PRIDE AND PROVIDENCE
George Washington and Abraham Lincoln used the word Providence to describe their God but so did Adolf Hitler and medieval occultists. Lets explore this mystery.
In What God Does the United States Trust?
In the United States, every year, there is a National Day of Prayer, where Americans reaffirm that prayer guides and strengthens the Nation with humility and gratitude towards a “firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence”. For instance Donald Trump did this on May 6th, 2020 - Source
Every Founding Father was obsessed with the idea of protecting Divine Providence as it was written in the last paragraph of ‘The Declaration of Independence’ on July 4th, 1776:
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
George Washington never said Jesus Christ was his God. Bud he did refer to God as the ‘Grand Architect and 'Divine Providence'.
“Glorious indeed has been our Contest: glorious, if we consider the Prize for which we have contended, and glorious in its Issue; but in the midst of our Joys, I hope we shall not forget that, to divine Providence is to be ascribed the Glory and the Praise.”
—Letter to Reverend John Rodgers, June 11, 1783
Abraham Lincoln doubted the idea that Jesus was God and was a massive Thomas Paine and Voltaire fan who also despised Jesus. Lincoln thought of his work as President as an expression of God’s providence. On November 14th in 1872, J. A. Reed related in a letter to a friend what he claimed President Abraham Lincoln had said to him:
“I hold myself in my present position and with the authority vested in me as an instrument of Providence. I have my own views and purposes, I have my convictions of duty, and my notions of what is right to be done. But I am conscious every moment that all I am and all I have is subject to the control of a Higher Power, and that Power can use me or not use me in any manner, and at any time, as in His wisdom and might may be pleasing to Him.”

In his Second Inaugural Address, Lincoln addressed the nation with an absolute and resolute dependence upon the sovereignty of divine providence. Given on March 4, 1865, he found the providential rule of God as the overarching reality in the anguish of the Civil War:
“If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him?”
Ok so it seems Divine Providence had nothing to do with Jesus Christ to the past leaders of the United States.
So where does this word come from?
What does it represent?
What divine presence are they trying to reach if it’s not Jesus Christ?
What is Divine Providence?
Everyone has seen the Pyramid with the Eye in the middle because it’s on the back of the American $1 Bill but what most people don’t know is that it’s called the ‘Eye of Providence’.
This should automatically raise some red flags as we all know this symbol is connected to secret societies. So what does the word ‘Providence’ actually mean?
The word Providence is only seen in the King James Bible one time and isn’t mentioned at all in the Wycliffe Bible. It describes the trial of Apostle Paul in Acts 24:2 and it shows the power of ‘Rule & Law’ of man when it accuses the Apostle Paul of heresy against the Sanhedrin.
Why is this important to secret societies? Well their ultimate goal is to resurrect the Temple of Solomon so they can finally say the ‘Messiah from the Bible is here’, and undercut Jesus Christ and Christians. Divine Providence, to the masons / Judaism, ultimately means Divine Judgement set by the Third Temple through the Noahide Laws.
We get more clues on the word ‘Divine Providence’ if we read Albert Pike’s book ‘Morals and Dogma’:
“To find in the BLAZING STAR of five points an allusion to the Divine Providence, is also fanciful; and to make it commemorative of the Star that is said to have guided the Magi, is to give it a meaning comparatively modern. Originally it represented SIRIUS, or the Dog-star, the forerunner of the inundation of the Nile; the God ANUBIS, companion of Isis in her search for the body of OSIRIS, her brother and husband. Then it became the image of HORUS, the son of OSIRIS, himself symbolized also by the Sun, the author of the Seasons, and the God of Time; Son of Isis, who was the universal nature, himself the primitive matter, inexhaustible source of Life, spark of uncreated fire, universal seed of all beings. It was HERMES, also, the Master of Learning, whose name in Greek is that of the God Mercury. It became the sacred and potent sign or character of the Magi, the PENTALPHA, and is the significant emblem of Liberty and Freedom, blazing with a steady radiance amid the weltering elements of good and evil of Revolutions, and promising serene skies and fertile seasons to the nations, after the storms of change and tumult.”
