The Great British historian, Lord Macaulay,
predicted the future unraveling of the United States economy in a letter
written in May 1857. Macaulay’s prediction was based on his analysis of
American institutions. Discussing the life of Thomas Jefferson with an
American author, Macaulay wrote, “You are surprised to learn that I have
not a high opinion of Mr. Jefferson, and I am surprised at your
surprise. I am certain that I never wrote a line, and … uttered a word
indicating an opinion that the supreme authority in a state ought to be
entrusted to the majority of citizens [counted] by the head; in other
words, to the poorest and most ignorant part of society.”
Macaulay pointed to the French Revolution and to the
tendency of democratic movements to despoil the rich. “You may think
that your country enjoys an exemption from these evils,” Macaulay wrote
to his American correspondent. “I will frankly own to you that I am of a
very different opinion. Your fate I believe to be certain, though it is
deferred by a physical cause. As long as you have a boundless extent of
fertile and unoccupied land, your laboring population will be far more
at ease than the laboring population of the Old World, and, while that
is the case, the Jefferson politics may continue to exist without
causing any fatal calamity.”
What the Bible says about light and seed
The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.
The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.” Matthew 13:24,25.
