148 What If?

If you were God - the Master, Creator and Ruler of the universe, and you were looking for a handful of a chosen few from among your creations truly worthy of the privilege to give you a hand at Your ever increasing job, and if you had a treasure to give to them that was so precious, so rare, that really only a few could ever obtain it, where would you hide it?

What would you do in order not to make it too obvious and to avoid having masses of people running after it in pursuit of their own glory and elevation, of even the sheer joy and happiness they knew this prize would bring?

Wouldn't you hide it in the most despicable place, among the most ill-reputed of all people, just to make sure that only those who really meant business were going to find it?

Would you hide it in a mega-church with millions of members and attendees?

Would you hide it in the Vatican?

Would you hide it among the glamor and glitz of the tele-evangelists, or anywhere among organized religion at all?

Or would you seek out a little group of people with no reputation at all, maligned and slandered, persecuted and despised, but obedient to your word, yes even those parts of your words that none of the other big pretenders dared to put into practice because they said that just couldn't be done in their day and age?

Perhaps you would even hand it to some who weren't really looking for it, wouldn't even know what to think of it, and perhaps wouldn't always appreciate it as they should, thus sometimes walking and behaving in a manner a little less than worthy of their unrecognized privilege, just to make sure you wouldn't attract any "fans" who were in it for the loaves and fishes?

What if you knew all about people's hearts, and that they have a tendency to fall for any juicy lie ever since the beginning, and thus you only made your special, priceless privilege available to those who had an undying love for the truth and nothing but the truth?

A love so great, in fact, that they were willing to give up anything and everything else for it - their ambitions, their possessions, their positions, even their "responsibilities" according to what people would expect of them; and they would be as radical to follow your call in spite of all that and let the dead bury their dead in order to obtain that pearl of great price...

If you knew that everybody would be going by outward appearance, would you hide your treasure among the beautiful, or among the ugly?

If you knew that everybody would follow sweet, enticing sounds, would you hide your treasure there, or in a place where words were said that made people shake their heads and reply, "This is a hard saying, who can bear it?"

If you knew that everybody's taste was perverted by the usurper and all they craved was the sweet stuff he heaped on them all day long, would you make the taste of your most precious vintage sweet as well?

If you had a rare privilege to give away, and you wanted to make dead sure you were going to find the right few worthy of it, how obvious would you make it where that privilege was going to be found? How easy would you make it?

Which would be your criteria? What sort of clues would you give them? Where would you be hiding? - Among the pompous, the glamorous and glorious? Or among the downtrodden, despised and looked-down upon?

What sort of skills would they have to develop in order to hear your voice? And what would they have to let go of, in order to acquire them?

What would you do if you had to choose a special few from among billions?

Perhaps God might actually not be doing anything dumber than you would.

What if?

147 Once Upon a Time There Was... Respect

It's pretty much an open secret that the so-called "terrorist attacks" on the World Trade Center buildings in New York on September 11, 2001, were staged for various reasons, ranging from economical to political.

One of the primary points on the agenda of the New World Order architects sitting on the Council on Foreign Relations, is to get rid of cultures that still have well-functioning family structures.

If you don't believe me that the powers behind the scenes have been working on destroying families on a massive scale for decades, read up about it on Henry Makow's websites.

Just as dumb people are much easier to manipulate than smart people (or even better: dumb people who think they're smart because their brains are stuffed with a bunch of invalid information), which is the reason why the Western public school system is such an outrageous mess, and the slime spewed out from the media such increasingly intolerable garbage, broken families are easier to manipulate than intact ones. "Divide and conquer" has been the Devil's slogan from Day One.

So, while we, the "enlightened" and "advanced" Western cultures not only arrogantly look down on other cultures in which the family structure is still intact, but even spend billions on destroying and killing them legally under the pretext that they're all "terrorists" who need our "enlightenment," the rest of the world - those parts where the father of the family is actually still the head of the house, laugh their heads off about us Western wimps who are the living fulfillment of one of the most powerful prophecies in the Old Testament about the Last Days before Christ's return:

"As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths (Isaiah 3:12)".

Respect is something that has practically gotten lost in the Western, me-first culture, where everyone has become little ego-worshipers and anyone else only plays second role at best. “First comes me, then the next-best person promising to cater to my own personal advance and advantage, and then somewhere those folks who are simply necessary to keep me alive, like my parents and stuff… And forget about the rest of the world.”

