HOW TO REVERSE AMERICA'S PLUNGE INTO THE ABYSS

#4 of 4 The last three blog posts have focused on the escapist Christians – those who, led by their clergy, are looking forward to escaping the coming tribulations of this world by way of the “rapture”, thus abandoning their sacred duty to Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free (Gal. 5:1), and surrendering their children by default to hell on earth..

My 30 previous blog posts focused on America’s sacred Judeo Christian heritage, and the action mandates given by Christ Himself to all faithful Christians if we are to triumph over evil and continue to enjoy our God-given freedoms. Read them again and you will be well equipped to increase your effective witness.

The urgent need

America’s Christians need urgently to rise above the fog and spring into action with a concise reference guide which tackles and sets forth the crucial central burning issues of our times, and their related biblical mandates.

Such a proven reference guide does exist.

The essential militant Christian book

It is a book of Christian action mandates titled AMERICA – A CALL TO GREATNESS. It has been marketed on TV nationwide, including to the U.S. Armed Forces, and worldwide to over 200 countries; and bears endorsements by numerous of the greatest leaders of our cause.

It is designed to propel the reader out of the bleachers and off his reservation, and turn him into an effective warrior in the cause of America’s God-given freedoms.

This book is a MUST purchase for you. It will make you lethal in debates. Following are some of the hot topics in the book. If you buy this book,

Here’s what you’ll get in the book
AMERICA - A CALL TO GREATNESS

. The Christian worldview

. What is greatness?

. The militant, action-based faith of the Founding Fathers, name-by-name

. How the clergy neutralizes Christians

. What is “Abandonment Theology”?

. The Founding Fathers, slavery and “reparations”

. Church and State: the “wall of separation”

. America – democracy or republic?

. America – “A nation of laws? Who’s laws?
. Declaration of Independence & U.S. Constitution – anchored in the Bible?

. Government – the servant: Christian duty – what Christ mandates (Rom. 13:1-4)

. Salvation and works: are works important to Christ?

..Military Vulnerability: from without; from within

. Public schools – what wrecked them?

. Consequences when God was kicked out? Tolerant clergy and parents

. Creation vs evolution, seeds of freedom, or tyranny

. Christ the warrior: His mission “…to destroy the works of the devil”

. “Bleachers Christians” in the holocaust: pre-Nazi Germany; pre-communist Russia

. What is love? Does “love” mean to tolerantly “turn the other cheek”?

. When to tolerate: the most intolerant man who ever walked on Planet Earth

. “Front Line Organizations” fighting our battles

. Endorsements by America’s foremost church and political leaders

To sharpen verbal combat

Why do you need this book? So you can effectively combat and triumph over defeatist clergymen such as the following: Read this accounting of his national radio broadcast and ask yourself, “Is it any wonder why our enemies call the influence of the Christian church
“irrelevant”?

Abandoning Planet Earth

“You know, folks, people call my office and ask, ‘Dr. ____, don’t you love your country? You’re always so negative about it and unwilling to get into the battle.’ I respond, Of course I love my country, and I love living here. I love my freedoms, but I have to face the fact that America is on the way down as was ancient, pagan Rome, and she will meet the same horrible fate because of her sins. My concern is not for a country that is finished, but rather for the kingdom of God. I love my family. My concern is that they be right with God and concern themselves with the kingdom where nothing that happens on earth can affect their salvation and immortal souls.”

NOTE: America was never founded like ancient, pagan Rome. The above is indicative of so much of today’s clergy.

Another R.C. Sproul classic

I suspect that Dr. R.C. Sproul would respond to this famous preacher:
“Other religions may choose a radical denial of this world, seeking asylum in a supratemporal sphere of mystical otherworldliness; but Christianity enjoys no such luxurious option. Attempts by Christians, past and present, to quit this world in ascetic retreat betray a tacit denial of the most elemental principles of the Christian view of creation and redemption.”

NOTE: What consequences has God projected to nations when their citizens abandon their duty in this world, that is, abdicate their sacred responsibilities and duties? What has God decreed? All Nations That Forget God shall be turned into hell (Psalm 9:17)

Has America Passed the point of no return?

