause of the revolution, the war began as a disagreement over the way in which Great Britain treated the colonies versus the way the colonies felt they should be treated. Americans felt they deserved all the rights of Englishmen. The British, on the other hand, felt that the colonies were created to be used in the way that best suited the crown and parliament. This conflict is embodied in one of the rallying cries of the American Revolution: No Taxation Without Representation.
Meaning, the 13 colonies have lived a hundred or so years setting up their own laws and means of living. They were happy with how things were going, why? Their bottom line, what they were grounded in, The Bible and the Word of God. The fighting began because they thought that they were being infringed upon, taken over, if you will.
After the final battle and independence was won, the Continental Congress set forth with 56 men, to write, edit and eventual agree to and sign the Declaration of Independence. God is mentioned 4 times within the document. The four names that God was given in the document that declared that we no longer considered ourselves to

    The Pilgrims separated from The Church of England because the church was too strict. They were told that they had to go to the church the government picked. This form of dictatorship was called "State Church." If one went against the states church they would have been arrested and thrown in jail. They were then tortured in an effort to make them changed their beliefs. If this was unsuccessful, they were put to death in very painful ways such as being hung, burned, or death by intense weight.

    The cause of the American Revolution can be argued but it is clear that it was caused from British missteps that lead to colonial determination to become a separate nation. After 1763, the British began to increase and assert their power over the colonies, who, in contrast, wanted to be less controlled. However, the colonies did not want complete independence prior to this increase in control from the British. Although the colonies did seem to have determination for an independent nation in England’s eyes, the British failed to recognize the colonies real intentions for government, limited expansion and economic success, and increased and controlled taxation in the colonies.…

    The American Revolution embarked the beginning of the United States of America. A war that lasted eight years, 1775-1783, was able to grant the thirteen colonies the independence they deserved by breaking free of British rule. The war was an effect of the previous French and Indian War, which forced England to tax the American colonist, compelling them to rebel against parliament.

    Pilgrims (US), or Pilgrim Fathers (UK), is a name commonly applied to early settlers of the Plymouth Colony in present-day Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Their leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in England for the relative calm and tolerance of 16th–17th century Holland in the Netherlands. Concerned with losing their cultural identity, the group later arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony, established in 1620, became the second successful English settlement (after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607) and later the oldest continuously inhabited English settlement in what was to become the United States of America. The Pilgrims' story of seeking religious freedom has become a central theme of the history and culture of the United States.…
