Pastor Robert Hunt
Youtube version read by Mrs. Watcher Link
One of the great Christians to have an impact on the New World is Pastor Robert Hunt.
The 400 year prophecy in the Old Testament, which apparently also shows up in the 1st Nephi 13-14 narrative, appears to have a starting point having to do with the arrival of Christian Gentiles to the New World.
A strong case could be made for the year 1607 when the venerable Pastor Robert Hunt arrived in the promised land from England and dedicated the land to Jesus Christ
Pastor Hunt’s group were among the very first Christian Gentiles to come to the shores of America and they were God fearing Christians with good intent. They actually made a covenant and dedicated this land and themselves, to raise up Godly generations that would take the gospel of Jesus Christ to all the earth. Here is a quote from an article on the Internet. (obviously you should do your own research):
“The simple, documented fact however is that the driving force behind the founding and building of America was the desire to propagate the Gospel and teachings of Jesus Christ. Landing at Jamestown in 1607 Pastor Robert Hunt erected a cross, took communion, and with those assembled with him made the following covenant:
“We do hereby Dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains, and may this Land, along with England, be Evangelist to the World.”
If the man among the gentiles that Nephi speaks of, is a gentile, Pastor Hunt is a likely candidate in my opinion. This is because Hunt’s primary focus was on taking the gospel message to the world and his missionary efforts obviously had an impact on the seed of the seed of Lehi.
Clearly Pastor John Hunt and the year 1607 must be seriously considered when researching and pondering the prophecy about the man among the gentiles.
The arrival of Christianity to America in 1607 seems to place the arrival of Roger Williams even further out of the prophetic narrative as a possible candidate for the “man among the gentiles“.
Adding 400 years to that date takes us to the financial meltdown that took place in 2007-8 which seems rather a rather remarkable coincidence if it is not prophetic.
However an even more compelling case that needs to be considered when looking for the starting point of the 400 year prophecy is the arrival of the Puritan Pilgrims on the Mayflower in 1620.
The Mayflower Compact
Christian Puritans known today as the “Pilgrims from England” sailed to the “new world” of America in 1620.
These Puritans signed a “compact” as a promise to bring “glory to God“ AND “advancement of the Christian Faith” as their primary purpose to plant a colony in the foreign land of what would be called America
COMPACT, noun An agreement; a contract between parties; a word that may be applied, in a general sense, to any covenant or contract between individuals; but it is more generally applied to agreements between nations and states, as treaties and confederacies. So the constitution of the United States is a political contract between the States; a national compact Or the word is applied to the agreement of the individuals of a community. (1828 Websters Dictionary)
According to some accounts, it would be on December 21 1620 that these Puritans would actually drop anchor at the tip of Cape Cod and rest their feet on dry ground.
If in fact the man that Nephi saw in vision was a Christian Gentile, we would need to seriously consider the profiles and contributions of the Puritan Fathers that were on the Mayflower when it arrived in 1620.
There are two reasons that I lean more towards 1620 over 1607 as the starting date of the 400 year prophecy.
One, is that while Pastor Hunt was a very good man, he was essentially promoting Protestantism. The Puritans on the other hand, were sincerely trying to duplicate or restore biblical Christianity.
PU’RITAN, noun [from pure.] A dissenter from the church of England. The puritans were so called in derision, on account of their professing to follow the pure word of God, in opposition to all traditions and human constitutions.
To me, it is very significant that the Puritans were earnestly striving to live the pure doctrine of Christ to the best of their abilities as set forth in the New Testament. They were essentially doing what Sidney Rigdon and his congregation was doing when they found the restored gospel. In that sense, the Puritans were acting as a forerunner to the restored gospel, just as Sidney Rigdon had been a forerunner of the gospel.
The second reason I lean towards 1620 as the starting point for the 400 year prophecy is because I find the end completion point of 2020 to be much more compelling that the ending point of 2007. This is because the magnitude of the calamity in 2020 dwarfs the magnitude of the calamity that took place in 2007.