That’s God’s call. He makes this promise clear to us:

At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them (Jer. 18:7-8)

AMERICAN ACHILLES: RAPTURE, PRETRIB, PREMIL

Part 3 of 4. Continuing the common interpretation of Revelation: after the Rapture, a master deceiver- a man of peace, will turn out to be the anti-Christ, but not evidenced until after the first three and one half years. Those who hold to that midway thesis are said to hold the Premillinneal Midtribulational View . At the end of the 7 years of tribulation Jesus Christ will return “in the clouds” in His Second Coming. He will set up and reign over a kingdom on earth for 1,000 years. There will then be a resurrection of the wicked dead from all time, and they will be lost for all eternity, thrown alive into the Lake of Fire., and we will have a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH where we will dwell in joy forever with no tears and no sorrow. To which the people respond, "Come quickly, Lord Jesus!"

“ A new heaven and a new earth?” How could that be, in view of the Christian church’s Doxology itself and Ephesians 3:21 which declare that the world is WITHOUT END.

Although the above is the most commonly accepted interpretation of Revelation and prophesy of coming events, what duty does it call forth, to "occupy"(Luke 19:13) which involves the believer in obedience to Christ’s action mandates here and now in today's world?

In WHAT scripture...?

In what scripture, New or Old, does God authorize believers to abandon their sacred duty to Stand up against the workers of iniquity (Ps 94:16); to Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free (Gal 5:1); that we walk after His commandments (II John 6); and countless other such mandates from God pertaining to the here and now, and to the preservation and perpetuation of our sacred God-given freedoms.

In fact, the Christian's leader is Jesus Christ ...

Whose very mission statement was to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8); and to set at liberty them that are oppressed (Luke 4:18. Most people simply find it, together with a multiplicity of other end-times theories, overwhelming, thus their frequently heard expressions, “Come quickly, Lord Jesus”, “no more delay”. Devoid of leadership, many of the confused, de-energized, unfocused, squabbling, neutralized Christians (the “church”) have been relegated to the bleachers as pacifists and observers of events and taken out of the fight for America. After all, they're told, "We're IN this world, not OF it. Anyway, "mixing church and state could prove to be politically incorrect.

The Premillennial Pretribulation View, etc.

Whereas the prevalent view is known in "apologetics" theology as the Premillennial Pretribulational View, there is another similar view known as Premillennial Posttribulational in which the Rapture and the Second Coming occur simultaneously following the 7 year tribulation on earth (nobody escapes the anguish of the tribulation). Bear in mind that this theological in-fighting and energy-dissipating trades off, more accurately, "sacrifices" priceless time which should be devoted to obeying God's action mandates in all earthly matters.

Rapture history

Beginning in the year 44 AD, continuing through 3:28 AM London time on September 14, 2047 there will have been 220 predictions setting the date for the rapture. Many factions of "believers" have gone to the mountains to be raptured out of this world, only to be disappointed.

Revelation 16:13-14, 16 speaks of Armageddon (the location of the last great war), but scholars do not yet know exactly where the valley of Megiddo (Armageddon) is, in which the last world war will be fought.

To further complicate matters, a major faction of Bible scholars and researchers known as Preterists have recently gained the endorsements of some of the world’s most noted theologians. Preterists claim that Christ already returned in 70 AD, that the predictions for His return were for the generation of that time (Mat 10:23), not for 2,000 years in the future.

IN CONCLUSION: The prophesy experts have contradicted each other vehemently over the years and have written countless books expounding their theories. They have beaten on each other so ferociously that even a book was written about them titled “Prophecy Inn The Ring”. The cover shows a pair of boxing gloves. The resulting uncertainty about the future is the question of whether, in the name of Christ, America’s Christians (excepting a “remnant”), by defecting from the battle, have surrendered their children (their sacred trust) to the wiles and horrors of the devil.

