A Wake Up Call

Laura Hollis over at Townhall.com has an excellent article today entitled Wake up, America - They're Trying to Destroy Us. Hollis makes the point that what is happening is no accident. It is all being done deliberately to impoverish you, and transfer your wealth to the globalists scavengers, along with your freedom, your liberty, your religion and to turn you into the equivalent of a medieval serf.

Throughout our nation's relatively short history, powerful people -- kings, communist dictators, tribal tyrants, warmongering corporatists -- have always resented America. The reason is simple and biblical: America's success was proof that free people who exercise self-restraint grounded in Judeo-Christian principles of human dignity and ordered society can govern themselves and flourish, unencumbered by totalitarian control.

But we have grown weak, dependent and easily manipulated. In 2008, when Barack Obama was first running for president, I remarked on the similarities between those proclaiming Obama to be a messiah of sorts and the ancient Israelites' demand for a king. In the Old Testament book of Samuel, God explains that it is He the people are rejecting as their true king and tells Samuel to warn the Israelites that an earthly king will take their sons for his wars and their daughters for his pleasure. Their property and everything they produce will be taken by the king for his own use and dispensed to his friends as political patronage. "You yourselves," the Lord warns through Samuel, "will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the Lord will not answer you ... "

In the 14 years since I wrote that column, we have continued to abandon the discipline and self-reliance that made us strong. In so doing, we risk relinquishing to a new generation of egotistical despots the freedoms that our Founding Fathers declared to be God-given.

Just so. Hollis has the ring of truth here. Interestingly, it fits in with the book I am currently reading, A Voice In The Wilderness: Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano on the Church, America, and the World. Vigano describes a "Deep Church" consisting of priests, bishops and cardinals that oppose traditional Catholic teaching and have insinuated themselves into positions of power in the Church to destroy the Church of Christ. But these members of the "Deep Church" work closely with the members of the "Deep State" to accomplish their ends.  Whether you believe in the Devil or not, he believes in you, and these people are working for him.  As Jesus noted, these people received their reward on earth.

I have come to believe that our choices come down to just two: either we work for the Lord, or for the Devil.  Either way, the Lord wins, as how could He not?  The real question is how does it all turn out for you?
