SPIRITUAL "DEEP STATE" - SILENCED

SILENCED BY THE ADVERSARIES

  The spiritual Deep State has many adversaries, Satan being the titular leader. The Sadducees tried to confuse Jesus about life after death, by asking if even brothers, meeting their responsibilities to marry the widow, one after another, whose wife would she be in Heaven. The obligation was for a brother to marry his deceased brother’s wife, not leaving her a widow. The Saduccees were the theological liberal priestly sect in charge of sacrifices. Scripture indicates that their main heresy was denial of the Resurrection.

  At least the sect of the Pharisees believed in the Resurrection of the dead which was the very purpose of Jesus. The Pharisees were respected by the people and were strict adherents to Mosaic Law. The Saduccees were the priestly sect and were the elite Hellenized philosophers (their doctrine was syncretic because they had Hellenized Christianity, whereas the Pharisees remained fully Hebrew in thought).

  In modern terms, the Saduccees were the liberal priests who easily combine the philosophies of the world into Christianity and distort the truth. Theirs was a priesthood for the royalty since they were also the most respected men of the Sanhedrin (Jewish governing body.) They were the left wing of Christianity.

  The Pharisees were strict adherents to the Law of Moses. Any deviation by a Jew would allow the Pharisees to self-righteously attack the Jew. They would represent the far right in the modern Christian echelon. Somewhere in between is true Christianity. Scripture, in multiple places, says to turn “neither to the right nor the left.” The “Way” of Jesus is the narrow path and the Doctrine of God is the “straight gate” for entry into heaven.

  George Bush tried to find that center in politics with what he called “compassionate conservatism.” Long after his term, we find that Bush was more compassionate than conservative, and he was more of “Saduccee” in his Christian doctrine. He became weak inn standing up for righteousness in the 2020 period of tribulation. “Compassion” is not watching the institutions of God be destroyed by adversaries of Jesus of which the modern Deep State certainly is.

  Many conservative Christians have compassion for the oppressed but forget that true compassion is that they be good citizens in the Kingdom of God to never perish. Christians would not tear down what God has ordained and blessed.

  “Left wing” and “right wing” are devices of philosophers and originated during the French Revolution. It described the seating arrangement in the First Republic’s Estates General. The liberal Montagnards (on the mountain) sat on the left in the hall and the Girondists sat on the right on the “plain.” The Montaganards, consisting mainly of the cruel Jacobin philosophers, were the extreme left wing of the republicans, of which all the groups claimed to be. It turns out that the Jacobins were socialists and sought to destroy the republic by executing the monarchists and Girondons, and finally the more moderate Jacobins. That has continued to be how socialism operates. In any republic, they have always been there ensuring that the form of government is pure practical socialism; that is communism.

  Communism is not something different than socialism. It is merely, the government of the socialists, by the socialists, for the socialists, that shall impoverish the earth. Thus, socialism is the doctrine and communism the government, much as freedom is the doctrine of the civilized and republicanism is their form of government. Democracies can be either good or evil; that depends on which form of government they choose. Socialism has proven to be the worst of the worst because it is based on survival of the fittest, wherein the most powerful rule over the more oppressed. Eventually, after the revolution by the masses, autocrats and their bureaucracies become “we the people.” Socialists who steer left are merely Bolshevik socialists, and socialists who steer right are National Socialists.

  Elitists set the standards for “right” and “left.” Because the left is against nationalism, they have made nationalistic socialists the right and global ones the left. It always turns out that socialists have always proved to be nationalists whether they steer right or left. Communists are all colonialists. They all want to expand their empire. Socialism was based on colonialism by desiring to take away the colonies of capitalism and redistributing that property to socialists. The Soviet Socialists, the Third Reich, the Italian Fascists, and the Chinese Communists all did the same thing; they expanded their empires to further socialism. With that, socialism is the worst form of socialism because it takes by force the colonies of the capitalists. That is the main purpose of socialism. Just as was demonstrated by the vinedressers that killed to obtain the vineyard of God’s Son, socialism in all cases always confiscates property. Who gets the property? Never the peasant that grows the crop, but the few who dress, or care, for the vineyard. Socialism, in practice, is the worst form of oppression, and like the Jews in the Third Reich, they gullibly follow the socialist Ponzi schemers to their death. The only socialists that benefit from socialism are the ones who buy into it first. The poor masses buy in to late. Thinking they will benefit, they become more impoverished. That is survival of the fittest and both Satan and Darwin smile at their gullibility!

  Despite slavery and such, God ordained the American Dream and He used Christian capitalism to make America great. No form of human government is perfect. Jesus knew that because in His day, there was slavery. Jesus said nothing about slavery one to another but gave His life that mankind need not be slaves to Satan: “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 18:32). “What is truth?” a very Platonic Pilate asked. Then Pilate answered his own question, “I find in him no fault at all” (John 18:38). Jesus was telling the truth; He was indeed King and came to save mankind from perishing (John 18:37). Jesus’s purpose was to save mankind from Satan and death not from each other. The people were left to battle it out. Will they serve Satan or will they serve God.

One thing is for certain, socialism acknowledges that their dependence is on its government.   Theretofore most of the nations expressed a dependence on whoever their god was. It so happens that the One True God is JHVH and His Son is Jesus Christ. Why is JHVH the True God? Because only He who was invisible in heaven was made manifest to the world. Jesus always was but was revealed at the appropriate time to offer the perfect sacrifice for the sins of decadent men and women. And then those people that want to steal God’s “vineyard” from Him. The socialist “Utopia” is the Garden Paradise that Marxists are attempting to steal from God’s legitimate heir to give to the people. Socialists always attempt to create a better world. Better than whose? Better than God’s. Their desire is to create a heaven on earth, and that is just what God will do when heaven returns to its foundation at Jerusalem.

  Why would Marx diminish God as a mere opiate to placate the people? To cunningly convince them that God has no power to undermine them. It would be difficult to steal from the vigilant, but easy from those who have been deluded by the lie: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet 58).

  Socialists are the self-proclaimed adversaries of God. Lions roar and seek to devour. Just who does that? Throughout history whenever republics were created, socialists were always there to undermine it. European history is riddled with rabid socialists who would never compromise or unify with rational thought. They always end up roaring like a lion. Who is roaring at the present? “Sheep” that are behaving as if they are beasts. The mob consists of three types of people: (1) Wolves wearing black, (2) wolves wearing ordinary clothing, and (3) sheep following the wolves to devour their prey. That is the transparent Antifa communists, the ordinary socialists who claim they are not, and the gullible people that are always there to play follow-the-leader because they don’t know who it is they are following! Lions or wolves; both are beasts out that devour!

  The Saduccees came to silence Jesus, but Jesus, answering their trick question, silenced the Saduccees (Mat 2234). The cunningly devised question was to trick Jesus to select one law over another, hence forcing Him to break one law or the other. Jesus silenced them by essentially telling them that there will be no laws in Heaven. The Law is for the world because therein exists evil deeds. No law is needed in Heaven because only the righteous will be there.

  It would seem that the woman who married seven brothers would have seven husbands, thus violating the adultery commandment. That would not be okay.  Multiplication, and hence sexual coitus, is for the world only. Angels do not and were not created to procreate. The only way for a birthright in heaven is by one of two ways (1) As a generated being or (2) as a regenerated being. Cherubim are there to guard the Way to the Tree of Life in Paradise. There is no backdoor it must be through the straight gate. The Saduccees should have known that. They displayed their ignorance of scripture by playing the serpent, so to speak. They were the Devil’s advocate. The woman in heaven would have seven brothers, and not seven husbands. Jesus answered rightly and the Saduccees marveled as they were silenced.

  Evil-doers always seek ways to silence Christians, and by that to silence God. Socialists, by definition, silence God. Even Utopian socialists deny God.  Their doctrine is to silence God and the Doctrine of God. The Saduccees were silencers but they were the ones silenced. How can the Deep State be silenced? By always speaking the truth. And where can truth be revealed? In Holy Scripture — the very Word of God.

  The Deep State wants the world and it wants God silenced. Those are the two purposes of socialism, but the young do not understand that it a trade of souls for promised prosperity that never comes about. That would be laughable, but even loved ones have been indoctrinated because “free things” from others is just too tempting, as is written by Paul:

⁹ Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. ¹⁰ We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. (Heb 13:9-10)

  Only those who eat the “meat” of the Doctrine of God have the right to eat at God’s altar. God’s “altar” provides spiritual satisfaction. Strange doctrines provide no satisfaction, but yet naïve people pursue the strangest of doctrines provided by those in the spiritual Deep State.

