RACE FOR POWER, OR, BEGINNING AN EXPOSITION OF REVELATION THIRTEEN (important study to copy and study) By Nyron Medina

My dear brethren, events are now operating in hiding that are to determine the final end of this earth’s history. It is ignorance of the holy scriptures that causes us not to discern the present events of the day; but as Sis. White says: “God’s people will see what is going on and they will spring into action at the right time.” In Heb. 4:12 we are told that the word of God has discerning power, so that if we have the word of God dwelling richly in us we shall be able to discern the times.

There is at present claims about a move to change the American Constitution, and many Christians not only do not understand the meaning of the terminologies used, but they are also deceived by the misleading expressions or explanations given about the political terms; and to add to there general ignorance, they look at Atheistic and Communists fronts such as the United Nations and various Non-Religious Groups in America that are working to establish a One World Communist Government with the aim to totally abolish all religions, and think that their innovations to change the U. S. Constitution means that they want to set up a Universal Sunday Law. How can this be?

The sum of all this is that these Christians know that something is going on, but they do not know exactly what it is, nor the role the present forces engaged in a life and death struggle are to play, or how a Sunday Law is to come about. Theological ignorance has fostered historical ignorance, thus these watchmen on the walls of Zion cannot read the signals to thus warn the people. What do the scriptures reveal? That there is to be a battle for world supremacy between the King of the North and the King of the South.

What are these powers? In Dan. 11:40 we are told that at the time of the end (in 1798) the King of the South pushes at the King of the North, and that the King of the North strikes back with fury, this striking back is explained in verses 40-45. A comparison between verses 5-8 will show that the King of the South is Egypt whose trademark is identified as Atheism (Ex. 5:2). So that the King of the South is godless Atheism represented by Communism in all its deceptive manifestations. The King of the North from Dan. 11:7-15 is the Selecuid Empire of the Antiochus line ruling in Syria and surrounding territories; and in verse 14; Rome is identified as rising. The struggle that ensures between Pagan Rome and Antiochus in verses 15,16 leaves Rome as the conqueror, thus becoming the new King of the North. In verses 28-39; a religious power is identified practicing many abominations, and it is identified in verses 40-45; as the King of the North. This obviously is Papal Rome or the Roman Catholic Papacy which succeeded and eventually swallowed up the Roman Empire with its doctrinal tenets. This is identified in Daniel Chapter eight. The Little Horn of verse nine (Vs. 9) is Pagan Rome and using verse ten (Vs. 10) as the transition point, it changes into the Papacy (or what is called Papal Rome) in verses eleven through thirteen (Vs. 11-13). Thus the King of the North is the Papacy.

So now we understand that the scriptures mark the events of the last days as a struggle between the Papacy and Communism for world dominion. But in the Book of Revelation John continues and completes where Daniel left off using extensive First Witness symbolic imagery. John brings two new powers into this struggle for world dominion, two which co-operates with the King of the North. Let us look at Revelation chapter thirteen (Rev. 13).

In verse 1 and 2 we read of the same King of the North or Papacy. Uniting the characteristics of the past pagan Empires of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome and the Ten Barbarian Nations into her general character and disposition, the Papacy is given Ecclesiastical Authority over the nations (in 538 A.C.B.) by the rapidly deteriorating remnants of the Pagan Roman Empire in the east.

This Papal Power is identified as suffering a “deadly wound” which was healed in verse three (Vs. 3). What is this wound? And how long does it last for? An analysis of verse four (Vs. 4) will show that the wound was one of losing Ecclesiastical Authority over the nations which it held for 1,260 years according to Rev. 13:5. Since this authority was given to the Papacy in 538 A.C.B., checking 1,260 years that date would cause us to arrive at the year 1798 A.C.B., when the French army controlled by Napoleon who was put in power and financed by Jewish Atheism, abolished the Papacy and took the Pope prisoner. It is this that is identified as the King of the South pushing at the King of the North at the time of the end in Dan. 11:40; thus the time of the end began in 1798. (This same forces of Atheism is identified as a beast ascending out of the bottomless pit warring against the scriptures, shaking France like an earthquake and turning it into a state of Sodomy and Atheism, in Rev. 11:7-14; this is the Second Woe to strike the earth (Vs. 14); the First Woe being Islam).

