Patrick Henry matured when political unrest between Great Britain and the American colonies roiled daily life. He had no particular career until he became a lawyer and no special skill but his sending voice. Colonists called it that for his ability to be heard half a mile away.
He used that voice in 1763 to protest Britain’s claim to set the salaries of American preachers. (At a time when state-supported Anglican church ruled religious life.) Again in 1765 to protest the English Stamp Tax. And again in 1775 to stir the House of Burgesses to either protest his boldness or applaud his daring. That sending voice remained his most powerful weapon. A skill, someone said, that made it worthwhile just to hear Patrick Henry “announce the weather.” Story of America, p. 69 MANY references exist in the Bible to GOD’S VOICE. Whenever he speaks, in either testament, he SENT it powerfully. Consider just a few times in Genesis and Exodus:

However, that SENDING voice will be universally powerful at the end when:
-- his archangel’s command -- his trumpet blast. All heard all over the earth and into the sea, and shaking the heavens into dissolution Peter 3:10. This is hardly an introduction to the impact of GOD’S VOICE in history. Study the subject for yourself.