SPIRITUAL "DEEP STATE" - LOVE OF THINGS

THE LOVE OF THINGS

  It is written, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows” (1 Tim 6:10).  That passage has much meaning when deconstructed. A better translation of the Greek is “avarice” (Strong 1890), meaning “extreme greed for material gain” (Merriam-Webster 2003).  Thus, the love of material gain is the source of all wickedness. Those who have coveted what others have, have wondered from the faith… or failed to trust in Jesus for prosperity. That material gain is harmful to the people’s well-being. The effect of greed for whatever belongs to others results in sorrow. In other words, as the colloquialism goes, Money cannot buy happiness. Indeed, no one will ever be content so long as others have more wealth.

  “Wealth” is nothing more than materialism. People desire to fulfill their lives with things! Coveting the wealth that others have is the basis of socialism. This next saying will be repeated until it is understood: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” That is the motto of socialism and corresponds well with Timothy’s warning that coveting the wealth of others is not fulfilling. In fact, it is detrimental to emotional and spiritual life. Why so? Because those who covet what others have are not depending on God but on others for their prosperity.

  The Jews never quite understood what God meant by “prosperity.” They did understand usury quite well, however. “Usury” is “an unconscionable or exorbitant rate or amount of interest” (ibid). Is it not understandable, then, that the founders of socialism were Jewish? The concept of Jewish Marxism is that both German and Russian Marxism was a Jewish device (Traverzo 2018). German philosophers who were Jewish developed practical socialism. Karl Marx was a secular Jew who influenced the Germans, Russians, Chinese, and now the world, to accept violent, godless socialism — the very philosophy through which those deceived by avarice pierce their own sides, as Timothy wrote.

  The preceding chapter was about the vinedressers who desired the Father’s vineyard. Throughout history, land ownership has been a divine right. By primogeniture, the eldest son inherited the land and property, and through his purported generosity, the relatives were to be taken care of. That parable was about extreme greed for material gain. In that situation, the Father was the Lord Proprietor whose vineyard produced capital, and his sons were His heirs. Marx would have considered the Lord’s family bourgeoisie. They were the proprietors and others who made capital off the work of others.

  Petite bourgeoisie (petty bourgeois) were the servants who went to the vinedressers for the Father’s share. They were those minor figures who serve the bourgeois. The vinedressers were the bureaucrats who managed the proletariats — those who provided direct labor. When peasants moved from the farm to the factory, they too became proletariats. Socialism is based on class distinction, class jealousy, and class warfare. The vinedressers loathed the Father and got to Him through the murder of the servants and finally the Son. They persecuted and murdered the Capitalist, His Son, and their servants who were faithful. Socialism, although they claim they are for the common good, are after what is good for themselves. Generally, proletariats are not socialists, but merely greedy people who covet the wealth that belongs to others. They are as deceived by the dark forces of Marx as the vinedressers were deceived by Satan.

  When God promised land to Abraham as a reward for his faithfulness, Abraham got it! The Hebrew people did not. Abraham understood prosperity to mean eternal life in Paradise. He understood that New Jerusalem would someday return to its foundation in Jerusalem. He understood that the Kingdom of David was the Garden of Eden. [1] Abraham looked to the Husbandman for prosperity, and socialists look to the vinedressers. They are the party bureaucrats and public servants (not God’s servants) who use the capital and land of God for their own purposes. We find it to be for greed and not for charity!

  Socialism is the philosophy of so many Jews because it is usury. They were forbidden to charge interest to other Jews, but gullible Gentiles were excepted. Hence, Jewish Marxism thrives off usury of the peasants. In early Marxist days, it was Jewish leaders who profited and once Gentiles learned their ways, it was an easy transition.

  Judas Iscariot was a socialist-type. The love of thirty pieces of silver for the love of wealth caused him to turn on the Son. Just as Timothy wrote, Judas was pierced with many sorrows (Mat 27:3). Why did the vinedressers want wealth? For prestige, and certainly not “needs?” People still confuse needs and wants. Modern socialism is not even true Marxism; but From each according to his wealth, to each according to his wants or desires, as written before. Within that statement, there is much missing. In the case of the Husbandman in the parable, the Father was generous already. He provided work for the vinedressers. They wanted more than their fair share. They wanted the Son’s share as well. That was greed for the gain of others. How would they obtain the gain? Would they ask the Father for more? No, they resulted to stoning the servants and plotted to kill the Son.

  Is that not what the rioters are doing this moment? Do they depend on violence and not God? The mob always castigates the faithful and seek to murder those who have things. Silly, foolish hooligans tried to steal from the Lord what was His, and they still do that today. Mob violence is not of God, and the foolish protestors are much like the Russian peasants who thought the communists were on their side. What happened to the Russian peasants? Holodomor… the Russian version of the holocaust.

  Attempting to trip-up Jesus, the Jews asked Him if they should pay taxes, or pay tribute to Caesar. The spiritual “Deep State,” the chief priests and scribes, “Watched Him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of His words, that so they might deliver Him unto the power and authority of the governor” (Luke 20:20). During the Russian Hoax, the intent of the Deep State was for the President to be questioned under oath. For what purpose? That he trip-up on his own words. Mr. Trump must have known that tactic and Jesus did too… and was prepared. “He said unto them, ‘Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's’” (Luke 20:25).

  In effect, Jesus was saying to pay tribute to Caesar for taxation, but to God for prosperity. Caesar was proclaimed another “god” in the Roman pantheon. He was, however, not God. They paid one coin, one that was provided by God. People must remember that God is the Creator and source of all material things. He paid tribute to those who would even kill him because the centurions who nailed and pierced him were paid assassins. And what is more, like the mob, they did not even know what they were doing, according to Jesus. The Roman Empire was much like communism just as Russian socialism is much like Russian tsarism. Stalin was just another brutal “Peter the Great,” the only difference being that Peter was his “god” and Stalin was his. [2]

  The taxes for Caesar was for Caesar’s prosperity. What God wanted for Himself was nothing more than trust and of course love. Those two things belong to God, and socialism espouses neither. At best, socialism claims secular humanism as their theology. When they say, for the “common good” that is to deceive those who have greed for wealth. No mention of the planters and cultivators were mentioned in the parable; only those who would process the finished produce. They were not worried about the proles, only themselves. That is socialism!

  Christianity is based on love. Those who love Christ are to be charitable. Indeed, early Christians set up a charitable organization to support the Jews in Jerusalem, elderly widows, and orphans. It was not by taxation. That belonged to Caesar. Christianity provides to those with needs. Notice that the servants did not offer charity to the mob. The servants knew that they could work for the vinedressers had demonstrated the product of their sweat. What the vinedressers had were wants, and not for the wants of the actual workers, but for themselves who desired to be like God. That is how the socialist bureaucrats operate as well. In the end, although Jesus was pierce by such people (the mob), it was them who were ultimately pierced with sorrow. Jesus will tell them someday, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” (Mat 723). Jesus will never know socialists because they only trust “Caesar” and not God for prosperity.

[1] The author has written much on the biblical evidence that the Garden of Eden was not in Iraq but was the Kingdom of David. Without regard to modern geography, for it has changed significantly with continental drift, all the evidence from the Bible points to the Holy Land. The author believes that Paradise coincides with the Holy Land presently, and at the end, Paradise will be on Earth, and at that time, the meek shall inherit the earth. Thus, it is not the belligerent that are heirs to the “Vineyard” but the meek.

[2] In my book, A Day on the Democrat Plantation, I compare the similarities between socialism in practice and brutal autocracies. In the end, there is little difference. The “farmers” are just replaced by the “pigs” as George Orwell wrote in Animal Farm.

SPIRITUAL "DEEP STATE" - PLOT TO KILL

PLOT TO KILL THE VINE

  Jesus is metaphorically, the “vine” as can be seen from scripture, “I am the true Vine, and my Father is the Husbandman… ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him” (John 15:1,5). The “vine” in scripture would be the trunk of the tree from which the branches emanate. That has much continuity with Adam’s role in the Garden of Eden; to wit: “to dress and keep the Garden (Gen 2:15). The translation from the Hebrew could as well have been “to serve and preserve” the trees of the Garden. But God did that already in that there was no hard work in Paradise. Hard work came after sin in the wilderness outside the Garden.

