“I believe in the United States of America,” said Elizabeth Clare Prophet:

    “What is the United States of America? How can we believe in it if we do not know what it is? It is my opinion that most people in this country no longer know what the United States is and, therefore, they no longer believe in it.

    “What is it then? Is it a people who declared their independence from King George? And what do we mean by revolution?—the war?

    “John Adams said that ‘that was no part of the Revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The Revolution was in the minds of the people.’”

 Elizabeth Clare Prophet then spoke about the importance of “The American’s Creed,” by William Tyler Page:

    “Saint Germain placed upon my heart his deep desire that Americans should understand their own creed, because a creed—specifically our national creed—is the very foundation of our life. It’s like the tenets of a church.

    “When we no longer understand our creed or our principles, then our society and our nation begins to break down. When people cease to understand their religious creeds, like the Apostles’ Creed, then their faith and their church—their religion—breaks down.

    “A creed is a formula. Webster says it’s ‘an authoritative formula of religious belief.’ It is the nucleus, the alchemy, of what makes everything else hang together. It’s your set of values, your belief system.

    “Ours was written down in 1917, no doubt inspired by Saint Germain in the very hours when the Communist revolution came upon Mother Russia and when Mother Mary appeared at Fátima.”
