The faithful acknowledge the hand of God in all things. It is evident that the evolution of humanity is guided, not random; “the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” (Gen. 1:2). There is a particular instance, subtle until after the fact, having great import on the modern world. The holy sword of St. Catherine given the Blessed Virgin Joan of Arc, wielded by the hand of the Lord, is thrust 500 years into the future slaying the dragon of fascist Germany. In summary: 15th century France is being conquered by Briton. A 14-year-old peasant girl has a vision of a sword hidden behind an altar in St Catherine’s Church, leads an army given to her by the French Dauphine Charles VII resulting in restoring France as a nation. 300 years later, French King Louis XVI’s support is the major cause of victory in the American Revolutionary war for independence from Briton. Without France, instead of an immense America from sea to shining sea, there would have been 4 to 6 small North American nations. In another 200 years, WWII Allies barely defeat fascist Germany. Without the industrial strength of a United States of America, the likely loss of WWII challenges the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God’s eternal plan for the millennial return of the Messiah ruling in unity from Jerusalem (Israel) and the New Jerusalem (Zion) on the American continent.