Defection – Satan’s Master Coup

Nowhere in the Old and New Testaments are Christians authorized to abandon or compromise their vigilance in the relentless struggles against tyranny...against the evil ones who have drenched, and continue to drench, the world in misery. Bible describes them: Their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes (Rom. 3:15-18).

They are the reality of today's world, and Christians, being the only force which can stand off and defeat the forces of iniquity, have no authorization from God to quit the battle or slacken their vigilance toward victory as did America's Founding Fathers.

On the contrary, the Bible is packed with mandates to the faithful, direct from God, to stand and fight IN THIS WORLD, using the helmet of salvation and the Sword of the spirit, which is the word of God (Eph. 6:17), and the vast resources He has given us. [See essay #4 for another priceless priceless quote, in the context of a story, from Dr. R.C. Sproul, which states:

"Other religions may choose a radical denial of this world, seeking asylum in a supratemporal sphere of mystical otherworldliness; but Christianity enjoys no such luxurious option. Attempts by Christians, past or present, to quit this world in ascetic retreat betray a tacit denial of the most elemental principles of the Christian view of creation and redemption."

Satan, the author of confusion and death, must be ecstatic with the escapist, crippling abandonment mentality of vast numbers of today's Christians and the clergy.

Despite the warnings over decades from a handful of clergymen and leaders who clearly saw what was happening to America and became "watchmen on the wall" (Ezekiel 33:3) sounding the trumpet of alarm, the people aka the "church" have allowed themselves to be stripped of vigilance. direction, and definition of their purpose and mission in life in the service of Christ.

Primed for the kill?

America's leaderless Christians have allowed the eternal vigilance and action mandates for involvement by their Creator to be watered down, eroded and compromised. Are they now primed for the kill by their ruthless, bloodthirsty God and Christ-hating enemies?

What if they do not escape via the rapture? What have they given to their children and loved ones?

Whom do the rapture-focused clergy serve?

REVELATION, CONFUSION AND NEUTRALIZING CHRISTIANS

Part 2 of 4 essays

If I were going to destroy (bring down) America:

(1) I would not attempt it by way of a sudden military strike. Rather, I would erode the moral and legal foundations: If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Ps 11:3). I would outlaw prayer and Bible reading in the public schools in order to deprive future generations of an awareness of their sacred heritage and commensurate duties in this fallen world. I would gag the clergy and threaten them and their churches with government sanctions based on 501(c) 3 tax status, and “hate crimes” such as preaching the biblical view of the abomination of homosexuality. I would remove every recognition of God from the federal buildings and from our coinage. I would belittle and mock the Founding Fathers and cast them as “opportunists”. Note: much of the above has already been accomplished or is in progress.

Military vulnerability

(2) I would slowly disarm America’s vital missile defenses and essential state-of-the-art counter-strike weapons systems, as President Obama has pledged to do (see my 6/7/09 blog essay: “Is Obama Crippling U.S. Military Defense?”).

(3) Simultaneously, I would take the militancy out of the church, replacing it with “tolerance” and passive “love”; focus on every conceivable social activity; invert the meaning of the centerpiece of Christian commitment and action, “love”, reducing it to mean gushy sentimentalism, not Christ’s battle cry: This is love, that we walk after His commandments (2 John6). To“walk” is a full action mandate. I would change the thrust of the church’s teachings to “victorious personal living”, and end-times rapture-based prophesy.

Classic Sproul

The famous theologian/professor Dr. R. C. Sproul summarized America’s deteriorating condition today:

“Wearing a benign mask, the secularist loudly proclaims his commitment to religious tolerance on behalf of those weak-minded souls who still cannot bear to face a hostile, or worse, an indifferent universe, without the narcotic effect of ecclesiastical opium. The church is safe from vicious persecution at the hands of the secularist, as educated people have finished with stake-burning circuses and torture racks. No martyr’s blood is shed in the secularist West – so long as the church knows her place and remains quietly at peace on her modern reservation. Let the babes pray and sing and read their Bibles, continuing steadfast in their intellectual retardation; the church’s extinction will come not by sword or pillory, but with the quiet death of irrelevance. It will pass away with a whimper not a bang. But let the church step off the reservation, let her penetrate once more the culture of the day, and the Janus face of secularism will change from benign smile to savage snarl.”