Selfishness and egotism have really become the ruling mindsets and ideologies of this culture, basically because people have become so alienated from the life, Word and truth of God, that the false “truth” of the Enemy has taken the place of God's law in their lives, ruling and ruining them and the entire culture at the same time.

Nobody wants to be as politically incorrect to speak up against the youth of today. They are the stars of the show, the rulers of this modern, Western culture, to which the real rulers behind the scenes are trying to get the “gap nations” to bend.

They strongly resent those cultures in which the parents, and especially the fathers still have the say in the house, and they’re looking down on them as “backwards” and “underdeveloped,” when the fact is that they simply haven’t veered as far off from the path God had originally ordained for mankind as those who claim to be His people.

It’s only since the 20^th century and the development of the media, along with the public school system, that the Devil has found a way to finally enter just about every single household and subvert the weakest link in the chain, and through them obtain control through the rest of the family.

He undermines the role of the father while at the same time ever boosting the egos of the children, and stirring up a sense of responsibility and loyalty in the mothers toward the child, rather than her husband.

After all, the husband is nothing but the dumb old pervert who wants to have sex all the time…

It's our kids who determine what we, their parents, are going to buy, so they have long been the primary target audience of the mass hypnotists pulling the strings in this 21st century version of "Pinocchio."

It's not as if the kids were to blame, since they're just the victims of the flood of poison unleashed on their brains via the media and the NWO school curriculum. If you tell a kid often enough that he's the invincible master of the universe, he's going to believe it and act like it.

And since authority is "out," it would never occur to any of us parents to actually fight for our God-given position as the head of the family.

You may laugh all you want about Muslims and their "backward" ways, but they're quite right in returning the courtesy and laughing about us, too. They may not have the Bible, but at least they're sticking to what their holy book says, and refuse to let a bunch of greedy rich men fool them out of their fundamental rights.

It's true that a lot of abuse has occurred in macho cultures in which women always get the raw end of the deal. But it's nothing compared to the abuse, the violence and virtual rape of our entire culture and family structure that has come to pass by our so-called enlightened Western thinking.

A few days ago in Germany a man was kicked to death by a group of juvenile "masters of the universe" because he had dared to defend a group of children that was being harassed by them. The people who stood by did nothing.

Ask any Turk, Albanian, Iraqi, Iranian, Pakistani or Arab you know whether they think that any such occurrence would even be thinkable in their country.

And then feel free to keep laughing about their underdeveloped culture and keep watching TV!

"Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty.

The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low

And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the Law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel."

(Isaiah 2:8, 10-12, 19, 3:9, 12, 5:20, 21, 24)

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

These also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men."

(2Timothy 3:1-9)

146 Don't underestimate your enemy! (-- Or How the Saints Lost the War Against Antichrist and Were Overcome)

The first lie we let our enemy tell us was that he didn't even exist.

Then we allowed him to make us believe that we were really smart, while ever so subtly dumbing us down via loads of invalid information. We underestimated the deadliest weapon he ever used against mankind: stupidity.

He hurled at us an irresistible flood of distractions that kept us entertained and busy thinking about anything but the Cause and Purpose for which God had put us here, in fact, he kept us busy most of the time doing anything but think at all...

His representatives posed as the type of people we looked up to: the successful, the strong, the powerful.
We trusted them even when all they did was lie to us.

We underestimated the lengths to which our enemy would go in order to deceive us.
We underestimated his skill at that which he does best: tell lies.

We believed the "evidence" our "scientists" had come up with to prove that we all were mere results of billions of years of "Evolution," to the point that we ridiculed anyone who held on to the original account of Creation, thus strongly limiting the credibility and authority of the tome of instructions the Creator had left us since the days of old, allowing the gap between ourselves and Him to widen with each of those "billions of years."

We truly thought the majority must be right; that so many people could not be wrong about the same thing - ignoring the advice of the One who came to save us and bring us truth, that we should not follow the way the majority chooses.
We listened to our enemies' propaganda and gospel of material gain that not only seemed to justify our selfish life-style and allowing tens of thousands to starve to death each day in the face of our oppulence, but also let them trick us into killing millions of innocents whom they labeled "terrorists," when in the end they really turned out to be our allies in the Holy War for the one true God.

We believed the Enemy and his emissaries when they told us that we did not need a Savior but that we could save ourselves, only to find out that this was the most bitter and poisonous of all their lies yet.

He came in peacably and with flatteries, by his false peace destroying many. From the beginning he had us believe that there was no such thing as a (spiritual) war going on, and that he was going to be friendly, until he turned around, broke the covenant of peace, and fell upon us like a ravenous lion.