  In the Garden, just as in the world with the vine, the Father is the “Husbandman,” that being the One who tends the vine and all the branches and deserves the harvest of the fruit. Adam was a type of “vine dresser.” As the Husbandman, the Father was responsible for the land, the planting of the seed, fertilization of the land under the right conditions, protecting the vines from harmful elements, and such; but the vinedressers were responsible for dressing and keeping the vines. The yield of the vine was to be shared. The Husbandman was to have his portion, but the fruit shared with the vinedressers. That system was established in the Garden of Eden, and during Jesus’s ministry he alluded to mankind’s responsibility from the beginning. As the keeper of the vineyard, the vinedressers were to give the Husbandman His share, and in His absence, His legitimate heir.

  In the case of the “parable of the wicked vinedressers” (Mark 12 and Luke 20), the Husbandman sent His servants to the vinedressers to get His share. The servants were stoned, beaten, and turned away empty handed by the wicked vinedressers. In the end, the Husbandman found it necessary to send His Son to come for what was rightfully His. The parable has much meaning. Of course, the “Husbandman” is the Father, the “Vine” the Son, the branches” the servants, and the vinedressers those who would persecute Jesus to rob from the Father what is His.

  Back in the Garden of Eden, Adam’s assignment was to be a good “vinedresser.” He was to tend to the trees in the Garden that God had planted and nourished. Those trees were as blind Bartimaeus said, “as trees walking” (Mark 8:24). The Garden was real but also metaphorically it was a Garden of souls represented as “trees.” The Husbandman in the Garden was the Father in all three aspects: (1) the Branch was the visible, Jesus, (2) the Root the Father, and (3) the Living Waters which nourished the Tree of Life was the Holy Spirit. The Tree of Life represented the Holy Trinity, its branches the Servants (Church) and the twelve fruits thereon, the fruits of the Spirit. That is much the same as the “vine” in the parable.

  What was the vinedressers planning to do with the Heir to the Husbandman?

¹³ Then said the lord of the vineyard, “What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.” ¹⁴ But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, “This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.” ¹⁵ So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? ¹⁶ He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, “God forbid.” ¹⁷ And he beheld them, and said, “What is this then that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?’” (Luke 20:13-17)

  In the Luke version, the servants are like the “husbandmen” as well; they were in His image — not quite the Lord of the Manor but was to do as He would do. Adam, back in the Garden, in the image of God, would “husband” the “trees” as God would Himself. He would serve and preserve the “crop” which God had planted. The produce in the Garden was more than trees, but a crop of “souls” awaiting the planting season. God planted, planned for them, and gave them a future before the foundation of the world (Ephes 1:4). Adamkind were to be the husbandmen who would care for the vine until the Son came for the “crop” or better said, when their time had come for glorification.

Things changed in the world. After sin, the crop of souls was much more difficult to grow because there was a disease (sin) and tribulations outside Paradise. The vinedressers would work by the sweat of their faces (Gen 3:19), and many found it easier not to tend the “vineyard” at all, or expect others to do the serving and preserving on their behalf.

  There was another tree in the Garden. It is written that it is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It was much more than knowledge, but what to do with the new knowledge of evil in that “good” was already known. When the “fruit” of that tree was eaten, Adam and Eve developed “reason.” They were instilled with the ability to rationalize their actions, and afterward they considered good and evil, and their new nature was to sin with evil deeds.

  Back to the vineyard. The vinedressers “reasoned” what to do with the Son of the Husbandman. So what did they do? “This is the Heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.” So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed Him.” Obviously, the Husbandman represents God and the Heir, His Son, Jesus. Remember that they were to serve and preserve the vine and the vineyard, but the vinedessers endeavored to destroy the “Tree of Life,” Jesus. They did that. They cut down the “Tree,” but the Root remained along with the Living Water, representing the Father and the Holy Ghost of Jesus.

  Where did the Tree go? Back to Paradise where it is still nourished by the Husbandman and provided with much “Water” as was seen by John the Revelator:

¹ And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. ² In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the Tree of Life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. ³ And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him. ⁴ And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. (Rev 22:1-4) 

  The vineyard remains in God’s Garden Paradise. The Garden is still there, perhaps at the Garden of Gethsemane, but in a different realm that is hidden by a great gulf or a sea of glass that only those with “peculiar” eyes can see through. John saw God on His throne through a sea of glass (Rev 15:2) and the Tree of Life alongside Him. The Tree of Life had a “Face” and the Face of God, we know from the story of Moses is “Jesus” the Messiah. And when they see God’s Face on that Tree. There will be good servants dressing and keeping the Tree of Life by serving and preserving His Name, and the reward for the good servants is the Name, “Jesus” in their foreheads. It shall be a return to Paradise, and the vineyard, despite the wicked vinedressers, still flourishes to this day and forever!

  The vinedressers in the parable were scheming. They feared that the Father might destroy them — the wicked husbandmen whose job it was to tend the garden — and give the manor (vineyard) to others. In this situation, the wicked vinedressers sought to diminish God’s “crop” by killing His Son. They were controlled by evil. In other words, they were working iniquity on behalf of the Serpent who was still alive in the vineyard. Jesus had not killed the Serpent in his tree, and he was still crawling in the vineyard of the world. Unbeknownst to the wicked vinedressers, the Tree of Life would plan His own death, not that God would die, but to kill the power of the Serpent. They plotted against the Son, but who ended up dead in the vineyard? Judas Iscariot with Satan in him hanging from the Judas Tree (which seems to be the Wisdom Tree that was in the Garden).

  Ironically, the wicked vinedressers who were charged with dressing and keeping the Garden, endeavored to kill the Tree of Life, on His “Tree” (the Cross), but instead killed the power of the Satan within the Serpent. God was not killed on the Cross, the power of the Prince of the Power of the Air was sucked out of him. The virtue of Jesus sucked the evil Satan from Judas, and he again wonders to and fro until he finds another beast to inhabit; and it will be the Antichrist.

  The wicked vinedressers plotted cunningly. Since the spiritual disease of sin entered the world, the spiritual “Deep State” always uses the same tactics. First, they stone or kill the good servants, or the Christians, to get at the Father, and when that fails, they want to chop down the Tree of Life to destroy the Vine. The wicked vinedressers were not after the good servants, or even the Son, but they were after what belongs to the Husbandman (the Father). They did crucify the Son to get to the Father, but after the Son suffered death, the Tree of Life is alive and well and One with the Father in the heavenly Paradise. Whatever wicked people do is to diminish God because they know that He cannot be killed, but can be diminished by robbing Him of His land.

  The wicked vinedressers were not after the good servants per se but feared that what was God’s would be willed to them, as is written, “This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.” That is why they killed the good servants and was after Jesus; to get at God for what was His. What is Lucifer after? “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God” (Isa 14:13). Lucifer, already prince of the earth, desires to be King of Heaven. He cannot kill God, but he wants His Vineyard! Note that the wicked ones were willing to kill good servants and the Son to get at God. They can never get God nor His “vineyard” but can create chaos with the “trees” in Paradise!

  There is a quote by Donald Trump. “When the people are united, America is totally unstoppable.” If the wicked vinedressers had served and preserved the metaphorical vines of the vineyard, the Jews would have been unstoppable. The wicked vinedressers alluded to the Jews who would shortchange God. The “servants” were the Gentiles who would serve and preserve the vineyard belonging to God. God is unstoppable, but the people are. If the people, even today, unite under God, then the American “vineyard” will be preserved for God by good servants.

  A Trump tweet goes, “They are not after me, they are after you and they get to you through me” (paraphrased). “They” are the “Deep State.” That is true, the Deep State is after good servants of America and Trump is in the way as the protector of the US Constitution. Albeit patriotic Christian Americans are the “good servants” in accordance with the parable, they are merely collateral damage to get what belongs to God. The Deep State is not after Americans or even Christians but seek to kill God. That has always been the motive of the spiritual Deep State from the beginning, through the French Revolution, Marx’s socialist doctrine, Bolshevism, Nazism, and the current Deep State in America. Nietsche’s “God is dead” emphasis is the epitome of the Deep State. Socialism is not after the property that belongs to individuals or the capital of the people, but the property and Existence of God. They cannot kill God, so they diminish Him by diminishing God’s people.

  In the Garden, there was unity and organization until the Serpent did his thing. Then the world turned into chaos, each doing what is right in their own eyes:

 ⁸ “Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes. ⁹ For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the Lord your God giveth you” (Deut 128-9)

  What did the wicked vinedressers do in the parable. They did what was right in their own eyes. They became the lynch mob — the KKK and Antifa of apostolic times. They judged the innocent guilty and murdered them. They became a mob with there own version of justice. They did not “dress and keep” the vineyard garden on behalf of the Husbandman (the Father), but for their own selfish inheritance. If they had been fair in their justice, not doing what was right in their own eyes, according to their own reasoning, they would have received rest and an inheritance that God would have given them as Isaiah foresaw.

