George Washington's Vision:
Three great perils will come upon the Republic.
- 1777/1778. A vision received by George Washington.
The account of this vision was given in 1859 by an old soldier. He gave it to a writer,
Wesley
Bradshaw, who published it. In the vision God revealed to George Washington that three
great
perils would come upon the Republic. He was given to know that America was going through
the
first peril at that time. The old soldier who told the story of the vision said the nation
would soon
see [soon after 1859] the account verified by the second peril descending upon the land.
This account here is as printed in the U.S. war veterans paper The National Tribune,
in
December, 1880. The National Tribune became, "The Stars and Stripes", and this
article was
reprinted in that publication December 21, 1850. (This is probably 1950, but list it as I found it)
"The last time I ever saw Anthony Sherman was on the fourth of July, 1859, in Independence Square. He was then 99 years old, and becoming very feeble. But though so old, his dimming eyes rekindled as he gazed upon Independence Hall, which he had come to visit once more.
"'Let's go into the hall,' he said. 'I want to tell you of an incident of Washington's life -- one which no one alive knows of except myself; and if you live, you will before long see it verified. Mark the prediction, you will see it verified.
"'From the opening of the Revolution we experienced all phases of fortune, now good and now ill, one time victorious and another conquered. The darkest period we had, I think, was when Washington after several reverses, retreated to Valley Forge, where he resolved to pass the winter of 1777. Ah! I have often seen the tears coursing down our dear commander's careworn cheeks, as he would be conversing with a confidential officer about the condition of his poor soldiers. You have doubtless heard the story of Washington's going into the thicket to pray. Well, it was not only true, but he used to pray often in secret for aid and comfort. And God brought us safely through the darkest days of tribulation.
"'One day, I remember it well, the chilly winds whistled through the leafless trees, though the sky was cloudless and the sun shone brightly. He remained in his quarters nearly all the afternoon, alone. When he came out I noticed that his face was a shade paler than usual, and there seemed to be something on his mind of more than ordinary importance. Returning just after dusk, he dispatched an orderly to the quarters of an officer, who was presently in attendance. After a preliminary conversation of about half an hour, Washington, gazing upon his companion with that strange look of dignity which he alone could command, said to the latter:
~ Preface
"I do not know whether it is owing to the anxiety of my mind, or what, but this
afternoon, as I was
sitting at this table engaging in preparing a dispatch, something in the apartment seemed
to disturb
me. Looking up, I beheld standing opposite to me a singularly beautiful being. So
astonished was
I, for I had given strict orders not to be disturbed that it was some moments before I
found language
to inquire the cause of the visit. A second, a third, and even a fourth time did I repeat
my question,
but received no answer from my mysterious visitor except a slight raising of the eyes.
By this time I felt strange sensations spreading through me. I would have risen but the
riveted gaze
of the being before me rendered volition impossible. I assayed once more to speak, but my
toung
became useless, as if parylized. A new influence, mysterious, potent, irresitible, took
posseession
of me. All I could do was to gaze steadily , vacantly at my unknown visitor.
Gradually the surrounds atmosphere seemed to fill with sensations, and grew luminous.
Everything
about me seemed to rarefy, the mysterious visitor also becoming more airy and yet more
distinct to
my sight than before. I began to feel as one dying, or rather to experience the sensations
I
sometimes imagine accompaning death. I did not think, I did not reason, I did not move.
All were
alike impossible. I was only conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly on my companion.
~ The introductory part of the Vision
Presently I heard a voice say, "Son of the Republic, look and learn,' while at the
same time my
visitor extended an arm eastward [toward the Atlantic and Europe]. I now beheld a heavy
white
vapor at some distance rising fold upon fold. This gradually dissipated, and I looked upon
the
strange scene. Before me lay, out in one vast plain all the countries of the world --
Europe, Asia,
Africa, and America. I saw rolling and tossing between Europe and America lay billows of
the
Atlantic, and between Asia and America lay the Pacific. 'Son of the Republic', said the
same
mysterious voice as before, 'look and learn.'
~ The First Peril: The Revolutionary War.
