A Godless Nation? – Part 3

A Godless Nation? – Part 3

America has lost her religion, her God, and her way. The process did not begin with you and me. We were deceived by the lying words of men within our establishments. Legitimate questions provoked our quest to find truth and harmony. We desired to enjoin the common bonds of human camaraderie within our societies. But as we searched within the Church we discovered that our perception of God was naïve.

At first, the division in religion was minor. We discussed differences over the sinless nature of Mary, the virtue of perpetual virginity, or whether if once saved, we were always saved. Finding no stable ground to anchor our beliefs, the chasm widened. We began to question all that unified and enabled our firm stability.

Common sense was soon lost in the vast sea of relativity. Common sense was silently sacrificed on the altar of desire for the sake of a liberal society. Truth within the 10 Commandments, which unified and allied our grandparents’ nation to withstand our modern misery was dismissed as if there was no irony. Ignored was its ability to empower and revive by using God’s Code of Law to break through this rotten, miserable collective system of ours.

Without common ground avowed, each citizen went his own way, lost in an ocean of complacency. Instead of the written word, we began to substitute individual brands of religion, which had no code or accountability to God. Individuals like you and me trademarked our particular relative group. Looking back we can now see that two generations were all it took for us to forget His Book, leading to our drowning in a rotten sea of immorality. Two generations were all it took for us to forsake the source of our strength and unity. Two generations were all it took for us to be hooked on generalities.

Two generations and we cannot agree on justice for you and me. What is murder? Can we define it? Is killing an unborn baby a human right? What about executing a murderer when overwhelming evidence attests to his guilt? Oh no, that’s not right! It’s immoral, it just can’t be! Two generations were all it took to show mercy where there should be justice and judgment where there should be mercy. We save the wicked but deliver the righteous to hostility

(Ezek 13:19). Two generations into rejecting one nation under God, we struggle to agree on basic ideas of what is right for you and me, like theft and crime.

Private property? Shouldn’t it all belong to the community? Smash—and—grab merchandise is now becoming another new American social norm. Collective society now decides right from wrong. No room for God in this state. No universal civil code of law exists to hold all accountable in this rotten state (Deut 1:16–18). We are too big to fail. Every agenda the compromised media suggests only weakens and feeds our carnal lusts, without any sound policy. We are kept downtrodden, and in misery, while too big to fail exploits the weak, challenging every identity.

Two generations and we cannot agree on definitions of the family. Marriage is open, it has no bounds when defined by lawless, lustful rotten men. We object to common sense morality. Our children are no longer protected from harm as they are groomed for iniquity. A collective society encourages coveting and sees every self-indulgence as a need. Envy, which our grand- parents once considered a deadly sin, is now admired under terminal taglines of “equality.”

Two generations were all it took for the state to steal our born identity. Girls can’t safely compete but must accept obscenities. Do not resist! No rights to privacy anywhere. Too big to fail AI knows it all. Is it God? It is only natural for girls to be ogled, and assaulted without any rights to privacy, and with no policy to protect their natural identity. Right and wrong are no longer decided by God.

Two generations were all it took for “love” to be redefined to include sexual relations between rotten adults and small children. Don’t say “pedophile,” say “ALA.” Compassion for immigration masks the horrors that deny any Sound of Freedom. Two generations are all it’s taking for agendas to normalize bestiality. This latest trend is now gaining steam, without God’s Law to deem its practice leading to more misery.

If you hold to a set of traditional moral values, society considers you callous and judgmental. You are an obstacle to progress. America’s new social norms are constantly exploited to anchor society to radically new agendas. If you are not outraged by the older, traditional way that topic was understood yesterday, you are an obstacle to progress. You are the problem! Their minions will mock, cancel, and silence you into compliance. We are not prospering. We are withering away in our miserable greed. Man has now become his own enemy. And two generations were all it took to fall into a deep sleep despite the sound of reality which loudly proclaims that the Law is not an irony.

To reject the law is to elevate the wicked; to obey the law is to fight them (Prov 28:4)

Conflicts within religion weaken believers as more subversive and harmful social values creep into the faith allowing us to slide down its slippery slope. The ebb and flow these conflicts create lulls us into an uneasy and disquieted state. We see no path to unite our faiths, so we accept a fitful status quo. Our slumber arises from a complacency regarding right and

wrong. Do Believers lack a Code of Law defined outside of humans like you and me? Is this why we have not yet awakened from our silent complacency?

Is America Lost? – Part 2

Is America Lost? – Part 2

We sleep to the sound our silence allows. Huge corporations are criminal enterprises now. Corporations incite division. Non-profits create violent riots. They lower property values, and then “private equity” buys up the city. No rule of law exists to forbid privatization of the city’s police force. They use government to mandate policies that force their products on us—can we decline? My body is not my choice. They pay for tainted, scientific research which benefits their balance sheet. Corporations and governments strategize to reduce evidence of our existence.

