Museum of the Bible Opens in DC
(16 Nov 2017) THE NATION'S POLITICAL CAPITAL IS ALSO HOME TO MANY POPULAR MUSEUMS.
NOW, A NEWCOMER IS OPENING ITS MASSIVE DOORS A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM THE NATIONAL MALL
MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE VISITORS ENTER THROUGH MONUMENTAL RECREATIONS OF THE PLATES USED IN THE FIRST PRINTED BIBLE.
INSIDE, HIGH TECH MEETS ANCIENT TEXT.
(NAT SOUND)
GUESTS EXPERIENCE STORIES FOUND IN THE BIBLE THROUGH IMMERSIVE MULTIMEDIA PRESENTIONS.
THEY ALSO SEE ARTIFACTS RELATED TO THE BIBLE, FROM BIBLICAL FRAGMENTS TO VIRTUAL ENCOUNTERS WITH EARLY RELIGIOUS FIGURES.
(NAT SOUND)
THE MUSEUM ALSO INCLUDES A RE-CREATED FIRST CENTURY VILLAGE, WITH A SYNAGOGUE MODELED ON THOSE FROM THE TIME OF JESUS.
IT'S DESIGNED TO GIVE VISITORS A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE STORIES THAT APPEAR IN THE BIBLE, HOW THE BOOK HAS TRAVERSED HISTORY, AND ITS IMPACT ON CULTURE.
AT THE SAME TIME, FOUNDERS SAY THE MUSEUM IS MEANT FOR PEOPLE OF ALL FAITHS, AND NO FAITH.
THE MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE WAS LARGELY FUNDED BY THE GREEN FAMILY, OWNERS OF THE HOBBY LOBBY CHAIN OF CRAFT STORES.
THE CHAIN WAS THE SUBJECT OF A HIGH PROFILE SUPREME COURT CASE, IN WHICH THE COMPANY ARGUED THAT PROVIDING SOME TYPES OF BIRTH CONTROL TO EMPLOYEES VIOLATED THEIR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
HOBBY LOBBY ALSO PAID A 3 MILLION DOLLAR FINE AND FORFEITED THOUSANDS OF ARTIFACTS THAT INVESTIGATORS SAY WERE ILLEGALLY REMOVED FROM IRAQ AND SOLD TO THE COMPANY.
CRITICS SAY THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT THE FAMILY POURED INTO THE MUSEUM COULD MEAN THAT VISITORS ARE IN FOR A HARD RELIGIOUS SELL, OR THAT THE MUSEUM SERVES A POLITICAL PURPOSE.
THE COMPANY'S PRESIDENT SAYS THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
SOUNDBITE (English) Steve Green, President of Hobby Lobby: Our role is not to espouse our faith, it's not to tell you what to believe. It's to present the evidence of this book, I'd like to say, in a journalistic way, and let our visitors decide for themselves what they do.
HE ALSO WANTS TO DRAW IN VISITORS WHO MIGHT SEE THE BIBLE AS JUST AN ANCIENT BOOK.
SOUNDBITE (English) Steve Green, President of Hobby Lobby: Some people may come in here saying, so what it's a Bible, it's a book that no one's reading any more. And then they come in here and they see that this book impacted their life. It is being engaged today like no other book in history.
CONSULTANTS WHO HAVE WORKED ON THE EXHIBITS SAY THE MUSEUM LEADERSHIP HAS TAKEN PAINS TO MAKE SURE HOT TOPICS WEREN'T WHITEWASHED.
SOUNDBITE (English) Timothy Shah, Baylor University: There's not a happy simplistic story...People who read the Bible persecuted and were also persecuted. People who read the Bible opposed slavery, but also read the Bible to support slavery.
THE MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE COVERS MORE THAN 430-THOUSAND SQUARE FEET, AND COST MORE THAN 500-MILLION DOLLARS.
EXHIBITS COVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF HISTORY - MUSEUM ORGANIZERS SAY IT WOULD TAKE DAYS TO SEE EVERYTHING.

