The World System

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not traitor, he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." - Cicero, 42 B.C.

           Just a few decades ago the term atheism, humanism and communism was nearly a taboo in most democratic countries. Now they have become mainstream and accepted by most and if not some says, “Let it be”. Today to profess that you are an atheist is no longer oppose even by our government and sadly tolerated by church leaders. I have never imagined a time will come that even Satanism was an accepted organization or religion. Our forefather’s reliance on God is now considered outdated, unreasonable, and those that said “there is no God” are considered people with a rational and educated mind.

        A tragic reversal had occurred even within those nations founded by Christian forefathers like America and Europe. The term “In God we Trust” or “God Bless the Queen” printed on their currency are just hieroglyphs of a bygone era.

        What happened? Why would a nation established through Faith in a Creator now harbor individuals who totally denounce an existence of such being?

        The former belief that human were fashioned from the hands of God are now educating its people that we existed by mere random chance. In some universities Bible classes are now removed from its curriculum but instead educate its people to “embrace” all forms of faith or beliefs including Atheism and religious tolerance.

        Nations that are greatly bless with “milk and honey” because of its constitutional axis formed on the sovereign will of The Almighty God are now turning away on that principle and accepts other form of “gods”.  The consequences are now obvious as we hear more of separations, same sex marriages, youth offenders, rape, child molester, and the list goes on and on… since people have do away with their God, they can also forget His moral values and form their own standard.

The Prince of the Air

        Above quote from Cicero speaks of an enemy that should be greatly feared. He is the subtle predator waiting for its unaware prey. He poses as a sensible nice guy but within is a wolf ready to devour. Just who he is? Or what was it?       

        What does Paul meant when he describe the devil as “prince of the of the power of the air” in his letter to Ephesians 2:2

        Air is a substance that surrounds our planet necessary for human to live. Paul simply means that the prevailing thoughts that circulate on the general population of human-kind are controlled by “evil” men and spiritual creatures or principle. That is to say also that the popular world view is not that of God but of Satan. If you think Satan has given up two thousand years ago after Jesus prevail over death, better rethink how much you have misjudge the devil’s eagerness to dethrone God. Satan still holds his position as Prince of the Air via Educational System, Church doctrines, Political views, and Mass-Media promotions.  

        We will try to unravel what are these popular worldviews that the General Public breaths in and out in their daily lives.

        One of the most subtle concepts being injected in the world today is Unity of all Faith. This had been one of the late pope John Paul II main agenda all thru out his ministry.  

        After all who wouldn’t want world peace? Muslim embracing his Jewish brothers seems a perfect picture to watch on YouTube.

REBUILDING THE TOWER OF BABEL

        What is “Religious Tolerance” or its popular name called by churches as “Ecumenical”?

        Basically ecumenism is acceptance of other religious organization AND they believe by joining together there would be WORLD PEACE? But does God teach such concept? What was the real agenda behind The New Religion? Is it from God?

        The answer is a Big NO!!!

        Moses and eventually Joshua were told by God to totally exterminate pagan nations and said “You shall have no other god before me…” when they reach the promise land. HE also emphatically added “Never to inquire” about their god or religious practices lest they fall victim to their sin.

        Let us remember that God destroy those nations and tribes surrounding “the land of milk and honey” because of rampant pagan worships and “NATURE” worship. When people start adapting seemingly “innocent” practices from other religion; over a period of time it will cloud the true message of God’s Word.

        Just to give you an illustration: Worship of trees are long held practice of Nature worshipper or Pagan nations since ancient time, God call it an abomination  but look how they have morphed that into Christmas tree? 

 ¹Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
 ²Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
 ³For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
 ⁴They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
 ⁵They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. -- Jeremiah 10:1-5

       Did you think it was just pure coincidence? This little example is what God is trying to prevent…with acceptance of small or petty practices from paganism, next generation of people after Abraham’s children thought these are ordinances of The One True God. Christians today consider setting up Christmas tree is part of the Nativity scene. In fact, everything about Christmas (even its date) has nothing to do with God or Jesus. Almost all the detail about these traditions is pure human inventions. Actually a mixture of all kind of pagan practices. If the apostle where to live today, they would not recognized the Jesus our generation venerates.

        Feng Shui is a traditional Chinese belief whose connection goes from the credence of “Animism” or worship of all creation both living and non-living. Yet the shocking part is you see millions of Christians inquiring of these principles. It’s not unusual anymore to see an idol of Saints side by side with Buddha or Hindu god’s. Consulting horoscope, bowing to the image of a mother and child, talking to the dead, séances, etc…

        When Elijah appears before the people of Israel and challenges them he said, “If YHWH is God let Him be God, if Baal is god then let him be…” then they set up the test that the god who answer by fire shall be declared the real God. The illustration simply means that there should be no other minor or major gods. Once and for all, let us settle the issue, Elijah seems to challenge. There are two opinions prevailing that time: The worship of YHWH against Baal worship. Of course, we knew how the story ended when Elijah winning the contest and beheaded all Baal’s prophet. The response of Elijah when it comes to sin was like removing malignant tumor. It may be harsh but it was a necessary thing to do. Elijah knew that if at least one of these prophet survive, they will re-spawn and mix their faith into God’s chosen.

