Truth Part 2
Truth
In Our Country (
God’s Word is truth
Not that which we want to be the truth
Nor that which we think our God is telling
us
Nor that which we try to remember in
Scripture
Nor that what our human minds rationalize
to be the truth
And certainly not that which the world
deems to be the truth
Nor that which our worldly leaders tell us
is the truth
The Spirit alone shows us the
truth
By opening our eyes as we read God’s Word
To show us how our God would have us live
By continually revealing new truths as we
study Scripture
Showing what our God has planned for us,
wants us to do
By writing the truth in our hearts
That eternal life comes through faith in
Jesus Christ
Lies will rule the World in end times
Many polls show an extremely high percentage of our nation
believes in God, in a Heaven or Hell. Therefore the surprising election of
leaders who hold anti-Christian views brings forth three possibilities:
1. There are not that many claiming to believe in God
who really know the true God, who really believe Scriptural truths, who put
spiritual truths above their worldly physical desires.
2. There were some Christians who were merely fooled in
the last elections, will wake up and vote for our Christian values in the next
election. Yet by that time there may be enough votes to offset theirs through
immigration reform and other means.
3. The end is getting closer, the Spirit is being
taken away from all who have not accepted their Savior. Satan is starting to
implement his plan, take over, deceiving all who are not truly committed to
their Lord.
The chances are
not great that we will become a great Christian nation once again. But that
only brings the good news that we are closer to the time when our Savior will
return for us. Our God near the end will cause all who still do not believe in Him to be deceived by the lies of
Satan. He will allow Satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet to rule the
world for a short time through the deception of their lies, the miracles they
will do. All governments and their leaders will hate our Lord, turn against
*For this reason God sends them a powerful
delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be
condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
2Thess 2:11-12 +NIV
All lies are evil, we must not follow them:
All lies come from
Satan, and there is nothing good that comes out of any lie. No matter what the
lie is about, no matter where the lie is told, no matter whether it is
considered a big or small lie, all lies are evil, are sin. No matter who is
telling the lie, whether prominent leaders, the world media, rich people, poor
people, Christians, nonbelievers, our enemies, our friends, even when we lie to
ourselves. Lies are wrong, are evil, and should not be followed. If we continue
to lie, we soon begin living a lie. If we follow lies, evil has found a home
within us. All that comes out of a lie is alienation from God. All a lie does
is offer Satan another chance to capture a soul.
*But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and
abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in
the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which
is the second death. Rev 21:8 ASV
We must resist the lies of ambiguity:
The toughest lies
to resist, the easiest lie to fall for, are lies that have some truth in them.
Yet anything that contains even the smallest lie within it, is still a lie. We
must always remove anything that is not true before a concept is accepted,
before we can answer a question correctly. When statements, assumptions are
repeated over and over, especially by important people and celebrities, they
soon become accepted as truth. Even though the facts have not been verified to
see if they are correct, and often they turn out to be lies that many have
accepted as the truth.
We are like sheep,
following whatever is in front of us, accepting that which we constantly hear,
without ever searching to see if it is true. We cannot live a life of
ambiguity, the Lord and Satan, truths and lies can not both live in our hearts,
rule our lives. Too many are riding the fence, they believe they are
Christians, yet they circumvent God’s truths and follow worldly falsehoods.
Sometimes intentionally, sometimes because they are too lazy or unwilling to
validate what the truth really is, accepting what others say. We either are for
Jesus or against Jesus, there is no middle ground.
Our Lord:
Would not have us do anything, be a part of anything that is dishonest.
In everything we do, in everything we say.
Would not have us compromise on even the smallest lie, though it might
cause us embarrassment, loss of status or money, even the loss of our life.
Would not have us be members of any group (religious, social,
political, workplace, movement, or any other) which follows, tells, or is part
of any lies.
*I know thy works, that thou art neither
cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew
thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am
rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest
not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest
become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest
clothe thyself, and that the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes,
that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I reprove
and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Rev 3:15-19
ASV
The liberal elite will use lies to silence
God’s truths:
A liberal magazine
stated God was dead in the 1960s as
But our God is the
beginning and end, always has been, always will be. Our nation became great
because it respected our Lord, followed His moral commands, and allowed all to
have individual freedoms. The freedom to put our God first, our nation second,
and limited the government so it could not take our basic rights away from us.
