When the people return to the Lord, God’s healing and comfort will come to America. The United States will wake up, arise, and welcome a greater revival!

Editor’s Note: Cindy Jacob: Sukkot – A Celebration of Sukkot, Celebrating the Glory of God!
By : Robert Heidler Date : October 4, 2020
The climax of the cycle of God’s blessing is on the Feast of Tabernacles. This is when we enter God’s presence without fear. We know that every obstacle in our lives is removed. This is a time to experience God’s glory and fellowship with Him.
The Meaning of Sukkot
In Leviticus 23: 34-43 , God instructs people how to celebrate this holiday. God wants them to go out to the countryside, cut off the branches of the palm trees, the branches of the dense trees, and the willow branches by the river, take these branches home, build sheds, or temporarily shelter. Sukkot is the Hebrew name for this festival.
God instructed them: “Live in temporary shelters for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in such shelters so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
When God’s people came out of Egypt, they lived in a sukkot, and God told them to build a tabernacle for him so that His glory could come and live among them. (Exd. 25: 8 ) Therefore, the Feast of Tabernacles celebrates when they live in the shed, the glory of God lives with his people.
Generally speaking, this festival celebrates the following five tents:
- he First Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle of Moses: Exodus 33-35 describes Moses established the tabernacle, when he finished, the glory of God filled the tabernacle, and lived among the people of God in Him. Because the glory of God lives among them, they enjoy perfect provision. The manna fell from the sky every day for them to eat, their shoes were not worn out, and God met their every need. They are also fully protected and enjoy complete health. None of them is weak, sick or feeble. The glory of God brings God’s blessing!
- The Second Tabernacle: David’s Tabernacle: David set up a tabernacle for the ark and surrounded it with 247 praise, and the glory of God came. In Psalm 63:2 , David wrote about this tabernacle: “I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.“ God’s blessing poured out and the Israelites enjoyed unbelievable Prosper and defeated every enemy.
- The Third Tabernacle: Jesus: John 1:14: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Jesus—God lives Among his people—show His glory, release life, healing and salvation!
- The Fourth Tabernacle: The Church: Acts 15:16-17 describes the rebuilding of David’s tabernacle. God wants the church to be the place where the throne of God’s glory will be established in the praise of His people. When the church completes this call, the glory of God comes, and great blessings are released on the ground.
- The Fifth Tabernacle: The Eternal Tabernacle: Revelation 21:3-4 says: And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Isaiah 4:5 says: ” Over everything the glory will be a canopy.”
The five tabernacles mentioned above all have one thing in common: in the tabernacle, God is with us—His glory—to live among men! From the place where God is present, God’s life and blessings are released to His people. That is the focus of Sukkot!
Experience His Glory
In order to understand the tabernacle, we must understand the glory of God. When we talk about glory, what do we mean?
Glory is the tangible and sensible manifestation of God’s presence. God always appears in every place, but at certain times, He reveals His presence in a way that our senses can recognize. In Moses’ tabernacle, the glory of God was revealed in shining clouds; on Mount Sinai, it was revealed by thunder and fire; sometimes God’s presence was evidenced by miracles and power actions, as in Elijah Feel the presence of God in a still small voice.
God uses many ways to show His presence. Whenever you feel the presence of God in a tangible way, you are experiencing His glory. In the presence of God, everything will change! In the presence of God, we find salvation, repentance, power, healing, supply, and fulfillment.
God did not make His glory a rare event. He wants us to seek His presence and live in His presence, so that His power and goodness can become our continuous experience!
Celebrate His Glory
The Feast of Tabernacles is a celebration of God’s glory, a time to remember His past glory, and a time to seek His face and experience His present glory. This is the time to call on God to pour out His glory freshly in the new year.
This week of the year, God wants His people to be with Him in the Tent of Meeting, and He promises special blessings to those who do so.
The Feast of Tabernacles is a time to delight in God, and it is also a time to celebrate God’s beauty. Leviticus 23:40: rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days“ Deuteronomy 16:14-15: “Be joyful at your festival—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites, the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns. For seven days celebrate the festival to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete.”
