“Divide and conquer” is the age-old tactic for military success.
This defense-breaching principle applies to the ruin of friendships, marriages and nations. And when a nation becomes
divided, politicians and philosophers alike have encouraged national unity if a nation is to survive. Even the New Testament
Savior of the human race, Jesus Christ acknowledged the value of unity when He said, “Every kingdom divided against
itself is brought to desolation.”
America today is divided against itself. And the battleground
is over two opposing views: conservative and liberal, religious and secular; and each desires the throne of absolute control.
Their bitter struggle in the political and judicial arenas with each striving to gain the victory leaves the average American
citizen caught in the crossfire. We, as a nation are facing an increasingly resentful temperament from both conservatives
and liberals; while each assures the American people that they represent the arm of righteousness.
To
maintain both freedom and morality is an increasingly difficult task; and as the pendulum of public approval swings back and
forth between them, both Conservatives and Liberals are effectively eroding the safeguards of everyone’s safety.
As a result, the checks and balances that hold back the tide of national ruin stand in jeopardy, even to the extent that a
number of our leaders desire to remove the liberties of our Constitution in order to remedy the instability caused by the
extremists in both camps. Essentially, this is, by definition, a civil war, and the Constitutional freedoms of the United
States of America hang in the balance.
Let us realize that this situation is no different
than when little children exercise disobedience to see the extent to which they can push the boundaries of selfish behavior
before the hand of restraint comes upon them. A number of our leaders today are pushing the boundaries of their selfish
behavior in a variety of ways but there is no hand of restraint outside of Constitutional law. That’s why men
have determined its removal.
If I may suggest, the only way to meet both arguments of conservative and liberal views that cannot be logically or ethically
rejected is to first reveal the destructive nature of both of them, in light of the cost to human life throughout history.
Untold numbers of men, women and children spilled their blood that we might live in freedom today. The greatest gift
next to life is our mutual peace and freewill. But our freedom of choice must work to the benefit of all, for to bless
one class of people to the neglect of another is dishonorable. And yet, our society continuously blesses one class of
people to the acceptable devaluation of another. In fact, the competitive nature of man is so unbridled that open slander
of one another has become a way of life in our society. In light of the Ten Commandments (the only Law where we are
safe in one another’s care) all should be willing to receive counsel from its lessons repeatedly displayed throughout
history. And we owe it to one another to warn of any dangerous direction that leads to an impending doom for anyone!
Otherwise our silence condones the harmful outcome. Please understand, we’re not dealing with personal tastes
and affections, but tangible evidence of wrongdoing where the obviously harmful result cannot be refuted.
Mutual
Self Destruction
from Prideful Ignorance
To gain the trust of society, conservative and liberal politicians design momentous
speeches to give assurance of their trustworthy judgment. And in return they receive accolades from devoted supporters.
Men are eager to put their best foot forward to lead the lives of others through their inherited and cultivated values.
There are moments in history where men have been perfectly sincere in their public declarations and held integrity to their
word. But more often than not the true nature of their declaration is the same deceptive assurance that a man named
Absalom, the son of David, gave to the nation of Israel circa 3000 years ago when he said, “Oh that I were made judge
in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!” II Sam.15:4.
Follow his story through to the end and you will learn his true objective: to take the throne of Israel and murder anyone
who stood in his way, including his own father, the only man of whom GOD said, “I have found David the son of Jesse,
a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.” Acts 13:22. Absalom epitomizes the ultimate disgrace of
any son, for it perfectly delineates the relationship between Jesus Christ (the Creator) and His created angel Lucifer whose
choice to legalize sin at the very throne of heaven (Rev.12:7) betrayed his Creator—even to the plotting of His death
(Gen.3:14,15; Jn.11:49-51).
History is littered with outwardly pious men giving public assurances from an inwardly immoral character. The mouth
may speak what the heart never knows. And more often than not it is a betrayal that was premeditated knowing full well
the unethical intentions. But there was One who did not go down this road. Jesus Christ held to a simple principle—Anything
that will maximize service to GOD the Father is worthy of supreme devotion (Jn.8:29). It is this principle that the
religions of the world have contaminated, even to the point of making all manner of vows GOD never commanded: some of them
quite shameful.