The First new power John identifies coming into fray is the Lamblike Beast of Rev. 13:11. “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horn like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.” What is this power? It comes into world prominence after the wounding of the Papacy in 1798; because it is said to “exerciseth all the power of the first beast (the papacy: Rev. 13:1-3); before him,… whose deadly wound was healed.” Rev. 13:12; it also come “...up out of the earth…” and also has “two horns like a lamb…” Vs. 11.

It is only the United States of America that fits that description. Gaining her independence in 1776 from the British who colonized the North American continent, in 1798, the exact year the Papacy was wounded, she was accepted into the sisterhood of nations. While previous powers are represented as arising “...up out of the sea…” Rev. 13:1; (See also Dan. 7:3); and the sea represents “...peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” Rev. 17:15; (See also Isa. 57:20); so that the previous powers arise out of a territory already populated as a nation or nations, this Lamblike Beast rises up out of the earth.

This means that it must not be a new nation formed out of an old one already existing in the same territory, no, it must grow up into greatness and world prominence in a new and isolated territory. The same is true of America. America grew up to greatness in the North American Continent which was originally scarcely populated with Phoenician descendants. Another characteristic of this Beast is that it had two horns like a lamb. What is the Nation of America noted for? Its Constitution boasts a form of Government called Republicanism and a religion called Protestantism. In order to understand the importance of these traits, it must be understood why the horns of the Beast are described as being lamblike. We are told that Christ is the Lamb of God (n. 1:29; Rev. 5:12,13); He is the “...Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Rev. 13:8; hence the twin traits of Republicanism and Protestantism must be lamblike, or be fruits of Christ’s doctrine. And so it was with Republicanism. This form of Government promulgated by America emphasized ‘Self Government’; it was a system where the leaders were to have as little as possible interference in the Religious, Economic and Social existence of the people, and they were to administer the Laws to ensure the protection of these Rights. This is the form of Government held by the Ancient Nation of Israel before they called for a king. That this form of politics is from the doctrine of Christ is seen by the fact that Christians do not need to be governed by secular laws to ensure their behaviour, because Christ in the heart makes a man morally upright. There are numerous instances in the Bible where God calls upon the Jews to flee materialism oppression of their fellowmen, fraud, dishonesty and immorality, and these are due to the presence of the carnal mind which is not subject to the Law of God, and to the absence of the experience of the inchristment. So then the true Christian, under the control of the Spirit is self governed, this is what was expected of Israel in the days they were established before they had a king and this is the essence of Republicanism.

Under such a form of Government man’s Three Fundamental Rights are recognized. These are the Right to Worship God according to the dictates of your conscience (the Right of Prevenient Grace), the Right of Private Property (the Right of Individual Stewardship), and the Right to Exist (the Right to Experience Love).

Truly, it is these Three Rights that are the foundation of American Republicanism and are enshrined in its Constitution. Can anyone doubt that this form of Government is the fruit of the Gospel? It is not true that no one should obstruct the work of the Holy Spirit on a man’s heart? Did not Christ rebuke the religious leaders of Judah for abridging this Right? How about the Right of Personal Stewardship? Does it not foster the growth in skill and administration and Christ like Graces when prosecuted through synergism? And are there not many examples of God entrusting goods to individuals and justifying or condemning them on the basis of their faithfulness or unfaithfulness? And certainly, if any man had the right to kill any man according to his whims or fancies, what a barbaric and unsafe world this would be; peace, security and happiness would be forever banished from it and the human race would become well neigh extinct. This is why God instituted Civil Laws to deal with murder after the Flood and in Ancient Israel. Truly, the Republican Government value is a fruit of the doctrine of Christ, for it is truly logical and scientific that God must freely Convict and Govern His intelligent creation into his glory, and He must afford their development of skills and character, and He created them because He wants them to continue to exist to glorify His Name; if God be God then this must be His code of action for His very God-ship is hinged upon this relationship to His creatures.