- Morals & Dogma, pg. 15
As you can see Albert Pike connects the Divine Providence to the Blazing Star of 5 points (Pentagram). The Pentagram (Blazing Star) is a sign of ‘God’s Divine Providence’ to the Masons, which is the same Pentagram that satanists use to represent Baphomet / Lucifer.
The Five Points of the Pentagram
One of the earliest depictions of the pentagram star was in a 9th century BC depiction of the Statue of Marduk, the divine father of Babylon, with his servant dragon Mušḫuššu.
This is most likely why we are seeing a big push towards the interest of the Annunaki / Hidden alien technologies. This agenda is focused on tricking people into subconsciously believing Babylon had some sort of positive influence on the world.
The Pentagram in Ancient Egypt was called the Seba, which was one of the most significant Ancient Egyptian symbols. It is the symbol for star, which connotes discipline or learning and is also associated with doorways and gates.
For the Egyptians, stars symbolize the souls of the departed. They are also the symbols of the followers of the god Osiris. The ceilings of early Egyptian temples had images of constellations, stars, and celestial deities.
The stars were considered as followers of Osiris, the god of the dead and the afterlife, as stars were believed to represent the souls of the dead.
The pentagram was also a symbol of the Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras and his disciples, as a way for followers to recognize each other.
They revered the pentagram, as each diagonal divides the two others at the golden ratio. When linear geometrical figures replaced the dots, the combination of Babylonian algebra and Pythagorean arithmetic provided the basis for Greek geometric algebra.
In 1959, Disney did a historical rendition of the Pythagoreans obsession with the Pentagram:
The Coat of Arms of George Washington’s family consists of 3 pentagrams, which would be used as the flag of District of Columbia.
This design was created in 1346 AD in England when the stars were referred to as mullets in heraldry. The 'Blazing Star' pentagram also sits on the streets of Washington DC.
The pentagram (stars) are also used to symbolize each state in the American flag.
Albert Pike associates many different words with ‘Divine providence’ / Blazing Star in Morals and Dogma on pg. 16:
Divine Providence
Blazing Star
Pentagram
Grand Luminary
Enlightens
Prudence
All Seeing Eye
Kabbalah
Notice how Albert Pike says ‘manifested as Light’, which is a direct connection to ‘Lucifer, the Light-bearer’ he also mentions in Morals and Dogma on pg. 321.
The George Washington statue that is currently displayed in the Smithsonian’s National Museum Of American History includes: the Greek god Apollo in his chariot representing American enlightenment and Hercules saving himself and his brother Iphicles.
Here’s a video of a walk around of the exhibit:
Does this mean the Founding Fathers were secretly trying to say 'In lucifer We Trust' when they were referencing ‘In God We Trust’?
Is lucifer the God of the Founding Fathers?
The answer resides in the symbolism of the Pentagram…
It’s not a coincidence that alchemists, sorcerers, occultists, satanists have identified with the pentagram for thousands of years.
Baphomet is a deity which the Knights Templar were accused of worshipping that subsequently became incorporated into various occult and Western esoteric traditions. The name Baphomet appeared in trial transcripts for the Inquisition of the Knights Templar starting in 1307 AD. Baphomet is connected to the pentagon / pentagram / blazing star:
What properly was the sign of the Baffomet, "figura Baffometi", which was depicted on the breast of the bust representing the Creator, cannot be exactly determined ... I believe it to have been the Pythagorean pentagon (Fünfeck) of health and prosperity: ... It is well known how holy this figure was considered, and that the Gnostics had much in common with the Pythagoreans. From the prayers which the soul shall recite, according to the diagram of the Ophite-worshippers, when they on their return to God are stopped by the Archons, and their purity has to be examined, it appears that these serpent-worshippers believed they must produce a token that they had been clean on earth. I believe that this token was also the holy pentagon, the sign of their initiation (τελειας βαφης μετεος).
