Inauguration..

Bible verses used by America's presidents when taking office.

1. George Washington opened his Bible at Genesis 49:13 "Zebulun will live by the seashore and become a haven for ships; his border will extend toward Sidon." He used a Masonic Bible, referred to now as the Washington Bible and his swearing in as chief executive took place in New York City, the Nation's temporary capital prior to Washington D.C.

2. Ronald Reagan chose 2Chronicles 7:14 : "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." His mother, to whom the Bible belonged, is said to have underlined the verse and scribbled next to it: "this verse is good for the healing of a nation."

3. When Barack Obama was sworn into office as the 44th president of America, he did so with his left hand placed on a Bible and right hand raised heavenward as he uttered the oath of office.

4. The right-hand gives the greater blessing! Thus the Christian tradition of shaking hands, saluting, and taking the oath with the right hand.. Gen48:17 "And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head".

Remembering: After Noah, the Ark was taken away.. and, Moses saw the ONE bush, but we see TWO !