We need to carry this issue of blind ambition to today’s political frontline. Both the allies and enemies of President
Barack Obama are staunch in their verdict of his character. One of President Obama’s most outspoken critics is
Alan Keyes. His statements include: “Obama is a radical communist…He is going to destroy this country…We’re
either going to stop him, or the United States of America is going to cease to exist…The man is an abomination.”—Video
interview of Allan Keyes after the election of Barack Obama. Suppose everything stated here is true. Are
we in any safer hands with Alan Keyes were he to guide the future of America? Wikipedia says of Alan Keyes: “Keyes
is a Catholic and is a third-degree Knight of Columbus…Keyes currently serves on the Board of Advisors for the Catholic
League, a non-profit, Roman Catholic, advocacy group headed by William A. Donohue.” And as for this man Donohue,
Wikipedia says: “While Donohue was in college in New York, Virgil C. Blum, a Jesuit at Marquette University in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin" [the same Jesuit college where the political tyrant Senator Joe McCarthy graduated from], "founded
the Catholic League to counter Anti-Catholicism in American culture. Blum died in 1990; in 1993, Dr. Donohue became the director
of the organization. Under his direction, the organization has become far more prominent and vocal.”
With
this brief religious background of Alan Keyes, we need to know if there are any dangers made apparent from his beliefs: to
see if his course in life would harm the lives of those led by him as he accuses President Obama of being guilty of.
Read the following words from the United States Congressional Record. It is an excerpt from the Extreme Oath of Induction
for both the Jesuit Order and the Knights of Columbus:
"…I
do further promise and declare, that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly,
against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole
earth, and that I will spare neither sex, age nor condition, and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive
these infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants’ heads against the wall,
in order to annihilate forever their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poison
cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity or authority
of the person or persons whatsoever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed
so to do by any agent of the Pope or superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith of the Society of Jesus."—House
bill 1523, Contested election case of Eugene C. Bonniwell, against Thos. S. Butler, February 15, 1913, pages 3215-16.
The
above oath, as hideous and despicable as it is to anything fair-minded, courteous and right, goes back long before its display
in the American Congress. The words of President Abraham Lincoln to his dear Catholic friend, Father Charles Chiniquy
summed it all up 48 years before the 20th Century Congressional Record:
“Two
cankers are biting the very entrails of the United States today: the Romish and the Mormon priests. Both are equally at work
to form a people of the most abject, ignorant and fanatical slaves, who will recognize no authority but their supreme pontiffs.
Both are aiming at the destruction of our schools, to raise themselves upon our ruins. Both shelter themselves under our grand
and holy principles of liberty of conscience, to destroy that very liberty of conscience, and bind the world under their heavy
and ignominious yoke.
“The Mormon and the Jesuit priests are equally the uncompromising enemies of our Constitution
and our laws; but the more dangerous of the two is the Jesuit—the Romish priest, for he knows better how to conceal
his hatred under the mask of friendship and public good; he is better trained to commit the most cruel and diabolical deeds
for the glory of God.
“Till lately, I was in favor of the unlimited liberty of conscience as our Constitution gives it to the Roman Catholics.
But now, it seems to me that, sooner or later, the people will be forced to put a restriction to that clause towards the papists.
Is it not an act of folly to give absolute liberty of conscience to a set of men who are publicly sworn to cut our throats
the very day they have the opportunity? Is it right to give the privilege of citizenship to men who are sworn and public enemies
of our constitution, our laws, our liberties, and our lives?
“The very moment that popery
assumed the right of life and death on a citizen of France, Spain, Germany, England, or the United States, it assumed to be
the power, the government of France, Spain, England, Germany, and the United States. Those States then committed a suicidal
act by allowing popery to put a foot on their territory with the privilege of citizenship. The power of life and death is
the supreme power, and two supreme powers cannot exist on the same territory without anarchy, riots, bloodshed, and civil
wars without end. When popery will give up the power of life and death, which it proclaims as its own divine power in all
its theological books and canon laws, then, and then alone, it can be tolerated and can receive the privileges of citizenship
in a free country.