Now one can clearly see that Protestantism is Christ like. Christ was a Protestant because He protested the abuses of His day, and the men that fled to the shores of the New World sought to escape the persecution of Papal intolerance, for all that lived godly in Christ Jesus suffered persecution. The clause of Religious Liberty enshrined in the U.S. Constitution reveals that the nation is Protestant. Because this clause was an effort to escape Religious Persecution, this showed that they experienced persecution which was because they lived godly.

When a people live in evil, and a man arises protesting against this darkness, the light of Christ in Him exposes the darkness of his adversaries. They suffer because their sins are revealed and as this suffering is impossible to bear, they either repent, believe and confess for justification to receive peace or they slay Christ who is the light to get fid of Him. But as Christ is in the man who is protesting the evils of his day as a righteous knowledge, the lovers of darkness cannot tear Him down, so they seek to destroy the agent through whom Christ is revealed in a effort to shut out the light, so is fulfilled the saying that Christ is persecuted in the persons of His followers.

Christ informed His servants to flee to another place when they are persecuted in one place, and in harmony with this injunction the persecuted of Europe fled to the New World which God opened before them; and to ensure that the spirit of protest would not be extinguished by the spirit of intolerance, they established a Government with a Constitution that secured Religious Liberty. So it is that Religious Liberty is a guard of Protestantism, thus the Constitution of America, by this clause, reveals that the nation is Protestant, and that this is the natural work of the holy and pure Character of Christ. The teachings of Christ, by the very fact that it professes holy living in a world of sin, is in itself a protest against sin; where the anti-thesis is the spirit of attraction, the synthesis, seeking for mass establishment, is a protest.

All this shows that the nation arising in Rev. 13:11 was indeed the United States of America, its two lamblike horns were a Political and Religious emphasis that came from Christ.

Now the sum of these things which we have just read is that there are four potent forces in the world today struggling in such a position as to gain world dominion, they are: Communism, the Roman Catholic Papacy, America and Protestantism which has now become apostate. These four powers make the present history of this world. The final world crisis is to be precipitated by America through the change of its Constitution leading the way, because God revealed that he (America) will speak “...as a dragon.” Rev. 13:11; and the dragon is “...that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan…” Rev. 20:2.

We may look at the fact that America is so far from Trinidad and Tobago or other nations of the world and by this we may wonder what does the change in the U.S. Constitution, if carried out, have to do with us or other nations. We may smirk at the fact that while religious intolerance may gain a foothold in the U.S., that we in our little republic, or say maybe the Parliamentary Democracy of Barbados or Grenada, or the Social-Democracy system of East Germany or Kampuchea may never resort to these crimes of a changed America. But if the world has a system of Republicanism and Protestantism in its midst today and influencing the nations, it has been made more safe in these last days, thanks to God working through Protestantism to break the influence of Papalism which had sought to undo the influence of Christ from upon the earth which was to change the influence of Nimrod (the false priest-king) that had so long held sway upon the earth from the time of the Tower of Babel way down to the institution of the American Republic.

America has been a blessing to the nations, a unique contribution to humanity and the check against many evils that would have blotted out Christ from the earth and banished security and happiness. One cannot conceive by the stretch of the imagination what a staying influence against evil the American system has had upon the face of this earth; nations, while not copying the exact processes of its executive system have at least copied its constitution in the granting of the right of free worship, private property and existence, even in old Europe and the Middle East where despotism held sway for thousands of years. So to abolish the American restraining influence is to cause the world to take example and return to a reign of dark ages, but on a global scale, especially if America establishes a despotic system and exploits its social, political and primarily economic ties with the nations of the earth, or if some form of interdependence is instituted.