Nevertheless, I find it remarkable that significant calamities happened at the end of both timeframes.
In 2007 we had a huge financial crisis which almost collapsed our financial system. Nevertheless, that calamity pales in comparison to the calamity that began taking place in 2020 and the financial calamity and reset that is growing out of it.
In 2020 the globalist cabal began the sca*m-demi*c and associated de*ath shot.
So, the sixty four dollar question would be, which years represent the beginning and the end of the prophetic narrative?
My money is on the years 1620 ……… 2020.
In the preface of the Doctrine and Covenants, the Lord makes the following declaration:
17 Wherefore, I the Lord, knowing the calamity which should come upon the inhabitants of the earth, called upon my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and spake unto him from heaven, and gave him commandments;
18 And also gave commandments to others, that they should proclaim these things unto the world; and all this that it might be fulfilled, which was written by the prophets—
19 The weak things of the world shall come forth and break down the mighty and strong ones, that man should not counsel his fellow man, neither trust in the arm of flesh—
The calamity spoken of above is a global calamity, not just a national calamity. We are witnessing the beginning of world-wide Genocide. Our water, food and air has all been poisoned by a global cabal of luciferins.
The only thing that can save Gods people is divine intervention. The weak things of the world are going to come forth and break down the mighty and strong ones.
The same revelation identified who God’s end time servants are and promised that they would return to seal up the wicked.
This same CALAMITY is spoken of in the dedicatory prayer of the Kirtland Temple.
45 We know that thou hast spoken by the mouth of thy prophets terrible things concerning the wicked, in the last days—that thou wilt pour out thy judgments, without measure;
46 Therefore, O Lord, deliver thy people from the calamity of the wicked; enable thy servants to seal up the law, and bind up the testimony, that they may be prepared against the day of burning.
We are now witnessing the “terrible things“. God’s “judgements” are being poured out upon the wicked. God is using the global secret combination to create this terrible “calamity” that the world is currently experiencing.
For those reasons, I believe the beginning point of the prophetic 400 year timeline begins in 1607 and ended in 2020. 2020 began the great calamity spoken of in scripture.
Hence, if the man that Nephi saw was a gentile, the most likely candidate would have been among the Mayflower Puritans.
Three of the most likely candidates on the Mayflower in my opinion would be John Carver, William Brewster, and William Bradford:
William Brewster was the highest-ranking layperson of the congregation and would be their designated spiritual leader in the New World… Brewster became the senior elder, and so served as the religious leader of the colony; in the colony, he became a separatist leader and preacher, and eventually, as an adviser to Governor William Bradford.
John Carver: Carver seems to have been elected governor of the Mayflower for the duration of the Atlantic crossing …He is credited with writing the Mayflower Compact and was its first signer, and he was also the first governor of Plymouth Colony.
William Bradford became the second governor of the Plymouth Colony… He served as Governor for many years, gaining re-election time and time again, and played a huge part in gaining the trust of the Native Americans – which led to what became the first Thanksgiving in 1623… William Bradford penned the following immortal words “Just as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many.”
I think those brethren were noble men and I think their timing in arriving at the promised land among the first gentiles qualifies them as possible candidates even though none of them seems to stand out from the others from what I can tell.
They, along with Pastor John Hunt would be among the most likely candidates if the man we are looking for was a Gentile.
However, as I have studied the prophecy, I must admit that I am not convinced that the “man among the gentiles” was a gentile!
The next sixty four dollar question is, who would be the man among the gentiles that Nephi saw in vision that emerges in or around the year 1620 having to do with the Gentiles that are coming to the New World?
Was it John Robinson, William Brewster, William Bradford, John Carver or another Christian Gentile of that timeframe?
Again, in my view, the year 1620 is the obvious beginning point to be focused on.
According to the prophecy in 1 Nephi 13-14 it is at the time when there are wars and rumors of wars and the wrath of God is poured out upon the great and abominable church, that the work of the father begins:
16 And as there began to be wars and rumors of wars among all the nations which belonged to the mother of abominations, the angel spake unto me, saying: Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots; and behold, thou seest all these things—
17 And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel.
Have we reached the end of the four hundred years that Father Abraham saw in his trance?