Extracting the teeth

(4) Next, as part of my plan to destroy America, following the erosion of her foundations and the extraction of the teeth of militancy from her churches and her men, and substituting passive "love" and "tolerance" to blur definition of our mortal enemies, I would capitalize on the loss of orientation and purpose of America's Christians by focusing on the Book of Revelation, and on the “end times” and “last days” by introducing all manner of confusing interpretations about the future and when Christ will return (Second Coming) to defeat the anti-Christ on our behalf.

(5) I would emphasize the doctrine of “free” salvation, that is, of salvation without responsibility and the duty to obey Christ’s mandates, thus making such obedience an option, not an evidence of salvation. I would stress that nothing is expected or required of a “born-again” Christian because all that is necessary for him to have a place in paradise, is his proclamation of faith. (Salvation without the fruit of works focuses on one’s self, not on service to Christ.)

Grace vs (?) works

Many are deceived into thinking that inasmuch as salvation is by grace, not by works, works are not important to Christ. The fact is that “works” (the real power factor from the newly indwelling Holy Spirit) are the irresistible manifestation and outflowing evidence of one’s salvation, Spiritual transformation, and empowerment by the Holy Spirit. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?(James 2:20). Outflowing works, inspired and directed by the indwelling Holy Spirit, are the power factor which gives the born-again Christian his spiritual vision, discernment, and fearless determination to triumph over Satan in his innumerable manifestations. No – simply “saying” you accept Christ as Lord and Savior does not give you a highway and bus to heaven. God will not be mocked. Conversely, Satan is no match for a truly born-again transformed (energized) Christian.

Peace?

(6) I would next introduce a factor of utter confusion, though the most commonly accepted interpretation regarding Revelation, the “rapture” of the church, which is to be followed by the invasion of Israel from the north by Gog and Magog, thereafter by 7 years of great “tribulation” on the earth, which will begin with a man of peace signing a peace treaty with Israel that allows them to rebuild their temple.

-------------------------------

Next blog post (#3) will concern the prophesied return of Christ "in the clouds", His 1,000-years reign and the establishment of a "new heaven and new earth", in contrast to the Christian Doxology and to Ephesians 3:21 which declare that the "world is without end"; and how those beliefs relate to the confusion and neutralizing of America's Christians at an hour when the maximum of clear vision and duty (obedience to Christ) is required of them.

The views expressed herein are strictly the author's. The reader's views are invited.

Most quotes are taken from two books: Abandonment Theology, and America - A Call To Greatness.

IF I WERE THE ENEMY OF AMERICA'S SACRED FREEDOMS

The following series of 4 posts comprise a story of how a deadly, paralyzing, anti-Christian cancer has been gradually injected into a Christian-founded nation long known as the light and hope of the world ... an oasis of life in a sea of godlessness, suffering, and death - a beacon of freedom once invincible to tyranny.

For decades, the cancer has eaten away at America’s heart, rendering her Christians confused and increasingly impotent in the face of ruthless evil which has one objective – her destruction..

From confrontation to surrender

The cancer has caused untold millions of church-going Christians to shift their focus away from subduing the wiles of the devil in THIS world, as Christ commands them to do with unrelenting vigilance, that is, to Occupy till I come (Luke 19:13); to concentration on an escape into paradise by means of the much-debated “rapture” which will signal the onset of the prophesied “tribulation”, “Armageddon”, Second Coming of Christ, His 1,000-year reign, followed by the “judgment” and eternal paradise with the Lord in a “New Heaven” and “New Earth”.

The one thing Christians have that is absolutely incontrovertibly unchangeably true and certain is their duty to live and be triumphant in THIS world prior to the rapture. Heaven and earth will pass away…but…his truth [laws] endureth to all generations (Mat. 24:36 & Psalm 100:5); to obey the action mandates of Christ, and in return to reap the Lord’s blessings for themselves and posterity, trusting that Christ will return when He is ready, NOT when our Bible scholars determine that He will: But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only (Mat. 24:36).

