The Bible teaches respect for authority, not rebellion. There's a big
difference between tired citizens who speak up against tyranny and abuse
verses the young punks today who are anti-government and hate all the
police. I am on the side of government and the police, except when they
abuse their power and oppress the public.
It's important as Christians that we know the difference between exercising our Bill of Rights verses anarchy. By the way, the Bill of Rights merely outlines our God-given rights. Even if there were no Bill of Rights (which is the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution), we have a God-given right to be humanely treated by our fellow mankind. The Law of God supersedes the laws of men. The Bible commands, “Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.” (Leviticus 19:18). The Bill of Rights provides for gun ownership in the 2nd amendment, and prohibits cruel and unusual punishment by the courts in the 8th amendment, and so forth.
The Bible teaches in Romans 13:1-10 that we as Christians ought to obey the government. This does not mean that we should go along to get along with oppression, blatant crimes or evil in government. Not at all. As you see in our text Scripture, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego refused to bow to king Nebuchadnezzar's golden obelisk image. It takes a good man to break a bad man's rules.
Romans 13:3 teaches that government is a terror to evil works, not good works. We'll, the U.S. government is becoming a terror to good works. Christians are being charged with stalking by Homeland Security for protesting at abortion clinics. A California couple was fined $300 for having a home Bible-study in their living room. They were fined for not having a permit, but if they applied they'd never get one because the city only issues permits for zoned areas to have a church. The couple said it was a simple Bible-study, but the law forbids people assembling in your home for a religious service. That's Communism!!! I could give you HUNDREDS of stories like this. America has been taken over by criminals. Most Christians haven't figured it out yet, but you will. YOU WILL!
The founding fathers intended for separation of Church and State, but not separation of God and State. God is supposed to be in government. Without God, government will absolutely fail...
2nd Samuel 23:3, “The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.”
Our first U.S. President who had presided over the Constitutional Convention in his farewell address declared...
“Reason and experience forbid us to expect public morality in the absence of religious principal.” —U.S. President George Washington
Our second U.S. President had this to say...
“We have not government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” —U.S. President John Adams
What a statement! In other words, you cannot legislate morality. If society is so wicked that it cannot control itself, then a police state must rule over them and the U.S. Constitution is worthless. If men will not be governed by God, then they must be ruled over by other men. The law is for lawbreakers. Tyranny is for a stiff-necked and wicked people.
Thomas Jefferson said...
“And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure, when we have removed their only firm basis — a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? And they are not to be violated but with His wrath.” —U.S. President Thomas Jefferson
Instead of serving God with
reverence and godly fear as Hebrews 12:28 commands, most people today
irreverence the Lord and blaspheme His holy name.
Anarchy
Having said that, let me say that trying to restore liberty and justice without a desire to obey God is anarchy. These punks today who want to change the government, while living in wickedness and all manner of depravity, don't help the matter. I am against mocking and making fun of leadership. I am against the joker posters of President Obama. No matter how corrupt our government gets, we ought never begin to desecrate and disrespect the place of authority. God is the One Who sets up and takes down kings and rulers...
Daniel 2:20-21, “Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.”
God is on His throne and ruleth over the kings of the earth. God has given us the leadership that we deserve in America. We deserve the Bill Clintons, George Bushs and Barack Obamas. We get what we deserve for rejecting the Words of the Lord!!!
There are many people today, most of them trying to peddle films and books to make money. They work close with the hordes of fear-mongers trying to scare everybody that the food shelves will soon be empty, and fuel will be unavailable, and their bank will close suddenly. You know, there's some truth to these claims and it's going to eventually happen in part, but we're talking 10-25-years from now. You're not going to see empty food shelves. You will have to shop less selectively because their won't be as many options. Red meat won't always be there. You may have to eat beans and rice more often instead of sirloins steak. Fuel prices will get so high that it won't be affordable to drive distances.
That's what I see coming next. I see limited food supplies, high prices and most of all, increased government regulations on buying and selling policies. Very few people will own homes in the future 50-years from now if the Lord tarries. We're going into the Beast system right? Of course we are. So we're going to start seeing restrictions on what we can or cannot buy. Ultimately, the government will strictly control the farms and they'll be able to control the food market just like they control the economic market. Why do you think their doing all this?
Since the only place that you can secure a home loan these days is from a bank, they have a monopoly going. The banks control the housing market. The Federal Reserve banksters (feds) are one and the same, working together. Thus, they have 100% total control over everything. So they dishonestly raise interest rates and tens-of-millions of Americans with Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM) lose their homes. It's a done deal in America, and as criminal as can be.