Is the pandemic and the vaccine and the financial distress and the oppression that began in 2020 and all of the other signs of the times that we are witnessing, including the escalating war in Ukraine a sign that the wrath of God is upon the gentiles?
Does this mean that the time of our deliverance is near?
Those of you who still skeptical about a grand global conspiracy might be interested in listening to the testimony of experts around the world who are testifying at the Global Grand Jury
There is now evidence that our food supplies and water supplies are being poisoned as well. Indeed toxic substances are even airborne.
So who was the man among the gentiles that emerges and has a profound impact on the Christian Gentiles coming to America?
I have had some readers share their speculations with me.
One person suggested John Bunyan. Another suggested Lief Ericson and yet another suggested John Howland.
Ok, now I want to think out of the box and suggest that the man among the gentiles is not even a gentile!
From studying this prophecy, I believe the man among the gentiles was not a Gentile.
I believe the narrative that Nephi gives, he had been “separated” from his brethren by the many waters which would make him from the seed of Lehi.
I believe he returned to his brethren after being separated by the many waters.
I believe this man among the Gentiles was a Christian from the seed of Lehi.
I believe he played a huge role in helping the Christian Gentiles when they arrived in the New World.
I suspect many of you have already figured out who I think it is from the hits I gave in the last episode.
Look again at the following passages and hyperfocus on the terms “man among” and “separated from” while forgetting about preconceived notions that you have inherited from the false traditions of your fathers:
“11 And it came to pass that the angel said unto me: Behold the wrath of God is upon the seed of thy brethren.
12 And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles, who was separated from the seed of my brethren by the many waters; and I beheld the Spirit of God, that it came down and wrought upon the man; and he went forth upon the many waters, even unto the seed of my brethren, who were in the promised land.
13 And it came to pass that I beheld the Spirit of God, that it wrought upon other Gentiles; and they went forth out of captivity, upon the many waters.
The fact that there was a man among the gentiles does not necessarily imply that he was a gentile.
In my opinion, pointing out that a man is among the gentiles could just as easily be suggesting tribal differentiation rather than tribal commonality.
Here is another thing to consider.
Notice how Nephi chooses to use different descriptives in the following two passaged in the same paragraph of this prophetic narrative, even though it is a similar topic:
| 1 Nephi 13:10 | 1 Nephi 13:12 |
| And it came to pass that I looked and beheld many waters; and they divided the Gentiles from the seed of my brethren |
And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles who was separated from the seed of my by brethren by the many waters |
Why did he identify the Gentiles as a collective group as being DIVIDED
from the seed of his brethren by the many waters while identifying the man among the Gentiles as being SEPARATED from the seed of his brethren by the many waters?
I think he is making a differentiation.
Is it possible that the storyline is actually speaking about someone from the seed of Lehi who became separated from his people by the many waters only to eventually return to his own people to play a significant role at the time when Christian Gentiles were arriving in America?
Could such a man be uniquely qualified to help the pilgrim Christians in a time of need and to be an advocate and interpreter and facilitator between the gentiles and the seed of Nephi’s brethren?
Enter Tisquantum, an American Indian better known as Squanto, from the Patuxet tribe.
Squanto was born in 1580 near Plymouth, Massachusetts and little is known about his early life.
In fact, most Americans only know what has been publicized and romanticized in movies and popular books. Those not familiar with Squanto might want to consider reading Eric Metaxas’ article that appeared in the Wallstreet Journal entitled “The Miracle of Squanto’s Path to Plymouth” because his life truly was a miracle and his advice and assistance were integral to the survival of early Mayflower Pilgrims.
What was it that prepared Squanto to be such a good friend and mentor to the Gentiles?
How come he understood the English language and seemed to understand and relate with the Gentiles?
