“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” Ps.127:1

     In the war between Christ and Satan, good and evil, virtue and vice, there is a demarcation point where each cannot cross. In the rules of engagement between Christ and Satan, Jesus cannot and will not take any steps with His children that lead to their hurt. This includes the use of tyranny, coercion and ridicule to gain their homage. Satan, of course is not bound by these moral guidelines. His sophistries of nature’s wrath, temptation, impulse, deception, coercion of religion, government and law give him an advantage. His powers, as “the prince of this world,” if not held in check by the GOD of heaven, would have brought a very different world for us to be born into. Little attention is given to the lengths of evil when given opportunity, and the bleak view of life that would be experienced by every creature, great and small. And in this modern age the LORD set up a standard to hold back the tide of Satan's tyranny: The Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights, and the Constitution of the United States.

     The most profound principle of Scripture declares that every hardship we face as a nation need not exist! This is one of the most amazing promises of GOD found in the Bible. And from time to time this peace has existed within certain lands at certain times in history. But in our day, every hardship and betrayal of trust exists solely due to Luciferians who stand in power, in whose decisions alone are the cause of every, war, lost job, failed crop, and disease. They have usurped our founder’s best intentions for our nation’s best interest and replaced the peaceful virtue designed within those magnanimous words of our founding fathers with the words of violence that always work against virtue.

     The dignity of life truly means nothing to these men and women. The fact that we see nature’s destructive power increasing in both rates and severity shows the trend of our nation via America's overlords. For they have refused the Voice of GOD in their hearts, and follow the voice of destruction. And as they destroy their own souls they bring down everyone around them, leading them to share the same fate: a fate the Bible calls, “the second death.” (But this was the death Jesus was willing to die alone to keep His children from having to face.)

     To get a handle on this concept of GOD'S Protecting Hand, let us read the opening words of the LORD promising to any nation that comes under the umbrella of His jurisdiction, that there will be no threat of disease, ‘natural’ disaster or war, but only blessings on every hand and peace on every side.

“If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely… For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.” Lev.26:3-5,9-12.

“And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee.” Deut.7:13-15.

"And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them." Deut.28:2-14.

     But GOD’S Word also gives the warning should men give in to Satan’s temptations to commit evil:

“But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.” Deut.28:15

“And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. Lev.26:14-20.

“Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.” Deut.28:16-22.

     GOD, being All-Sovereign bears all responsibility for everything that takes place in the Earth because of His foreknowledge of the rise of sin long before His first step in the Creation of life in the heavens. Before the first star, angel or man was formed, “the Son of God” knew He would die on the Cross of Calvary. This is the Omniscient GOD of Creation! But GOD will be vindicated in every case that He does not bear the blame! For the abuse of His gift of a freewill to walk in either virtue or vise has been the culprit for every crime against the dignity of life. And freewill, GOD will never take away. So He must allow sin to reach its conclusion on the Earth that all can see its destination: “he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.” Prov.8:36. To commit sin is to commit suicide against the “eternal life” offered through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

     But to those individuals who choose the jurisdiction of the life-giving power of Jesus Christ, the LORD promises: “And I will rebuke the devourer [Satan] for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.” Mal.3:11.

     There is no neutral ground in the spiritual battlefield taking place on the Earth today. We will stand safe in the end by living a virtuous life or we will fall by indulging in unholy pursuits and refuse the LORD’S work of restoration of bonding our heart to that of His Own.