  That should provide some insight. The socialist “Deep State” cannot kill God but calling Him nothing more than an “opiate for the people” (Communist Manifesto); that is their endeavor to diminish God. How can God be diminished? The number one tenet of socialism is to confiscate the “vineyard” (property) from the people to which God has willed it and give it to the wicked socialist vinedressers to destroy. Socialism in practice always results in the vineyard (the property) withering just as the fig tree that Jesus cursed. Socialism has been a curse against God ever since the Serpent dreamed up that scheme to undermine God and preserve it to modern times. However, it is God that socialism desires dead, the “stupid American voters, “ as Jonathan Gruber and Nancy Pelosi calls voters, are merely collateral damage and Jesus’s Name for them to use in vain so as to be perceived as loving and caring.

  Do you really think that black lives matter, or any lives for that matter? With the holocaust of abortion wherein unborn black lives do not matter, do you really think black lives really matter? If you are black, then you are merely “branches” in the socialist “vineyard” that will be thrown in the fire after they are harvested for their votes.

  Do you think that any lives matter to the Democrat-socialists? They will say anything for power, but will they be good vinedressers or wicked ones. The big city “vineyards” are falling apart, and who is the “husbandmen?” The wicked vinedressers of the Democrat Party. At least the wicked vinedressers used reasoning for their gain, but naïve voters still rely on wicked socialists to provide a bountiful crop, but the harvest is not the good wine, but nothing more than dried out raisins. How gullible can people be?

SPIRTUAL "DEEP STATE" - SOCIAL JUSTICE

TRICKERY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

  The Deep State, spiritual or civil (sic) always works in the shadows, hence the “Deep State.” It is the shadow government always behind the scenes endeavoring to undermine the legitimate authorized government. Those in the shadows always demand for the legitimate government to be transparent while they remain opaque and illusive. Generally, the Deep State has an unidentified covert leader and a loose organization that is difficult to identify. They place their people within legitimate groups to conceal their identities. A great example of that is when the mob hides within the protests of the peaceful. Numbers conceal their identity. There is power in numbers because the crowd hides the few who will do damage.

  The spiritual Deep State followed Jesus around continually, trying to undermine the truth and the Man Himself. The scribes, Pharisees, and Sadducees knew biblical prophecy very well because they were studied people just as Lucifer knew Jesus quite well since they were compatriots in the beginning. The Serpent with Satan in him knew “good” very well, but he authored confusion. He is notorious as the “father of lies” (John 8:44) and those who are deceived by him are his “children.” Lucifer’s first notoriety was deceiving a third of his angels (Rev 12:4). Satan’s angels are portrayed as “stars.”

  The spiritual Deep State was formed when Lucifer decided that he desired to be King. He set up an organization that would be secluded wherever there was a great event or a crisis.  God allowed Lucifer to create crises and to think they are for His benefit, but obstensibly, the crises were for God’s purposes. For instance, the greatest crisis was the flood of Noah’s time. Satan seemed to cause the flood because he persuaded the people to ignore God and to actually defy Him.

  From sacred literature, it is revealed that Cain’s line — daughters of men — influenced Seth’s line — sons of God — to influence righteous people. That confirms Holy Scripture (Gen 6:1-2). When the two peoples intermarried, the spiritual Deep State was expanded. The evil seed of Cain was planted in the righteous seed of Seth and all the people, except for eight, became “useful tools” for Satan. The Deep State of dark angels, as some theologians say, married into the people of Light, and darkened the Light. Of course, “Light” is the truth of God. Somehow Cain’s line influenced Seth’s to diminish God and His authority. If Cain’s line was both his seed and dark angels, then it must be that demons (dark angels) had already “married” into Cain’s descendants in a spiritual type of marriage (incubi and succubi). It seems that Cain’s line became the flesh of dark angels and unaware, Seth’s line engaged in sexual intercourse with those infused with demonic spirits.

  Most Christians believe in angels. They even claim to have seen them. However, even few modern-day Christians believe in demons. “Demons” are merely angels who intend to diminish God. It is likely that loving the “grandmother” who comforts those who grieve are nothing more than a demon posing as grandma. Those angels that humans see so often in human form are demons. True angels expose themselves. They look like living human beings, not the dead (Heb 13:2). “Grandma” appears as a phantasm, but angels of God in the form of real physical beings.

  Summarizing, Lucifer is always the Adversary of God. Lucifer is his name, and Satan his purpose. His government is as “prince of the power of the air.” In antiquity “prince” was often used for “kings” for princes would be kings if they were first in line with primogeniture. Lucifer seemed to be the legitimate heir to God because he was created first. Holy Scripture departs from the human custom of primogeniture. The first-born sons are generally the most wicked as they feel entitled to be heir to their father. Examples of that are Ishmael, Esau, and Reuben. By the law of primogeniture, all of those — sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, respectively — should have been heirs to the land of Canaan. None were. The spiritual and legitimate heirs were subsequent sons — Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.

  Why would Lucifer be jealous? Because he thought that he was legitimate heir to the kingdom of God, and when he realized that would not be, he rebelled. Since then, Lucifer has sought to undermine God and so did the seed of Ishmael, Esau, and Reuben. Ishmael’s seed are the Muhammadans, Esau’s the notorious Edomites, and Reuben’s lost to posterity because he defiled his father’s bed (Gen 49:4). For his incest, Jacob gave Reuben’s birthright to Joseph who received a double share of the inheritance (1 Chron 5:1). In the end, God usurped that as well; Judah got the lion’s share of the Kingdom of God and Judah exists today in the hearts of Jewish (Judah’s seed) people.

  Lucifer is still trying to be King. Every serious crises or special occasion wherein people do evil in a sublime fashion, Lucifer is there. Right now, it is easy to see the children of Satan with their demons in the form of Antifa. In Hitler’s time, they were easily spotted in their brown shirts, and in socialist France by their breeches. The army of the Jacobins (demon possessed philosophers) identified themselves by sans culottes. They were the vicious low-class republican armies that terrorized those wearing culottes during the socialist French Revolution. [1] The children of Lucifer are always there in some type of uniform, but the real demons are more devious; they wear clothing much like everyone else.

  The worst of the demonic are the elite, the philosophers, the educators, the entertainers, the bureaucracy, the loyal opposition, and the worst of them all; the priests of Satan who display their wares in what should be God’s temples. They are the preachers of the false gospel of “social justice” and their method is “liberation theology.” The latter is the combination of social justice (Marxism) with Christian theology. As the Jews before learned their lesson, liberation theologians are syncretic, combining a false God with the tenets of the True God. With liberation theology, Marx is the false God and Jesus just a phantasm for their devious plan to overthrow the Kingdom of God. Scripture refers to liberation theologists as “false prophets” who come in God’s Name but are not His. 

¹ … There shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. ² And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. ³ And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. (2 Pet 2:1-3)

  False prophets minister false churches and they look godly and good, often preaching charity for their fellow man, but their methods of charity (sic) is through socialism. Many mainstream Christian denominations, and especially the United Church of Christ, the Unitarian-Universalist, and the Roman Catholic Church are more into social justice than glorification of God. Social justice glorifies the giver, whereas true worship glorifies God.

  In Scripture, a woman was glorifying God by anointing his feet with costly ointment. The disciples saw what they perceived as waste and were indignant saying, “To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor” (Mat 26:8-9). Social justice would have been selling the costly ointment, ignoring Jesus, and redistribution of that wealth to the poor masses, as most of the Jews were poor. Jesus reproved them with, “Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always” (Mat 26:10-11).

  The woman, surely humble as she is not named, was glorifying Jesus. That is the purpose of the Church. The disciples thought that social justice was the cause of the Church. In fact, so much, that they thought Jesus would be King of Judea, and would liberate the Jews from the oppression of the Roman Government. The masses of the people were into liberating the Jews from the oppressive government, and not to liberate mankind from the wiles of the Devil.

  Jesus continued, according to Mark, with the truth, “For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always” (Mark 14:7). Jesus recognized that the people would always have their poor, and if they chose to, they could do them good. He did not say to the disciples, You determine the good to do and who does the good. Jesus never demanded that taxes be raised for charity (sic), but it was for them to do themselves. Social justice is wrong in that it requires others to do good for those who want to do good. Taxation of others is not the Christian doing good. Jesus was telling them it was for them to be charitable, not tithes from the treasury. A characteristic of social justice and socialism is that they always demand that others share in or do the good. Most look for the wealthy to do good (sic) on their behalf. Jesus would say, So you want to do good, then YOU go do the good.

