The 13th
amendment to the United States Constitution was signed by the President,
Abraham Lincoln on February 1st 1865.
This was 144 years ago coming
this Sunday. 144 is a very significant number in the Bible
(Revelation).
Here is an excerpt from
Wikipedia:
While the Senate did pass the
amendment in April 1864, by a vote of 38 to 6, the House declined to do so.
After it was reintroduced by Representative James Mitchell
Ashley, President Lincoln took an active role to ensure its passage through
the House by ensuring the amendment was added to the Republican Party platform
for the upcoming Presidential elections. His efforts came to fruition when the
House passed the bill in January 1865, by a vote of 119 to 56. The Thirteenth
Amendment's archival copy bears an apparent Presidential signature, under the
usual ones of the Speaker of the House and the President
of the Senate,[2] after the words "Approved February 1,
1865".
The Thirteenth Amendment completed
the abolition of slavery, which
had begun with the Emancipation
Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863.
Approximately 40,000 slaves remaining in Kentucky were freed by the
Thirteenth Amendment.[3]
The Thirteenth Amendment was
followed by the Fourteenth
Amendment (civil rights in the states), in 1868, and Fifteenth
Amendment (which banned racial restrictions on voting), in
1870.
If you have not done so, please
read the above referenced article above which lays much groundwork in
understanding the significance of what I am laying out here.
This was the 13th
amendment. 13 is the biblical number for rebellion. Notice also that the
amendment to follow, the 14th amendment which holds the title "civil
rights” happened in 1868, which is exactly 100 years before Martin Luther King
received the “head wound” putting on “pause” the civil rights movement, which
has recently been “resurrected” under newly elected President Barak Obama (I
explain this in detail in the above referenced articles).
Here is what Wikipedia, a secular source, has to say
about the time period:
* The new social
movements of the sixties, such as the Black Power and anti-Vietnam
war movements in the U.S, the May 1968 insurrection in France, and Women's Liberation
throughout the Western world, inspired some LGBT activists to become more
radical,[14] and the Gay Liberation Movement
emerged towards the end of the decade.
Let’s take a look at the year count Wikipedia
attributes historically to this movement:
The American Civil Rights Movement
(1955–1968): Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_Civil_Rights_Movement_(1955%E2%80%931968)
1955 –
1968 = 13 years

May I also mention that Wikipedia notes these events
happening on February 1st:
1968 - Vietnam
War: The execution of Viet Cong officer Nguyen
Van Lem by South Vietnamese National
Police Chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan is
videotaped and photographed by Eddie Adams.
This image helped build opposition to
the Vietnam War.
And:
2005
- Canada
introduces the Civil Marriage Act,
making Canada the fourth country to sanction same-sex
marriage.
This is not to say God does not love his creation, or
have a plan of redemption. It was Jehovah that lovingly took his people out of
“slavery” from Egypt. It was Boaz, as a model of Jesus, that gave his “shoe”
redeeming Ruth. It was 13 colonies that had a miraculous Revolution, in the
concept of “all men are created equal…”
Yet, we are going about this the wrong way. The Civil
Rights movement is an Abomination. Like the Prodigal we must go home in
submission, not rebellion. We cannot demand our rights. In the
United States we think this is the way, our heritage. It is not!!! Jesus is
our heritage! Only by Him can we be set free!
Exodus is the most famous book and the origination of
freedom from slavery (all races, men & women & from all sin). Here is
the way:
Exodus
21
1
"These are the laws you are to set before them:
Hebrew
Servants
2 "If
you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh
year, he shall go free, without paying anything. 3 If
he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she
is to go with him. 4 If
his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and
her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
5 "But
if the servant declares, 'I love my master and my wife
and children and do not want to go free,' 6 then
his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the
doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant
for life.
And:
Hebrews
5:7-10 (New International Version)
7During the days of
Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and
tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his
reverent
submission. 8Although he was a son,
he learned obedience from what he suffered 9and, once made
perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
10and was designated by
God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
John
8:35-36 (King James Version)
35And the servant
abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36If
the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Ruth
4
7Now this was the
manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing,
for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his
neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.
8Therefore the kinsman
said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
13So
Boaz took Ruth, and she was his
wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a
son.
Revelation
7:9-10 (King James Version)
9After this I beheld,
and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds,
and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10And cried with a loud
voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the
Lamb.
May
Jehovah’s loving peace and mercy be on us all…
Maranatha,