They ignore leaders who reserve luxury for their grand estates, while leaving their footprints flying all over global space. They are too big to fail. They are the monopoly. We are in misery while they consider citizens the enemy. Does America have any means to resist it? Or do we bury our minds in aimless work, silently sleeping life away?

Meanwhile, we work for slave wages as large corporations soak up crony profits. We sow, but another reaps (Lev 26:16). Will America become a landless society? We are confined to tiny serf quarters allotted by our new corporate lords. The American dream is rapidly descending into the American nightmare. Only those who play by its complicated rules find it lucrative. The new code has become laws for thee but not for me. Leaders enjoy one set of rights, privileges unbound by any Code of Law, while citizens are captive to the power of the day. Americans live in misery, with no idea how to resist. We silently sleep, dreaming of a better day.

Cities are rife with crime. Leaders who should prosecute it excuse it. Citizens are the prey. We drown our potential, seeking meaningless essentials, pursuing vanity to renew the meaning and quality of a life we once knew. The system is rotten to its core. America remains complacent in a paralyzing status quo as our freedoms slowly, then quickly wither away. We are in misery, as they exploit our penury. We have not discovered the means to resist it. We seek sweet slumber to silently forget it.

Inflation is now our new norm. Economic cycles only amplify America’s ever-changing morals and unstable values. Every year America grows poorer still, reduced to lower and lower standards of living. Tax dollars benefit foreign countries while our people sleep in the streets. Politicians play both sides as long as arms are sold. We must support the war complex since peace isn’t as lucrative. Just print more paper. Dilute citizens’ buying power— they’re not smart enough to know. Bribes and cronyism are America’s new norm. Don’t question me! I’m above the Law. No Code exists to resist the oppression of which they insist. Collective individuals now define right from wrong. Collectivism has become a source of our misery.

Americans work 2–3 jobs just to make ends meet, while all too often neglecting or selecting their basic necessities. Debt is how we survive this endless cycle of slavery that benefits our corporate lords, who enjoy more rights than individuals like you and me. They exploit this rotten system of ours to obtain through league what the individual could never achieve. Americans are beginning to own nothing and we are not happy. They divide us, wanting citi- zens to become enemies, while their distraction allows too big to fail to run the state. We deny the means that could resist it, so we fight for endless sleep.

To reject the law is to elevate the wicked; to obey the Law is to fight them (Prov 28:4)

“What is right for you isn’t right for me,” has led to no rights for anyone. We the People have exchanged the meaningful for the expedient. “I need it now” is America’s new norm. This Machiavellian state fulfills those needs, driving up debt that brings us down to our knees. Groups of collective individuals now decide what is right for you and me. Our ways are not succeeding in this rotten system of ours. Decisions are made by those who pay no price for being wrong as their lobbied subsidies of power do boast. We the people have lost our voice! Our beliefs have no anchor to protect individuals like you and me. You’d better be happy in this New World Order, which can deliver what God never could.

One nation under God? What an absurdity! Americans and citizens around the globe remain powerless as we succumb to this unjust, rotten system. Like criminals, we remain silent in fear that for our words they will censor or indict us. They manipulate us to become our own enemies. That which could deliver us—we subtract it, as we sleep in complacent misery.

We detect incredible evil but remain helpless to dismantle it. We are silent in the face of adversity. Citizens remain silent because we are powerless. We are powerless because we are sleeping. Americans are sleeping because we have forgotten and forsaken common sense. We forget the common sense in our values was defined by God. “There is nothing we can do,” said 7 billion miserable people around the globe, being led to become their own enemies. How long can we go on living in this slumbering trajectory?

Our troubles did not begin with a president. Policy multiplied our agony. A new vision for America was conceived. The vision was laid to obtain the power to deceive. The vision held that America could be great without God as head of a lawful state. Our representatives legislated God out of style while implementing their own self-serving doubt. Theologian, politician, and philosopher have now reduced the Divine to you and me: We are our own gods now.

Shouldn’t humans have a natural capacity to define right from wrong? Human reason now triumphs over God. We are our own masters, free to chose our oppressive, rotten des- tiny. America has not traded up, we’ve traded down. No longer does the Divine distinguish law–abiding from any crime. We‘ve elevated the wicked whose power regulates the choices we make. Casting our sentiment does not decide any candidate when their cohorts count it up in this crony system that has become America’s liberty. They are simply too big to fail. We slumber wishing there was a way to resist this increasingly miserable tyranny.

To reject the law is to elevate the wicked; to obey the Law is to fight them (Prov 28:4)

Social norms are the frenzies of our day, determined by meaningless manipulative media. Every opinion expressed is bought through political philanthropy. They tell us what to think: You’d better get on board or we’ll cancel you from this global link. These lackeys for corporate lords define right and wrong for you and me. You’d better get on board or your show, your voice, or your platform—we’ll retract it. Your social media had better not offend one of our undefined, ambiguous community rules or standards.