Well that's what they want to do with our food. If the only place that we can get food is from Monsanto seed-supplying genetic farms, then the government has 100% total control over supply and demand of food. Think if the incredible power that gives them. Look at North Korea today and don't say it could never happen here. It is happening, but most people can't see that we're being taken over by The Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. I feel like I'm stuck in that sci-fi movie, trying to find out who's infected and who's still normal. It's weird how true that movie is to real life these days.
God has promised to HEAL our land in 2nd
Chronicles 7:13-15, but only if we submit to His commandments, humbling
ourselves in prayer, seeking God's face of blessing, and turning from our
wicked ways. God will not bless any effort to restore liberty while our
nation embraces wickedness. God will make sure that we are defeated. If God
be against us, who can be for us? REPENT AMERICA!!! REPENT!!!
We Need God's Wisdom
This is not to say that we should go along with the evils in government because it is of the Lord. Not at all. God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man (James 1:13). In fact, God wants us to rise up against the evildoers (Psalm 94:16), but we won't as a nation. We can't, because we are just as wicked and weakness cannot overcome weakness. Evil embraces evil. Sin invites more sin. Only a righteous people who repent and turn to God could bring America back from the brink of destruction. But it likely won't happen. People today just aren't listening.
Look at the majority of great sermon videos
online and you might see 300 hits on YouTube, while perverts like Shakira
receive 280,000,000 hits on her stupid song,
WAKA WAKA. The desire for talent and no desire for wisdom
has ruined our culture. The Bible says in Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom is the
principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get
understanding.” When's the last time you heard anyone say how much they
desire and want wisdom? I've never heard anybody, except myself! I want
wisdom and ask God for it all the time (James 1:5). Proverb 18:1,
“Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth
with all wisdom.” In Hebrew that means turn off the TV and do something
constructive, like read a book or research history.
Government Tyranny And Oppression
It is shocking how much the Bill of Rights is being totally violated nationwide today. The 1st amendment is the most popular, granting freedom of: speech, religion, press, public assembly and peaceful petition against the government. The latest trend over the past 15-years is government “no protest zones” banning free speech. They're gutting out the Bill of Rights left and right. Lawyers are increasingly powerless to help citizen's fight against government tyranny, and now under NDAA the government can get away with anything and all the lawyers in the country cannot help an abducted citizen. It's totally reminiscent of the Russian Revolution, where millions of innocent citizens who critiqued the government were sent into slavery to die of exposure in the frigid mines and forests of the Siberian gulag work camps.
Nevertheless we still have a Bill of Rights in America, and you ought to defend it as much as possible before we lose it permanently. Throughout history governments have done to people what they allow the government to do to them. Between 1942-1944 a small handful of German soldiers herded millions of Jews from around Nazi-occupied Europe onto trains to be gassed at Auschwitz. Their bodies were then cremated. The reason why all those people boarded the trains was because they were lied to. They were told that they were be taken to work camps, would have their head shaved to prevent lice, would be stripped naked to take a bath for sanitary reasons, and fed a hot meal, then released to go back home after the war.
In reality, their hair was shaved and sold to make wigs and fabrics. Their personal belongings were stolen and hocked for profit. Their shower turned into a gas-chamber of death, pumped full of Zyklon-B. The ashes from their cremated bodies was sold and used to make tons and tons of soap.
By the way, did you know that the same company that produced the Zyklon-B gas for Hitler also produces the RU-486 abortion pill today? It was the American IBM corporation that manufactured the stamping machines to mark each prison in Hitler's holocaust. In fact, the IG Farben company which supplied Hitler's war machine. It is also interesting to note that the CEO of IBM, Thomas J. Watson, was a member of Bohemian Grove, a position that was shared by his good friend, the fascist totalitarian leader of the Nazi regime, namely Adolf Hitler. You can read more here on Bohemian Grove.
IG Farben was a conglomerated of over 200 companies, many of which were American, such as IBM, Standard Oil and Ford Motors. Wall Street Funded Nazis. Henry Ford kept a picture of Adolf Hitler on the wall in his office. They were good buddies.
Hitler was also personal friends with genocist Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. It was Sanger's genocidal work that largely influenced Hitler's madness to kill everyone he deemed weak and worthless. Sanger vowed to kill the negroes. Yet, NBC television network honored Sanger in the year 2,000 as a great humanitarian. Sanger was a mass-murdering sicko and racist, long-time lover of conspiracist author H.G. Wells. Truth is stranger than fiction.
