- This is the NationalMonument to the Forefathers,

one of the most complexmonuments in America.

But with so much knowledgeand wisdom packed into

the granite and all aroundit's many surfaces and sides.

But it's wisdom most kidsaren't gonna learn about

in today's secular education system.

In reenactments pilgrimdescendant, Paul Jehle,

tries to keep the pilgrim's wisdom alive

for future generations.

- America's school children,especially those of faith

who really believe in Jesus Christ,

need to know their own heritage.

And their own heritage werepeople who were willing to die

for those beliefs and weoften take them for granted.

And because of thatthere's this giant gap.

- [Paul S.] This monumentcould fill that gap

since it provides a completeguide to the pilgrim's keys to

liberty, godliness and success.

It's overarching lesson,people must have faith.

That's the name of this massive statue

dominating the rest of the monument.

- [Paul J.] She's pointingdirectly to Heaven.

In other words a pilgrim wasa child of the Reformation.

They believed there was onlyone way to have a relationship

to God and that was through Jesus Christ.

- [Paul S.] It's importantthat Faith holds an open bible.

Which only happened afterthe Reformation made it

available to all.

The Holy Spirit, oftendescribed as a wind,

is blowing it open.

- [Paul J.] They believeif the Holy Spirit

didn't open up the scripturesyou wouldn't understand

what it meant anyway.

- [Paul S.] On Faith's forehead, a star,

which represents honor.

- Why is it on her forehead?

Because the pilgrims believedthat you could reason from

the scriptures and find outwhat God said about anything.

And therefore there wasthis honor of the intellect.

- [Paul S.] Her footrests on Plymouth Rock,

their unintended landingspot in the New World.

- They were blown off course.

They were intended to go down

where you'd have Manhattan is today.

And so here they're blown off course

and yet the pilgrims wouldn'thave looked at it that way.

They would say no we were brought here by

the providence of God.

- [Paul S.] That'sbecause if they had landed

at their intended destination,the settled colony,

they would have remainedunder Old World law.

On their own, they set their own laws

in the Mayflower Compact.

Revolutionizing how theworld could be governed.

- The compact begins in the name of God,

we whose names are underwritten

and then the loyal subjects of our King.

So it's God to the peopleand then to the government.

That would foreshadow theDeclaration of Independence.

We are given our rightsendowed by our creator

and then we form agovernment by our consent.

- [Paul S.] Below Faithsits Morality, without eyes

because the pilgrims believed Morality

should be self controlled.

She provides the guide, however,

with the Ten Commandments in one hand

and the Book of Revelation in the other.

Representing Old and New Testament,

both crucial for guiding a person's sense

of right and wrong.

- Their whole morality externallywas based on the Bible.

Not part of the Bible, the whole Bible.

- [Paul S.] Another statue,Liberty, wears the Armor of God.

Ready to defend Freedom,but his sword is not drawn.

- You don't aggressivelyadvance the kingdom of Christ

by sword, you never do that.

It's done peacefully.

- [Paul S.] SinceEngland's symbol is a lion,

there's a dead one behind the statue

symbolizing that the pilgrim'schoices in the New World

had set them free from thetyranny of the Old World.

Right below Liberty is thelanding on Plymouth Rock.

- [Paul J.] It's not a badthing for a Nation to be founded

on a rock, especially when arock symbolizes their beliefs.

That they were unwilling to compromise,

that they drew from the Bible

that were convictions in their heart.

- [Paul S.] Jehle wishes all Americans

would learn these lessons.

- We need to recognize that aspire to that

and once again reteach our children

and reteach it in such away that they embrace it

in their heart, not just their head.

- [Paul S.] Jehle believesthat if Americans follow what's

represented on this monument,

they will see a blessed life and land.

- If you live it out in your character,

you're likely to make peace

and you're likely to see,as the Parable of Jesus,

a mustard tree grow with enough shade

so that all people, everywhere,can be blessed under it.

- This is truly a stunning work of art.

What you learn as you study it

is what's really stunning

are the many incidents and people

memorialized in this stone.

And the character, moralityand virtues they lived out,

they began to transform this New World

into the shining city ona hill they prayed for.