- "Symbols and Symbolism" in "Freemasons' Quarterly Magazine", 1854
Baphomet was also a representation of the devil / satan:
“Below this figure we read a frank and simple inscription—THE DEVIL. Yes, we confront here that phantom of all terrors, the dragon of all theogonies, the Ahriman of the Persians, the Typhon of the Egyptians, the Python of the Greeks, the old serpent of the Hebrews, the fantastic monster, the nightmare, the Croquemitaine, the gargoyle, the great beast of the Middle Ages, and—worse than all these—the Baphomet of the Templars, the bearded idol of the alchemist, the obscene deity of Mendes, the goat of the Sabbath.”
- Lévi, "The Sabbath of the Sorcerers"
If we break down the word ‘Divine Providence’, we get more clues as to how this word has infiltrated Christianity.
The Divinely Inspired Sorcerers
Prior to the late 1400’s the word ‘divine’ was used differently. It was used to describe Seers, sorcery, alchemists and people who could predict the future.
What’s interesting is that many modern versions of the Bible have the word ‘divine’ spread throughout it but the word is not seen once in the Wycliffe Bible (the first English translated Bible). The Wycliffe Bible was written in 1382 AD and the word ‘divine’ existed in the english language at the time to reference sorcerers / alchemists.
For example lets look at 2 Corinthians 10:4. Here is the ‘New American Standard Version of this verse:
for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.
Now the Wycliffe:
For the arms of our knighthood be not fleshly, but mighty by God to the destruction of strengths [to the destruction of wardings, or strengths].
There’s no reference to the word ‘divine’ in the Wycliffe Bible. To double check lets looks at the translations of the Codex Sinaiticus (Greek) and the Latin Vulgate (Latin):
Greek Codex:
Latin Vulgate:
So even when using a modern translator (Google Translate), it doesn’t pick up the word ‘divine’ for this verse. So the words ‘DIVINE’ and ‘PROVIDENCE’ are nowhere to be found in the Wycliffe Bible, the first english translated Bible.
In 1468 AD, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, a medieval magi who founded Christian Kabbalah, spent several months in Perugia and nearby Fratta. It was there, as he wrote to Ficino, that:
"divine Providence ... caused certain books to fall into my hands. They are Chaldean books ... of Esdras, of Zoroaster and of Melchior, oracles of the magi, which contain a brief and dry interpretation of Chaldean philosophy, but full of mystery.”
It was also in Perugia that Pico was introduced to the mystical Hebrew Kabbalah, which fascinated him, as did the late classical Hermetic writers, such as Hermes Trismegistus.
In 1586 AD, the alchemist John Dee said it was Divine Providence that helped him and Edward Kelley with summoning spirits / necromancy.
So where does the word ‘Divine Providence’ originate from if it’s not from the Bible?
The Kabbalah Influence
Divine Providence in Judaism is referred to as the ‘Shekhinah’, the Holy Spirit in Judaism.
In the Talmud the term comes to be identified as the Divine Presence or indwelling or presence of God in this world. However, by the 12th century AD the term had undergone a radical transformation and has since been used to refer to God's feminine aspect and/or consort.
In the Kabbalah Sefirot, Malkhuth is identified as the Shekhinah. In this view the Shekhinah is understood to be the feminine aspect of God. The tenth Sefirot in the Kabbalah Tree of Life is Malkuth: Sovereignty of the Holy One: Divine Providence: Divine Presence: Seventh Day.
Shekhinah is a figure identified as the Divine Presence and Bride of God. (Aka- Divine Providence or Created Light). In the Bible (note: Shekinah is never mentioned in the Bible) Shekhinah is used as one of the names of God.
This is very similar to the Catholic Church’s Trinity, which associates the divine feminine spirit of Mary with the Holy Spirit. Remember the Bible never associated a feminine spirit to the Holy Spirit.
In the Zohar, Metatron is a manifestation of Shekhinah (I:179b), the first “offspring” of the supernal union of God’s feminine and masculine aspects. Metatron is the architect of sacred geometry and sits with Shekinah at the top of the kabbalah tree of life. He is the Angel of the Supernal Shekinah.
Divine Providence has been discussed by all of the major Jewish philosophers for the last 1000 years. Specifically relating to Jewish Mysticism / Kabbalah.