The change of the U.S. Constitution does have heavy implications for us and all the nations of the earth, especially since the time of the end came in 1798, when an evil power the Illuminati, combining all the evil characteristics the Jews developed by the rejection of Christ for more than a thousand years (which were expressed in the teachings of the Talmud), let loose the Forces of Atheism or Communism into the world; and the teachings which led to the French Revolutions has been spreading all over the world multiplying organizations by the thousands, dividing and demoralizing the teeming millions of the earth, and tending to abolish man’s Three God-Endowed Fundamental Rights, and to convulse the world into a grand crisis and reign of terror such as convened in France during the French Revolution, and every other revolution ignited since that time to the present.

In the struggle for power between the King of the North (The Papacy) and the King of the South (Communism) the Apostate Protestant church jumps into the fray on the side of the Papacy, because its existence is also threatened as that of the Roman Catholic Church. Since 1798 the Forces of Atheism in both its revolutionary method and gradualistic (Fabian) method has so tremendously increased in power as to almost engulf and destroy all religion, so now in a desperate fight for existence, the Protestants have joined up with the Catholics with whom they were once at enmity. What did the scriptures say about America? “he spake as a dragon.” Rev. 13:11. How will this nation speak like Satan? “...he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.” Rev. 13:12.

Here is clear indication that America will cause the earth to glorify or exalt the Papal system as idealistic and as the dissoluter of the problems of the earth. But how can that happen when the very constitution of America speaks against the Papacy and denounces it as false, hypocritical and tyrannical?

Obviously a change in the U.S. Constitution must occur, but to change it, an influence mighty enough to encourage this change must take place. What saith the scriptures?

“And he (the religious horn, Protestantism) doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast…” Rev. 13:13,14. A powerful force called Spiritualism have been at work in these Apostate Protestant religion since 1844, and has been responsible for the miracles, phenomena’s and speaking in tongues that has been occurring in their midst; and through this wonder working power repeating the miracles of Elijah in 1 Kings chapter eighteen (1 Kin. 18), and other miracles, the Protestants will seek to influence the law making body of the U.S. government to institute a system that is like the Papacy, thus it is said: “...saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” Rev. 13:14. What is this Beast? It is the Papacy, the Roman Catholic Hierarchical Church Government, a false religion that has been legislated in the past. So the Apostate Protestants calls for the establishment of legislation of a false religion similar to the Catholics, in America and in the whole world. The Protestants are at this very moment beginning to call for the legislation of a false religion in America and will soon call for it on a global scale.

The scriptures continue: “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Rev. 13:15. This text is very significant, because it does not claim that the Protestants cause the image of the beast to both speak and cause, it is the legislative power of America that gives life to the image of the beast or legislates the Protestant false religion which is like unto Catholicism, and makes the system actually work. It is not Protestantism that is calling for the change of the U.S. Constitution, it is the forces of atheism. What do they want? They want to form a One World Communist Government to place all the wealth and labour power into the hands of a few International Jewish Bankers who are responsible for financing Communism. So while the Protestants are calling for legislation of a false religion (which to them is the truth), and with the intention of forcing people to go back to church (by a Sunday Blue Law) that they would be ‘converted’ escape influence of creeping Communism (called Socialism by political deceivers), and for the bringing in of the long-expected millennium, the intention of the forces of atheism that are using the U.S. State Department in a large way is to abolish the U.S. Constitution and to bring in a type of Government called Democratic Socialism which would be communizing America to prepare it for a merger with the Soviet Union, and the ushering in of a One World Government, a situation that would place the wealth and labour power of the world into the hands of a few super-rich Jewish International Bankers; they are also seeking to abolish the American Declaration of Independence and to declare ‘interdependence’ a ploy that legalizes the merging of the U.S.A. into a One World System. The Catholics and Protestants see this crisis coming, and they recognize that their existence is in the balance, so they are fighting to save themselves. Together with dependence on spiritualism (the deceptive miracle working power of Satan and his evil angels), they have united to oppose the Forces of Atheism (the King of the South) and hope to bring in the millennium before they are forever destroyed. As the Protestants pushed by the Catholics are calling for the legislation of religion, they will not mind that the Constitution is changed, for they hope to seize power and use the change to their benefit.