Part of celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles is to bring gifts as an expression of gratitude to God. Deuteronomy 16:16-17 says: “No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed: Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.Do not see you empty-handed. “ When we express our gratitude by giving, our hearts were opened to receive more. The Feast of Tabernacles is also a time to celebrate God’s living among His people. God wants His glory to be part of our daily experience. God is with the Israelites in the wilderness tent. He lives on earth through Jesus, and today He continues to live in us through His spirit! When you celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles, call on the glory of God to come and live with you. Here are a few ways to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles:
- Separate time and “live with God”
- Find time to meet God
- Take some time to relax and read the word of God
- Get along with family and friends
- Share His beautiful testimony
- Eat your favorite food
- Thank Him for blessing you
- Especially if you have children, build a shed or temporary shelter
Sukkot refers to any form of temporary shelter: it can be a tent, a unilateral shed, etc. It can be made of branches, fibers, wood or other materials. It’s design depicts the scene of the Israelites living in a temporary shelter when they left Egypt. It also depicts God coming and staying with them in the temporary shelter.
If you don’t have space to build a full-size sukkah, you can make a model sukkah. If you don’t have space to build an outdoor sukkah, you can use sheets and chairs to build a sukkah in your living room and let the whole family enter it. Have a picnic while telling them stories about the Tabernacle of God. You can also sleep in it, or even have a party in it, but no matter what you do, you must include three things:
- Remember that God lives with people
- Enjoy the joy of celebrating with God
- Look forward to the glory of God, ask God to live with you, and look forward to His presence visiting you when you seek Him!
Although you can celebrate this festival as a beautiful ceremony to commemorate God’s past deeds, it is also very meaningful, and you may feel blessed and satisfied after it is over. But if you only celebrate it as a ritual, you still lack the greatest blessing, because we have missed the incredible fact that God really wants to meet us in these celebrations.
Therefore, I encourage you to seek and expect the awesome presence of God to meet you when celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles!
Jesus’ Promise to the Feast of Tabernacles
John 7:37-38 says: “ On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
It is important to understand this passage of Jesus . One of the key elements of the Feast of Tabernacles is watering .
Every year on the Feast of Tabernacles, the high priest would make a prophetic move. He would draw water from Siloam Pool, bring it to the temple, and pour it on the altar. This symbolizes praying to the Lord for rain on the earth, and also symbolizing praying to the Lord for the outpouring of His spirit. This “spiritual rain” refers to Joel 2:28 : “I will pour out My spirit on all flesh, you Your children will prophesy, your elderly will have dreams, and the young will have visions.”
his action of taking water from Siloam Pond and sprinkling it is repeated every day of the festival, and then, on the last day of the festival-the “biggest day”-it reaches the climax of the whole week.
When the priest took water from Siloam Pool and brought it to the temple, a large crowd was crowded. The courtyard of the temple was full of people eager to watch this important ceremony. When the priest stood by the altar preparing to water the water, the crowd suddenly all Quieted down.
When the priest started to water, Jesus stood up and said loudly, “If anyone is thirsty, come to me and drink! He who believes in me will flow out of rivers of living water from his belly.”
That was the climax and the purpose of all festivals! When we walk with God and spend His annual cycle, He wants to take us to a place where we can experience His current life!
This is why God has given us the day He has set, when we approach Jesus, He will release His life to us.
- He wants to remind us of His great deeds in the past to build our faith.
- He wants to remind us of His promises to the future to give us visions.
- He wants to accomplish the spiritual work in us so as to break the power of Satan.
- He wants us to be connected to the cycle of His life so that we can receive increasing blessings!
It is not a sin to miss the days set by God, because God did not want them to be a law. The New Testament teaches us not to let others judge how we celebrate (see 1 Corinthians 2:16 ). Getting the details of each celebration right is not the point. The important thing is meeting with God.
The day God has set allows our lives to be in focus with His timetable. It can break the enemy’s strategy of opposing us and keep us away from God. It allows us to “synchronize” with God’s rhythm, helps us not miss the window of opportunity, and allows God to lead us to a new level!