It began with Nachmanides and Maimonides after the re-establishment of the Jewish community in Jerusalem from the Crusades.
In 1881 AD, the man that helped Theodor Hertzl form Political Zionism was William Hechler. Herzl needed Hechler because he had no access to the German Royal family and international legitimacy.
Hechler, who was the Chaplain of the British Embassy, was the man who introduced Hertzl to the powers of Europe. Hechler regarded Hertzl as "an instrument in the hands of Divine Providence, unfaltering though modest in fulfilling his role, though he himself is unaware of his part in the divine plan"
Adolf Hitler's personal conception of God was as "Providence". For instance, when he survived the assassination attempt of July 20, 1944, he ascribed it to Providence saving him to pursue his tasks. In fact, as time went on, Hitler's conception of Providence became more and more intertwined with his belief in his own inability to make an error of judgment.
Alfred Jodl stated at Nuremberg that Hitler had "an almost mystical conviction of his infallibility as leader of the nation and of the war". Another of his physicians, Dr. Karl Brandt, said that Hitler saw himself as a "Tool of Providence”. He was ... consumed by the desire to give the German people everything and to help them out of their distress. He was possessed by the thought that this was his task and that only he could fulfill it.
Mein Kampf (1924–25), written while Hitler was in prison after his failed 1923 putsch, contains numerous references to "God", "the Creator", "Providence" and "the Lord".
In 1933 AD, the Gestapo (Secret Police of Nazi Germany) and the SS (the organization responsible for the Holocaust) cooperated with a variety of Jewish organizations and efforts (e.g., Hanotaiah Ltd., the Anglo-Palestine Bank, the Temple Society Bank, HIAS, Joint Distribution Committee, Revisionist Zionists, and others), most notably in the Haavurah Agreement, to facilitate the emigration of Jews to Mandatory Palestine.
Until the end of 1937, the Nazi policy for solving the "Jewish Question" emphasized motivating German Jews to emigrate from German territory. During this period, the League of Nations Mandate for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Mandatory Palestine which was supposed to be used as a place of refuge for Jews was "still internationally recognized".
It truly is a brain twister to categorize Kabbalists, Sorcerers, Alchemists, Freemasons, Founding Fathers, Christian Zionists, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Pike, Adolf Hitler, and Martin Luther King in the same group. All of these men were inspired by a ‘Divine Providence’ but it was never Jesus Christ.
Now lets jump to modern day to see who’s using this same terminology.
Trump, Q and Beyond
In the Self Help realm, one the greatest gurus is Napoleon Hill, who wrote the book ‘Think and Grow Rich’. In the book he specifically asks his readers to recite a daily prayer that will build your wealth on Earth:
“O Divine Providence, I ask not for more riches but more wisdom with which to make wiser use of the riches you gave me at birth, consisting in the power to control and direct my own mind to whatever ends I might desire.”
- Napoleon Hill
Donald Trump’s childhood priest from New York was 33 Degree Freemason Norman Vincent Peale, who was also a Self-help guru, who wrote the book ‘The Power of Positive Thinking’.
In 2019, Trump tweeted about being in the Age of Enlightenment:
In 2017, Q referenced how Trump will shift everyone into a New Age Enlightenment:
In 2020, Q referenced how important the Enlightenment was and is:
Albert Pike also mentions that education, instruction and enlightenment are the most certain means by which fanaticism and intolerance can be rendered powerless in his Morals and Dogma:
The term “awakening” is equivalent to “enlightenment”. “Great Awakenings” have always been tied to a major zionistic push into Christianity in the past.
Great Awakenings are a series of religious revivals in American Christian history. Historians and theologians identify three, or sometimes four, waves of increased religious enthusiasm between the early 18th century and the late 20th century. Each of these "Great Awakenings" was characterized by widespread revivals led by zionistic ministers and the formation of new religious movements and denominations.
The First Great Awakening began in the 1730s and lasted to about 1740, though pockets of revivalism had occurred in years prior, especially amongst the ministry of Solomon Stoddard. This was around the same time we see ‘Christian Zionism’ and Freemasonry began in Britain and spread to the 13 colonies in North America.