“Is it not an absurdity to give to a man a thing which he has sworn to hate, curse, and destroy? And does not the Catholic
Church of Rome hate, curse, and destroy liberty of conscience whenever she can do it safely? I am for liberty of conscience
in its noblest, broadest, highest sense. But I cannot give liberty of conscience to the pope and to his followers, the papists,
so long as they tell me, through all their councils, theologians, and canon laws, that their conscience orders them to burn
my wife, strangle my children, and cut my throat when they find their opportunity! This does not seem to be understood by
the people today. But sooner or later, the light of common sense will make it clear to every one that no liberty of conscience
can be granted to men who are sworn to obey a pope, who pretends to have the right to put to death those who differ from him
in religion.”—Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, by Father Charles Chiniquy, pg. 300.
We
must keep in mind that the court records on the assassination of America’s beloved President, Abraham Lincoln, show
that four Roman Catholic conspirators hanged for the crime, including the mastermind, John Surrat, who was chased from the
Ford Theater (along with the hit man John Wilkes Booth) by the State Department until he was finally apprehended in the pope’s
private army. Another historical fact: the highly venerated Pope Pius IX (the pope of Lincoln’s day) confirms
President Lincoln’s appraisal of the Vatican’s true relationship with the Constitutional freedoms of the United
States of America: “The absurd and erroneous doctrines or ravings in defense of the liberty of conscience is a most
pestilential error; an error above all others most to be dreaded in a state.”—Encyclical Letter, August
15, 1854. There is not one verse in the Holy Bible that even hints at GOD’S doing away with man’s freedom
to choose, and yet, Rome to this day has no problem taking it away.
Has anything changed in the doctrines
of Rome, who have taken it upon themselves to scrap two of the Ten Commandments? Or have they reversed the age-old doctrine
declaring immortality to little children in the fires of hell who refuse subservience to their version of religious law?
Have the Jesuit priests, who came into being specifically to counter the Reformation of the Christian Church, suddenly changed
their objectives and values? Are these men any more devoted to Sacred Scripture today than when they burned human beings
at the stake? Simply because they have no civil authority to do so is no indicator of their abstaining from it when
opportunity presents itself, especially in light of the vow that is taken to crush anything and anyone standing in their way.
Dear reader, this has been Satan’s government all along!!! To destroy anyone standing in his way to ultimate
supremacy! And men have been his puppets from day one. It’s time to open our eyes. If the Cold War
spawned the evils of espionage and covert activity how much more so when it comes to the souls of men!
The Forecast of Universal Disobedience
to GOD: The Tower of Babel Fulfilled
Do you see where I’m going with
this? The human race is being played the fool (II Pet.2:18-21) by those who claim to serve GOD (Matt.15:7-9) in a religious
system of Bible contradictions, confusion and hypocrisy. We’re so distracted with the suicidal fanatics of Islam
that we ignore the enemies within—and there are many. The nation of America is in a checkmate situation where
nearly every voice, religious and secular alike, that carries weight in the decisions of society is an unconverted, carnal
mind. And the Apostle Paul said in no uncertain terms: “the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject
to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” Rom.8:7. These words are most apropos to the world’s leading
religion who claim allegiance to Jesus Christ while the Ten Commandment Law He obeyed to save the human race has been disqualified
as the criteria of GOD’S acceptance and replaced with the demand of implicit subservience to the Roman Church.
But Christ calls all mankind to obey as He obeyed: “to walk, even as He walked,” through His grace. The
message of the Gospel is clear: Through GOD’S power drawing humble obedience to “the royal law…the law
of liberty” His Presence legally and literally dwells in the humble suppliant (Jn.14:15-18; Ja.2:8-12). Without
His Presence in our lives we have no strength to accomplish the Sacred Obedience GOD calls for (Jn.15:5) nor can we be raised
with the righteous at the 2nd Advent (Rom.8:11). And all who choose to “fall away” from that
“still, small, voice” they “crucify to themselves the Son of GOD afresh, and put Him to an open shame.”
