The United States of Israel was born in one day on July 4, 1776. (Isaiah 66:8).

2 mighty rivers flowed from England . . . with the water of life . . . to water the soil of the barren, Satan controlled, New World wilderness.

The New World was Satan's stronghold for thousands of years. He was not about to surrender his domain without a terrible fight. Jesus said:

No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. (Mark 3:27).

The entire New World . . . from sea to shining sea . . . was the exclusive territory of the Evil One.

In 1607, English colonists crossed the ocean and landed in the wilderness of Virginia.

In 1620, English colonists crossed the ocean and landed in the wilderness of New England.

Satan was HORRIFIED that his territory was invaded.

The 3 English ships that landed at Jamestown contained a mixed multitude. Some, like Edward Maria Wingfield, were paid agents of Spain sent to sabotage the colony. Some wanted to get rich quick, and some wanted to preach the Gospel of Christ to the natives.

The Pilgrims that landed at Plymouth Rock saw themselves as the new Israel, sent out like Father Abraham, to build a great Christian nation in the wilderness:

[...]

Working through Satan's demons, the Indian witch doctors tried to curse the Christians and prevent the establishment of the new Israel . . . at any cost:

But what a wonder was it that all the bloody savages far and near did not cut off this little remnant! If he that once muzzled the lions ready to devour the man of desires (Daniel), had not admirably, I had almost said, miraculously restrained them, these had been all devoured! but this people of God were come into a wilderness to worship Him; and so He kept their enemies from such attempts, as would otherwise have soon annihilated this poor handful of men, thus far already diminished. They saw no Indians all the winter long, but such as at the first sight always ran away; yea, they quickly found, that God had so turned the hearts of these barbarians, as more to fear, than to hate his people thus cast among them. This blessed people was as a little flock of kids, while there were many nations of Indians left still as kennels of wolves in every corner of the country. And yet the little flock suffered no damage by those rapid wolves! We may and should say, "This is the Lord's doing; 'tis marvellous in our eyes."
But among the many causes to be assigned for it, one was this. It was afterwards by them confessed, that upon the arrival of the English in these parts, the Indians employed their sorcerers, whom they call powaws, like Balaam, to curse them, and let loose their demons upon them, to shipwreck them, to distract them, to poison them, or in any way to ruin them. All the noted powaws in the country spent three days together in diabolical conjuratians, to obtain the assistance of the devils against the settlement of these our English; but the devils at length acknowledged unto them, that they could not hinder those people from their becoming the owners and masters of the country; whereupon the Indians resolved upon a good correspondence with our new-comers; and God convinced them that there was no enchantment or divination against such a people. (Mather, Magnalia Christi Americana: Or, The Ecclesiastical History of New-England, pp. 54-55).

God was with the little band of Christians and thwarted all the plans of the devil to destroy them:

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (Revelation 12:14).
