Dear Jeff,
As I told you, Glenn Beck called and asked me to speak at the special upcoming Restoring Courage event in Israel. I accepted his invitation, and am looking forward to taking part in this effort to build support for Israel. I’m sending you a copy of an open letter from Glenn that contains more information about this event. Please join me in praying for God’s continued favor and blessing on both the Jerusalem Prayer Team and the Jewish people.
August 4, 2011
To Whom This May Concern:
In these ever-changing times, it is imperative that we, as concerned citizens and friends of Israel, stand up for what is right. You have been engaged in fighting for right for a long time. Others, too many, have only recently enlisted in those efforts. Specifically, too many of us have stood back and watched as our leaders implement policies that threaten the security and future of Israel for far too long. It is time to stand with Israel. It is time to take a stand and that is why I have planned for a Restoring Courage event to take place in Jerusalem from August 21st-August 24th.
As I shared my thoughts with Michael, he graciously agreed to participate as well as suggested that I reach out to you and share my vision of creating a movement that we hope will spark momentum and inspire a renewed support for Israel around the globe. Here is a brief summary of the events:

• August 8, 117 C.E.: Hadrian named Emperor of the Roman Empire. He is remembered as the man who accepted the limits of the Roman empire, as can be seen by the construction Hadrian’s Wall in what is today Great Britain. It was designed to keep the barbarians out of the empire and was viewed as the greatest engineering feat of the Roman legions. Hadrian was also seen as a man of culture who was a devotee of Greek learning. Jews remember him as the man who brought on Bar Kochba’s Rebellion. At the end of the extended but ultimately failed clash of arms. Hadrian made war on Judaism itself. He sought to build a temple to Jupiter on the Temple Mount. He hunted down the Jewish sages and created the list of martyrs some of whom we invoke by name each year on the High Holidays. In Jewish writings he referred to as “the Wicked or the Evil One.”[1]
• August 8, 1356 : The King of Aragon sent his Jewish physician to tend to the wounds of a Muslim who was fighting in the king’s army.[2]
• August 8, 1541: The Jews of Great Poland were authorized by King Sigisnund to elect a chief Rabbi.[3]
•
• August 8, 1588: In the war between England and Spain, the Battle of Gravelines comes to an ends. Conventional commentators see it as a turning point in history because it marked the end of the Spanish Armada’s attempt to invade England. Any defeat suffered by Spain, the land of the Enquisition had to be seen as a plus from the Jewish point of view. More specifically, the end of the Battle of Gravelines meant that the Spanish Armada could not support the landing of Spanish troops in the Netherlands. Part of the mission of the Armada was to provide support for Spanish forces fighting to impose Catholic rule on the Protestant Dutch. The Spanish were determined to bring the Inquisition to the Netherlands to punish the heresy of the Protenstants and would of course have doomed the future of the Sephardic Jews who had already settled in Holland or would be settling there. If the Spanish had been successful at Gravelines, the 23 Jews who whould sail into New Amsterdeam would have found a Catholic government that would havew not provided them aid, shelter and a New World in which to settle. It is not too great a stretch to say that a line can be drawn from Drake’s vitory over the Armada at Gravelines to the founding of the Jewish Community in America. As we have said many times in our studies in Cedar Rapids, you must understand history to understand Jewish history and seeing history through the Jewish primism is not the same as seeing history in its general form.[4]
• August 8, 1654
• The first Jew sailed for New Amsterdam from Holland aboard the Peartree and landed on August 22. Jacob Barsimson was considered the first Jewish immigrant. Other dates have been given for this sailing. Regardless, the official date of the start of the Jewish community comes later in 1654 when 23 Portuguese Jews landed in New Amsterdam.[3][5]
• August 8, 1655: In 1655, after fierce lobbying… Parliament voted to rescind the ban on Jews. [4][6] Oliver Cromwell readmits Jews to England. [5][7]
• August 8, 1655
• The Russians captured Vilna. As part of the peace settlement between Chmielnicki and Czar Alexis, the east band of the Dnieper became part of the kingdom of Moscow. Jews were once again subject to expulsion and murder. [6][8]

