  • From the Battle of Brooklyn in 1776, to the California Gold Rush, to the Guano Islands Act of 1856, Socrates in the City guest Michael Medved and host Eric Metaxas discuss the idea that America’s existence and expansion has been divinely devised. Medved begins the conversation with a story about the miraculous life of his grandmother after finding a tumor at age fifty…and the conversation only gets more interesting from there! The two discuss Medved’s THE AMERICAN MIRACLE and GOD’S HAND ON AMERICA, two extraordinary books that display the highest level of scholarship while simultaneously being tremendously, gloriously readable.
    This event took place at Seattle’s Arctic Club in April 2023.

    I just have to add a small story about Michael Medved. Around 2013, I miraculously found myself hosting a radio show in Honolulu, Hawaii, where I lived for 40 years. Michael also happened also to be the host of his own show, in the same studio room and chair, that I was using. He graciously autographed his latest book for me (10 Big Lies about America), which I still treasure. Anyways, after sitting next to each other in shul that Sabbath, I had my friend give Michael some specially made kosher food, after the service. Well, due to his honoring the religious codes, Michael was unable to accept the food, as it was not permissible to take anything out of the shul during Shabbat. Not to let anything go to waste, my family had the most delicious feast, we ever experienced that night.

Michael graciously waited the time for me to get to him and gave me a very kind reception. Thank you Michael!

      Indeed, through Christ, we shall all be One Kingdom and together with Him in due time. I have to wonder that in this life, that perhaps God allowed the US to become a nation, so that His chosen people of ישראל would have a strong ally when things hit the fan (such as occurred during WW II), and as a means to help the truth of God's plan get back to them. You look at what is going on right now even, or what the future holds, I feel if our nation ever strays from being a nation for ישראל, we could be in trouble.
      This, of course, goes with saying that any sins that God's people do come with consequence, such as in times past when they strayed from God and were taken captive by others. What is going on over there right now, IMO is a wake-up call for them to seek the Lord and understand the very salvation completed in their land ~1994 yrs ago give/take. We must pray for the people on both sides of the conflicts going on in the world right now, for everyone is in need of the same things.

      If God is sometimes willing to alter the course of human events to the advantage of some, then he’s also to blame for neglecting to do it for others at other times. He could have prevented 9-11, for example; maybe we should blame him for that, or for the attack on the USS Liberty, or the sailors that died at Pearl Harbor. The Palestinians suffer every day at the hands of the Khazar Jews of the Nation State of Israel; God should preserve and reward those converts to Judaism in spite of their inhumanity to even the smallest children of Palestine? 🤔

      I, too, have heard both gentlemen speak. I even recently recalled my very brief conversation with Michael just this past week. (There must have been a gentle wave in The Force.)
      He is as genuine and lovely in person as he comes across in his various media appearances.

    I had to pause right here, here being 36:12 on the video to say, I'm absolutely enjoying this wonderful, delightful conversation.
    How fascinating to here prophecy about America come alive through the different accounts in our history, and his story Michael Medved. We started as a Nation having two horns like a lamb, but now the dragon is speaking. Z28-310.

    Michael Medved's discussion of the purpose ascribed to America's existence (12:40) inspired a chill of revelation; it rings so remarkable true over the course of World history. This is particularly true of the Jewish experience everywhere else outside of the United States. Up to the mid twentieth century, America was the promised land for this community and a refuge for everyone else.

    Eric I'm 64 and I haven't read a book in well over 30 years, half my life ago, but I WILL be buying both Michael's and your books, along with everything available and written by Abraham Lincoln - having recently discovered that my Mother's Father, my Grandfather, was born when Abraham Lincoln was POTUS. I'm only one family generation from someone alive during President Lincoln's Presidency, and to use your term, that boggles my mind and helps me at least partly understand why I am a life-long conservative.
    I thank the both of you for what you do, I am inspired.

    WHAT A BEATIFUL REFLECTION ON AMERICAN HISTORY BY DR. MEDVED. HE INVITED ME TO LEARN MORE OF THE HEROES WHO MADE THIS COUNTRY TO THE CHOSEN BY GOD. AS HE STATEDED TO BE CHOSEN CALLS TO GAIN RESPONSABILITY. SO ADMIRABLE. I AM A MEXICAN SO FAVORABLE BY THIS COUNTRY. I HAD THE PREVILEGE TO OBTAIN TWO DIPLOMAS BY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

    I am very fortunate as a true Philadelphian to experience real history since the 70s plus being around old historical Philadelphia especially Independence Hall. God does work in mysterious ways because of our former tenants living in our apartments was a descendant of Stow & Pass who had direct ties to the Liberty Bell mentioned by Mr. Medved. I thought it was a lie till he was kind enough to show me real historical facts as well as his service during D-Day in Normandy. Thank you and signed on! God bless you all.

      What Eric and Michael won't tell you is that America is a White Christian nation. They promote the falsehood that America is defined by values only. They believe that so-called American values are what unites people which is false. John Jay in 1787 said that what unites Americans is, same ancestors, same religion, same language, similar manners and customs. Michael and Eric promote a false modern interpretation of America which is the liberal ideology since World War Two.

    To say to ONLY teach the good things of our history is like saying there are only good things in the Bible. To say one should not teach things that are negative because some people feel bad about them is ridiculous. Faithfulness is not possible without knowing both. This seems obvious to me. I am proud of our country with all of its flaws.

    Last year, my son and I celebrated our birthdays, which are on the same day, exactly 50 years apart (1951&2001), I turned 71 and he turned 21. My wife celebrated her 50th birthday (1973), this year. I left Hawaii after honoring my promise to myself that I would return to my hometown (Cleveland, Ohio) if Cleveland ever win a world championship, after going 53 years without one. I left Cleveland for 40 years, (1976-2016), the same amount of time the Jews spent in the desert, after being thrown out of Egypt, by the Pharaoh. My promise to myself was fulfilled, as LeBron James, made it possible in 2016, as the Cleveland Cavaliers won the world basketball championship bringing Cleveland it’s first championship, since the Cleveland Browns, won Cleveland’s last championship back in 1963.

    A Prophet in ancient America said the following:
    9 And now, we can behold the decrees of God concerning this land, that it is a land of promise; and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, or they shall be swept off when the fulness of his wrath shall come upon them. And the fulness of his wrath cometh upon them when they are ripened in iniquity.
    10 For behold, this is a land which is choice above all other lands; wherefore he that doth possess it shall serve God or shall be swept off; for it is the everlasting decree of God. And it is not until the fulness of iniquity among the children of the land, that they are swept off.
    11 And this cometh unto you, O ye Gentiles, that ye may know the decrees of God-that ye may repent, and not continue in your iniquities until the fulness come, that ye may not bring down the fulness of the wrath of God upon you as the inhabitants of the land have hitherto done.
    12 Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written.