Yet we must realize
this nation will not be a Christian nation when the events leading to the end
times begin. We must be locked into God truths to survive, to remain children
of God. We must continue to love our Savior above all things, be patient, until
Jesus takes us home, or returns once more in all of His glory for us.
We should not be
deceived by the liberal elite’s:
Lies that the liberal elite have more wisdom, can offer better
solutions for our problems than our Lord’s truths. Lies that Christian values
merely hold back our nation’s ability to be sophisticated like
Lies that the
Lies of bias against our Christian beliefs. Declaring any who
oppose abortion, write about the end times, or have these values on bumper
stickers, should be considered extremists, terrorist threats, by the Department
of Homeland Security, by their warnings given to all law enforcement agencies.
While Muslim groups who hate us, would bomb us, are not supposed to be
designated as terrorists.
Trying to push Christianity from having any place in the
government, no matter how small, nor traditional, or insignificant.
Making rules which would not allow Christians to use
government buildings for activities as other groups are permitted to do.
Trying to control education by not allowing student vouchers
which let parents choose the school they want their children to attend, by
rewriting school books to reflect their liberal views. By enticing schools to
take federal grant money with restrictions added on that advance their
philosophy.
Leaders’ lies that the government can best help the
needy. An inefficient government whose welfare program gives the needy only 30
cents out of every dollar allocated to those who need help. The other 70 cents
just greases the large greedy government machine, finances its power base.
Charities are able to give 80 to 90 cents of every dollar to the needy, 50-60%
more than the government. Yet some of our newly elected leaders want to raise
taxes on charitable donations, reducing their ability to help the needy.
Allowing the inefficient government to have more to give to the poor, giving
the liberal elite more influence over them, more votes to keep them in
power.
*Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's
wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. Eph 5:6-7
+NIV
We will face continuous lies:
We must honor our
leaders, pray that they will lead Christian lives and use Christian values to
guide those they are leading. Yet we must be prepared for the silvery
falsehoods and deceptions that Satan will put all around us, on our leaders’
tongues. The dynamic personalities that will deceive those listening into
hearing exactly what they want to hear, the lies in their promises that will
give each exactly what they want. The use of a biased liberal media with giddy
feelings running up their legs to tell and spin the liberal leaders lies. A
liberal elite media more worried about being relevant, than telling the truth,
for surely no one can rule with out their approval. A media with a vested
interest in trying to make a fantasy they created become real, exist in the
minds of the masses. A fantasy of a new day Camelot which will save us, end all
of our problems. But we should never trust, make a deal with any who lie. We
must search out what we hear in this secular world, see if it is accurate, see
if it follows God’s Word.
Some of the lies:
Leaders’ lies to end earmarks, stop excess spending in
bills. The lie that all legislation would be available for people to read on
the internet a week before it is voted on. Lies from leaders who tell us they
know what is in legislation when they have not even read it. Lies of omission
when we are not even told all that is in legislation to be voted on, lies about
who wrote hidden items in the bills.
Not telling us how a large amount of money, over $700
billion was spent, the giving of billions to mismanaged companies.
Leader’s lie that they would established integrity in the administration. Then appointing many
who have cheated on their taxes, allowing them to run government agencies,
enforce laws on us, which they did not follow.
Leader’s lie that no lobbyists would be put into the
administration, yet many lobbyists have been appointed.
Leader’s lie that they would unite our nation, yet our
leader’s lies are merely polarizing our nation, dividing us into groups.
Media lies on their own, in conjunction with the
liberal elite leaders to promote the liberal agenda, regardless of the
truth.
There will be so many more lies, for the liberal elite believe there is
nothing wrong with lies, as long as they aid their philosophy. Lies are a means
to promote their agenda, what the majority of people want to hear. Then more
lies will have to be created to cover up all the lies which have already been
made.