World War II Memorial in Washington, DC
In commemoration of the Battle of Bataan (January 7 to April 9, 1942) that resulted in the Bataan Death March, The Filipino Web Channel features the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., which we visited on Sunday, March 31, 2018.
The World War II Memorial is dedicated to Americans who served in the armed forces and as civilians during World War II. It consists of 56 pillars and a pair of small triumphal arches surrounding a square and fountain on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Each of the 56 granite pillars is 17 feet tall on which is inscribed the name of one of the 48 U.S. states of 1945, as well as District of Columbia, the Alaska Territory and Territory of Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and U.S. Virgin Islands.
Within the memorial is the Freedom Wall on the west side which has 4,048 gold stars, each representing 100 Americans who died in the war. In front of the wall lies the message Here we mark the price of freedom. (Source: Wikipedia).

Christian Heritage etched in stone on Gov't buildings in Washington, DC
It is said to take God out of our Country they will have to sandblast Washington DC or Tear Down Our National Monuments
Separation of Church and State is a LIE. We have been had!!!!!
So much of our history is lost, no longer taught in our schools or printed or discussed in news outlets..
Those who do not know true history are easily mislead down wrong paths. George Washington our 1st president, and president of the constitutional convention stated in his farewell address that religion and morality were essential for good government. And Page 20 of this document “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars”
Our Constitution was founded on prayer. Ben Franklin (who many of our history books call a deist, someone who does not believe in a God who answers prayer) when there was trouble reaching any kind of agreement got up on the floor to call for prayer. He Stated “Is it probable an empire can rise without his aid, have we now forgotten this powerful Friend” & and also by former Senator Robert Byrd here
Our Declaration of Independence states that “our rights come from God” and states in the opening paragraph that laws were from the laws of nature and nature’s God. The Declaration of Independence was so important to our founders it was codified along side of the constitution into the US Code of Law Volume I as Organic law, or foundational law. Also note the NorthWest Ordiance of 1787 is another one of the Organic laws where it states religion and morality being necessary for government shall for ever be part of education
Take a tour of our Nations Capitol; Our National monuments are etched in stone with references to God, Ten Commandments etc. We will have to sand blast Washington DC to take God completely out of our Government.
We HAVE BEEN HAD. The 1st amendment was ment to protect the states from the federal Government interfering with relegion at the State Level. That is why it reads Congress Congres shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion nor interfering with the practice there of.

Washington D.C | Capitol Hill
The United States Capitol is the meeting place of the United States Congress, the legislature of the Federal government of the United States. Located in Washington, D.C., it sits atop Capitol Hill at the eastern end of the National Mall. Though not in the geographic center of the District of Columbia, the Capitol is the origin by which the quadrants of the District are divided. Officially, both the east and west sides of the Capitol are referred to as fronts. Historically, however, only the east front of the building was intended for the arrival of visitors and dignitaries.
Exploring Washington D.C.
Here's some footage from my first trip to D.C. Which U.S. city should I visit next?
Washington DC, The Crown and Vatican Jesuits, Nobility, Knights, Papal Jews rule the World
This video is dedicated to All the researchers that have suffered and sacrificed to bring us closer to knowledge of Truth, and to this dying world today. Here in America we have been deceived by forces that most will fail to recognize until being quickened by the help GOD’s people, subjecting ourselves in submission to Christ Alone in the Bible alone, which in turn will bring salt and light to our fallen world. This is why having European History and perspectives helps to free those of us with eyes to see and ears to hear that the game plan for the Corporate United States is rigged by those seated in High Places, just as the Bible says- The hidden hand of Authority in High places in government is hard to see when so many obstacles have been placed in the way. The path to awakening IS a Painful reality that we have to go through in one way, through Jesus Christ our Messiah, and he is not wanted and has been rejected by the harlot daughters and their teaching of Futurism and other false teachings. The preaching of the cross is not wanted for the carnal man, because we have been duped into thinking that the world is all there is and that Almighty GOD does not exist. This is why WE Really need help from our Brothers and Sisters seated with the Holy Spirit in different parts of the world. GOD Bless you, thanks for watching.
