Andrew Thomas, writing in the Militia News
[www.militanews.com], cites a number of quotes from world leaders, past
and present. Men like Vladimir Lenon & Joseph Stalin. We could add
any number of others and find the same things. The common thread is
their disdain for the common man and ruthless efforts to re-orient the
world in their own image.
Ex: “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” “The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency.” “Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.” “Democracy is indispensable to socialism.” “Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” “I think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution because I actually believe in redistribution…” “We can’t just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people.”
These are quotes from early 20th century, to our current political situation. I’m certain we could find the same sentiments going all the way back to the days of Noah. Politically and Financially ambitious men [and women] have shared these ideals, from the beginning of time. They speak of re-creating society (and the world) in a totalitarian system with one or a few people in charge of the everything. It is a humanist ideal; an atheistic ideal; a God-denying ideal.
If you watch the trends it becomes clear that societies are increasingly debauched; self-absorbed and libertine. A recent Poll indicated that younger people are not so sure Capital Punishment is effective. Look for that element of our judicial system to go away, over the next decade or so. Such is the flexibility of our legal system that absolute standards no longer exist. Yet, without Capital Punishment there is No Law! There are only suggestions; guidelines. It is being reported that Dinesh D’Souza has been charged with giving too much money to a particular political candidate. His bail is significantly higher than that of several violent criminals charged in that same court. That’s not justice. It’s not even fair.
Christians are waking up….a little late. We are starting to see what’s going on. However, we do not realize how serious is The Hour. We do not fight against flesh and blood, but against the forces of wickedness in high places [in the heavens]. The heart of mankind is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things….beyond knowing. By looking respectable and speaking words of encouragement, many politicians, preachers and other power-brokers have deceived the majority. We are currently being distracted by a spate of furry, fluffy, sweet-sounding ideals and doctrines so as to keep us busy with feeling good, while the world goes to hell in a hand-basket.
I’m speaking of the current Evangelical Church! This once solid organization is now steeped in Mysticism and Self-Satisfying Foolishness, while the world languishes without hope. Christians are joining political action committees; marching on Washington and generally hoping to influence a new generation of politicians to straighten things out. Americans need to do these things! We still live in a country where we have The Vote! As long as we have it, we need to exercise it. Failure means they take it away from us.
However, the Real Battle is being waged in our hearts. God’s people are a very small number of the total population of any country, and of the world. Yet, when God’s people pray, the Halls of Heaven vibrate. Jesus said, IF you abide in Me and My word abides in you…you may ask anything you will and it shall be done unto you. [Jn. 15:7] I don’t believe this means getting your guy or gal elected to office, necessarily. God has His own Plan. What it DOES mean is that Christians are to ‘abide in Christ.’ I believe our current state of affairs, in America, is due largely to the spiritual slide of God’s people. With a strong Church, none of this immorality would be able to stand. Today, however, so-called Christians are defending homosexuality as right and good. That’s as far down as any society can go!
Fight The Battle! Vote! Stand Up For Right! But, first, fight the battle of your own heart. In God’s economy, BEING supersedes DOING
