“Thanksgiving Day in America”
By
Alton B. (Don) Billingsley
The LORD God spoke the following WARNING through His
servant Moses to His people Israel—
“And they (
curses
) shall be upon you for a SIGN and a WONDER, and on
your descendants forever, because you did NOT SERVE the LORD your God
with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything!”
Deuteronomy 28:45-47
“America in Bible Prophecy”
T
he last Thursday in November in each year has been set aside as a National Day of
Thanksgiving to God for this great country that has been blessed with such rich and bountiful
blessings by Him as no nation has ever been blessed (
Genesis 48:9-20; 49:22-26
).
The dates for its observance have varied—going
back to the first President of this Nation, George
Washington—
and even further back to the
pilgrims who first landed in this country
.
All of whom gave credit and thanksgiving to
God Almighty for this land of religious freedom
and the bountiful blessings within it.
The Birth of America
The birth of this nation began with the
establishment of the colonies who had sailed
from Britain in 1620.
History records this was the beginning birth pangs of what came to be the United States of
America.