The fact that he was an American Indian that was well connected to many of the Indian tribes and understood how to survive in the geographical terrain was obviously a significant advantage, but why was he able to communicate so well and relate so well with the Christian Gentiles?
Why was his heart softened towards them to the extent of becoming converted to their God and becoming their advocate and fellow sojourner in the New World?
Without spending a lot of time detailing the remarkable life of this person, let me just summarize a few key points that I have gleaned from various articles on the Internet.
Squanto was kidnapped and taken oversees twice. Once in 1605.
After he returned, he was kidnapped a second time and taken oversees again, shortly after 1614 (there are slight variations between historians, as always you should do your own research if this topic is of interest to you)
He then returned to North America in 1619 just in time to play his remarkable role in helping the Mayflower pilgrims who arrived in 1620.
Although we don’t have an abundance of details about Squanto’s remarkable journey in life, he is believed to have been captured as a young man along the Maine coast in 1605 by Captain George Weymouth, who had been commissioned by Plymouth Company owner Sir Ferdinando Gorges to explore the coast of Maine and Massachusetts, and reportedly captured Squanto, along with four Penobscots, because he thought his financial backers in Britain might want to see some Indians.
Weymouth brought Squanto and the other Indians to England, where Squanto lived with Ferdinando Gorges, who taught him English and hired him to be an interpreter and guide.
Now fluent in English, Squanto returned to his homeland in 1614 with English explorer John Smith, possibly acting as a guide, but was captured again by another British explorer, Thomas Hunt, and sold into slavery in Spain.
Squanto escaped, lived with monks for a few years, and eventually returned to North America in 1619, only to find his entire Patuxet tribe dead from smallpox. He went to live with the nearby Wampanoags.
In 1621, Squanto was introduced to the Pilgrims at Plymouth, and subsequently acted as an interpreter between Pilgrim representatives and Wampanoag Chief Massasoit. In the fall of 1621, the Pilgrims and Wampanoags celebrated the first Thanksgiving after reaping a successful crop. The following year, Squanto deepened the Pilgrims’ trust by helping them find a lost boy, and assisted them with planting and fishing.
Squanto’s time in England equipped him with a unique set of skills. Unlike most other Indigenous peoples, he was able to speak English, which allowed him to act as a liaison between the settlers and Indigenous tribes. He interpreted conversations and served as a guide for the settlers.
Here is an excerpt from Eric’s article:
In the bleak November of 1620, the Mayflower passengers, unable to navigate south to the warmer land of Virginia, decided to settle at Plymouth, the very spot where Squanto had grown up. They had come in search of religious freedom, hoping to found a colony based on Christian principles.
Their journey was very difficult, and their celebrated landing on the frigid shores of Plymouth proved even more so. Forced to sleep in miserably wet and cold conditions, many of them fell gravely ill. Half of them died during that terrible winter. One can imagine how they must have wept and wondered how the God they trusted and followed could lead them to this agonizing pass. They seriously considered returning to Europe.
But one day during that spring of 1621, a Wampanoag walked out of the woods to greet them. Somehow he spoke perfect English. In fact, he had lived in London more recently than they had. And if that weren’t strange enough, he had grown up on the exact land where they had settled.
Because of this, he knew everything about how to survive there; not only how to plant corn and squash, but how to find fish and lobsters and eels and much else. The lone Patuxet survivor had nowhere to go, so the Pilgrims adopted him as one of their own and he lived with them on the land of his childhood.
Squanto is credited with teaching the Pilgrims how to grow plants and use natural resources. His guidance helped them survive their first year. Squanto was also instrumental when it came to skirmishes with some of the other Indigenous peoples in the area. Some tribes did not appreciate the fact that he was helping the strange people from England. This caused problems for Squanto, who was once captured by a neighboring tribe. He was able to gain freedom from bondage once again and worked with the Pilgrims until his death.
In November of 1623, with the arrival of additional English settlers who came ill-prepared for the approaching New England winter, Squanto guided an expedition from Plymouth to trade with Cape Cod Indians for corn. He fell ill with what William Bradford, who led the foray, described as an “Indian fever” and died within a few days.
