Glenn Beck's Plan to Restore America's Covenant With God Thwarted by COVID-19

A year ago, Glenn Beck announced that he intended to hold an event in the summer of 2020 during which he and those who gathered with him would renew America’s covenant with God.

“We have to repeat [George] Washington and [Abraham] Lincoln,” Beck said in July 2019. “We have to do it right and we, as a people, need to gather together and do it. So, next summer, we are going to do it.”

In December 2019, Beck announced that this “Restoring The Covenant” event would take place in Gettysburg, PA, on July 4, 2020, provided that God would perform some unnamed “miracle” that Beck said was needed to ensure the event could take place. Beck wouldn’t say what this miracle was, because that was all part of God’s master plan.

“I know I am supposed to do another Restoring event and that event is Restoring The Covenant, and it’s supposed to happen in Gettysburg, and it’s supposed to happen on July 4,” Beck said. “It’s just going to take a miracle. Pray for a miracle. I don’t want to tell you what it has to be because I think God wants me to understand, ‘It has nothing to do with you.’ And he wants, I believe, to show his power. So pray.”

In December, he got some people to pray for a miracle - and Covid-19 happened, and certainly guided Beck's plans. I mean, if you believe in miracles, this seems pretty definite.

Since when did Washington or Lincoln make a "covenant with God"? Or America, for that matter?

The God of the 10 Plagues and Job’s sufferings and all is pretty capricious, Glenn Beck.
