If you are talking about the rally Glen Beck held at the Nation's Capital a few years back - then yes it was a large rally. However, it was half the size of the 9/12 rally a year earlier. I participated in both rallies and Beck's was definitely smaller. However, this does not diminish its importance. We need to call this nation to repentance and to reclaim the mantle of "Christian Nation". We have turned our back on the author of our freedom and republic and are heading down the slippery slope to ruin and His judgment. Without getting into a major discussion trace the growth of the "social statistics" since the Supreme Court removed God from the schools in the early 1960s. We are a society in decay and under the judgment of God and Glen Beck was seeking to awaken America.

No, I said the Stand in the Gap Rally. It was held October 4th, 1997.

The Park Service played political games, and said at the time that they "no longer gave crowd estimates."

Since then, it has become fairly easy to determine the crowd size despite their shenanigans.

The Stand in the Gap Rally was approximately 1.2 Million men.

I had heard that some people erroneously thought the pictures of the Stand in the Gap Rally were of Beck's rally.

I agree that Beck's rally was very important. I believe, as you do, that God will recognize and bless our nation again if we come to repentance. He did that with Israel, and He does that with us as individuals.
