You shall not make for yourself any gods of cast metal.
-Exodus 34:15

See, I  lay a stone in Zion, attested stone, a precious corner stone for a sure foundation…
-Isaiah 28:16

On October 13, 1792, Lodge 9 laid the White House cornerstone. They assembled at Suter’s Tabernacle in Georgetown. Attendees included government officials, clergy, and guests. A brass plate engraved with a special inscription was deposited under the stone saying: The first stone of the president’s House was laid the 13th Day of October 1792..and in the 17th year of the independence of the USA.

The grand master poured vessels containing corn, wine, and oil on top of the stone and tapped the stone with a mallet or gravel three times to symbolically complete the exercise. This was the earliest Masonic event in Washington DC. These stones were later discovered during President Harry Truman’s time, an active Free Mason and Grand Master, who ordered the stones be extracted and preserved. In 1952, they were distributed to each state grand lodge around the nation and other lodges. Note: Corn, wine, and oil represent prosperity, health, and peace and are considered “wages of nourishment.”

George Washington was not at this ceremony but was at a similar ceremony for the US capitol on September 18, 1793 (Freemasonry and the White
House,  The White House Historical Association). A ceremonial re-enactment commemorating the 225th anniversary of laying the Capitol cornerstone was carried out on September 18, 2018. They believed the lie that ‘Freemasonry helped to instill selfless virtue, morality, equality, and brotherhood, and it could provide the right kind of sacred foundation for what this building would become” (The Katechon George Washington’s Masonic Dedication of the US Capitol Building).

Consider how embedded these symbols and actions are in our White House, Capitol Building, and other Washington, DC buildings.

We decree that every covenant and agreement made from the foundation of this nation, whether good or bad, will be revealed. As Your truth rises from the rubble of the past in these offices, exhume the evil of hypocrisy and wickedness, all secrets and false foundations to be exposed for all to see and to be judged righteously. Remove Masonry’s false prosperity, health, and peace, which are not based on who you are. Your word is like a fire and hammer that smashes the rock or stubborn resistance in pieces. Open up the floodgates and let Your Truth rise up, breaking false foundations that have been built on top of Your true Foundation (Jeremiah 23:29).

Let us pray…

We agree with Your word that all idols erected in this nation are being torn down through the prayers of Your Ekklesia. We pray that Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in the United States of America as in Heaven. We will worship You alone. All officials in all the various sectors of society who serve You in spirit and in truth will rise up in Your power and loudly proclaim Jesus is Lord.

We stand in agreement with Your word that all false cornerstones dedicated to other gods, whether deliberately or in ignorance, are also being smashed by Your gavel of justice. Weave into every false stone Your precious blood and destroy all symbols and curses spoken.

We decree that You, Lord Jesus Christ, are the Precious Cornerstone that was part of the true foundation of this nation in Jesus’ mighty Name.

The Treaty of Tripoli was signed on November 4, 1796 in Tripoli and January 3, 1797 in Algiers: The treaty was unanimously approved by the Fifth Congress and signed by President John Adams. It says”…the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” Natural law and man’s reasoning seemed to go into the thinking of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. LORD forgive us as a Church and Nation for not continuing on with the Biblical governments that characterized the colonies before the Revolutionary War. LORD only your absolute justice will prevail and not man’s which has brought us to this cross roads!

Father, Thank you that all wick structures will be removed that have been built upon Your true Foundation, in the name of Jesus.

Thank you for the history lesson. I stand in agreement with your prayer, Elizabeth and your prayer Betsy. America…you have no king but KING JESUS and you have no sovereign but GOD! The day of reckoning of all other gods, structures and foundations is here. America is being saved to fulfill her destiny.
Thank you to our covenant keeping GOD for Your faithfulness to us as a nation. Our eyes are upon You alone LORD GOD!

“You are rising like the perfectly fitted stones of the temple; and your lives have been built up together upon the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, and best of all, you are connected to the Head Cornerstone of the building, the Anointed One, Jesus Christ himself!” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Elizabeth, you have delivered truth in the most excellent way. No rock will remain unturned in the shaking and you have exposed darkness to the sanitizing Light. For all who were unaware of this unholy root, you have sounded the alarm. We agree with your declaration and believe that we will live to see repentance and restoration to the original intent of this great nation. Well done!