At that moment I beheld a dark shadowy being, like an angel, standing, or rather floating
in
mid-air, between Europe and America. Dipping water out of the ocean in the hollow of each
hand,
he sprinkled some upon America with his right [West] hand, while with his left [East hand]
he cast
some over Europe [angel is facing South]. Immediately a cloud arose from these countries
and
joined in mid-ocean. For awhile it remained stationary, and then it moved slowly westward,
until it
enveloped America in its murky folds. Sharp flashes of lightning gleamed through at
intervals , and I
heard the smothered groans and cries of the American People. (This may be interpreted to
have
been the Revolutionary War, then in progress.)
A second time the angel dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it out as before. The
dark
cloud drew back to the ocean, in whose heaving billows it sank from view.
~ Westward expansion in America
A third time I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' I
cast my
eyes upon America and beheld villages and town cities spring up one right after another
until the
whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific was dotted with them. Again, I heard the
mysterious voice
say, 'Son of the Republic, the end of the century cometh [end of the 1700's], look and
learn.'
~ The Second Peril: Slave trade from Africa is used to instigate the Civil War.
And this time a dark shadowy angel turned his face southward. From Africa I saw an
ill-omened
spectre approach our land. It flitted slowly and heavily over every town and city of the
latter [our
land]. The inhabitants presently set themselves in battle array against each other [the
Civil War].
As I continued to look I saw a bright angel on whose brow was traced the word 'Union.' He
was
bearing the American flag. He placed the flag between the divided nation and said,
'Remember,
ye are brethern.' (This may be interpreted as to have been the Civil War.)
George Washington's Vision: Foreign Troops in the USA.
Again I heard a mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' At this
the dark,
shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking
water from
the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe [EU including Great Britain, Germany], Asia
[Russia, China],
and Africa [Arab countries including Egypt].
Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these continents arose thick black
clouds that
were soon joined into one . And throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by
which I saw hordes of armed men. These men, moving with the cloud marched by land and
sailed by sea to America
[where they were temporarily stationed on recently "shut down" USA military
bases], which country
was enveloped in the volume of the cloud.
George Washington's Vision: Martial Law in the USA
I dimly saw these vast armies
devastate the whole country and burn the villages, towns and cities, which I had seen
spring
up. As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of swords, and the
shouts and
cries of millions in mortal combat, I again heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the
Republic,
look and learn.' When the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once
more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful blast.
George Washington's Vision: Nuclear Attack on the USA
~ The Third Peril, Phase 3, Nuclear Attack on the USA: Nuclear attack on the USA, the
surprise
ending for the Third Peril: Babylon the great is fallen, in one day/hour. ~
Instantly a light, as of a thousand suns [a nuclear attack involving a thousand nuclear
warheads,
each one being as bright as a sun when it explodes] shone down from above me, and pierced
and
broke into fragments of the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the
angel
upon whose head still shown the word 'Union,' and who bore our national flag in one hand
and a
sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These
immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were well-nigh over come
[in one
day/hour, Babylon the great falls, and the nuclear attack is over for the surviving
Americans], but who
immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks, and renewed battle
Again amid the fearful noise of the conflict I heard the mysterious voice say, 'Son of the
Republic,
look and learn.' As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped the water
from the
ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark clouds rolled back, together with
the
armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious.
Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seem them
before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard cried with a loud voice:
'While the stars
remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last.' [But
no longer
as the world's superpower.] And taking from his brow the crown which blazoned the word
'Union,' he
placed it down upon the standard while the people, kneeling down said, 'Amen.' [A great
Revival
in America.]
~ Summary of the Vision's 3 Perils.
The scene instanly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising,
curling vapor, I
at first beheld. This also disappeared, and I found myself once more gazing upon the
mysterious
visitor who, in the same voice I heard before said, 'Son of the Republic, what you have
seen is thus
interpreted: Three great perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful for her is
the
third. But the whole world united shall not prevail against her [if we can learn to live
for God].
Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and Union.
With these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen
a vision
wherein had been showed me the birth, progress, and destiny of the United States."