The Second Great Awakening led to a period of outpouring of religious fervor and revival began in Kentucky and Tennessee in the 1790s and early 1800s among the Presbyterians, Methodists, and Baptists. New religious movements emerged during the Second Great Awakening, such as Adventism, Dispensationalism, and the Latter Day Saint movement. Creating new denominations that closely align with ‘Zionism’ (return of the Jews to Palestine) can be see here.
The Third Great Awakening refers to a historical period proposed by William G. McLoughlin that was marked by religious activism in American history and spans the late 1850s to the early 20th century. It influenced pietistic Protestant denominations and had a strong element of social activism. It gathered strength from the postmillennial belief that the Second Coming of Christ would occur after mankind had reformed the entire Earth. It was affiliated with the Social Gospel movement, which applied Christianity to social issues and gained its force from the awakening, as did the worldwide missionary movement. New groupings emerged, such as the Holiness movement and Nazarene and Pentecostal movements, and also Jehovah's Witnesses, Spiritualism, Theosophy, Thelema, and Christian Science.
The Fourth Great Awakening occurred between 1960-1980 and it showed the merging protestant groups merging with powerful political powers. The rise of megachurches, big personalities, such as Billy Graham and Martin Luther King dramatically effected the mindsets of Christians. A charismatic awakening occurred between 1961 and 1982. This stemmed from a Pentecostal movement that placed emphasis on experiencing what they saw as the gifts of the spirit, including speaking in tongues, healing, and prophecy.
And now we are on the Fifth Great Awakening, which in my opinion is where we will see a massive emergence of Christian support for Israel with all the groups that have been created and nurtured from the previous Great Awakenings.
In 2022, Former White House Advisor for the Trump Administration, Steve Bannon said:
“Divine Providence works in mysterious way, I was there, Donald J. Trump is Providential….. stealing the 2020 election was Providential…”
Does it makes sense now? Why the United States was founded on JUDEO/Christian values. The idea of Divine Providence and Zionism go hand and hand and this country was put in place as a way to infiltrate the minds of Christians. To have Christians focus on PRIDE rather than biblical value.
Today we are seeing a massive push for Christians to idolize certain politicians / political influencers etc. in mass. What better way to trick Christians into worshipping a country built on pagan / demonic elements without them even knowing it. The plan is to force Christians to worship men on this Earth rather than Jesus Christ and the idea that man can create divine moments here on Earth.
When you think of the word PATRIOTIC what comes to mind? PRIDE.
Just remember the greatest sin in the Bible is PRIDE and that’s what the United States is built upon. Pride for the this nation, Pride for your local sports team, Pride in yourself, Pride in Politics, Pride in Race, Pride in Marriage….. The nation was built to pull you away from God slowly and through generations of family members who aren’t reading the Bible.
“To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.”
- Proberbs 8:13
Man’s fundamental paradox is we make machines providentially yet our lives are sustained by nature. Invention is divine providence flirting with evil while Gods Law is natural law and is absolutely miraculous.
Once again you’ve done a dive that is filled with references and it’s a post that leaves one uncomfortable in many aspects, including how our founding fathers possibly duped us in many areas that we always took to be based in faith in Jesus Christ. That needs to be set right when this is done.
Your concluding statement: “Just remember the greatest sin in the Bible is PRIDE and that’s what the United States is built upon. Pride for the this nation, Pride for your local sports team, Pride in yourself, Pride in Politics, Pride in Race, Pride in Marriage….. The nation was built to pull you away from God slowly and through generations of family members who aren’t reading the Bible.” True.
The entire post demonstrates clearly how deeply all of the “denominations” have been influenced to not worship our Lord Jesus Christ, but the exact opposite, and it’s sobering to consider. Thankfully the Bible is God’s word and we have technology that allows us to search back to the earliest Word of God before the antithetical versions were published.
We have one source as our guide in this ancient war and that definitively God’s Word. That is our guide for inspiration and to put on His armor.
Thank you, anon_fa_mous, for this eye-opening post! God bless you.🙏🙏