Governor Sharpe of Maryland writes a report to Lord Baltimore, the proprietor of the Maryland Colony. Sharpe informed Baltimore of the incident at Fort Necessity and notified the proprietor that he had sent a bill for supporting the Virginians with 6000 pounds to the Maryland Assembly. He also requested permission for "raising a Company or two of Men in yr Ldp's Governt by which we hope the Virginians will be reinforced enough to take the Field again before Winter." [12]
August 8, 1775: Cresswell[13] very uneasy to wait doing nothing. Am afraid I shall be too late to return home this fall, went with Miss Crawford and Miss Grimes to John Mintor’s place.[14] When we came to a small Creek we had to cross the girls tucked up their petticoats above their knees and forded it with the greatest indifference. Nothing unusual here, tho’ these are the first people in the country.[15]
August 8, 1776:
August 8. Yesterday two companies of troops from the
Swatara, and today the last company from this town,
marched for the army. Numbers of our members called to
take leave Adam Orth and his son John ; Baltzer Orth ;
Guenther; Gottlieb Kucker; Michael Uhrich; Michael
Koch ; George Yolk and Henry Buehler. Our evening
service was not held in the chapel, owing to so many of the
members being in the army. [16]
August 8, 1780
George Rogers Clark, for whom the Ohio county is named, led a band of Kentuckians, including Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton, into this territory and defeated the Shawnee Indians, at the battle of Piqua on August 8, 1780. One of the tribe was a boy of twelve namedTecumseh who later became a famous Shawnee leader dedicated to fighting white settlers. Born in Clark County, emissary to all the Indians of the Northwestern and Southwesternterritories, Tecumseh opposed westward migration in the early 19th century. He led unremitting warfare against white settlementin his land.[17]
On August 8, 1780 Clark marched against Old Chillicothe (in Greene County), but found the village abandoned and burned. They destroyed several hundred acres of corn and then proceeded in a north direction for the purpose of attacking Old Piqua, the Shawnee town on Mad River (in Clark County). Reaching that point the fight began at 2 P. M., and after a three hours' engagement the Indians were driven from their village, each side losing about twenty men. Upon the following day, the town was burned and the growing crops completely destroyed. This severe thrashing taught the Indians a lesson not soon to be forgotten, and for the time cowed them into submission. There were nearly 4,000 persons in the tribe at this point, and the destruction of their crops caused them much suffering, having to depend entirely upon the chase for provision to keep them through the following winter. The Shawnees crossed over the Great Miami into what is now Miami County, and built another town which they also called Piqua.[18]

2. Battle of Piqua Marker
View of historical marker on the earthen dam at the eastern end of the park's lake (with lake seen just to the left of the historical marker).
More about this marker. This historical marker was erected here as part of the work of the Ohio Revolutionary Memorial Commission. This commission was formed with the intent to commemorate in 1930, the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Revolutionary War era, Battle of Piqua, which was fought in 1780. In addition to erecting this historical monument (in 1953), the Ohio Revolutionary Memorial Commission was also responsible for the creation of the George Rogers Clark Historical Park, holding a sesquicentennial reenactment of the battle, and creating Ohio’s portion of a tri-state (Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan) roadway system of historical trails, entitled the Ohio Revolutionary Memorial Trails (see related link #4).
Regarding Battle of Piqua. In the document, “Chronology of history of George Rogers Clark Park” (see related link #5), it states that in 1929: “Governor Donohay appoints members of the George Rogers Clark Memorial Commission, formed statewide consisting of many local and state dignitaries. They are to investigate possibilities of commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Picawey and the Northwest Ordinance. Their recommendations include:
1. The creation of an Ohio Revolutionary Memorial at the site with a tri-state trail system (see related

3. Battle of Piqua Marker

link #4).
2. A major State park at the site of the Battle:
“… that the site of the Battle of Piqua be acquired by the State as a permanent park, and that a permanent building be erected, preferably a replica of the pioneer type of fort, one such having stood upon this battlefield as a defense for the Indian town of Piqua… and that there be prepared therein, or in another structure adjacent, a museum pertaining to Indian, frontier and pioneer days.”
Later in 1929: “The Ohio Revolutionary Memorial Commission is formed,” appointed pursuant to the Act of the General Assembly, passed April 6, 1929, and approved by Governor Myers T Cooper, April 25, 1929, and filed with the Secretary of State April 26, 1929 (Amended State Bill Number 91 by Senator M. S. Kuhns) entitled 'An Act to provide for the creation of an Ohio Revolutionary Memorial Commission; defining its powers and duties and making an appropriation for the work of the Commission.' "
Then, for 1930, the document states: “Land is purchased by the Revolutionary Commission from Wylie E. Potts (the net amount of land being 201.205 acres) with the State paying the purchase price of $21,126.52, thus creating George Rogers Clark Memorial Park…."
So it was this Ohio Revolutionary Memorial Commission that was responsible for the creation of George Rogers Clark Historical