  When people demand that others do good for their causes, that is liberation theology. Like the disciples in the story above who demanded how God’s money be spent, socialists demand how Christian’s money be spent, and even that they cease and desist from being Christians. Like the disciples who left Jesus out of the equation, socialism does the same. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” From whom? Those who earn. To whom? Those who someone perceives has needs. Where does Jesus come into the picture? Scripture defines the “needy” as those who are oppressed by Satan. Socialism plays “Jesus” by some invisible powerful person, perhaps George Soros, writing the New Age scripture.

  Note that Jesus IS God. Poverty is because of sin:

¹⁷ And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; ¹⁸ Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; ¹⁹ In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (Gen 3:17-19)

  Jesus didn’t come to set men free from poverty and end the curse by bringing economic prosperity, but spiritual prosperity in the form of hope for salvation, not hope from destitution and oppression. Remember the young man who did not follow Jesus and explained to Jesus all the good things he had done in his life. All of them were things he did for people. He made not one mention of him glorifying God (Mat 1618-20). That is social justice and is not Christianity, but secular humanism. Anointing the King’s feet as the woman did is Christianity. After glorifying God, then provide charity to others. Taxation for your “charity” is not charity.

  The rich young man bragged in public about his social justice. He displayed his “trophies” to Jesus. Liberal “trophies” are humanitarian things that self-righteous people do for show. For instance, one well-known charity gives out plaques for those who give. Many give generously, but when some fail to business managers put pressure on everyone to give. That is not charity by the latter but socialism. Giving plaques for charitable giving is much like one participating in the race but running just because they get a trophy. In effect, they pay for their trophy and seek recognition for their “generosity.” Some parade around their social justice for all to see just how loving and generous they are. Some even allow people that they consider “lesser” become their trophies. Truly generous people are generous not for notoriety but for love. They are seldom in the forefront.

  Jesus, noting the woman’s loving-kindness, remarked, “Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her” (Mark 14:9). He did not name the woman. Her kindness is remembered, but the woman is not. With that, Jesus was exalted but the woman was not. The gospel of social justice exalts the giver and diminishes either God or the one accused of not giving. The appropriate way of giving is to conceal a person’s identity. Those who magnify God do not need a trophy or a photo opportunity. They do not need to display their generosity and kindness to exalt themselves.

  On a personal note, I never make a show of befriending a person of color or a handicapped man or woman. I am as friendly to them in private as in public. They will never be my “trophies.” I do reprove wrong-doing in public or private without regard to race or disability. Love is tough. Scripture teaches correction and reproof without being a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). Socialism teaches respect based on class distinction. Those with ability are the more humane, in their theology. Those with needs are the more deserving. In practice, socialism hates those who have, and uses the have nots to retain their narcissism. The needy are their “trophies” to show off their generosity. Poor and oppressed people become nothing more than trophies that liberals want to show off to exalt themselves.

SPIRITUAL "DEEP STATE" - THE BIGGEST BIG LIE

THE BIGGEST BIG LIE

  In the beginning there was one command from God regarding obedience. Sure, the pair were commanded to become one in marriage, to multiply, and for Adam to dress and keep the Garden, but there was one basic “thou shalt not.”

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (Gen 2:17)

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life. (Gen 3:17)

  The first occasion is the command to “not eat” of the forbidden tree, and the second occasion is the curse for eating of the forbidden tree. In between those two occasions, Adam and Eve both died as the Holy Spirit was exhumed from them. They were without protection, as the Preserver, the Holy Spirit, was removed. As such the two were vulnerable to the elements of the world, and rather a Utopia, the world outside Paradise would be tribulation. The first “Big Lie” was that rebellion to civil authority has no consequences. God didn’t say “Love Me” outright, He said “obey My civil command.”

  To withstand the world, God discarded their self-made coverlets and provided a coat from a living being that He had made. God covered their flesh with His flesh, so to speak. That would have to do until the time came for eternal protection.

  Sin began with that disobedience. In fact, disobedience is sin, and ultimately as the Serpent said in truth, they would be gods (‘elohiym). Not “as gods” or “as God” but they would be their own gods. “And you shall be” is not in the original scripture. The sin was that Adam and Eve would be gods. Thus, sin is the attitude “to be” and that is the origin of the word, “sin” from the Danish. Sin is “to be” gods.

  God’s do their Will. Hence, mankind does their will rather than God’s Will. They do what they want to do, because in their eyes, they are the gods. Again, not as God but themselves the gods.

God’s (little “g”) are gods because they create, nourish, protect, judge, reward, and punish. Rather than be pleased with God’s nourishment, Adam and Eve sought nourishment elsewhere. They turned from God and to the Serpent.

  The fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was for God alone. Note that the Serpent did not hand them the fruit or even shake the tree. Eve stole God’s fruit and shared it with Adam who partook of stolen fruit. They not only gained the knowledge of evil, but it was by experience. The experienced sin, and once sin is experienced there are four possibilities: sorrow with regret, sorrow but with no regrets, exhilaration with regret, or exhilaration with no regrets. It seems that Adam and Eve had sorrow along with regrets, and for that reason, God had grace on the two. However, the nature of man is to be exhilarated with no regrets, but the usual for Christians is exhilaration with regrets. So long as there is guilt, God will take care of the sin.

  What are commandments for? To identify what is important to authorities. In the case of God, commandments are to delineate what is important and what is not. Marriage and child-baring are important because they are ordained by God. He told them to marry and bear children. He also said that they could eat of all the trees, including the Tree of Life, without dismaying Him. Like little children, what did they do? They ate what was forbidden and were not satisfied with what was provided.

  Hence, the nature of man is to want what they do not have, and not satisfied with what they have. That nature is the driving force behind socialism. All “isms” say the same thing in different words (1) Utopian socialism’s, “From each according to His capacity and to each according to his services” (Claude Henri de Saint-Simon), (2) Marxist socialism’s, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” (Karl Marx), and (3) Nazism’s “It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of the nation, that the position of the individual is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole” (Adolph Hitler) which can be summarized, From the individuals; to the nation. Italian fascism is also based on “fascio” — “bundling” of the individuals for strength.

  Ism’s are taking from one class and redistributing it to another class. Ism’s are the catalyst that accentuate classism that results in class warfare. “To those” is charity when it is voluntary. It is sinful when it is “from those.” Charity is, From God who has the capacity and ability; to those on who He has grace. “Adamism” (iniquity) is From God who forbids; to those who trespass. That is socialism as well.  It seems that Adam was the first socialist and died for his “ism.”

  Breaking one commandment is as breaking them all (Jas 2:10). Somehow by breaking that one commandment, Adam and Eve broke all ten. The easiest one is “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” because as the Serpent said, “Ye shall be gods.” They broke the Sabbath because God had rested from His endeavors. They coveted by wanting what was not theirs, and so forth. Adamism was based on breaking all the commandments. “Thou shalt not covet… anything that is thy neighbors” is the bases of all brands of socialism as well as Adamism.

  Once coveting, the obvious actions are stealing (Eve did that for Adam), lascivious behavior (covering their loins indicates some type of indubitably forbidden sexual behavior, and the like. With sexual freedom, feminism (the freedom to misbehave as men), and abortion (murder) as tenets of socialism, it seems that socialism is breaking all the commandments!

How about honoring father and mother? Socialism denigrates marriage and trivializes the family in favor of the “common good” — the bundles of individuals (fascimos) or the “masses.” The worst sin was like Adam’s and Eve’s most obvious; in socialism, the individuals who decide who gets what and when become the “gods.”

  The initiative is for socialists of all branches to make their own “Paradise” (Utopia) without God in it or having authority over it. Saint-Simon had his version, Marx his, Lenin his, Hitler his, and Mussolini his. Saint-Simons was Utopian where the benevolent leaders would divvy things out based on classes. Marx had his communal leaders which would do the same. Lenin his soviet bureaucracy, and Hitler his glorious Fourth Reich who would be the benevolent ones.

  What problem did Adam have. The redistribution system (the Serpent) had noting to give but took from God’s tree and said it was theirs for the having. God said it was not theirs to have. Hence, there was a revolution of man against God, and every ism since is a continuation of that revolution. Socialism was not created at that time; it was full-blown communism because God’s fruit was confiscated and redistributed through chicanery. As such, the Serpent broke another commandment; “Thou shalt not lie.” But he only “deceived” did he not? That is also the M.O. of “isms” that are contrary to and against God.

