Ancient Israel had no king, mandatory literacy, and private land ownership 3,000 years before America existed, and the men who founded the United States studied it obsessively. Historian Bill Federer joins Lance Wallnau to reveal the "Hebrew Republic" blueprint hidden inside America's founding, and how it shaped the Constitution you live under today. In this episode, Bill Federer traces how the Puritans and Pilgrims looked past King Saul to ancient Israel's 400 year run with no monarchy, a nation where even children could read, land was permanently owned by families, and leaders like Deborah were elected on merit, not bloodline. You'll learn why John Calvin's writings pioneered government without a king, why James Madison spent a year studying Hebrew before drafting the Constitution, and what the First Amendment was actually written to prevent. Then Lance tells the untold story of what Declaration signers like Richard Stockton, Charles Carroll, and Stephen Hopkins actually sacrificed to defend it: homes burned, families imprisoned, and a will that left nothing but faith.
