Armageddon Revisited
The discovery of oil in the middle of the 19th Century is
what set the world on the present course of world wars one and two, and
now we are in the early stages of world war three. The first shots were
fired on September 11, 2001. The other battles were mere skirmishes
within the major war for the control of world oil resources. It may
seem ironic that the discovery of oil also coincided with the discovery
of genuine Christianity in the foothills of Mesopotamia. The oldest
churches from the 1st Century of Christianity had to be cleared out of
the way if the West was going to be able to exploit the oil in the
Middle East, because Western Christianity was based on false premises.
Western Christianity was not prepared to own up to
the truth about the Scriptures and would have to
mislead the people of the world about their intentions.
The Western World would have to deny the existence
of the authentic branch of Christianity, namely
the Ancient Church of the East and Eastern Christianity.
They had to sacrifice Eastern Christianity in their
greed for oil and thus prove their utter lack of
legitimacy as a Christian people following in the
footsteps of the Apostles of Jesus.
This was a heavy price to pay, but the West decided that
there was no other alternative.
In North Mesopotamia the final phase of clearing out the genuine
Christians is now taking place. A few European nations are reporting on
it in the news media even. American Christianity has ignored the
genocide of Eastern Christianity for too long; there is a price to pay
for this.
In 18 days the American people will decide the fate of Christianity in America.
Every election held in American history was predicated on a candidate
having to be a Christian. John Kennedy was the only exception. John
Kennedy was the first Catholic to be elected President of the United
States.
This election, for the first time in history and without any publicity
or fanfare, all the candidates entered the race without stating their
religious affiliation. And strangely nobody made an issue of this fact.
None of the news media have even done a story on it! Christianity has
been removed as a precondition to the Presidency without anybody
raising a question regarding this astounding development. Exactly when
or why did this state of affairs come into being? Was it because
Senator Barack Hussein Obama was the first Presidential candidate in
history who was a Muslim until he entered politics a few years ago?
This would explain it, but then why didn't any of the other candidates
state their religious faith? Were they afraid of the atheist media? Did
the US suddenly become an atheist country without anybody being aware
of it?
Well, there is the issue of prayer in public schools. The Supreme Court
violated the Constitution by ruling in the early 70s that prayer in
public schools was illegal, based on the case of a primary school
student being of a different faith. The Senate should have brought this
ruling by the Supreme Court for trial in Congress, but they didn't. The
Congress has never done this, yet it is their Constitutional duty to do
so when such a major component of the Constitution has been violated.
Little by little the influence of the Bible on American life has been
whittled away by the atheists and leftists in America, until today we
find ourselves a secular society with Christianity as only a symbolic
presence in American public life. For example, recently, the symbol of
the Cross was removed from the shield of Los Angeles County. Nobody
complained. A statue of the Ten Commandments was removed from in front
of a public building in West Virginia. The Supreme Court ruled that it
was alright. This sort of thing has been going on for a few decades
now, and nobody has been paying attention to it, because Christianity
has really been on the decline in the US for many years now.
So now it has come to this election. Is America a Christian country or
not? Is God a reality in American life or is he a religious symbol in a
secular state? Of course, we know that according to the US Government
Department of Education God did not create the universe; therefore, the
Bible has been outlawed since the 50s in American public schools. So
half a century later, with no sign of God, Americans have decided to
forget about God, and as for Jesus, well, you can believe in anything
you want. We have to be honest with ourselves. Are we Christians or not?
If Jesus is the Son of God and if everything proceeds according to
God's Will, then there must be a reason why the name of Jesus is taboo
in the campaigns of both candidates.
Therefore, from this perspective, the election of 2008 is about one
thing only: was Jesus the Messiah prophesied by the Scriptures or was
he an imposter?