  Can you not see that Adam and Eve, by breaking one law, broke them all? Can you not see that socialism’s doctrine is breaking all the commandments and is foremost forsaking God and dependence on sinful men?

  Many Calvinistic Christians will say that the Ten Commandments no longer have utility. They were not written on stone by Jesus (God’s “Finger”) for nothing. They are for perpetuity. Mankind must still depend on God and do God’s Will. The Greatest Commandment is “love.” How can men demonstrate love? “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me” (John 14:21). The Ten Commandments are the metrics of love. How could Adam and Eve have shown their love for God? By doing what God commanded. How can mankind now demonstrate that same love? By doing what God commands. Those who love God depend on Him. Those who love the world depend on others or themselves. Thusly, socialism is dependence on individuals to supply the “needs” of the people.

  Adam and Eve “needed” the fruit of the forbidden tree so intensely that they risked death. God had already provided their needs in the Garden, but they wanted more, even what belonged to God. Socialism depends on that same innate desire to have things that belongs to others. The Forbidden Tree was God’s Creation and God’s property. Then Satan, cleverly disguised as a Serpent, took what belonged to God and redistributed it. For whose benefit? Did he truly care about the needs of Adam and Eve but was it for power? It was Satan who wanted to be God; he just tantalized Adam and Eve that they would be something that they were not and were never be.

  Man was made a little lower than the angels (Psalm 8:7). Angels are certainly not gods, and neither were the human beings. The angel, Lucifer, was not even a god, but he pretended to God’s throne. (Isa 14:13). Satan accused mankind of wanting to have the power but all the while, it was him. Why do billionaires — those whom the common people are a little lower — want socialism? For power; so they can be kings, presidents, party chairman, tsars, and even fuhrers!

  An intelligent millennial did not like my political comments. Why would I comment on politics? Because there was no wall between Church and State in the Garden and there is none in the world. In the end, Satan again will seek to be God and global socialist leader. What will he do to the masses? Use communistic force. What will happen to God’s faithful when they do not obey that government of Satan, by Satan, and for Satan? They will be beheaded if they stay true to Christ. Just who is Satan? He is no longer the angel, Lucifer, but is the Antichrist, and those who join his government are antichrists. My politics are a warning to Christians what is to come, and like Jesus, I am hated for nothing but sharing the truth to deceived people.

  The political American “Deep State” in the end, will be the world’s spiritual “Deep State.” Be forewarned. Isms always divide and conquer, and they all separate people into classes. Class warfare is their tool and how the masses are deceived. God’s children have no color; they are all transparent to Him. Satan wants people to see color! I will not.

SPIRITUAL "DEEP STATE" - SIFTING

SIFTING

  All the apostles thought themselves as invulnerable to the wiles of the Devil. The very one that Catholicism credits with the foundation of the universal Church denied Jesus. His intentions were good as he said, “Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death” (Luke 22:33), but then what did he do? He denied Jesus three times. He followed the pattern of Judas; he followed Satan as Satan was in Judas.

  Christians think they are safe from deception. Satan has many bags of tricks. He entered Judas for the his love of money. He led Peter away because of fear. Everyone has a stronghold because Satan will not leave Christians alone. Each of the disciples said that they would follow Jesus even unto death (John 14:31) but when the time came, they followed Jesus nowhere!

  Jesus had a purpose for Peter. He kept Peter safe: “But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren” (Luke 22:32). Peter’s faith could have failed; Jesus said so. The idea that one is eternally secure is a lie from the Devil. Faith is an endurance test and lasts to the end (Mat 10:22). Why would Jesus pray for his faith? To strengthen the others. They all could have failed, and if they had, Christianity would have died out.

  Even today, many think they are firm in their faith. Jesus told Peter that the Devil would sift him as wheat (Luke 22:31). How is wheat sifted? It is ground up into powder, screened to detect anomalies and lumps, and the worst thrown out. With that ability, Peter, the self-proclaimed strongest Christian, thinking that he was destined for greatness, denied Jesus three times. Even the strongest Christians are weak, and the Devil sifts them without them even knowing it.

  Why do Christians sin? Satan is sifting them to test their allegiance to Jesus. Why are some Christians so gullible to the ways of the world? Satan is easily sifting them. He turns the crank on the sifter, and in silence even the strongest Christians are “sifted.” All those exclamations that I know that I know that I know I am saved are an encouragement to Satan to sift harder.

  I recently argued with a younger person about how he had been duped. Since he was so intelligent, he just could not believe that he was so gullible. Satan can use knowledge against the person. That is the original “sifting” that the Serpent did back in the Garden. Adam and Eve only had knowledge of good, and they were easily deceived. Once they had the knowledge of evil, they began to see that shifty Serpent had sifted them without them even knowing it! He “turned their crank” as the expression goes, and they did not even know it until they had been sifted. Sometimes the strongest Christians are sifted the easiest because they think that they are spiritually strong. Jesus prayed for Peter. On what subjects? That his faith would not fail him, and that he would stay strong in the faith to strengthen the others.

  Peter did not stay strong of his own strength. Jesus’s prayer preserved his faith. Peter’s faith preserved the faith of others. Peter denied Jesus three times and the play seemed to end. However, the other apostles followed Judas who hung himself. By leaving Jesus, the apostles metaphorically hung themselves. If it had not been for the prayer of Jesus, the Judas Tree would have been full of deniers who thought that they were strong but were weak.

  Jesus preserved the apostles because of His Purpose. He was to die for mankind and the apostles were to spread that to the world. What if they had not? Then, they would serve no purpose and Satan would have indeed sifted them all out. They were allies with Jesus and knew Him personally… and you think your faith is so strong that Satan will never sift you! You foolish man or woman!

  How is Satan sifting the Christians during this time of tribulation? He is pitting one against the other. Just as the apostles argued who would be greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven, now they argue whose love is greater. They bloviate with, My love is greater because I am not a racist. Satan created a sifting method for that. They think their love is stronger because they proclaim themselves better. They do not hate the minority but hate the others who Satan is sifting. Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance stated in full follows:

  Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.

  Popper’s Paradox endorses violence and hatred to diminish hatred. The young person in my example thought it okay to hate me to show love for others. Satan was sifting him. He was on a high horse and the shining knight was implying that his love was greater than mine! It may be because love is hard work. That is the reason Jesus commanded love; if it came easy, no command would have been necessary. With that said, those who are the most tolerant have greater intolerance. Satan sifts them by making them greater in their own eyes and they are merely followers of Judas in route to his hanging tree.

  I know that love is hard and try hard. I often fail, but I pray to Jesus that I am never sifted. I must stay strong to strengthen others. I can not do that without Jesus. His Holy Spirit must comfort me during times of tribulation. It pains me to see so many of my fellow “priests” beguiled by Satan as they are sifted so easily. Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance is an instrument of the left. George Soros has made it his scheme to destroy America and eliminate God at the same time. He uses the most tolerant of people for his purpose, and it turns out that their methods are the most intolerant.

  In the case of George Floyd’s death, everyone has already judged him innocent and Derek Chauvin guilty. Is that a righteous thing to do? “Judge not lest ye be judged” and use the same metrics for others as you would for yourself to be judged (Mat 7:1-3). To be honest, I pre-judged the situation. I believed that Floyd was an honest man and that the officer was cruel. That may be the case, but then again, everyone must await the facts. Is that not what you would want for yourselves? Would you want a lynch mob to try, convict, sentence, and hang you? That is the method of “Judge Lynch” justice from the Ku Klux Klan. That’s the Nazi method from German Judge Roland Freisler. Now it is the American justice system and even Christians see it as okay! Why? Satan is sifting them and turning the crank ever so gently that they fail to realize it.

  Now look at Popper’s Paradox again. I have underlined several key points. “Keep them in check by public opinion.” “Them” is everyone. The media creates public opinion and generates hatred. They remold the most tolerant until they are the most intolerant and the greatest haters. Each time the liberal news media is tuned in, the listener is remolded. They present the news to influence the outcome. Liberal (Marxist) doctrine is propagated to influence even the most tolerant Christians to be haters. Popper’s Paradox aligns well with Propaganda minister George Goebbel’s in the Third Reich. People will believe the lie, and the more preposterous the lie, the more gullible they are. Think not? Democrats and liberals actually believed that President Trump was a Russian agent because of media propaganda. Many Christians hate Trump and fell for the lie as well. Preposterous accusations are called the “Big Lie” and they are so absurd that they could not possibly be made up! They actually believe that Trump is a racist just because he loves our country.