Just
how can this most powerful religion of Earth seated in Rome, or any other that defies the Sacred Law that is as old as
eternity, stand among the righteous before the GOD of heaven in the end of time? It is a technical, ethical and
legal impossibility.
Over
a century ago, a most spiritually courageous man, Alonzo T. Jones, a Seventh-day Adventist Minister who spoke before Congress
in 1888 to rebuke the “Blair Bill” containing a federal law enforcing the national worship of GOD on Sunday, summed
up a principle that will continue with mankind until the 2nd Advent of Jesus Christ: “The carnal mind is
the mind of Satan.” This statement is verified throughout history: from the first murderer, Cain, to “the
false prophet” of our day: the ruling church with its harlot daughters (Rev.17:5) that Paul warned would come and thoroughly
disgrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ: “for this cause GOD shall send them strong delusion [allow Satan to work his deceptive
magic through temptations and miracles (Rev.16:14)], that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed
not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” II Th.2:11,12. Therefore, the leadership and destiny of American
society rests with those who are subservient to the system of religion and government that guarantees their own termination;
and without the victory of the LORD Jesus Christ none would escape the condemnation of the common sins we see smothering the
church and blanketing our world, ushering all life to extinction (Isa.14:12-17).
The
remedy is so simple, holy and endearing; and yet, the sinful nature bucks at it with impulsive “gut” decisions
that stifle the convictions of conscience as empowered by the Holy Ghost on the minds of men. And yet, through thick
and thin the LORD knows His Own, from all walks of life, and He will lead them, teach them, and prepare them to stand before
His Grace.
In closing, why does GOD allow Satan to increase his power to control people’s lives? Men demand GOD remove His
presence for it inhibits the freedom to live in sin. GOD never stays where He’s not wanted, just as Jesus left
the country of the Gergesenes when asked to leave (Matt.8:28-34). But men are blind to the fact that when GOD leaves,
the Source of Life leaves. GOD gave the clearest warning of this by His prophet Hosea, “Yea, woe also to them;
when I depart from them” (9:12). And the one who takes His place will always leave everlasting destruction in
his wake, as the rise and fall of nations bear witness. Sin is the path of suicide regardless of the assurances of any
religion or philosophy.
Summation
Alan Keyes,
like most everyone we see in the public forum, from Ron Paul to the many news organizations, treat humanity’s problems
like today’s medicine treats disease: they only address the symptoms never the root cause. Why? “The love of money
is the root of all evil.” I Tim.6:10. For the sake of gain men turn a blind eye and deaf ear to the most obvious
dishonesty: corruptions that have ruled throughout man’s wretched history. This method of government rules the
populous; and in order to survive in this world homage must be paid to its jurisdiction. Essentially, the government
of sinful man is a form of slave labor. But ultimately it is a system of blackmail to coerce the abandonment of conscience
that the Apostle Paul warned to never go against (Rom.2:13-16). Whenever and wherever those who are chosen to lead mislead,
all who follow them share their fate.
We can readily see the selfish fruits of blind
ambition, even in the judicial and corporate “palaces” across the great land of America. They spared no
expense for themselves, with polished marble and granite, exquisite woodwork, lighting, etc. but at whose expense? The
hard workingmen whose sweat and physically exhausting labor produced every structure on this planet: and sometimes to the
loss of their lives. Among them stand the honest taxpayers and the poorer classes who get into trouble by a social system
that is designed to entrap them in sin before a loving GOD (Who is eager to forgive all sin—those who allow Him to).
Even the prisons and insane asylums: their statistic of rehabilitation is pathetic at best. This chosen course of our
fundamentally immoral society guarantees that the needed changes can never come simply because man
has chosen a foundation of sustainable living that forbids any change that threatens the powers that be. Its
just one more "tradition of men" that is leading the world to its prophetic outcome. In essence, the governments
and religions of the world demand that you join in their sins if you wish to survive. This is where Christ’s
words shine a great light in the midst of global darkness: “Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers
of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered
her iniquities.” Rev.18:4,5.
With this thematic principle of man’s betrayal of the dignity of life
(which I know all too well in my own life, having betrayed and having been betrayed), lets see what the Bible says is in the
forecast for America’s future. The prophecy of Amos, chapters 1-2:5 describes the inaugural event that will usher
the union of sinners in America: religious and secular alike. It is the judgment of fire. But not just any fire.
