# John Rodgers on the Blessings of Providence to the United States of America

“What great things has the God of Providence done for our race! By the revolution we this day celebrate, he has provided an asylum for the oppressed, in all the nations of the earth, whatever may be the nature of the oppression. And that, while he is hereby accomplishing those great things, that are opening the way for the more general spread of the gospel, in its purity and power; and in due time, the universal establishment of the Messiah’s kingdom, in all its benign efficacy on the hearts and lives of men, Interesting events that lie before us, in the grand system of Providence! How glorious the prospects which these scenes open upon human nature!” — [**John Rodgers**](/authors/john-rodgers), *The Divine Goodness Displayed in the American Revolution* (1784), p. 30