  The Big Lie is that conservatives are racists; that all the thoughts of Christian conservatives are on hating their fellow man. That is absurd. True Christians know that all races are sinners and that Jesus came to redeem them all. They also know that all men can be evil, and that includes all races. Blacks and foreigners are never innocent just because they are minorities, All races are racist; none are immune from racism because they are of a different color. But the courts and the media have dictated that only whites can be racists, and many go out of their way to prove that they are not!

  It can be seen all the time. Guilty, tolerant people treat blacks and other minorities differently. They patronize them by treating them special to show just how loving they are. That is much like the Pharisees praying in public to show how pious they were. Liberal people reveal their hypocrisy by always being there to help the weaker (sic} race who cannot make it on their own without “whitey’s” help. Those who truly are tolerant interact with people on an equal basis. If a black man is bad, he says, “You are bad.” If a black man is good, you appreciate his goodness. You don’t tell him out good he is because that is patronization. All they want is to be equals, and only a few to be better.

Americans have been indoctrinated by the PC Police to believe that they must pull up lesser (sic) people because they are little more than incapable children. That is the “plantation attitude” that guilt-ridden Democrats have for their former slaves. We enslaved them, but now we must elevate them. Most do not need their former masters to “help” them any longer. They know how they were “helped” for two centuries and cannot stand Democrat help any longer!

  “Rational thinkers are kept in check by public opinion” in that same point. Liberals think that they must control the thoughts of the general public. The “fake news” and the educational system, now accompanied by the entertainers, keep Americans in check all the time. Everyone is told what to believe and are castigated if they do not comply to the control. Roseanne Barr paid the price. Because she supported Donald Trump, the entertainment industry sifted her as wheat. Why are there few journalists, artists, and educators who are conservative? Because Satan sifts them out with the help of so-called tolerant people.

  The next underlined point from Popper is, “We should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force.” The George Floyd case is an example of the left, never letting a serious crisis go to waste. First off, it was not a serious crisis. People are cruel to people all the time. Abortion is the most cruel, but few seem to care. It was just another crisis where one man was hateful to another, if the allegation is true. George Floyd was not a just a black man, he was a fellow human being who happened to be born with black skin. However, so-called “tolerant” people must always distinguish color. Did Floyd die just because he was black, or did he die because there was overuse of conflict in a tense situation? The intent of Chauvin will never be known unless he reveals it himself, yet even well-meaning Christians think they know his motives. (I fell for that pre-judgment myself as I did in the Rodney King case.)

  The left made that a “serious crisis” and the orchestrated mob action was planned for someone under the influence of Popper’s Paradox. A good educated guess is George Soros, but he follows Judas, not Jesus. The mob again is under the spell of the Devil and because the world does not believe in him, they think that they are under control of things. They are sifted as Peter was, but much easier because Jesus is not with many of them, and if he is, they fail to hear the Comforter.

The violence seen in cities ran by the socialists is the “force” that they think will convince. Sadly, Americans have been convinced that hatred is an acceptable form of controlling hatred. Even some Christians believe it is acceptable to kill and rampage in the name of social justice. They would make great Klan members whose members had the same notion. Each member of the violent mob is sifted and are the naïve fools that Satan is using for his purpose; which is to destroy America and God’s influence in this country.

  The next Popper point is to, “Begin by denouncing all argument.” I have had family and friends denounce me as a “hater” because I believe that mob rule is evil and not true justice. I have been denounced as a “hater” because I believe true justice is the accused have a fair trial. Most people don’t want to be known as “racist” and “hater,” so they are intimidated into staying quiet. Name-calling denounces all rational argument. Because the left defines political correctness and has the tools to enforce it, free-thinkers are put into a position wherein they must shut up.

  The next Popper point is to, “Teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols.” In other words, to do away with hatred, violence is the second recourse. However, American is to the point wherein violence is the first recourse. When a black man dies by the hands of the law, the assumption is always that the victim was innocent. The liberal assumptions are that the black man can do no wrong, and that the police are always wrong. How did they like it when they were always prejudged that way by corrupt Democrats and the KKK? Not so much!

  The violence you see at the present is right out of Popper’s Paradox, and it is the tool of the left. That Soros said that he would bring down America by manipulating the back people may or may not be a reliable quote but that is his M.O. It fits well with the communist vision of America destroying itself from within. The militant blacks and whites that are burning buildings, killing policemen, and robbing businesses are being manipulated. By whom is debatable, but ultimately, they are being sifted by the Devil. How about the “innocent protesters?” They may not be “Peters,” but they are much like the other apostles who did not outright deny Jesus, but abandoned civility anyway. Those protesters who are not being violent are considered “cheerleaders” by the violent and by many of the duped people; those “stupid American voters” that the left uses for their purposes and votes.

  The last Popper point is the Paradox itself: “In the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.” Tolerance seems to be a noble characteristic, and on the part of God, that is an asset of His. For people, scripture teaches obedience and sin is not to be tolerated. Ultimately God is the most intolerant of sin than anyone because the wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23). Toleration of sin is the doctrine of the world and is not of God. Sin is not to be tolerated for anyone, even those who have been oppressed. God never consents to anger and destruction. Those are the Devil’s way of sifting out the righteous from the unrighteous.

  In essence, Popper’s, Soros’s, and the left’s Paradox is that it is okay to hate the haters. They have identified Christians as the greatest haters. Satan sifted so well that many Christians go out of their way to prove that they are not haters. Their attitude is to Look at me… look how loving I am of these lesser, unfortunate people. Minorities become “trophies” in their house to show just how non-racist they are. Blacks have advanced from servanthood to mantle decorations. Liberals, you have truly emancipated them as Democrats would have you to do.

  It is not okay to hate for any reason, even to stop hatred (that’s why it is paradoxical). It is murder, according to scripture. So-called “tolerant” people are murdering the intolerant in their hearts. Who then is the most intolerant? The tolerant. That is oxymoronic and only morons would think that irrational way.

  One time I went to a Klan rally in Bowling Green as many Christians did. I saw Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance first-hand. I stood with the Christians because I am a Christian. I am not a hater. Soon the Christians were inflamed and screaming hateful words toward the Klan members. They were hating the haters, and those who claimed to be tolerant were more intolerant than the Klan. I went away from both groups of haters and stood alone under a tree. I will not hate for any reason.

  I do have a regret: Before the rally, a young man with a Nazi tattoo and flag was preparing for the rally near me. I watched that skinhead dress for the occasion and said nothing. What should I have done? My commission was to tell him about Jesus because Jesus wants that none should perish (John 3:16). Jesus loves him as much as me or the other “Christians” at the rally. I should have told the Christians to cease their hating because Jesus loves that man that Satan had sifted early in his life.

You see… politics and religion cannot be kept separate. The notion of a wall between church and state is the Big Lie, and Christians have fallen for it. God takes care of everything, and He will soon take care of the mob in His time. I have faith that He can and will and that I cannot.

SPIRITUAL "DEEP STATE" - JUDGING

THE JUDGE

  An old Jewish proverb, from the Word of God is, “If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.” (Prov 25:20-21). Jesus was the perceived enemy of the Jewish establishment. If the scribes, Pharisees, and the others had been as religious as they claimed, then what should they have done with Jesus? Give Him water to drink and bread to eat. Instead what was it they did to Him? “They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.” (Mat 27:34). What did they give Jesus to eat? Nothing. Tradition has it that criminals receive a last meal. That tradition is ancient, is not the law but by grace, and is based on Jesus’s “Last Supper” (Walsh 2014).

  There is no evidence that Jesus ate at His Last Supper. He gave it to “them” (them being the apostles); they ate but Jesus did not. Jesus would fast until he suffered death. Jesus deserved to eat, but instead he gave the apostles bread to eat and “water” to drink in the form of wine. True to His word, He did not eat nor drink to suffer death. He died thirsty and hungry.

  At the Last Supper, Jesus satisfied the hunger and thirst of the apostles, but His death would be the body and blood that would eventually satisfy their hunger and thirst. We never think of it that way, but Jesus heaped coals of fire on their heads by nourishing them, but His “reward” was death. How so? The apostles could have stopped the mob out to kill Jesus. How could they have done that? If they had had enough faith, they could have moved mountains, and as easily cooled the crowd who were after Jesus.

  The apostles, if it had not been for the grace of Jesus, would have been condemned. Most were comfortable, except for John, away from the mob that they feared would kill them as well. The Last Supper was not only to remember Jesus, His Purpose, and His death; but also to remind mankind that all are guilty. Judas was obvious because he held the “smoking gun” but by not at least praying they would have shown their willingness to save God from death! While Jesus was agonizing what was about to happen to Him for the sake of mankind, the apostles were fast asleep.