What is their plan? They plan to ‘baptize’ millions of Americans, take over the Republican Party, and put a candidate (perhaps Pat Robertson) in office, this is why men like Jimmy Swaggart are holding gigantic crusades and are ‘converting’ thousands every day and week. The aim of the forces of atheism is to abolish all religion, thus they want a Constitution by which they can covertly work to do this and the aim of Protestants (back by the Catholics) is to defeat Communism and save themselves, so thus they want a constitution to achieve their aims.

But what is the most suited form of Government to suit this composite and counter aims? This is clearly identified in the Bible chapter under consideration; said the scriptures: “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bound, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads; and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Rev. 13:15-17.

As the “worship” of “the image of the beast” is enforced, this means that the Constitutional guarantee of the right to worship God according to the dictates of one’s conscience, must be abolished; the fact that for this if one disobeys he “should be killed’ means that one’s Right to Exist is to be abolished, and thirdly, that fact that no man “might buy or sell” if he disagrees, means that the Right of Private Property must be taken away.

Whenever a state grants this to its citizens selectively, on the basis of obedience to its dictums, it means that these Three Rights are not recognized as natural, or as God endowed, they recognized as a benefit granted by the state, and as the ‘State’ is ruled by a few men, then these men, professing to grant these benefits, make themselves God. To be denied these Three God Endowed Rights by man as a penalty for disobedience to man’s commandments id to loose them from the State or have them abolished, and the facts are, that this is exactly what the forces of atheism are seeking to achieve to destroy all Religion, and all Private Property that men might be kept under the dominion of a few despots.

While the abolishment of these Three Rights are some of the aims of Communism, The Protestants will find them appropriate to deal with Communism, and this is what the scriptures point out. If one’s Religious Rights are abolished, then he will have to obey the State Religion that is enforced, and he could lose Private Property or his Existence if he does not concede, thus it is that Protestantism will seek to hold in check and perhaps destroy (if they could) the Forces of Atheism.

Now the Constitution of America guarantees these Three Fundamental, God Endowed Rights, so to execute their plans, both the Communists and Protestants would want the Constitution abolished and are seeking for such, but it is the Forces of Atheism that are in the forefront pushing and implementing moves for a Constitutional Convention to accomplish this change.

To abolish the Constitutional is to abolish Republicanism and true Protestantism, it is to abolish man’s Three Fundamental Rights; and the form of Government that will be established according to the aims of the Forces of Atheism will be something called Democratic Socialism (like East Germany) a covert term for Communism.

What is Democratic Socialism? While the term identifies a Government of the people with the people having limited influence upon the Government, this is not what we are to look at. We are to look at the horrible fact that inherent in this system are principles potent to abolish man’s Three Fundamental Rights.

The name Democratic Socialism is a cover for Communism in a subtle and gradual form, it is a Government of man who has been destroyed like the Talmudic Jews through the rejection of every Christian graces for thousands of years.

Under a Republican Government a human being has self government, and with true Protestantism which is the religion of Christ, if he is converted, he would glorify God in his conduct, for it is God who makes him obey His Law and be an upright citizen. To therefore abolish this system is to divorce the nation from connection with God, and to institute any other system, especially Democratic Socialism is to substitute corrupted man in the place of God.

