“The Sixth Miracle, We the people, the Miracle of Philadelphia.”
The bright light of the new era of freedom bursts forth upon a signed and completed United States Constitution. The five miracles establishing the Declaration are not complete without the miracle of the Constitution. Likewise the Constitution fails if not interpreted in light of the grand principles of the Declaration. The Constitution is the “how to” manual to deliver the promise of the Declaration. The Declaration is the pedigree of authority, the covenant and vows of marriage between God, the People and the government. The enemies of the Constitution, the enemies of religious principle and the enemies of the rights and responsibilities of the people despise the Declaration as the interpretive filter. God raised up wise men, inspired their words, fortified their resolve to complete and tempered their prejudice to bring together this, the world first written national Constitution. Larry Winborg’s love of this document is captured in his art. Benjamin Franklin said it well when this work was nearing completion. Reflecting upon the sun symbol on the back of Washington’s chair and the difficulty in telling if it was setting or rising. He now testified that it is a rising sun!
