Joshua's sword changed a land filled with the oppressive tyranny of pedophiles, perjurers, prostitutes, partying, greedy, gluttonous, thieving, extorting, hating, blaming, defiling and abusing into a land of the responsible, kind, accountable, generous and reverent. This society of free association, speech and religion where social needs were worked out at the community center rather than dictated by national government was the model that the great thinkers of Christian Civilization (principally John Locke) determined to be God's ideal. This social system that challenged men to rise to their God given level of responsibility is described in the last verse of the book of Judges as: "...everyone did what was right in his own eyes." When Thomas Paine wrote about the logical, spiritual and moral imperative of establishing such a social system on the American Continent, the Founding Fathers pledged their lives, fortunes and SACRED honors to accomplish this fulfilment of Gods purpose. Twenty first century social science completely obscures the spiritual motivation and replaces it with the secular; however, a careful observation of the founding documents reveals that every action was to fulfil what the Founders believed to be God's purpose for mankind. Subsequently, Adams wrote, "Our constitution is only for a religious and moral people, it is wholly inadequate to the governance of any other." After long (4 years) hoping it wouldn't be necessary, the Founders had grafted a republican government onto the civil society they had established, hoping it would not suffocate the personal accountability and responsibility of the citizens--knowing full well that if the civil society atrophied that the government would become oppressive. Foreseeing that inevitability, Jefferson wrote, "it is necessary for the tree of liberty to be periodically refreshed with the blood of patriots." Therefore it is the goal of the Sword of Joshua to "shed the blood" to purify the land and restore the civil society upon which our freedoms, prosperity and very form of government depend.