We stood idly by, as his ministers of propaganda and priests of the New World Ideology explained to the world that our Savior was only a myth, one among many others, and that the usurper was the true Christ or Messiah that was to come; and because he had brought peace and prosperity when the world was in chaos, many of us believed him.
And, of course, if we, who should have know better, fell prey to their lies, how much more readily did the vast unbelieving majority swallow their delusion. When they were told that it was religious people like us who were to blame for all the crises in the world, and that we were the culprits and terrorists, they readily joined the man-hunt and persecution of unprecedented scale that ensued.

We allowed the Enemy of our souls to fool us; and accordingly, he overcame us. The battle was lost, and the whole war would have been lost, had it not been for Him, Who had been destined to be Victor over all from before the beginning of time, and Who, upon His return, put an end to the schemings of the deceiver with but one breath from His lips.
Not only did He save us from our deserved punishment for giving in to the Deceiver time and time again, but He also saved the world from the destruction that had been in the Enemy's heart to unleash upon the earth from the beginning.

None of us can say, "Our own arm has saved us." Only the grace and mercy of our Creator was great enough to accomplish that. To Him be all glory and praise forever.

145 The Devil's Motto: World Conquest Through Stupidity

A few years ago I bought a second hand edition of "Widerstand und Ergebung," a book Dietrich Bonhoeffer, (a Christian minister during the 3rd Reich in Germany who was part of the Resistance and was sentenced to death by Hilter himself a few weeks before the war ended), consisting of letters he wrote in prison, where he was awaiting his execution.

I soon came upon the statement, "Stupidity is a greater threat to good than evil itself." That struck me as something strange for a Christian to say. After all, aren't we all supposed be nice and politically correct with each other and our fellowman?

But the more I live to see and learn in this world, the more I realize just how right he was.

Obviously, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was referring to the way the majority of the German people unquestioningly obeyed orders and tolerated and collaberated with what became known as some of the grossest atrocities in history.

Unfortunately, due to the often cited fact that we never learn from history, history also has a tendency to keep repeating itself.
Apart from the ever increasing deliberate dumbing down of not only America, but pretty much also the rest of the so-called illuminated world I've addressed repeatedly, I'm just saying: Galileo.

What in the world did the church (as in Christendom) ever learn from that episode of having to apologize centuries later for having been so dumb?

Apparently exactly the same amount that we always learn from such incidents.

Exactly.

Nothing.

It's not that knowledge or wisdom wouldn't be available. In fact, they're both in the list of the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit (gifts as in, available for the asking), which Christendom at large has determined were only for those of God's children who happened to live during the first century. Perhaps St. James was also exclusively addressing first century believers when he wrote that if anyone should lack wisdom, they should ask God for it.

But then, if God is supposed to have stopped talking altogether around that same time, I guess it's easiest to just repeat and believe and "know" whatever we're being told to accept.

If knowledge and wisdom (along with 7 other pretty useful gifts) are weapons that God has equipped us with in our battle against evil, I'm afraid we're losing the war because the vast majority of "Christian soldiers" don't even know that they exist, much less know how to use them. (Coming to think of it, most of them aren't even aware that there's a war going on, much less fighting for the right side).

So, we're just standing by and watch as the Devil, along with his spirit of antichrist (aka "Zeitgeist") conquers the world by telling them that Jesus was nothing but a myth, largely because we fail to arm ourselves with sufficient knowledge that could easily debunk such diabolical claims.
But then, most Christians also believe their preachers' fairy-tales that they're going to be whisked out of this world before any of that evil stuff might ever happen, so why put unnecessary strain on the brain when we still need that thing to enjoy the football game?

The only problem is that the Bible itself predicts that the Antichrist will wage war on the saints (no, not the Jews, since they refused the deal that would have them sanctified), and is already marshaling his forces, so, how is that going to happen if all the saints have gone marchin' in already?

I'm afraid there are just too many things Christians don't want to know. "Ignorance is bliss" is the current motto of the game, "So stick me back in the Matrix and give me my steak to enjoy and let me forget all about this dreadful thing here called reality!"

Unfortunately, that attitude just about drives home perfectly the point of how right on Bonhoeffer was in the above statement.

The history books of a future under God's reign may one day prompt their teachers to ask their students, "What was the most effective weapon Satan used in order to establish his kingdom on earth before the Lord's Return?" And the unanimous, though chilling answer will be chorusing, "Stupidity!!!"

On which side of this war of stupidity against mankind do you stand?