*Arrogant lips are unsuited to a fool - how
much worse lying lips to a
ruler! Pr 17:7 +NIV
*The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful Pr 12:22 +NIV
Lies of humanism will introduce socialism:
Christianity
cannot and should not be forced on anyone, one freely has to accept our God.
But we flourished under a capitalistic government with Christian morals. We do
not need to be reinvented, but go back to our conservative values, our
Christian morals which made this nation great. Humanism is a false God, based
on the lie that the liberal elite alone possess the intelligence to make our
nation, the world a more equitable place to live. Humanism embraces socialism
as a way for a few, the liberal elite, to rule, gain power, and control our
nation. Socialism has flexible morals that adjust to anything which will endear
our elite leaders to the masses. Whatever is needed, the end being more
important than the means. Yet our liberal elite leaders will exempt themselves
from the rules, values they put on others, for they deserve more, the good life
for their empirical wisdom.
Our new liberal
leaders will redistribute the wealth in our country as they see fit. They will
steal from one to give to another, often their supporters who will keep them in
power. They will support the unions with laws that financially help them grow
in exchange their political help, contributions, and votes. They will appoint
only liberal Supreme Court justices who will use their experiences, what is in
their hearts to make decisions, not what is in the Constitution. Justices who
will legislate new laws instead of Congress, making
laws without voter recourse, ending the democratic republic rule. Our new
liberal leaders will mandate entitlement programs that our nation cannot
afford, driving us deeper in debt. This includes a new government run health
care system which will cost too much, be inefficient like all government run
programs, and destroy our private medical system, which is the best in the
world. Our liberal elite leaders want to create a world government, want to
lead our nation into it. A world government to rule over all nations, all
people. Govern the economies of all countries, have a one world bank.
As socialism, trust in human intelligence increases,
trust in God decreases. No socialistic country has ever continued to be a
Christian nation. We are being transformed into a socialistic non-Christian
nation by our new leaders.
Capitalism though it is far from perfect, allowed even our
poor to be in the 90% of the richest people in the world. Gave us the freedom
to put our God first in our lives, blessed us with abundance, allowed us to be
a generous people who helped take care of, feed, and free, the rest of the
world.
There will be three types of governments in the end times.
Socialism will begin bringing the world under a central control. Monarchy will
come as the antichrist begins to control and rule all. Theocracy will rule at the
end of the world as the antichrist will proclaim to be and rule as God.
*Take
heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you
through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after
the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
The lies of greed will trap us:
Our Creator would
have no class warfare or envy. He would have the rich and poor treated with the
same respect and the same rights. The rich should help the poor, and the poor
should not be envious or covet what the rich have. The rich people will always
have the hardest struggle to come into the
Our nation went on
a spending spree, spending beyond our capabilities. Companies were allowed to
get too large, have too much debt with out being regulated. People wanted too
much, spent too much and then were not able or willing to pay their debts. Our
greed, our excesses started a world wide recession. Then our newly elected
liberal leaders went on by far the largest spending spree in world history,
tripling the debt of our nation. Forcing the following generations to try and
pay back a debt which may be impossible for them to do. The liberal elite will
use this world recession, the debts of all nations as pretext to begin creating
a united economy, a world bank, and a world currency, which have never existed
before. The one who controls the world’s credit will control the world. The one
who will control the world’s economies and therefore the world in the end times
will be the antichrist. He will force people to bow down to him as their God,
put his mark on their bodies, to be able to buy or sell in the world.
It will seem
rational to take a mark so worldly transactions can be made faster, more
efficient, so one can survive, be part of the business and social world. It may
not seem that important, just a formality to bow before a powerful leader even
if he claims to be god. Yet no one who bows to another god, who carries the
mark of the beast, will ever have any part of the
*And he causeth
all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the
bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their
forehead; and that no man should be able
to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast
or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him
count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is
Six hundred and sixty and six. Rev 13:16-18 ASV
*And another angel, a third, followed them,
saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast
and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead,
or upon his hand, he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which
is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with
fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of
the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment goeth up for
ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast
and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his
name. Rev 13:9-11 ASV
Lies of environmentalism will control us:
The most valuable
item our Heavenly Father created was the soul and body of each individual. They
were so valuable that Christ died for them. Our Creator gave us the
responsibility of managing this earth efficiently, giving us everything on or
in the earth to supply our daily needs, to help feed and care for all people in
the world. We should never put anything, mother earth, global warming, the
natural beauty of this world, animal rights above the needs of any person’s
needs to survive, of making their sustenance easier.
