This law is commonly referred to as The Old Deluder Satan Act and reminds those who read it that it is Satan who keeps mankind in darkness and away from the truth of God in His word.
"It being one chief project of that old deluder, Satan, to keep men from the knowledge of the Scriptures, as in former times by keeping them in an unknown tongue, so in these latter times by persuading from the use of tongues, that so that at least the true sense and meaning of the original might be clouded and corrupted with false glosses of saint-seeming deceivers; and to the end that learning may not be buried in the grave of our forefathers, in church and commonwealth, the Lord assisting our endeavors. It is therefore ordered that every township in this jurisdiction, after the Lord hath increased them to fifty households shall forthwith appoint one within their town to teach all such children as shall resort to him to write and read, whose wages shall be paid either by the parents or masters of such children, or by the inhabitants in general, by way of supply, as the major part of those that order the prudentials of the town shall appoint; provided those that send their children be not oppressed by paying much more than they can have them taught for in other towns. And it is further ordered, that when any town shall increase to the number of one hundred families or householders, they shall set up a grammar school, the master thereof being able to instruct youth so far as they may be fitted for the university, provided that if any town neglect the performance hereof above one year that every such town shall pay 5 pounds to the next school till they shall perform this order."
And so public education became the law in order to keep people from being deceived by Satan's lies. Yet today our laws are fueling the very evil from which these early leaders were trying to protect their children. Paganism always tries to obscure the Word of God from the masses because they know that they cannot perpetrate their evil schemes if the people know the Word of God. Our very legal system came from the Scriptures and Blackstone's commentaries on law attest to this fact. America is in the state she is currently in because the people have been deceived into believing that God does not exist. Our hope is that the 86% of Americans who say that they believe will actually take this seriously and drive these vile and evil men and women back into the darkness from which they came that they too might desire the light of God Himself. Christians, pray for revival in the Christian church and a Third Great Awakening in America. THIS is our ONLY hope!
