“An Appeal to Heaven” – “Liberty Tree, an appeal to God” - 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

(2) But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. (3) For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters wicked things. (4) No one calls for justice; no one pleads his case with integrity. They rely on empty arguments and speak lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.
