Four Holy Books of Manifest Destiny

**The Four Holy Books of Manifest Destiny**, sometimes simply known as **The Four Books**, were written by the Prophet Aaron Burr, published in 1813, and served as the foundation of the American Fundamentalist Christian Church.

## *The Book of Manifestum*

The Book of Manifestum described the Angel of Destiny showing the Prophet Burr the story of God's people through the eons, and that America was to be the site of the New Jerusalem.

> (Verse 1) *And lo, the Angel of Destiny showed himself through the din and smoke of battle that day, and he did reveal to me Jehovah's plan. For God Our Lord has lifted us above all other nations. A shining city upon a hill, we shall worship Jehovah and build for him an altar in the evening dews and damps.*
>

> ( Verse 2) *Yea, whoever shall stand against us shall be struck down with thunderous fury, for the Angel of Destiny has told us to march on. We shall build a watchfire, and prepare the New Jerusalem to receive our Savior and his cohort of past patriot-saints upon his Second Coming. Amen.*

## *The Book of Fati*

The Book of Fati took a decidedly more apocalyptic tone, warning that those who stood against America would be utterly destroyed.

> (Verse 1) *And in the midst of our trials and tribulations, we know these are the End of Days. The Scions of Satan who descended from the snowy hills of the Canadian wilderness, like so many barbaric hordes of demons from the pit of hell, wreaked havoc and brought shame and dishonor upon our Christian Land. The Angel of Destiny revealed himself to me once more, bringing visions of what had been and what will be. I saw again the Martyrs, the Patriot-Saints Benedict Arnold and Daniel Shayes, in their last death gurgles. I saw the bloody snow of Valley Forge, and the bloody footprints of the Canadian horde as they marched upon our fair land in 1812.*

> (Verse 2) *So it was that these things were revealed unto me. And the Angel of Destiny said to me, a sword in his hand that shone like a mirror but that dripped with blood. "Fear not, faithful Aaron. For just as God has lifted thy nation above all others, so too shall Manifest Destiny be laid forth for thee. And thou shalt follow the word of Jehovah our God and bring joy and riches upon this thy nation." I was then shown visions of the future, where no more blood ran through our streets, where America stretched from sea to shining sea, through amber waves grain to purple mountains of majesty. And one flag, the Stars and Stripes, did wave over this land of free men. And everyone therein followed the Word of God.*

> (Verse 3) *And so it shall be that Manifest Destiny shall heal our wounds and sorrow. Fear not, faithful children, for the Angel of Destiny marches with us through the sands of time, both before and after and forever more, and shall bring us to fulfill these Prophecies and Visions. Stand strong, and fear not, for the Lord of Hosts is with our nation. And we shall handle serpents and drink poisons and experience tumult, but nothing shall stop us from achieving our God-given duty of Manifest Destiny. And all who are against us shall be cleansed like unto glass with Holy Fire. Amen.*

## *The Book of Patriots*

The Book of Patriots was a later revelation published in 1825 and discussed how those who died "in service to American Freedom and Unity" would not only assure themselves a spot in Heaven but also become elevated "Patriot-Saints," with some, like the Martyr Arnold, George Washington, and Daniel Shays, becoming revered figures in Fundamentalism.

## *The Book of Purity*

The Book of Purity was released in 1826, the last revelation of the Prophet Burr, and focused on elevating the "Chosen Ones" and condemning those deemed "Inferior," be they Catholics, Slavs, Irish, Italians, etc. It also taught the "Better's Burden," a belief that by forcing the Inferiors of Society to work hard and often for the construction of the New Jerusalem, they would be elevated from Hell in death and allowed to enter the eternal silence of "The Void." Thus, by working the Inferior to exhaustion or even death, it was saving their psuedo-soul from the Devil. The publishing and preaching of the Fourth Book caused massive race riots to occur all over the Republican Union, already in the midst of Colonel Charles Goodyear's New Slavery and Industrial Revolution. This racial violence would eventually lead to the foundation of the Republican Union Military Police.