Last year Jeremiah had a dream when he fasted and prayed for the 2020 election. In his dream, he saw President Trump participating in the Boston Marathon. The crowds along the way did not support him; many people laughed at him, even spit at him, without any escort. When he ran to about 100 feet from the finish line, he fell to the ground exhausted, obviously having some heart issue and couldn’t get up. The crowd was ecstatic and cheered. Suddenly two old women, one with a cane and the other with a walker, walked out of the crowd to help President Trump. In my dream, I thought, how could these two women support the exhausted Trump? It seemed impossible, but in an instant it seemed that a strong wind helped the two old women lift up President Trump and reach the finish line. Vice President Pence, Franklin Graham, and Donald Trump Jr. and other family members comfort him at the finish line. Without the help of those two old women, he could not reach the finish line.
Jeremiah sensed that President Trump would win the 2020 election but he needed God’s mighty intervention. These two old women represent the church of prayer in 2020. Without their help, President Trump could not overcome the attacks and battles of these liberals. The future of America is in the hands of the “Baby boomer” generation. “Baby boomers” should rise up and pray, mobilize all churches to fast and pray for President Trump.
Veronika West (Veronika West) on October 2
God gave Veronica a dream in August of this year. In the dream, she saw President Trump wrestling with God (like Jacob wrestling with God). He was not only asking God to bless America, but also contending with God for his own life and destiny. Suddenly, she saw Satan accuse Trump in the court of heaven, asking God to allow him to take the lives of his family. Then she saw a golden censer on each side of a scale, and heard a voice saying: “The nations are at a turning point…”. Then she heard that the enemy were fighting for the legal right to take Trump’s life and destroy the land. But suddenly, she saw a woman wearing a crown and sackcloth wailing and crying, confessing her sins and repenting and asking God for forgiveness. The woman shouted: “Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!” Suddenly the whole court was filled with fragrance, and the scales gradually tilted to one side. At this time, Veronica saw Satan and his minions return to the courtroom, shouting: “Judgement! Judgement! Judgement!” The woman in sackcloth also cried out: “Justice!Justice! Justice!” Satan’s accusation was silenced instantly.
Suddenly, the dream scene changed. Veronica saw Trump kneel down during the battle. The woman in sackcloth ran towards Trump like a church bride, knelt beside him, and cried out for God’s mercy and justice, saying, “We will not let You go, unless You bless us and our country!” At this moment, Veronica saw the church and Trump stand up and she heard these words again, “FEAR NOT!! FOR HE SHALL BE BENT BUT NOT BROKEN, BOWED DOWN BUT NOT DESTROYED”!
The American church needs to stand up, fight and pray!

A dream about President Trump in September 2020
Two weeks ago, I had a strange dream about President Trump. In this dream, I was in a room in the White House filled with many of his supporters. At that time, a weird intruder entered this room maliciously. He is dressed strangely and very tall.
I went to the president who was sleeping in bed and woke him up. I told him, ” President, strangers are here .” Then he sat up and told me that he was thirsty and wanted to drink Pepsi. At that time, this dream seemed strange to me, and I didn’t know how to deal with it-until I just heard that the president and his wife were diagnosed with the Coronavirus.
Malicious strangers are this virus, and the president was caught off guard by the virus. When the president asked to drink Pepsi in a dream, I didn’t understand what it meant until now. Pepsi was originally developed by a pharmacist in North Carolina, and is considered a medicinal drink to increase energy. The president is seeking treatment in a dream .
I believe we are being called to pray for President Trump. I believe he will be fine, and when we pray, the wave of healing will flow to him. He will be full of energy, and the new wind will give him smooth sailing.
This intruder may have invaded, but it has been exposed, and God will act in His way. Many mockers want the president to be hurt, but if the enemy wants to hurt him, God will reverse it.
A dream about President Trump in August 2016
I remember when the president ran for the 2016 general election, I got another dream. In this dream, I saw an “assassin” spirit in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. This spirit came to oppose the political forces of our time.
In the past few months, I have been looking at Abraham Lincoln’s pictures and even painting him. I think Donald Trump is very similar to Abraham Lincoln. He is a controversial figure, but God created him for this moment. He is not loved by everyone, and many people hate him. Not everyone loves Lincoln, he was eventually assassinated by an actor. For four years, I have been praying for him, praying against the spirit of assassination.