All tyrants recognize that America’s strength, power and resolve have historically been rooted in her churches, that is, as French historian Alexis deTocqueville expressed it: “Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive of one without the other.”

Christianity brought to man an action-packed Christ-serving militancy of conviction which permeated every dimension of personal and national life in the spiritual, ideological and political realms, all exhaustively detailed in the Bible and cast within the framework of individual citizen responsibility.

The ultimate authority on government and freedom

In fact, the Fathers contended that inasmuch as Christ was (is) the Author of liberty, there was no more exhaustive book about politics, government and freedom than the Holy Bible. Thus they prayerfully drew upon it’s precepts in writing the Declaration of Independence (a declaration of man’s God-given right to be free), and the U.S. Constitution (the laws to establish our checks and balances Republic necessary to secure the divine rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as set forth in the Declaration.

What we have

When God, the Author of Liberty, governs in every citizen’s life, and His governing manifests itself as an awareness of duty, responsibility and the highest level of moral integrity, the citizens will be happy, free and their nation militarily prepared and invincible. Invincible, because Christianity recognizes and deals with the “fallen nature of man” and his propensity to enslave his fellow man, and that The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked (Jer. 17:9). In fact, that is why our Republic was grounded upon a system of checks and balances (Isaiah 33:22) and upon the “pillars of freedom” a/k/a The Ten Commandments.

If I were going to destroy America

Part 2 will concern the use of prophesy and speculated end-times time tables to strip the power from America's Christians and render them passive, surrendered spectators in the bleachers instead of warriors on the temporal battlefronts of "this world" where Christ commands them to be.

As you will see in my three upcoming blog posts, were I an enemy of America I would use last-days end-times, rapture at any-moment, prophesy to render Christians incapable of defining and identifying their earthly enemies; and to decimate their normal fighting spirit and will to win. At the same time I would create a longing among them for a painless escape through the rapture, from their duties to Christ in this life on this planet. I would promote (market) this "abandonment" theology in the name of Christ.

Note: At no time did God the Father or Jesus Christ Himself anywhere in the Old or New Testaments advocate or suggest that less than maximum effort and commitment by believers could be justified under any pretense, certainly not speculation on the future.

"THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU CHRISTIANS TO GET UP OFF YOUR KNEES..."

By the zenith of the 1980 Reagan/Carter election run, President Jimmie Carter, under absurd policies such as "detente" and "peaceful coexistence" had drastically crippled America’s strategic military defenses. At the same time the Soviet Union had focused every effort on development of a first strike nuclear attack to be delivered by intercontinental bombers, land-based ICBMs, and submarine-launched missiles. Few American citizens had any concept of the weakening thread by which their freedoms hung. Even Henry Kissinger spoke publically of the gravity of the crisis.

General George J. Keegan

General George J. Keegan, a committed Christian, decorated combat soldier, head of U.S. Air Force Intelligence, fully understood the imminent threat we faced and took early retirement in order to be free to alarm the American people. He tirelessly delivered speeches and radio broadcasts, and spoke out with an unprecedented passion. I was with General Keegan when on a Sunday morning he addressed a national television audience from the podium of one of the largest churches in America, Coral Ridge Presbyterian PCA, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Dr. D. James Kennedy yielded a full half hour to him.

Imperative for Christian Action

General Keegan delivered his thundering oration to a jam-packed sanctuary, detailing the critical military peril to which Jimmie Carter had brought us. He stressed the imperative for Christian action at the voting booth. I shall never forget General Keegan’s final words as he leaned over the podium and swept his finger across the stunned, tension-filled audience:

“The time has come for you Christians to get up off your knees, NOT to stop praying, but to obey Jesus Christ and get out onto the battlefront as you are commanded to do!”

That telecast was replayed countless times throughout America, and the sound track was distributed on cassette tape into every state and into over 100 countries.