To further illustrate this, one must understand that to abolish the religion of Christ (hinder the work of Prevenient Grace) which is true Protestantism, is to destroy conversion thus self government from the Spirit, and to institute Democratic Socialism is to place corrupt man in control of the minds of his fellowmen. Not only could the Forces of Atheism use this situation to set up a despotic World Dictatorship on an atheistic basis, but Apostate Protestantism pushed by the Catholics could use this type of Government to force obedience to the tenets of their religion especially a Sunday Law, and so they will seize this opportunity of the Constitutional change though it be Communistic to achieve their unholy ambitions, this is represented as a woman, a harlot, who has daughters, setting upon a scarlet coloured beast full of the names of blaspheme. The harlot and her daughters are the Catholics and Protestants and the scarlet coloured beast is Communism, see Rev. 17:3,5.

Does the scriptures tell us that there will be a Constitutional change? Yes it does. It says: “And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause…” Rev. 13:15. The legislative wing of the U.S. Government “had power” to give life to the image of the beast system, it was able to implement a false religion by law and cause it to work to enforce a false religion, which is taking away Religious Liberty, to seize Private Property or execute people to compel obedience. To do this the Republican and Protestant Constitution must be destroyed by legislation (changing the Constitution), so the ‘power’ to give life to the image of the beast system or to make it legally operable is the ‘Governmental Authority’ to do so, and this can be only accomplished by a change in the U.S. Constitution. By the legislative wing of the U.S. Government the Constitution will be changed implementing a Democratic Socialism form of Government (a covert form of Communism) that abolishes man’s Three Fundamental, God Endowed Rights in its inherent principles, and this, being done by the Forces of Atheism, aims to Communize America, merge it with the Soviet Union and destroy all religion which is seen as an opposition to their plans. But this ploy serves the Protestants well, who seizes this form of Government to enforce a false religion in an attempt to stop the Communists and to convert the world and usher in the long expected millennium. So by the change of the Constitution to be prosecuted by the Forces of Atheism, they will ‘give life’ or Governmental Authority to the Apostate Protestants to enforce a false religion — a religion of a lawless hypocrite — by the institution of a symbolic Sunday Law, although this is not their true intention.

Not only will the Protestants pull a ‘coup detat’ on the Communists in America by coming into power, but they will successfully influence the whole world by means of the trade, economic, monetary and political ties America has forged with the world through the policies of interdependence being struggled for by the Forces of Atheism. The current delicate struggle between the Forces of False Religion and Communism will see the Protestants, pushed from behind by the Catholics successful in enforcing the mark of the beast, then the final test for man shall be in progress that all may decide if they shall serve God or if they shall serve Him not (see Rev. 14:9-12).

As this full influence of Nimrod which is a fusation of Democratic Socialism (Communism) and Papalism is once more the ruling tenet of the globe, a powerful force will be born sway to shut out forever Prevenient Grace from the hearts of millions, thus make them forefeit their opportunity for the First and Second work of Justification. We must not be mistaken to think that this whole matter can be easily understood by the unenlightened mind, for it is a clear and precise understanding of the principles of the gospel of the Whole, Great, Grand Atonement that shall qualify one to understand the theological basis of the whole issue, thus the perversion of the theology that causes these Apostate Structures.

Christ is the true Priest-King and from His priesthood comes the true religion-the religion of genuine Protestantism, while from His kingship (in connection with His priesthood) comes true government, which is self government or Republicanism. Put them both together and you shall get Protestantism and Republicanism, which, with certain executive and legislative powers, constitute a Contingency State, which is one in which the true Church and State has various spheres of influence which co-mingle in certain areas; so it was in Ancient Israel in the time of the Judges before Israel wanted a king like the Gentile Nations around them.

