Great Britain's Chaos - Part 1
The Covenanters Most Christians are aware that it was James I of England who had the Kings James Version of the Bible translated. But few are aware of what he tried to do to the Presbyterians in Scotland and the Puritan Parliament in his own country. And very few are aware of what that meant for the English colonies in the America.

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 28:48
Oliver Cromwell was a Protestant Puritan Calvinist, but the crimes which he committed were many. A few of his major atrocities were:
- He replaced Parliament with his own people
--Puritans.
- He confiscated the lands of his one-time friends, then declared them his enemies, and gave their lands to his close followers.
- He killed thousands of non-Puritan Christians who surrendered to his armies.
- His armies looted cities, killed his opponents and their wives and children.
- Ships were loaded with tens of thousands of Catholic captives from Ireland to be sold into slavery in Virginia and elsewhere in the Caribbean.
- In the 1650’s, against public outcry, he opened England’s gates to international Jewish bankers, thereby infecting England with usury for the first time in almost 400 years.
This last crime committed by Cromwell is not well known to the world. It is left out of many history books. But it is written in enough books that it is well-known among true historians.