Yet natural law still governs all, even if invisibly. Our modernity cannot cancel reality. Among the gods, one is needed to reign supreme, a leader, corporation, or elite to anchor society. Man must create a new norm! And thus prevails the call for a Global State to rule them all. Give up your meaningless sovereignty! A new world order was conceived to manage lusts while exploiting humanity endlessly. With no God to object, we now have Divine power yet. We are God, deciding right from wrong.

We have exchanged the Creator for new lords who exploit our carnal lusts. They rule over us despite our disgust. We reject the firm, preferring the lukewarm. Now they say belief in God was the source of our misery. We don’t need Him to tell us what to do. Truth does not exist, so why resist? We love our sleep. Why unpin our miserable desires, which determine our miserable, sinful destiny?

Why should any God exist? Religion? Who needs it? Why resist if individuals like you and me have redefined evil; it does not exist. The media now reports its link to the patriarchy. Men determine the rules of our collective state, allowing false flags everywhere that man- date our complacency. Our new lords exploit our labor and beliefs, while they enjoy endless incumbency. No borders to keep us safe. No Law to uphold the rights of man. We’ve exchanged God for man. The firm and limited Fear of God has been displaced by the boundless Fear of reckless man and his man-made state while we drown in the status quo of anxiety. We have been deceived!

They incite us to use our misery to divide our country by making God our enemy. They deny the firm, timeless Law that can empower us to resist. How long can we go on like this? As this rotten system fades into a mist, we forget that the past has been erased. Lies are now the truth of our day. We are living in a meaningless abyss. There must be a better strategy to withstand as this misery gets out of hand. What power can wake our silent slumber? What idea can unite us to resist? We the people are fed up!

To reject the law is to elevate the wicked; to obey the Law is to fight them (Prov 28:4)

A Sleeping Giant – Part 1

A Sleeping Giant – Part 1

THE MODERN SUFFERING SERVANT

Why has the Suffering Servant prophecy shaped the beliefs within Christianity and Judaism so differently? Jews see themselves and their history as fulfilling the Servant’s traits, while Christians understand Jesus (Yeshua) to fulfill Isaiah’s Suffering Servant prophecy as the Messiah. Most academic and theological studies remain divided along these lines. Can both Judaism and Christianity be correct at the same time? Do both Jews and Jesus simultaneously fulfill Isaiah’s prophecy? Or does the text exclude one of these entities?

Consigned to different corners of the ring, brothers who should be standing together, have retreated to opposing corners. Modern Christianity tries to shed its shared history with his Jewish brothers. Judaism, accustomed to being attacked by brothers and foreigners on all sides, has often resorted to isolation to protect his own, rejecting any Christian theological dialog.

This stalemate is far from the unity that Isaiah describes for the Suffering Servant at the latter-day restoration: “They will see eye to eye when the then LORD shall bring Zion again” (Isa 52:8).

Modern Judeo-Christians have come to terms and accepted this uncomfortable stalemate as normal. Both sects are sure their interpretation is correct, yet logically speaking, can both be true at the same time? Is Jesus, as the Suffering Servant, simply a specific person who suffered within the broader category of Judah? Since Jesus was a Jew, this question is not as outlandish as it may seem.

While Christianity is united in its belief that Jesus fulfilled the Suffering Servant’s role, other once commonly held beliefs have begun to disintegrate. The common bond of Christian unity over the past 2–3 generations is shattering as beliefs within the Church wander further and further away from God’s original message. Judaism also adheres to many modern ideas that were created late in the nation’s history but are attributed to God. These divisions of belief create chaos. We daily witness this chaos increasing. We’ve become accustomed to a stalemated status quo that ignores injustice, oppression, wickedness,
and is resigned to just “go with the flow” in our religious beliefs.

Isaiah prophesied that the Suffering Servant will sprinkle and heal many nations (Isa 52:15; 53:5). The Servant’s sprinkling resonates so deeply with people that it fulfills the prophetic vision in a cleansing so thorough that it brings about world peace: “Nations will no vision longer lift up weapons against nations, neither shall they learn war anymore” (Mic 4:3; Isa 2:4). This eternal healing of the nations has yet to occur. Almost 2,000 years have passed since the prophesied destruction of the Second Temple. With the modern wars in Ukraine, attacks on Israel, and immigrant and civilian violence, world peace is a far cry from our present reality.

Because these promises have not been fulfilled, people have lost faith, turning against Jesus and against the Jews. Can a fresh investigation reveal a lost path? Can an unbiased investigation awaken the earth to eternal peace and healing? Before we begin to understand the factors that will cause nations to no longer pursue war, we need to identify the issues that have created the chaos we now call reality. These factors are the same reasons why unity evades our understanding of the Suffering Servant. I have done my best to capture the current state of religion in America and around the world. Does the following state of affairs in my next blog post resonate with you?