As we have witnessed during his tenure, many people have tried to get rid of him-the Mueller investigation, impeachment and now the Coronavirus. No one can succeed because whether you like him or not – Trump has a destiny from God. God will be able to use His instrument successfully. Even now, the same spirit is trying to get rid of him. But I believe in the prophecy – he will have two terms.
A dream about President Trump in 2017
My third dream was in 2017. In this dream, I saw Donald Trump holding gold in his hands, and he gave the gold to the American middle class. People who got gold were full of joy. From this dream, I know that the economic recovery will return to the United States, and the people who appear in this dream will experience new wealth.
When the Coronavirus pandemic happened in March, the US economy at that time was very good for Americans, but because of the epidemic, the economy fell into recession. Since then, there have been many economic recoveries, and Donald Trump has always been a vessel used by God to increase American wealth. Even when he is re-elected for the second term, the American people will have more wealth.
The enemy tried his best to get rid of him, but I declared it would not succeed. God will make Trump full of vitality, and fresh wind will come to him, so that the tasks God has prepared for him will be successfully completed.
The church needs to come and pray. God will use our prayers to help his destiny be fulfilled.

Foreword:
I encourage brothers and sisters to pray with scriptures. This is the most powerful weapon. Let us use God’s own words to remind this faithful God how we long to see His will be fulfilled!
- “The Turning Point ” has come to the US President Trump and First Lady Melania, who have been diagnosed with Coronavirus, pray for their quick recovery. I also pray that in his sickness, President Trump will surrender to the Lord with a more humble and softened heart, and hold on to God’s entrustment; and also win the hearts of the people with humility and tenderness! Many people have argued that the Trumps’ suffering from the Coronavirus is the biggest crisis in his political career, but God wants us to announce it as the biggest turning point!
It is interesting when God is talking about turning points, another kind of “turning points” also appeared. In the vision, the Trumps and his team were hurried to the airport with their luggage, as if they were fleeing. Yes, because the enemy is chasing them!
They disembarked and thought they had arrived at their destination, but they did not expect to be taken to another gate by a man in a neat uniform and boarded the plane again. They kept boarding and transferring, not knowing where they would be taken, they were at a loss and tired. Suddenly, the man in uniform said to them: You have arrived at your destination! When they walked out of the gate, they saw a few big characters: The Throne of God!
God’s greatest intention is to lead Trump and the entire team to His throne through the violent turbulent situation! When this group of people humbled themselves before God, recognized that they have no help except for God, and were completely captured by God, God will gain the entire United States because of them!

Pray for United States: Executive Order of Patriotic Education-Committee 1776
【Current Events: President Trump announced on September 17 that he will soon sign an executive order to implement patriotic education called the ” 1776 Commission” . This is to stop the school’s long-term teaching of inculcating hatred and discrediting American history to children, and to love the United States and understand American history correctly.
The demonstrations and riots in the past few months gave us awareness that many young Americans are so angry about living in the United States. The root problem lies in American education. When American traditional values and historical knowledge were slowly diluted by the education circle, many extreme ideas easily captured most of the American campuses. The abolition of the traditional concept of the family, the abolition of the police and prisons, the multiple sex selection changes in young children, the abolition of heterosexuality, the abolition of capitalism (free economy ), and the replacement of socialism (government-controlled economy ) are essential for the progressive party of the Democratic Party to pass this thought to the younger generation.
“Black Lives Matters” Added into the Educational Curriculum
The National Education Association (NEA) and the California Teachers Association (CTA) in the new school year approved a “Black Lives Matter” ( BLM ) K-12 curriculum. Their strategy against racism or unfairness is actually to create more hatred and divisions and train children to be radical and incapable of thinking.
American Patriotic Values
What’s exciting is that President Trump’s patriotic education reform plan will teach our younger generation to be grateful for living in the United States, rather than living here with hatred.
American patriotism is fundamentally different from the patriotic education of many totalitarian countries. American patriotism does not love a certain political party, nor does it want to exalt and praise a certain leader. American patriotism loves a set of American nation-building values, that is, the concepts of equality, justice, honesty, integrity, courage, and hard work rooted in the Christian faith. It is time for education to return to the idea of respecting traditional values.