Liberal
environmental groups have a reversed order, looking first to mother earth as the
reason for their existence, their sustenance, creating and maintaining a
pristine world as their god. They are passionate people looking for a reason, a
cause to make their lives relevant, letting their emotions drag them into a
fantasy world of lies. A world of false exaggeration as they worry about all
the extreme disasters that can happen to the world, if they don’t take care of
it. The liberal elite believe in these lies, but more important finds these
beliefs effective in implementing environmental policies which can control what
we can do. They will make laws which will control our energy supply, therefore
controlling our economy, which will push our nation under their socialistic
rule.
Believers know
that God is in control, that we should follow His truths, look to Him for
answers. There will be catastrophes our Heavenly Father will bring upon the
world because of its evil, you can read about them in the Bible. Yet He has
promised never to flood the whole earth again, He will not destroy the world until
Jesus returns, and the whole world will know when that happens.
Our liberal elite
leaders:
Will not use our natural resources wisely, the large sufficient
supplies of oil, gas and mineral resources God has given us to prosper, help others.
Our liberal leaders will create laws which will require the use of alternate
energy, which they have a monetary interest in. Alternative energy will take
time and money to develop, to be financially viable. In the interim, alternate
energy will cost more, give us less energy, hurt our economy, food costs will
be higher, many will die in poorer countries. The liberal elite are more
concerned about the power they can obtain by controlling energy, about keeping
the earth pristine, then the love needed to provide inexpensive food to all of
God’s children.
Will promote the falsehood
that the liberal elite can control global warming, the lie there is a man made
global warming threat. The world has actually cooled the last 10 years, some
are even calling for a continuing cooling trend. The world has been hotter than
it is now, has been cooler than it has now, it is not controlled by our carbon
footprint. People have but a miniscule effect on global temperature, a volcano
has a major effect on global temperature, and many have been erupting. Yet we
have no way to control a volcano, only God does. The liberal elite want us to
fear global warming, will turn it into a crisis by lies, to gain more control
over energy, giving them more power, though it hurts our country, all people.
Will continue to promote environmental protection laws of
inconsequential endangered species. These laws steal private property rights,
and control public land oil, gas and minerals development. Environmental laws
that lie about the relevance, the correct way to balance species, while not
telling the truth how about how development actually helps wildlife increase.
That stop us from using that which our Creator has given us to use.
Will continue to support liberal environmental group’s
lies, because they are part of our liberal leaders’ electoral base. Lies that
are keeping us from drilling for oil, made us use ethanol, which forced food
prices so high many will starve in poorer countries. Lies that kept us from
making, supplying DDT to needy countries, which cost millions of children their
lives due to malaria. They will promote new lies to keep our earth the way the
liberal environmentalists want it, though it is not the best for our nation,
for the people in it.
*When I consider your heavens, the work of
your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man
that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him
a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your
hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the
beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that
swim the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all
the earth! Ps 8:3-9 +NIV
*He will have no fear of bad
news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the
LORD. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in
triumph on his foes. He has scattered
abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn
will be lifted high in honor. The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will
gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to
nothing. Ps 112:7-10 +NIV
The lies of sexual immorality will be
promoted:
Our Creator
created man and woman as different and distinct physical beings. He would have
them live with the uniqueness and function of the sex that He made them. He
would have man and woman unite in marriage, wanted the two to become one,
committing to each other for life. Our Heavenly Father made sexual relations
pleasurable, designed it to be between a husband and wife. A married couple was
to have sexual relations only with their spouse, no other person, as a means of
conceiving children. They are to love and care for any child God gives them,
from the womb to adulthood. They are to raise all their children in the love of
Jesus, in how our Savior would have us live.