  Peter, probably feeling guilty, cut off the ear of one of the members of the mob, but violence was not the Way of Jesus. What should have Peter and the other apostles done to that member of the mob? “Give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink.” Instead Peter attacked the man. Perhaps if they had welcomed the mob with love and charity, the mob would not have condemned Jesus to death. That is speculation, but it is also scriptural. It was God’s Will that Jesus die, but Jesus because His Flesh was about to suffer, dreaded death just as any man would. He asked God if His “cup” (purpose) could pass to another, but it could not. God’s own Flesh had to die for efficacy.

How could the mob be defeated? Charity and love would have condemned them and either metaphorically, or reality, God could have destroyed the mob by fire. Instead the manner of the mob was typical — they were out for blood, and no blood would suffice but the blood of the most innocent Man to ever live. God judges by fire. In the end, sinful men will die but suffer by fire and brimstone in Hell. It is not the place of men to judge harshly, as it is written, “Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment… in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour (Lev 19:15).

  The manner is not that anyone not judge, but in righteousness they shall judge. That is not contradictory to what Jesus said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged” (Mat 7:1) because Jesus clarified that, “with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” People should judge as they would want to be judged; that is righteous judgment. Furthermore, it is written: 

³⁶ Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. ³⁷ Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven (Luke 6:36-37)

  People must not judge others harshly; to the extent that the accused is to condemn. Why is that? Because Jesus would be judged harshly. The mob hated the grace that would flow so freely from Jesus when He excused their actions by saying that they did not know what they are doing (the mob and His executioners). However, because Jesus gave them “bread to eat and water to drink” in the form of His Body and Blood, His grace would “heap hot coals on their heads.” The consequence of their ignorance is death in Hell. They caused their own souls to burn!

  Years ago, a mob of people killed several members of an Amish church. Grace is what the Amish church did for those who murdered their members. Rather than judging harshly against those who murdered the innocent Amish, they forgave them of their sins. They understood Jesus and His Way and did what Jesus would do. Rather than attacking the “English” community for the wrongs of the few, they showed grace. They did not burn the cities of those that were against them, let alone a stupid thing like burning their own settlements. Crazy people do irrational things, and those of the Amish church were rational.

  Now for current events. The mob of the left are that crazy and their type of law is irrational! Cities are burning and stores are looted because a black man suffered injustice. George Floyd, an innocent man died, not that he was righteous but apparently, he was judged unfairly by the man who stood on him, and allegedly suffocated him. In fairness, before the officer is condemned, “righteous judgment” is based on facts and not emotions. My first emotion was to “crucify” the officer and those who stood idly by while the travesty occurred. The other officers were like the “apostles” who could have stopped Jesus’s death. The crowd who watched, and who could have intervened, are akin to those in the crowd at Jesus’s death who could have at least asked Pilate for mercy, or even physically stopped the cruelty. All of them are guilty!

  Furthermore, for His death, Jesus didn’t blame Pilate as much as those behind the plot. The Jewish government and religion had just laws but unjust application of them. They did their will; not God’s Will even though they knew it. Those who plotted Jesus’s death should have understood from their own faith that Jesus was who He said He is, and that is God in the Flesh. The point is that killing a person is more than stepping on them but living in a milieu of cruelty. The Jewish officials had a practice of harsh judgment. That is evident from scripture. The Jewish people allowed that to happen. They could have depended on God more than the Sanhedrin (their clerical governors) or Roman Law (secular government).

  Righteous governments are those that not only have the law but follow the tenets of all the laws without respect to persons. Justice, to be fair, must be colorblind and not a respecter of persons. The law must apply equally to everyone. With the current EEO statutes and affirmative action, and the double-jeopardy of federal civil rights legislation, the justice system is out of balance. All lives, according to scripture, does matter, including the lives of black men and women. Even the lives of unborn black children should matter to Christians. Well-meaning liberals who do not know what they are doing have created an institution that creates division and furthers discontent.

  What the motives of the alleged perpetrator in the George Floyd death may be is not known. Perhaps he was overzealous, or perhaps he was a hater. To judge fairly, the man should not be prejudged because no one would want that type of vigilante-type justice for themselves. The mob has already tried and convicted the alleged murderer. By burning cities and trying to kill policemen and even the President, they are nothing more than a chaotic group of sinful people who are “doing what is right in their own eyes” (Jud 17:6) when there was no government to stop them. Base sin amounts to men doing what they think is right without regard to what is right. The members of the mob who are burning cities and creating a Hell on Earth are judging harshly with great condemnation. That is not their role but belongs only to God and the legitimate justice system.

  Those who take the law into their own hands and wreak havoc on civilization are like the mob who condemned Jesus to die although he had not been proven guilty of any crime. Jesus died merely because He Is God and claimed that to be true. Now the mob is judging the American way by attacking the persons and property of innocent people. How can punishing the innocent balance the scales of justice? That is irrational because that is not true justice. The mob that condemned Jesus is like “Judge Lynch” that judged the blacks and their white allies. They had their own manner of indictment, forensics, selection of witnesses, conviction, and punishment by death. The mob in all the major American cities are just a diverse group as evil as the KKK who also were doing what they perceived as right.

  Who puts the thought into the heads of the people of the mob? Is it God’s Purpose for them to do evil on behalf of justice? Their actions are driven by Satanic influences. Of course, liberal churches do not believe in demons or Satan, so they blame the oppressors. In this case, they judge who the oppressors are; they are thought to be the ones who follow civil law. They claim that the minorities are the oppressed when the actual law is just the opposite and puts justice on the side of the minority.

Perhaps the officer was resentful for two systems of justice. That is no excuse, but many people want justice for all, and of equal fairness. Perhaps liberal politicians have ignorantly created a system that creates division and unfairness, all in the name of good intentions.

  The good intentions of the Jewish people with Jesus was to rally to the cause of their true Messiah by ridding the world of this man posing as Him. The intent of the Jewish authorities was protecting their own civil and religious authority. Unbalanced systems of government exist in America for those same reasons: (1) the people have good intentions and (2) the politicians want power. Who truly believes that the Democrats care about Mr. Floyd? Who really thinks that the mob that kills the unborn and attacks their own citizens care about Mr. Floyd’s death?

  What is it that the mob wants? They want another form of government. They fail to understand that their attacks on civilization is not their ideas but are planned and carried out by someone behind the scenes. What is worse, they don’t even ask who is the driving force that coordinates their activities. They have the herd mentality, and fail to realize that they are mere tools (fools) of those with motives.

If you rallied for a cause, would you not care who was organizing the rally? Before any rational person risks jailtime or even death for a cause, should they not wonder whose cause it is? Who wants them to burn cities and attack the police, soldiers, and civilians? Does God want that? How about the Devil? Is that not his M.O.? Satan is the author of chaos and God of order. Whose will is it that the mob judge and implement inequitable justice? Certainly not God’s Will!

  Those who are with the mob, casting the fire or not, are accomplices. They are as guilty as those who stood by and watch Jesus die. The governors, mayors, and other officials are more guilty than the actual mob because they, as the Jewish authorities long ago, created a system that incites people to riot. Who had the greater sin in the death of Jesus? The Jewish authorities. Who has the greater sin in today’s mob? The liberal politicians of the big city “plantations” that Democrats still build. They claim to protect the itinerant helpers in the crime fields of the big cities, but all the while, the blacks remain in bondage to a system left over from ante-bellum days and still uses them for the big city mayors and such to remain masters of their domains.

  The apostles heaped fire on Jesus’s head. They were sinners as well, and Jesus died for their sins as well. Even Christians who support today’s mob activity are guilty of the crimes committed by the mob. If you sit in your lazy chair right now and see this as justice for the oppressed, then you are not on God’s side. You “eat” with Jesus, but all the while, you condemn the Lord by your failure to discern good from evil. True Christians would test everything to scripture. Nowhere did Jesus even suggest that people take the law into their own hands or judge harshly. The Christian who supports the mob is a bench-warmer who loses the game without even playing in the game (obviously a metaphor).

  Christians should not be concerned with the oppressed as much as the deceived. Once deception is overcome, oppression may end. Perhaps there is a conspiracy for mob justice. Perhaps there is an antichrist directing it all. My worry is that the same Satan who entered the Serpent and Judas, is still  alive and raging. People do his will and fail to understand who is behind it all. The director of the mob is ultimately Satan, but again; liberal Christians do not believe in Satan. Perhaps that is their problem. Perhaps they are easily deceived because they fail to believe in the Deceiver. Perhaps they fail to even believe in God!
