The year 2020 marks 400 years since the Mayflower Compact. That was the first instance of a society and nation being founded " for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith." Just as Israel was 400 years being formed as a nation in Egypt , the American colonies started well but have turned from their original purpose. Gen. 15:13 ; Acts 7:6.
