Subject: Son of the Republic - George Washington's Vision

I stumbled on this beautiful
site looking for more information on General Washington's vision and
thought it was good enough to share with you.  They say most adults
have to hear information seven times before we get it.  Some
stories I can read over and over because they bring me to a state of hope
during these most despairing times of oppression in America and the
world.  This is one such story.

Most of us have heard about the
vision or better stated, the visitation General George Washington
had at Valley Forge.

II. What Happened at Valley
Forge -

In order to appreciate this
vision you must understand how terrible the conditions were at Valley
Forge.  You can see a glimpse of the situation at this
site.

However, until you read his
"autobiography" you will not begin to know the utter hopelessness
and tragedy of this epic turning point not so long ago. He and his men
were freezing and starving to death.

Martha, his wife, joined
him and his men in their near death and dieing state.  General
Washington and Martha could have easily gone to more comfortable
facilities.  However, he was a man of principal and courage at this
time and set an example of courage and bravery.

He freely chose to die with
his men, if necessary.

His wife, freely chose to
die with her husband. if necessary.

The few volunteer colonists
and frontiersmen left of the rag tag shoeless army chose to suffer
together as they could manage under the circumstances.

There was little to no
support.  It was only the grace of God that kept them alive with a few
provisional visits.  There were approximately 3 million American's in
the colonies at the time.  One third wanted to stay under the
King for "security", one third waffled back and for depending on
where their next meal or profit was coming from and one third wanted out
completely.

Out of the one third that wanted
freedom, i.e. 1 million people, there were 20,000 men who marched forward
in the summer of 1775 to leave their families and risk their lives.
Behind each of those men were the women, children, relatives and
friends who were their supply chain of support.  Many left the battle to
hurry back to their home colony and family to defend.

Here is the time line for you to
have a perspective of the enormity of events going on during this epic that
gave us our freedom and liberty.  http://www.ushistory.org/Valleyforge/history/timeline.html

o
No
battle was fought at Valley Forge. Yet, it was the turning point of the Revolutionary
War. It was here that the Continental army was desperately against the
ropes — bloody, beaten, battle-weary — and ready to quit. Even
General Washington conceded, "If the army does not get help soon, in
all likelihood it will disband."

The
question must be asked, "Why didn't they disband?"

III.
THE INTERPRETATION

"The
scene instantly 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 had 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. 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 shown me
the birth, the progress, and the destiny of the United States.

Such,
my friends, the venerable narrator concluded, were the words I heard from
Washington's own lips, and America will do well to profit by them."

Son of the Republic, Look and Learn

~ A Vision of George Washington ~

"The
Birth, the progress and the destiny of the United States"

The father of our country, George Washington, was a man of
prayer. Many of us have read of how he went to the thicket many times to pray
during the winter his army was at Valley Forge. However, little publicity has
been give to the vision and prophecy he received at that time.

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 the
account verified by the second peril descending upon the land.

We give the
account here 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 later reprinted in that publication.

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 tried
once more to speak, but my tongue became useless, as if paralyzed. A new
influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took possession of me. All I
could do was to gaze steadily, vacantly at my unknown visitor.

Gradually
the surrounding 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
accompanying 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.

Presently I
heard a voice say,

"Son of the Republic, look and learn,"

while at the
same time my visitor extended an arm eastward. 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."

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 hand, while with his left he cast some over Europe. 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 flashed of lightning gleamed through at intervals, and
I heard the smothered groans and cries of the American People.

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.

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 and 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, look
and learn."

And
this time a dark shadowy angel turned his face southward. From Africa I saw an
ill omened spectra approach our land. It flitted slowly and heavily over
every town and city of the latter. The inhabitants presently set themselves
in battle array against each other. As I continued 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 brethren. "

Instantly the
inhabitants, casting down their weapons became friends once more, and united
around the National Standard.

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, Asia,
and Africa.

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, which country was
enveloped in the volume of the cloud. And 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.  Instantly a light, as of a thousand
suns 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, but who immediately taking courage again,
closed up their broken ranks, and renewed battle.

Again amid the fearful voice 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."

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.'

The scene
instantly 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. 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."