Pray For Israel: Celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles, Which was Sealed by the Plague, is Still Worshiping Joyfully
【Current Event: Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. (Habakkuk 3:17-19)
This is the closing sentence of an exile song written by the prophet Habakkuk during the time of King Jehoiakim of ancient Judah (609-597 BC). Although 2800 years have passed, this ancient Jewish poem is the best greeting to encourage the Jews on the Feast of Tabernacles this year.
From the evening of October 2 to the evening of the 10th, Israel ushered in a very different festival of Tabernacles plus the eighth day of Torah.
Due to the Coronavirus epidemic, the daily rate of new infections is still high. On Friday night before Sukkot, there are still more than five people infected in a single day. The government announced that the second nationwide lockdown will be extended to October 14. Citizens can only spend the festival with a single nuclear family in their own shed. Of course, the annual “Zion” Parade must be cancelled. At the same time, due to the suspension of flights and entry restrictions due to the epidemic, international Christian pilgrims and the tourists are unable to travel to Israel. In the past, during the Festival of Tabernacles, the scene of packed tourists was no longer there. On the same day, the Israeli Minister of Tourism announced his resignation.
The second wave of the epidemic is raging, people’s health is seriously threatened, the nationwide closure is extended during the autumn festival, the tourism industry is dying, the minister’s resignation is announced on the eve of Sukkot, the economy is sluggish, the people’s livelihood is difficult, the coalition government’s political parties are incompatible, and the Prime Minister Natanyahu demonstrated constantly… Israel in reality is like an autumn wind, frightened, confused, disappointed, complaining, and even angry, fighting.
Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” (Psalm 43:5)
The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) is the Lord’s festival, the last of the Lord’s “Appointed time” that God has ordained the Israelites to observe. “All the people of Israel must live in the shed for seven days, so that for generations to come know that when I brought the Israelites out of Egypt, I made them live in the shed.” At the same time, God also commanded the Israelites to live, rejoicing in Tabernacles.
In the age of Moses, the presence, glory and power of God through the “Tent of Meeting” were always shackled among the people of Israel. Regardless of their departure and stay, they all used the cloud of glory displayed on the “Tent of Meeting”. index.
In the days of King David, David set up a tabernacle for the ark. Priests and Levites worked in shifts to surround the ark of God 24 hours a day, seven days a week (foretelling the presence of God) ) The release of thanksgiving, praise, and worship, as a result, the glory of God comes and the power is revealed, and the throne of God is also established in the praise of the Israelites.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
During the Feast of Tabernacles, which was forced to be quarantined due to a severe epidemic this year, Jerusalem has a special landscape: the International Christian Embassy in Jerusalem (ICEJ). Live the “Prepare the Way” for the seven-day Sukkot meeting. The Mount of Olives is the place where the Bible prophecies that the Lord Jesus will reign as King! This is like a sign, a prophetic act: Yeshua, who will be king again, has a tabernacle in Jerusalem and Israel. He will live with the Israelites and be the king of Israel, and the Israelites will be the Messiah. People of Ya Yeshua!

Critical Event: The Chinese Government Tampered with the Bible and Distort the Truth
【Current events: Recently, the official Chinese textbook “Professional Ethics and Law” has been uploaded on the Internet, which adapted a part of the Bible, saying that Jesus killed the adulterous woman as follows:
Jesus once said to the crowd who were angry about killing a woman who had committed a crime: “If any of you is not at fault, come forward and kill her.” After hearing this, everyone stopped moving forward. When everyone retreated, Jesus took the stone and shot the woman to death, and said, “I am also a sinner. But if the law can only be enforced by a sinless person, the law will only die.”
The above text has been approved by China’s official education department for official publication in early 2018. The recent exposure of this passage has caused strong dissatisfaction among all Christians in the world or those who know something about the “Bible”: they think this is a blatant and malicious tampering with the “Bible” and blasphemy against Jesus. Jesus is the Son of God. He was incarnate to save sinners in the world, but in this textbook, Jesus was fabricated to say that He “is also a sinner” and was slandered as a “he picked up a stone and killed this woman.” Murderer.