According to Bradford, as quoted by John H. Humins in New England Quarterly, the dying Squanto expressed his wish to “go to the Englishmen’s God in Heaven” and “bequeathed his little property to his English friends, as remembrances of his love.”
During the course of squanto’s life and his experience living with the monks, and his travels across the many waters, the spirit of the Lord apparently fell upon him and he converted to Christianity.
I don’t know for sure who the man among the Gentiles is, but I am reasonably sure it was not Roger Williams. If I were to take a speculative guess, Squanto would be at the top of my list.
He fits the textual profile perfectly.
The greater take away from the thoughts I have had that were sparked by the article about the man among the gentiles, is that we have very possibly reached the end of the 400 year prophecy of Abraham which seems to correspond with the timeline in the prophetic narrative in 1st Nephi 13-14.
This nation is now under judgement.
The wrath of God is now falling upon the great and abominable church of the devil which includes all religious organizations, governments and social institutions. Indeed, as H. Verlan Anderson said, the Great and Abominable Church of the Devil
IS Government!
Government has become the religion of Americans and the entire world.
The following video supports what Brother Anderson taught about government being the national religion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUKsE1KIeH4&t=14s
The video has so much truth in it about the evil nature of government, that the following warning has been placed upon it by Youtube:
The following content has been identified by the YouTube community as inappropriate or offensive to some audiences.
Viewer discretion is advised
So powerful is the influence and authority of the government that most Americans believe the indoctrination from Government and they believe and abide by all of the absurd dictates decreed by government.
Of course those that have deeply studied this topic realize that there is a secret society that has obtained control of virtually all governments and virtually all other organizations.
In the words of President Ezra Taft Bensons “I testify talk” (which some people believe was written by his son Reed), the Book of Mormon warns that secret combinations lusting for power, gain and glory, seek to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries:
“I testify that wickedness is rapidly expanding in every segment of our society. (See D&C 1:14–16; D&C 84:49–53.) It is more highly organized, more cleverly disguised, and more powerfully promoted than ever before. Secret combinations lusting for power, gain, and glory are flourishing. A secret combination that seeks to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries is increasing its evil influence and control over America and the entire world. (See Ether 8:18–25.)
The reason I feel that the 400 year prophecy is important to understand is so that we can realize where we stand in time. Prophecy is happening before our eyes, but do we see it?
Even as this article is being written and the average person is living life as usual, with no real comprehension of what is happening before our very eyes, the final stage of the prophetic timeline is in process.
I must agree with the following paragraph in the article that motivated this series:
“In practical terms, as I write this, I have lights and heat, gas in my car, food in my kitchen, and I’ll get up and go to work tomorrow. My day-to-day life continues much as it has for years, minus a few inconveniences and annoyances.
The walls look solid, the roof is holding, and the Keep is well provisioned. And yet, as we’ve been distracted with lockdowns, travel restrictions, mask mandates, and an unending diet of fear porn in the media, the miners have been hard at work, sapping the strength of the final bulwark against tyranny.
They have now succeeded in undermining the foundation of it all, and a single spark is all that’s required to ignite the brush, boards and bacon grease that have replaced the foundation. IT HAS CHANGED. It will ignite, it will burn, and it will fall. Great will be the fall thereof.
Our society, our rights, our government, and we as a people have been destroyed.”
Well said.
We are informed in 1 Nephi 14:17 that the prophetic marker that details the end of the timeline and the beginning of the work of the father, is when the “wrath of God” is poured out upon the Gentiles:
17 And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil, then, at that day, the work of the Father shall commence, in preparing the way for the fulfilling of his covenants, which he hath made to his people who are of the house of Israel.
I believe we are witnessing the wrath of God being poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of the devil. Everyone who is not a believer in Christ and is not watching for his return, and on the path to being spiritually begotten, is unwittingly a member of that great church.
Because I am Watching
