Revolutionary War and the subsequent formation of the United States of America,” said Arcadia.
“How could you possibly know all these things,” asked Washington?
“How could I possibly have arrived at Mount Vernon in a helicopter?”
“Are you trying to tell me that you are here from the future?”
“What possible other reason could there be? You saw the helicopter. You see this plasma screen with perfect high definition color that magically comes from this disc, out of this machine. Who else but a person from the future could possibly possess such technology?”
“To what purpose,” asked Washington?
“Our purposes are the same. You will fight to have a United States. I am fighting to preserve a United States.”
“You’d better tell me the whole truth,” said Washington.
“You want it sugar-coated or right between the eyes?”
“Speak plainly, woman!” cried Washington.
“Very well, here is the truth. I am from the year 2025. The United States has just been attacked with monstrous weapons. We have 150 million people dead. I prayed for understanding to this atrocity and a vision of God appeared before me. God has determined that in order for this event to be erased I must come back to this time and correct the errors of the past 275 years. It is God who is making this possible. No one can move in time, except God. My mission today is to show you the future of the United States right up to our current crisis and gain your support along with Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, and Hamilton to know the whole truth and convince your fellow countrymen to follow the correct course of history.”
“I gather that you have other ways of providing me with proof?”
“I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t. And the first thing I’m going to do to prove it is just for you.”
“What would that be?”
“I’m going to give you a brand new set of real teeth, George.”
Washington laughed for the first time, “That would be miraculous, indeed.”
“I have another six hours of video for you to watch. You won’t like it, but it’s also the truth.”
“Perhaps, we should have something to eat. Are you hungry?”
“I’m starved,” said Arcadia. “It’s already been a long day.”
“Then come and we shall have our lunch,” smiled Washington.
As the two of them were eating a lunch of sausages, bread, hard-boiled eggs, and some cheese, topped off with water that was laced with wine, Washington looked across the table at Arcadia. “Why do I believe you?”
“I think you are getting some help from the Creator,” said Arcadia with true sincerity. He knew this would be the hardest part. I believe He has put trust in your heart.”
“Divine Providence,” said Washington, “I believe in that. Something I have difficulty in comprehending is why your group in the future would send a woman.”
“You will understand, Mr. Washington, the country will evolve over the centuries. However, the answer is found right here in this time. You will write, or rather Thomas Jefferson will write ‘All men are created equal; that they are ordained by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’ You must agree that the use of the term ‘men’ is a metaphor for all humanity and includes by definition, women.”
“In the broad interpretation of those words, very good words of great importance, I would have to agree that women would also be included in that statement.”
“I was selected to direct this huge operation for the simple reason that the Lord spoke to me in a vision. My father says that the reason for that is that he believes that, as David, I am a person after God’s own heart.”
“Is that true?”
“I try to follow the advice of Paul, who says that we should pray continuously, and as he writes in Romans 12, ‘Do not conform any longer to the pattern of the world, but by