By electing Obama President, the American people will decide that Jesus
was not the Messiah, but simply a man of God who in his own mind
fulfilled the Scriptures' prophesies and inspired a following that
today Americas must respect and allow to exist as one of the religions
of America. Christianity according to the Democrats is just another
religion. This perception appeals to American Jews and Muslims alike;
that's why many Jews support Obama – the Muslims, of course, support
Obama because his father was a Muslim. In fact, this perception of
religion appeals to all the religions that are part of the fabric of
American society. This is what democracy means to most Americans today;
the people will vote and the matter will be decided. This is what the
media thinks also. Therefore, nobody should mention anything about
Jesus in this election publicly. They can say whatever they want on
Youtube, but not on the FCC sanctioned television stations. The news
media must not mention the name of Jesus. In fact, the candidates must
not mention the name of Jesus, otherwise they won't be elected. But
Sarah Palin used to lead the prayer before every competitive basketball
game she played in high school. Well, that was alright then, but now
that she is running for Vice-President, she should not blow it by
mentioning the name of Jesus – God is alright, everybody is allowed to
say, “God bless America.” However, this must also come to an end,
because after all we have already adopted Thomas Jefferson's
recommendation that we should keep matters of State separate from
matters of Faith. In other words, we should be a secular society –
humanitarian in nature though, and we are, therefore, a secular
humanist society. The appeal of this formulation is that even atheists
and agnostics can be part of secular humanism, as humanism is based on
the notion that the human being is the arbiter of what is and is not,
what is right and what is not – everything according to a fair and
balanced assessment of the facts, based on observations, the scientific
method and the democratic process.
It is also a matter of historical record that after Jesus was crucified
by the Romans, a handful of Jewish Pharisees and High Priests went up
to Pilate and asked for guards to be placed at the tomb of Jesus.
Pilate said to them, “Why don't you post your own guards.” But they
persisted, because there was a conflict of interest, as the Disciples
were Jewish and they might tell another story. After Jesus was
resurrected, the Pharisees even bribed the Roman centurions who had
guarded the tomb of Jesus, so that they would lie and say that the
Disciples had stolen the body of Jesus and that Jesus hadn't risen from
the dead.
The New Testament Scriptures tell us in Matthew 28:15 how this lie was
propagated for years to come. In fact, to this day this lie is told.
However there are other issues that have risen since.
Six million Jews were killed by the Nazis during WW II. It is the
greatest atrocity perpetrated in modern times. It's so horrible that
there are no civilized words to describe it adequately. The genocide of
a huge portion of the Jewish people has caused such an aversion among
Americans for religious prejudice that they want to throw the baby with
the bathwater and proclaim all religious beliefs as outside the realm
of public concern; except for the protection of the right of
individuals to believe in whatever religion they deem fit, except
again, as long as the practice of that religion does not impinge on the
rights of others in their beliefs and the practice of their religion
– which is impossible in the case of the Islamic faith, because Islam
is based on eradicating all false religions. So we have a Catch-22
situation with Islam in America. But now we may have a solution to
that: Barack Hussein Obama, a Christian-Muslim, who also respects
Judaism. Senator Joe Lieberman is not convinced, but Senator Chuck
Schumer is.
Now, if only we Americans can accept the possibility that Jesus did not
rise from the dead literally but figuratively, we can put our religious
difference with the Jews aside and concentrate on our differences with
the Muslims. All Americans want is for us to live at peace. By electing
Senator Obama as President, the American people will forever put to
rest the question of whether or not Jesus was the prophesied Messiah of
the Scriptures. However, Senator Obama two nights ago joked in the
presence of Cardinal Egan that he (Obama) wasn't the Messiah, because
he wasn't born in a manger. The reference was to Obama's neighbor in
Chicago, the Nation of Islam minister Louis Farrakhan, who preaches to
his followers that Obama is the Messiah.
Jesus told us about false messiahs claiming to be him and false
prophets proclaiming themselves to be genuine, but he told us not to
believe in them. The only question left for the American people is:
will they continue to believe that Jesus is the true Messiah or will
they elect Barack Hussein Obama as their President and negate the fact
that America is Christianity's last refuge.