When they wanted a king like the other Nations, God called upon Samuel the prophet to Protest (Protestantism) and show them why it was not good to have a king. The whole account is given in 1 Sam. 8:1-18 where God showed to them that a kingship of man, (what is called a monarchy), is Communistic in its tendencies, and houses the subtle principles that abolishes religion (“… for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.”); it abolishes one’s Right to Exist (“… he will take your sons…”); and one’s Right of Private Property (“… he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards…). One cannot deny that this is exactly what happened in the days of King Ahab, for in 1 Kin. 18:4,13; Religious Liberty is abolished, in 1 Kin. 19:2; the Right to Exist is also abolished, and in 1 Kin. 21:1-16; the Right of Private Property is also abolished, principles that exactly constitute Communism, since it is this same Jewish spirit of rejecting God for many, many hundreds of years that demanded the crucifixion of Christ in the Pharisees, hunted the disciples down and slaying them through influencing the Roman leaders, that was transferred into the teaching of the Jewish Talmud during the Middle Ages, disrupted the kingdoms of Europe and was transferred into the Philosophies of Nihillism, Anarchism, Dialectical and historical materialism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries through men like Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Adam Wieshaupt, and Karl Marx and Fredrich Engles-all Jews.

Now only has this apostate Jewish spirit of skepticism, infidelity, atheism, materialism and revolution caused the French Revolution and the temporary abolition of the Papacy (its wounding) in 1798, but it has through secret societies and other various organizations posing as helps to humanity, caused every uprising and almost every war upon the earth in the last three centuries, including two World Wars. It is this same spirit that has been translated into various economic, trade and political theories of today propagated by various Universities and institutions and that is causing the present unstable crisis and moral deterioration of the world. The Trilateral Commission and Council for Foreign Relations that is today pushing for Constitutional reform in America and for interdependence are some modern results of this same spirit. When Israel was given a king, it became a Democratic Socialist State (for this was a Government of the people, 1 Sam. 8:4, 5,19,20); and as it is against the true religion of Christ a struggle ensued between the kings of Israel and God. Whenever the king subjected himself to God his position became a mere figurehead and Israel served the true God; but when the king rebelled, the principles of Democratic Socialism which are that of the carnal mind developed by the man’s rejection of Grace were rampart in the Nation and Israel turned from God to worship gods and goddesses and stocks and stones. The scripture is ripe with these accounts.

So it is with the earth today. The present rebellion of man is the expression of the carnal mind, and the attempt to reform the U.S. Constitution by the Forces of Atheism is the God—hating spirit of apostate Jews against a true symbol of the most perfect form of Government on a sinful world ordained of God, and the true religion of Christ. The Protestants who are struggling for unholy and unsanctified power show their hypocrisy of seeking to use government which they are supposed to be against, to achieve their human ends, and this is a clear testimony to us that whether it be Communism, Catholicism or Protestantism, all have the voice of the dragon.

God’s people should learn from this, that “… Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” Rev. 18:2; we are to “… come out of her… that (we)… be not partakers of her sins…” Vs. 4; for a fall from grace can never cause one to keep God’s Commandments, since we are saved “… by grace…” Eph. 2:5; and the saints are “… they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Rev. 14:12.

This present terminal issue brings before us how God has worked in the history of the earth as we view the whole stream in the light of the Gospel, and we now know just where we should fit to fulfill holy history and pass the test and have all our past sins blotted out. The horrible thing about ignorance is the perplexity like suffering one has to go through as the events fulfill and one is like shifting sand being blown and tossed by every wind of events. Jesus, our Saviour never meant that intelligent human beings be “… like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt…” for “… there is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.” Isa. 57:20,21; He meant that we should have stability, and this is surely guaranteed to us if we follow our Lord of prophecy because, “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.” 2 Pet. 1:19. In the present coming crisis the real point of contention which we should emphasize is that it is a false religion that is being legislated causing men to commit the unpardonable sin, because any religion that is not truly scientific, that is not redemptive and does not transform the soul is not of our living working Creator whose sign is the Sabbath, therefore it cannot facilitate sanctification and the absolving of our multitudes of past sins. Of this religion we say “We don’t want it, we would rather stand on the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus, and may God help us.” Amen.

THE END
