Defense of Armageddon: Or Our Great Country Foretold in the Holy Scriptures is a book written by Fountain E. Pitts in 1862. The book is a religious and political treatise that explores the idea that the United States of America is the prophesied ""New Jerusalem"" mentioned in the Bible. Pitts argues that the founding of the United States was divinely inspired and that the country has a special role to play in the end times.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Pitts' argument. He begins by discussing the prophecies in the Old Testament that he believes predict the rise of the United States. He then goes on to examine the history of the country, arguing that its founding was guided by God and that its success is a testament to divine providence.Pitts also discusses the Civil War, which was raging at the time he wrote the book. He argues that the war is a sign of the end times and that the United States will emerge from it stronger and more unified than ever before.Throughout the book, Pitts quotes extensively from the Bible to support his arguments. He also draws on the writings of other religious figures and historians to bolster his case.Overall, Defense of Armageddon is a fascinating look at the intersection of religion and politics in the United States during the Civil War era. It offers a unique perspective on the country's history and its place in the world, and is sure to be of interest to anyone interested in American history or religious studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