August 8, 1794: CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF THE BUILDING OF FORT DEFIANCE,
OHIO, BY GENERAL ANTHONY WAYNE.
To THE EDITOR OF THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE :
The city of Defiance, Ohio, is beautifully situated on both sides of the
Auglaize and Maumee Rivers, the business centre being but a few squares
from their confluence and the commanding point between them where
General Anthony Wayne, of Pennsylvania, established Fort Defiance,
August 8, 1794. This was a favorite resort of the Indians. The rivers
were their highways ; the region about produced much of their corn,
and important councils were here held. Hence Fort Defiance at once became an important point in the Indian wars, and also in the War of
1812.
Preparations are maturing for a suitable celebration of the centennial
.anniversary of the founding of the fort, to continue three days, August
7, 8, and 9, 1894. The pioneer societies of the Maumee Valley will par-
ticipate, and it is desired to enlist the sympathy of all persons interested
in the earlier history of the Northwest Territory. The governors of sev-
eral States and many other prominent men of Ohio and other States
have written, promising to be present. Permit us, through your Maga-
zine, to extend a general invitation.
Yours very truly,
CHARLES E. SLOCUM, M.D.,
Of the Committee on Invitation. [21]
August 8, 1801: When James Finley had reached Kane Ridge on August 8, the Revival had been underway for two days. As many as 20,000 people had gathered there.
The preachers are towering over you in preaching stands. They are preaching day and night and everything is announced with trumpets blowing. Finley sees these people shrieking and screaming, and shrieking, shouting, and singing. People are rolling on the ground, fainting, weeping, At one moment a preacher looks at him right in the eyes and he finds his knees ready to give out.
“I cry for mercy and salvation. My sins crowd around me like so many demons of darkness. My disobedience to God, my backslidings rise before me and it seems to me that hell is just at hand and that soon I must plunge into its dismal abode.”
Finley stops and says, “We are going to have to change our lives or we are going straight to hell.” He weeps, shouts out and he is converted.
“The direct witness from heaven shines full upon my soul. And their flows such copious streams of love that I think I should die. Excessive joy.”
Christian conversion offered a very powerful promise of fundamental change that you could be a certain kind of person on Wednesday, And you could go to a revival on Thursday morning and by thursday afternoon you could be a new creature.
News of the Kane Ridge revival and others like it spread across America. Over the next two decades there would be thousands more. A wave of revivals swept through South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. The Middle atlantic, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, hosted annual camp meetings that were wild with enthusiasm. And revivals burned across New York and New England.
Americas thirst for a true religious experience spawned dozens of denominations. Baptists and Methodists flourished. Individuals seeking a different message found a home in Freewill Baptists, Anti-Mission Baptists, Disciples of Christ, Universalists, and Joseph Smith’s Latter Day Saints. Even the older faiths, the Presbyterians, Congregational, and Anglican Churches became more Evangelical in response to the Competition they faced. Not just from new faiths but a new kind of preacher.

Forty thousand white robed Klu Klux Klansmen march down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., the largest Klan rally in the United States.[25]
[26]
Theresa told Mary that Henry Winch went to Dubuque to attend a Klu Klux Klan meetings in the 1920’s.
• August 8, 1925: In the last half of the twenties, Hiram W. Evans and the men who ran the Klan tried in various ways to keep the order afloat. In the fall of 1925 Evans announced that the Klan was moving its main offices from Atlanta to Washington, D. C., where the organization supposedly could carry out its new “educational” program in a more effective fashion. [27] On August 8, 1925 in one of their largest rallies ever, 40,000 Klu Klux Klan paraded down Pennsylvania avenue in Washington D.C.[28]
1925: The Ku Klux Klan was a presence at times in the Dubuque area. In the 1920s, at the height of its power, Klan influence became visible in the area. Several crosses were burned in the area over an 18 month time period. One Klan meeting near the Center Grove section of the city degenerated into a huge fight when anti-klan demonstrators attacked Klan members. In 1925, the Klan held a gathering which they called a "Konklave." The Klan claimed over 50,000 people attended the rally. The Klan held another "Konklave" as well as a parade.
The influence of the Klan soon began to weaken. National scandals and power struggles weakened the Klan, which was mirrored locally. The Klan had pretty much disappeared from the public view for a number of years.
Most recently, during the 1990s, there was a brief resurgence of the Klan's presence in Dubuque. Appropriate actions were taken and the Klan's presence has since disappeared.[29]

[13] Nicholas Cresswell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicholas Cresswell (5 January 1750 – 26 July 1804) was an English diarist.[1]
Cresswell was the son of a landowner and sheep farmer in Crowden-le-Booth, Edale, Derbyshire. At the age of 24 he sailed to the American colonies after becoming acquainted with a native of Edale who was now resident in Alexandria, Virginia. For the next three years he kept a journal of his experiences, along with comments on political issues. He became unpopular due to his opposition to the patriot cause in the American War of Independence. Cresswell returned to England, and after a failed attempt to receive a commission from the ex-governor of Virginia, John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, he returned to Edale to resume farming. He died at in Idridgehay 1804.[1]

[In July of 1761 the Moravians surveyed and laid out a town on a
tract of fifty acres, on the south side of the Quittopehelle Creek, about
one mile from the present borough of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, which
they called Hebron. Hebron, however, was never built; instead, the
name was given to a large stone building occupied as a chapel (on second
floor) and living rooms for the minister (on first floor), which until 1848
was used for congregational purposes. The following extracts are trans-
lated from the German, of remnants of the diary of the pastor, Rev. P.
C. Bader, who was in charge of the congregation during the whole period
of the Revolution. ED. PENNA. MAG.]
