Life in the New Covenant, Part 29 - Rick Joyner
Leo Tolstoy described prophecy as “a spark that is lit in a dry wood.” He said, “It will burn and burn until the wood, hay, and stubble is consumed.” He used slavery as an example of this in history. Slavery was found in virtually every nation and tribe on earth until it was clearly articulated in human language that it was evil. He said that spark was lit by the novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which so powerfully described the evils of slavery that it became intolerable in civilized nations until it was eradicated by every available means, including civil war.
The most prominent of America’s Founding Fathers was George Washington. He wrote, "There is not a man living that wishes more sincerely than I do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery."