Yet our elite
liberal leaders are implementing:
The lie that an unborn baby has no rights, whether they live or die
should be determined by the dictates of the woman in whose womb the baby
resides. Mothers have the right to kill an unborn baby because of the
inconvenience it may cause them, for the sexual pleasure they derive from
sexual relations without accepting the responsibilities which it brings. A baby
which has a living soul that our Heavenly Father created, a living being like
all others the government should protect.
Our leaders now want abortion possible until the baby
is born. One leader even believes that babies should be left to die, if they
were to be aborted and were mistakenly allowed to be born alive.
Our leaders believe there should be no age requirement.
A pregnant mother of any age should the authority to kill their baby, even when
they are not adults and still the responsibility of their parents. Pro abortion
advocates can advise pregnant underage girls, take them to have an abortion,
without their parent’s permission, without their parent’s advice, without their
parent’s knowledge.
Our leaders will make all medical personnel perform
abortions. Even when it goes against their Christian beliefs, their moral
values, or their medical licenses can be taken from them.
Our leaders promote the lie that the father of an unborn child does not have the same God
given rights as the mother of his unborn child. That a father must helplessly
watch from the sidelines if his wife wants an abortion, killing his child.
Our leaders promote the lies of homosexuality, will
encourage same sex marriage laws.
Marriage was instituted by our Heavenly Father between a man and woman, and
that has always been the meaning of the word marriage. No one is denying
homosexuals unions, but they want the prominence of a heterosexual marriage
which physically they are not qualified to have. Though states have won
elections against homosexual marriages, liberal judges have started to make
laws from the bench legalizing homosexual marriage. Liberal leaders will
support homosexual marriage by making a homosexual marriage done in one state
legal in another. Trying to implement homosexual marriages without voting,
without a debate, trying to perpetuate the lie that a man is a woman or a woman
is a man.
*"Blessed are those who wash their
robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the
gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers,
the idolaters and everyone who loves and
practices falsehood.” Rev 22:14-15 +NIV
We must understand ethnic and gender lies:
We should not fall
for the lies we continually hear, the prejudices within our hearts. There is
also an old saying, “blood is thicker than water,” meaning the relationships we
share with family, race, or gender are the strongest bond we will ever have.
Yet that is a lie, for our blood relationship with Christ is stronger than any
bond we will ever have. For Christ’s blood alone can unite believers as
children of God here on earth, as brother and sister throughout eternity. We
should select those with our beliefs to rule our government, those who will
honor the will and bounds of our constitution, offer all the freedoms this
republic offers. Not selecting our leaders on the basis of race, gender, or
class standing, where anyone is coming from. But where they are going, those
who will lead us in truth, both in the good times, and the tough times, with
the values of our Lord. It is not important to have leaders for the pain they
have been through. It is more important to have truthful leaders who will
strive to lead us with the least amount of pain, the peace found in God’s
morals. It is not important to have ethnic or gender representation, mere
symbolism to overcome our problems. But those with the reality of truth in
their hearts, who will show us the way through all the problems we will face.
*That ye may become blameless and harmless,
children of God without blemish in the midst
of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the
world. Phil 2:15 ASV
Know our Heavenly Father will give us the
strength to endure:
We will be given
the Spirit to strengthen our faith, to help us overcome all the trials we will
face, all the lies we will encounter. The lies will increase, become more
extreme, our troubles will intensify, and many believers will face death. We
all have a spiritual war to win, though we will lose the physical battle on
earth until Jesus returns. We must trust our Lord, stand up for Him, never deny
His glory. Yet not have anger or hate towards the many people who oppose our
Lord, only the evil which deceives them, then controls them. We must pray that
all may find Jesus, pray that believers will stay in His love. The victors will
be those who know God’s truth and follow it, recognize evil by its lies and
avoid it. They and they alone will be given the blessings of Heaven.
*Therefore we do not lose heart. Though
outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary
troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So
we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is
temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2Cor 4:16-18
+NIV
*To
him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just
as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. Rev 3:21 +NIV
