We are
living in a time of an increasingly visible and surprising display of
evil. Many, no doubt the majority, are
still shocked and confused by it. Some
in authority think they know what is needed and they react by allowing violent
behavior to run unchecked right in the midst of our cities, destroying property
and meaningful statues and memorials and such, injuring and even in some cases
killing people. Some of these
authorities display what seems to be remarkable spinelessness, even some key
leaders. And still others seek to change
laws evidently in hopes of calming down the storm.
As part of
this evil there are random efforts to remove words and names and brands from
the culture, and again some seek to placate and go along.
And there
continues this real sinister threatening behavior of this evil, challenging the
pictures of “Jesus and his white European mother,” seeking reparations be paid,
seeking to defund and destroy the police, the only really physical force on the
ground in the cities that has forever been able to hold down the true criminal
element among us.
And in all
this those seeking to placate these evil forces find themselves never doing
enough to placate, never being accepted in their actions. And if they can ever admit it, they realize
they don’t understand.
Of course they
don’t. They are going about trying to
respond using rational thought processes of the past, even if they have seemed
spineless and cowardly to most of the country.
Even if it has seemed they have left the mainstream citizens out to dry.
But they don’t
understand. They have thought that what
is going on – at least initially they had thought this – is another step in the
civil rights movement, an effort to address legitimate grievances and to get
things changed. That may have been true
for some legitimate protesters. But
early in the protests a wild and apparently random rage appeared on the part of
some people of both black and white color.
A violent group or groups arose, taking frightening action and proposing
change that in no way lines up or agrees with the wishes or beliefs of most
people in all races. Their behavior is
disturbing. It seems insane. More than seems.
And this
bizarre behavior just continues on.
First the statues to be destroyed were of Confederate military
heroes. Well, regardless of how the
mainstream viewed this, they could at least understand. But then it moved to George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson, and the destruction could not readily be understood. Two of the greatest people to ever
live. And then on to Abraham Lincoln,
the president who freed the slaves, and that made no sense to ordinary
Americans! Obviously this destruction
really didn’t have to do with civil rights issues. Obviously it was not to right racial
wrongs. Obviously something else was
afoot.
Right.
Evil is afoot.
Statues of
Stevie Ray Vaughn, a blues guitarist, and of Francis Scott Key who wrote the
Star Spangled Banner and of Columbus, who brought the Western Hemisphere to the
attention of the known world, were destroyed.
Makes no
sense. No, of course not. This is evil.
There are
demands to rename buildings in the universities and elsewhere, and demands to
remove a famous movie or book from circulation, and demands to change the names
of products famous and loved for decades.
Now the
streets of major cities are getting more and more dangerous. New York City, which had been remarkably safe
for years, is becoming much more dangerous.
Murders are up greatly over last year at the same time. And in Chicago so many are killed and shot
every weekend, including little boys and girls.
That Chicago
thing is particularly revealing, isn’t it?
So many young black people killed.
But those thought to be leading a civil rights type movement could care
less. They spend no time on this. Those people are not their focus. All this it turns out is not a civil rights
movement.
And on we
go. The leader of the nation speaks out
on issue after issue, and sometimes very well as at the Mt Rushmore speech, but
the major newspapers and most of the news networks criticize him unmercifully
and in some cases blatantly lie to the public, way beyond what we have ever
seen.
This all does
not make sense, does it. On top of it
all the nation has been struggling to fight some strange virus that came from
China, following initially the guidance of some medical experts that has been
changed quite a bit over the months. In
fact the original policies to deal with the virus were based on a faulty model
from England that had the virus being fifteen or more times as deadly as it has
been! Individual governors have the
control of their states, and some operate like autocrats while others choose
not to do much of anything and their states have done remarkably well. Much of the action of the governors and
mayors in fact could be argued as not agreeing with the Constitution, such as
having Americans stay home, closing down businesses, forced wearing of
masks. Yes, all these are subjects that
truthfully could be debated. And still
it is obvious the “experts” still don’t know a great deal about what is
happening with the virus.
Perhaps most
amazing about the virus is the fact that the death rate is extremely low. Even though the death totals are a large
number because the US has a large total population, they are nowhere near the
number of deaths every year from heart disease (five times as many as this
virus) or cancer (five times as many as this virus), and even just now are
approaching deaths from each of several other illnesses or other things that
kill many, such as respiratory, stroke, accidents. Americans have never been given the straight
scoop by their own governments on this.
Every night media blurt out almost proudly new case numbers but never mention
that a case is just a positive test result, not a sick person. Many positive case results never get sick,
and of those who do a great number just have a mild illness at home.
Why do I talk
about all this?
Because we are
human beings and we are now under real serious stress and attack. I just saw a doctor at a hospital in northern
California say that the number of suicides these past few months has been far
greater than the number of deaths from the virus. This is all so very hard for everyone. All of this is flat out evil. All those violent physical attacks and
threats discussed above cannot be understood by normal, rationally thinking
people because they are random and not targeted. They are not focused on one objective. If those in authority give in to one of the
demands of these unorthodox and violent groups, they will just move on to
something else. They really are not
interested in the specific objectives.
What are they
interested in?
Destruction. Of the American culture and government and
system. Of the American approach to
life.
That’s
it. Most Americans haven’t quite gotten
to that point yet in understanding what is happening, but they will. Most of the hapless leaders haven’t either,
but they will, when they find their bending over and kneeling accomplished
nothing. And the corporate leaders who
sold out their shareholders and America by funding this violence and adopting
their slogans to their own tee shirts and such will find that out too.
Who would want
such destruction? In the great overall
sense, Satan, the devil. America must be
brought down in power and influence so that it will join in the one world
government that has been being developed for some time and soon will come into
being, the government of the Antichrist, the man of lawlessness.
At the physical,
merely human, world system level, the communists and socialists of the world
want this destruction.
And the
virus? Oh, that set the people up to
living in great uncertainty, to being less secure and strong than they were, to
accepting government orders to do things they normally would not such as giving
up their rights and sheltering in place, not getting together with others to
socialize and to discuss what is happening, not going to work, not having the
activities they always enjoyed. The
virus set the background stage for the random and frightening disruption we
have seen. It was the perfect opening
for all those wanting to destroy America.
Thankfully we
are right at the end of this age in human history. Thankfully very very soon the Lord will come
to collect his believers. And after he
does much greater horrors than we have seen thus far will unfold on the earth.
What do
Americans need now?
Americans need
to know Jesus. Truly know him.
And what is
going to happen now?
Ever more
random disruption and violence and mayhem and confusion. These next few months look exceedingly
difficult. When the Lord comes to
collect his sheep, a wonderful outlook awaits believers. But for the others, the majority on earth,
there is not a good outlook.
As always in
all things keep your eyes on Jesus. As
you can and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, stand up to falsehood, to
evil. Speak God’s truth in all
situations. Use the gifts he has given
you. Tell others about Jesus and the
gospel message. Give them whatever material you may have that may help in God’s
leading them to Jesus.