        Maybe you are like those Israelites during Elijah’s time, believing in their hearts that God is God but also tolerate Baal worship or even benefit from this religion. Selling idols carved by the hands? Making Christmas tree or lantern? Believing the gods of the elves called Santa Claus? Egg hunting on Easter? Accepting ashes on the foreheads on Wednesday?

        Are these Biblical teachings? I thought so too! I thought there was a woman named Veronica who wiped the face of Jesus on his march to death. From cover to cover of the Holy Scripture not a single person was named Veronica and worse of all; not even a hint of that miraculous scene where the suppose towel bore the face of Jesus.  The 3 kings? Rabbit on Resurrections? The round bread that they partake and called communion or remembering Christ last suffer? Why the first day of the week became Sabbath? Why a Holy Life is reduced to Holy Week?

        So how this teaching did came to be part of Christian ceremonies?

You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.--2 Cor. 11:4

        Now, before we return to our original discussion about “World Peace”. Let us examined how the worldview changes from Reliance on God into human reasoning.   

THE COLLAPSE OF CHURCHES

        Mainstream Church has given us false information about the nature of our world. When science theories were introduced the church did not provide us with clear answers. Instead of agreeing to Copernicus scientific inquiry they hold on to Pagan sources. They harass science and reasoning instead of working with them. Now it backfires when the science was proven right and the church doctrines wrong. The people now obviously will follow those with credible resources and the church lost its appeal as time goes by.

        However, it does not mean that because most popular churches are wrong, it also mean that The Bible was wrong or faith in God is wrong. However, it does not follow also that since the popular religions are incorrect or unreliable, it also means that God or the Bible is wrong or a collection of fables. I think it is unfair to blame the Bible when it has nothing to do with their statement.  The ignorant responses of church leaders were base from the popular belief instead of the Word.

        The authority of the Holy Scriptures is being reduced to folklore because of misconceptions and ignorant responses. People easily believe educated guesses and “theory” or cuddle anything offer under its name without critical analysis. After all, to see is to believe.

        Contrary to popular assumptions that the Bible was inaccurate, and that it was an allegorical symbolism conceptualized by Ancient people to create an object of worship, so that they created a god to give meaning to their existence, the Bible was not given a fair trial.

        Non-Bible believers attack God because they got their sources from “Fake” prophets and teachers, whose only concern was to exalt them-selves or gain personal ambitions.

        Actually, more and more scientific discoveries are surfacing that affirms the correctness of the Bible than to disprove it. In the field of archeology is a good example. I have tackle most of these issues from earlier blogs and perhaps I will address more in the future.

        Now, with the deterioration of church teaching we have to look for other sources…Our fate now lies in the hands of Man. Church has not given satisfactory answers so mankind will have to solve its own problem.

NEW WORLD ORDER

Synonymous with the term New World Order are the terms one world government, global governance, and globalization. All these terms are used interchangeably and at different times to communicate to different audiences. Make no mistake - they all basically mean the same thing.

Surprisingly, even The Vatican endorses this concept. 

The Second Vatican Council (Gaudium et Spes) declared, "It is our clear duty, therefore, to strain every muscle in working for the time when all war can be completely outlawed by international consent. This goal undoubtedly requires the establishment of some universal public authority acknowledged as such by all and endowed with the power to safeguard on the behalf of all, security, regard for justice, and respect for rights. But before this hoped for authority can be set up, the highest existing international centers must devote themselves vigorously to the pursuit of better means for obtaining common security."

Pope Paul VI wrote in the Encyclical titled, POPULORUM PROGRESSIO, in a section called "Toward an Effective World Authority," Such international collaboration among the nations of the world certainly calls for institutions that will promote, coordinate and direct it, until a new juridical order is firmly established and fully ratified. We give willing and wholehearted support to those public organizations that have already joined in promoting the development of nations, and We ardently hope that they will enjoy ever growing authority. As We told the United Nations General Assembly in New York: "Your vocation is to bring not just some peoples but all peoples together as brothers. . . Who can fail to see the need and importance of thus gradually coming to the establishment of a world authority capable of taking effective action on the juridical and political planes?

The prophet Daniel described this New World Order this way.

The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. - Daniel 7:23-25

I have stated the reason why unity of all mankind is bad because the tendency to worship other god is very strong when you mingle and mix them all together.

         Real unity can only happen when Jesus Christ return. He will once and for all, end all assumptions and creative lies of religions and government. 

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. -- Ephesians 6:12