This soon coming event will display GOD’S disdain for the cruel indifference of the wealthy toward the suffering of
their fellow man. GOD will allow Satan to cause fire to fall on “the palaces” of insatiably greedy men,
as was prophesied in Revelation 13:13, just as he did in the days of faithful Job, as it is written: “the fire of God
is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them.” Job 1:16. This supernatural
event will be the springboard for the crescendo of Earth’s closing scenes ushering the 2nd Advent of Jesus
Christ whose timing of deliverance is perfect to the moment the Earth can no longer support life (Rev.16).
The Ten Steps to Christ’s 2nd Advent
and the End of the World
1. America enacts a national
Sunday law in defiance to GOD’S eternal “holy day” “the LORD’S day” “the seventh
day...Sabbath” of the 4th Commandment (Isa.58:13; Rev.1:10; Ex.16:26, 20:8-11; Isa.66:22,23)
2. National ruin swiftly comes as a result of this national rejection of the
Law Christ obeyed to redeem us, whose consequence “maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men”
(Rev.13:13; Deut.28:15-68). These destructive judgments fall on the palatial homes and businesses of the insatiably
greedy men along with other judgments from GOD’S arsenal of nature, which will be carried out against the concentrated
wickedness in the cities (Hos.8:14; Amos 1:1-2:5) fulfilling the prophecy of David: “It is time for thee,
LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.” Ps.119:126
3.
Fearing the extinction of human civilization, society surrenders to the will of today’s religious leaders [fulfilling
Satan's words, "all that a man hath will he give for his life" (Job 2:4)] who then take complete control
over the civil affairs assuring the people of GOD’S protection if they submit to their supremacy
4. GOD’S faithful children warn the world of the dangers of allowing disobedient men to
rule, citing the blessing of eternal life for all who live under GOD’S Holy Law as Jesus said, “If you love me
keep my commandments.” Jn.14:15
5. The Ark of the Covenant, containing
the Ten Commandment Law, written with “the finger of God,” [which was none other than Jesus Christ (Jn.8:58)],
is restored to public exhibition by today’s Israel at the time the Spirit of Christ is speaking through His servants
lips one last appeal to a disobedient church and those under their rule (Isa.57:19; Matt.10:19,20; Rev.18:1-5), warning of
the result from rejecting the Laws of salvation, and their Author (Lu.12:9), which is eternal death (Ob.16).
6. Satan counterfeits the second coming “with all power and signs and
lying wonders” (Matt.24:23-27; Gal.1:8), healing the people (Jn.5:2-4) showing impersonations of holy angels and the
Apostles (I Sam.28:7-14; Gal.1:8) and demanding the world honor his law of Sunday, the world’s oldest pagan tradition
first begun in the days of Nimrod and the tower of Babel (Gen.10:8-10).
7.
Ruling Christianity believes the devil’s grand deception and responds by legislating persecution against those who give
GOD’S final warning (Rev.13:17,18), increasing the confiscation of properties, civil fines and penalties until finally
a time of execution is decreed for the so-called “heretics” (Rev.13:15)
8.
Everyone makes up their mind in their relationship with the Law of the Gospel, the Ten Commandments (Ex.20:20; Rev.22:11),
and man’s probation closes
9. The Seven Last Plagues: GOD’S
vengeance on the world that has united to force His faithful children to sin or die (Rev.16)
10.
Christ comes in the Clouds of Glory “and every eye shall see him” (Rev.1:7), to put an end to the threat, and
harvests the earth of every faithful person throughout the ages (I Th.4:16,17; Rev.3:11), whether they knew His name or not
(Rom.2:13-15), taking them Home to the “new Jerusalem” in heaven, to live there 1000 years (Rev.20),
to answer every question on the history of sin (I Cor.6:2,3); after which they return to the Earth at the time of the Great
Judgment: the time of the 2nd Resurrection, when every unrepentant soul will stand before the GOD Who Lives to
Bless Life not destroy it: the GOD we call Christ (Isa.45:18).
