Chicago Pastor Urges Mayor to Remove George Washington Statue, Rename Park
Pamela Geller ^ | August 18, 2017 | staff

President Donald Trump, post-Charlottesville, warned the tearing down of statues would lead to a widespread call for more monuments to be uprooted, moved and removed — and despite being scoffed, he’s right. Now a pastor in Chicago has called on Mayor Rahm Emanuel to remove a monument of George Washington that’s stood in teh city for years.

When will it end?

Is this Obama’s “God damn America” Chicago pastor?

The tactic is getting old. If you don't ban the Confederate flag, you are a racist. Next, if you don't get rid of Robert E. Lee, you are a racist. Next, if you don't get rid of George Washington, you are a racist. Keep moving the goal posts.

Enough already!

I wonder if they’re still going to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Seems like Trump may have short-circuited that plan.

No legitimate pastor called for this.

Eventually, they will be demanding the renaming of every Black and their relatives (alive and dead) named Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and all the military related statues, etc. They will demand new birth certificates, changes to all public records, revamping tombstones for the departed, etc. All at public expense, of course.

Every building named after those same names.

Every street named after those same names.

Every city/town named after those same names.

Every county named after those same.

Renaming Washington state and Washington DC.

There is no stopping point for this madness. Every time a city or county or state gives in, they smell more blood in the water and the feeding frenzy intensifies.

They might do this.

Where will it end? Once the statues commemorating or berating our history are gone, then the libraries will go. That is a given. Libraries are almost gone now and with the internet given to the liberal gestapo, the end will be when we all listen to the same things, believe the same things and no dissent for any any reason is allowed.

That’s when it will end ....unless someone calls us to arms. That may delay the immigration and the destruction of history. But we will have to be called to end it.

I am ready.

Aside from the racist part(which is an underlying motivation no doubt), all these statues being removed or talked about being removed, is rather biblically prophetic.

Seeking to remove ‘monuments’ isn’t a foreign concept in the bible.
Israel was to do destroy things others built and erected when they were in the Promised Land.

I would wonder how many would mourn the ‘Washington Monument’ coming down when its coming down or being removed, may be a true sign for rejoicing and praising our Creator and Redeemer.

That monument, named after the President being discussed in this article, can be shown to be an occultic symbol- same with that pregnant dome they call the capitol building in DC.
ancient sun worship..
sort of like the version that sites at the vatican.

People who may not even have a belief in the Elohim of Israel, are on a path of trying to get rid of statues, monuments (even an obelisk-mini washington monument-in New Orleans) in a way Israel was called to do. and maybe people with a belief in the Elohim of Israel see this as an attack- instead of a picture of what Israel was called to do in the Promised Land. being performed by people who have no idea.

Tearing down and removing statues may not seem like a good thing to those who see it as a destruction of the USA or washing of its history, but pilgrims and sojourners and strangers in this world, may be blessed to see what He is doing by these acts of others. Signs and messages to His people.

He is Sovereign after all!

And this nation full of believers may have people so willing to protest or protect the removal of icons or idols made with man’s hands
that have:
mouths but cannot speak,
eyes but can’t see. ears but can’t hear. noses but can’t hear.hands but can’t feel. feet but cannot walk. Paraphrase of part of Psalm 115.

If one can get past the worldly racial motivation for these removals- and what appears to be a natural attack on the history and foundation of the USA-
There is quite a natural and spiritual biblical prophetic message of statues/monuments being removed in ‘America’.

I recall one study that ‘america’ can be broken down to mean ‘kingdom of heaven’ when studying the languages.
If one accepts that premise, on a nations level, than monuments and statues being removed in the ‘kingdom of heaven’ is not a surprise at all..
just tough to see ‘race’ being a motivation- but He is Sovereign.
That may be one way He gets some people to ‘move’ from where they are, to do what He has ordained them to do.
He is Sovereign !

But since that would be a lot of trouble, million dollar reparation check will suffice.
