Because I am a bit of a geek, I decided to make my own estimates on the crowd size at the Restoring Honor Rally held yesterday in Washington D.C. I broke out my abacus and slide rule and made a few calculations based on some photos online (OK, so it was a computer and Google maps but same thing).
I estimated the square footage of the area of the crowd at about 1.8 million square feet and used 3 square foot per person as the density and came up with about 600,000 people in the crowd.
So my guess of 600,000 people at the event, and according to the little counter on Facebook the count watching was about 127,000. Plus who knows how many people watching it on CSPN. I would say that equals over a million, but who knows?
Does the size of the crowd actually matter? Nope. Will it change the direction of this country? Nope. Esentially it is just a "pissing match" between media sources. What really matters is what people learned from the event.
This was an event based on God and love. Not race and hate (as some would have you believe). Let's say that there was only one person at the event and it changed his or her life. If that one person wanted to make a change in this country and that person prayed to God asking for help, I believe that person could do anything.
In Matthew (17:20), Jesus tells us; "If you have the faith of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
What I do know is, that there were more than two or three gathered together. Jesus also said, in Matthew 18:19-20; "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
Since I know that there was at least 56,000 people there (the lowest estimate made by CBS) I think God will be doing some awesome work in this nation.
Let NOT the momentum fade!
