“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” Just after the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776, a committee of Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin worked to design a great seal for the United States – and it included that powerful phrase on the reverse. While we don’t know who originally wrote it, we can trace its roots to Jonathan Mayhew’s widely read but mostly forgotten 1750 sermon on resisting tyranny. In it, he laid the moral and philosophical foundation for the Revolution – and in this episode, you’re going to learn all about it.Path to Liberty: September 25, 2024 Subscribe: Apple | Spotify | Podbean | Youtube Music | Stitcher | TuneIn | RSS | More Platforms HereSHOW LINKS:JOIN TACShow ArchivesJohn Adams – Letter to to Hezekiah Niles (13 Feb 1818)John Adams – Letter to William Tudor, Sr. (5 Apr 1818)Wiki: Thomas MayhewKegan Foley – West End MuseumBiblia – Romans Eric Patterson – Providence MagThomas Aquinas – Commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard (c. 1254–1256)Sarah Morgan Smith, Ellen Deitz Tucker, David Tucker – Teaching American HistoryFull Text – A discourse concerning unlimited submission and non-resistance to the higher powers (1750)Patrick Henry – Virginia Resolves Against the Stamp Act (1765)Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress (14 Oct 1774)Lysander Spooner – No Treason No VI (1870)Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms (6 July 1775)Lysander Spooner – A Defence for Fugitive Slaves (1850)Gary Galles – Mises InstituteDeclaration of IndependenceJohn Adams – Novanglus III (6 Feb 1775)MORE VIDEO SOURCESWatch on RumbleWatch on OdyseeWatch on XWatch on MindsWatch on FacebookWatch on BitchuteWatch on TikTokWatch on BrighteonFOLLOW and SUPPORT TAC:Become a Member: http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/members/Email Newsletter: http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/registerRSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/tacdailydigestThe post Rebellion to Tyrants: The Sermon that Sparked the Revolution first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.