The Ten Commandments are Deleted. Sunday School has nothing to do with the Lord
In fact, the CCP government has been vigorously cracking down on minors’ beliefs and banning Sunday schools. Even if classes are allowed, “Sunday School” is named “study class”, and the content of children’s classes has been changed. All references to “Lord” have been deleted, even the “Genesis” and the first four ten commandments The content about worshiping God has also been deleted, and children are only taught “Don’t murder,” “Don’t commit adultery,” “Don’t steal,” etc. Teachers call this “motto” instead of “commandments.” The children did not know that they were reading the words in the “Bible”. Towards the end of the course, the teacher led the children to sing the national anthem.
This Chinese-style variant falsifying religion has always existed, and it has become more and more intense. Christians regard it as a more serious and dangerous means of persecution. At the beginning of 2018, the CCP proposed to publish the “Bible” revised and compiled by the CCP as part of its “sinicization” policy. This compiled “Bible” will incorporate Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist classics, and will also embody “socialist core values.”
There will be Apostasy in the End
Such malicious tampering of the Bible not only occurs in China, but also has many precedents.
- The dictator re-edited the “Bible”: During the time of Nazi Germany, Hitler published a Nazi version of the “Bible”, changing the “Ten Commandments of Moses” to “The Twelve Commandments of Nazis” and adding “Respect your head and master! Happy to be The people work and sacrifice. This is what the Lord requires of us!”
- Message Bible : Rewritten by Paterson (homosexual endorsers), published in 2002. It is not a biblical text or a literal translation, but a free translation of personal understanding and rewritten in modern English. In 2015, it was criticized by Church Watch.com as a “new age” Bible and a pagan Bible, and it was extremely misleading.
- The New World Translation of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible : Many scriptures were tampered with in order to adapt to their own doctrines, and there are seriously misleading translations, such as “I and the father are one “Was changed to “I and my father are closely united”. In some places, wrong Greek translations were introduced, and translations assisted by psychics were introduced.
- The Problem with Mormonism also Lies in its Tampering and Distortion of the Bible, and it has Compiled the Book of Mormon: One of the fallacies of the Book of Mormon is that Jesus was born by the union of the Father and Mary; belief in Jesus is God, but any one can also become gods.
“That day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3b) Satan releases confusion by changing the scriptures of the Bible, allowing the spirit of deception and witchcraft to control the hearts of people by the false words of the scriptures, and make people miss the truth. But the Word of God is alive and illuminates the heart, and all fallacies cannot stand before the truth.

Pray for the First Nation People: Waiting for the Public Apology From the President of the United States
【Current affairs: We have been praying that the US government will publicly apologize to the natives. On September 26 this year, at the “The Return” call to gather in Washington, DC. The current “International Religious Freedom” ambassador, Sam Brownback, used a pre-recorded video to make it public. Read a letter of apology to the indigenous people. Aboriginal leader Dr. Nigiel Bigpond accepted the apology.
Undisclosed Letter of Apology
In fact, this letter of apology was made in 2009 by Sam Brownback, the then Senator of Kansas State, in order to “formally apologize for the U.S. government’s past bad policies towards the natives of this land and reiterate our A commitment to heal the wounds of the (indigenous) ethnic group and establish and restore better relationships.”
The Senate passed this resolution as an independent bill in 2009. The House of Representatives incorporated it into part of the then defense budget bill. Therefore, the version signed by President Obama has been downplayed. It is not a direct apology on behalf of the government, but “apologizes to all natives on behalf of the American people to express the many cases of violence, abuse and neglect caused to natives.” The resolution also includes Disclaimer, such as: Any legal claims against the United States are not authorized or supported. The resolution also did not resolve any claims.
Waiting for the President’s Public Apology
After this letter of apology was signed, the U.S. government did not publicly read it to the natives. Some indigenous people are deeply dissatisfied with this. Successive U.S. presidents have publicly apologized to other ethnic groups such as black Africans and Japanese for injustices, but so far, no U.S. president has publicly apologized to the natives.
Although Dr. Nigiel Bigpond accepted the apology from Ambassador Brownback, he still expects the US government to publicly apologize to the indigenous tribes. Dr. Bigpond mentioned that in 2006, God gave him a prophecy: When the President of the United States began to publicly apologize to the natives of this place, God’s hand will heal the United States and come across the world, and this land will also be healed. He prayed for America, hoping that healing and restoration would come soon!
