On his third voyage, lots of the individuals he was governing turned towards him and accused him of the very issues they had been doing. Sound acquainted?
They shipped him in chains to the King and Queen of Spain, who had financed his voyages. After they heard the info, they set him free.
Within the video “The Historical past of Christopher Columbus,” President of WallBuilders Tim Barton mentioned, “Immediately, individuals are accusing Christopher Columbus of being responsible of issues that he was truly pardoned for again then. As a result of once you undergo due course of, when the info come out, info matter.”
So why are the lies being propagated 533 years after he first found what would turn into America?
Within the video, historian and founding father of WallBuilders, David Barton, mentioned, “We’ve by no means seen fact being introduced down the way in which we see it as we speak, so intentionally.”
Aim 31 of the Communist Occasion USA, as learn into the Congressional File in 1963, is “Belittle all types of American tradition and discourage the instructing of American historical past on the bottom that it was solely a minor a part of ‘the large image.’”
Killing and Enslaving
The most important accusations towards Columbus are genocide and slavery.
David Barton tells how Columbus befriended the Taino tribe when he landed in what he thought was an island off the shore of India.
Mr. Barton mentioned:
He wrote again to the King and Queen, and he wrote in his journals about how the Tainos are the kindest and gentlest individuals, and to the King and Queen, he mentioned, these individuals should be residents. They want the rights of residents. They want equal rights.
A number of the Tainos requested to return with Columbus, and Mr. Barton mentioned, “They really turn into a part of the royal court docket in Spain.”
The Tainos warned Columbus and his males of a tribe referred to as the Caribs, which impressed the identify Caribbean. They had been often known as the Cannibs, and that impressed the phrase cannibal. This tribe was actually going island to island, actually consuming everybody who lived there. They enslaved the ladies and raped them as a result of they preferred the style of infants. They had been those responsible of genocide.
Although Columbus couldn’t imagine such accusations had been true, he returned on his second voyage to seek out the village he had left behind burned down and the inhabitants killed or kidnapped. In response, Columbus attacked and subdued that Cannibs.
He Needed Gold
One of many accusations leveled towards Columbus was that he was grasping. David Barton mentioned:
He needs the gold to have the ability to liberate the Center East earlier than the return of Christ, and so, considerably, what he tells the King and Queen is, “I want that every one the earnings of this my enterprise could also be despatched to the conquest of Jerusalem.” Yeah, he needed gold, however it was due to the Muslim conquerors, attempting to get it again out of their arms into the arms of Christians and Jews.

The Lord Used Columbus
On the inaugural IFA Coverage and Prayer occasion in October 2022, Constitutional scholar Cynthia Dunbar mentioned, “America was birthed by the Lord.”
What follows is a recording of her describing a prophetic imaginative and prescient of America. Spoiler alert: In case you don’t take heed to her story first, I’m going to present away her massive shock within the subsequent paragraph:
Ms. Dunbar shared how a missionary to Muslims was stoned practically to dying. Sailors discovered him and had been taking him again to his homeland. They realized he wasn’t going to make it to shore. Ms. Dunbar mentioned:
In order that they stand him as much as look and see his homeland one final time. And as he does, God drops the prophetic consciousness in his spirit, and he turns the opposite method. And he factors to the place they don’t suppose there’s something. And he says, throughout these waters is one other land. Their individuals have no idea God. Ship males there. He prophetically declared the existence of America. And the sailors go residence. After which they begin telling this story to their kids and their kids’s kids. And one in every of these grandchildren caught it of their spirit. He knew there was a divine appointment, like, “I used to be created for a objective like this.” And in order that grandchild grew up and mentioned, “I have to go over there.” And that was Christopher Columbus.
In his journal, Columbus usually quoted Scripture. Within the video, David Barton mentioned, “He reads by way of the scriptures, and when the Lord actually impresses him with a verse about how individuals have to know the gospel, or how God goes to do one thing in the long run instances, he writes all of it down.”
Barton tells about Columbus’ Ebook of Prophecies, and he quoted from it:
I’ve seen and put within the examine to look into all of the Scriptures. … Our Lord opened my understanding. I may sense His hand upon me. … All those that heard about my enterprise rejected it with laughter, scoffing at me. Who doubts that this illumination is from the Holy Spirit?