Victorious President Reagan's immediate emergency action

As you know, the victory went to President Reagan who, understanding the gravity of the military crisis, immediately ordered drastic maximum-effort stopgap defensive measures which I will not enumerate here, except to pose a teaser question: If a vital element in a Soviet first strike strategy was to destroy our intercontinental bombers on the ground, what if there were no bombers on the ground? Thank you President Reagan! The USSR leaders were so stunned that they were caught off guard. Soon came President Reagan’s checkmate known as SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative), that is, space-based weapons for defense designed to attack and destroy a Soviet nuclear first strike in flight.

General Keegan’s words, which bear repeating, still ring in my head: “The time has come for you Christians to get up off your knees, NOT to stop praying, but to obey Jesus Christ and get out onto the battlefront and do what Christ commanded you to do!”

One man

Consider the impact this one man had on the destiny of our country - of our God-given freedoms. Morning, noon and night he delivered hundreds of speeches.

What happened to General Keegan? He died…like many of our country’s founding fathers, long before his time, from absolute burnout and exhaustion.

Upcoming blogs

My upcoming blog essays will focus on why and how millions of well-meaning Christians are today on their knees praying for God's intervention, instead of prayerfully being on their feet exerting their maximum effort to save their loved ones and our country.

They are on their knees and not on their feet mainly because of confusion about the timetable for the "rapture", the "tribulation", the return of Christ; confusion over the theology of pre-millennialism, a-millennialism, and post-millennialism; Preterism (which contends that Christ already returned in 70 AD, and many other last-days, end-times theories.

Thus far there have been over 200 speculated dates regarding the day and even the hour for Christ's return. The paralysis of action resulting from such confusion has been and is like a deadly cancer to our freedoms. As you will see in my upcoming blog posts, it constitutes lame, gradual surrender of our God-given freedoms, in the name of Christ.

My essays will constitute a series which will leave no doubt that America was born in the pulpits and will perish there unless the deadly neutralizing paralysis induced by the abandonment (of duty) clergy can be overcome.

A TIME FOR LOVE; A TIME FOR WAR?

There is a frequently-heard expression: "Sure, our country is collapsing because of its abandonment of God. He is in control and America is coming under His judgment. I'm not going to engage in the struggles that deter the rate of collapse, and thus the return of Christ."

Auto-justified abandonment of duty

That topic, auto-justification for one's neutrality and paralysis of action in the holocaust to the Christian faith and to our Christian-based American Constitutional Republic, when the most is demanded of Christians by our Creator. It is an infectious cancer which is an affront to God, a slap in His face. It denies the "seasons" which he spelled out in the Bible, and the duties in every season which he commands of men and women of faith. Those duties are detailed over and again throughout the Old and New Testaments.

A time of war?

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal;... A time to weap, and a time to laugh;... A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace..... (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8).

This theme will be expounded in my upcoming continuation of my last blog essay which was titled "Prophesy And End-Times Christian Paralysis".

PROPHESY AND END-TIMES CHRISTIAN PARALYSIS

If you knew for certain that Christ would return tomorrow, what would He have you do today? What does the Bible really mandate to be a true Christian's duty in these supposed "last days"?

Countless Christians who should be in the vanguard of America’s front-line Christian forces, and engaged in the great political struggles of our times (as mandated in Romans 13 and throughout the scriptures) are neutralized and paralyzed under the abandonment leadership of their rapture-focused, last days, end-times, politically correct clergy.

Authorized by whom?

How do “believers” justify their escape into neutrality at such an hour as now, from their clear Christ-mandated duties to Occupy till I come; to Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free; to Stand up against the workers of iniquity; to be Salt and Light? Is blind trust; such abdication of duty to be a force against the workers of iniquity at this pivotal hour in the struggles for our God-given freedoms, authorized by Christ? Are these “Christians” and their clergy simply using Christ to justify “hear no evil, see no evil” abandonment of Him, when in fact He requires the maximum of courage and resolve?





COMING SOON: answers to the above, and more focused issues of today. Also, a candid look at Christian prophesy: the “last days”, the “end times”, the rapture”, the “tribulation”, the Second coming of Christ. In that light, American Christian duty TODAY.
