I don’t want to negate the brutal forms of slavery from throughout human history, but we are living in a time where we have forged the bonds of our imprisonment and we are not even aware that we are bound.
- The Merriam-Webster definition of slavery:
- 1 a : the practice of slaveholding
- b : the state of a person who is held in forced servitude
- c : a situation or practice in which people are entrapped (as by debt) and exploited
- 2 : submission to a dominating influence
- 3 : drudgery, toil
- 1 a : the practice of slaveholding
We understand the slavery of debt and the authoritarian nature of many Democratic States, but we seldom look to how the many factors of everyday life work together to subjugate us. Progressive elements over the last dozen decades have steadily taken over the reins of power within the power structures we created and admired, and they have turned them against us without our understanding of what has taken place.
Their power is so secure, now, that they have ceased to hide what they are doing and they openly work together to deny truth and logic to bring about their ends.
FINANCE: The powers and principalities have used fiat paper (which only has the value we give to it) to create wealth for themselves while charging us for the privilege to use that paper that has no value without our agreement. They are currently printing ever vaster amounts of that paper and demanding that we continue to give it value through our diminished value and confiscatory interest.
Saving money is counter-productive because of the loss of value through inflation. We have to work harder and harder, yet we have less to show for our labor. Sixty years ago, a family could make a healthy living with just one spouse going to a job – this is not the case today.
Invest in things that will hold value (e.g., tools) and find alternatives to the big box stores. These will be the first to deny believers the ability to buy and sell (Revelation 13:17). Even charities will refuse to assist believers and other non-compliers: Makeawish Foundation condemned for only offering wishes to vaccinated kids.
These freaking kids are dying – how is the vaccine going to benefit them? Government is pushing vaccines so ALL must comply.
POLITICS: The government requests that the Fed print more money and then give it to their friends and supporters, enriching the Fed, the supporters, and the politicians.
I had mistakenly thought that both parties were driving the country over a financial cliff and that one (the Democrats) had its foot on the accelerator. It was generally a choice between a bad candidate and a worse candidate.
I now understand that they have the same goal, but Satan is pitting them against each other to bring about his kingdom. If they knew which would win, they wouldn’t fight as hard to be the victor.
Once, again, we give them value because we are hoping that our side will save us from the other. The very, very few “good” representatives have very, very little impact on the workings of their parties and zero impact on the final outcome.
If I vote, it will be for the restrained, evil candidate rather than the foaming at the mouth, evil candidate. I cannot stop the days of woe that are coming, but maybe I can delay them a little?
MEDIA: Their value used to be based on their circulation, but as they have taken a stand to support big government, their value lies in how loudly they champion big government and their financial interests.
Has the mainstream media reported on vaccine side effects? The benefits of natural immunity over the booster shots? Ever wonder why?
Entertainers no longer need to be entertaining. As long as they preach the government line, they will be feted as important and as influencers, which allow them access to politicians and financiers. They mock Christian values and degrade the culture so that any type of debauchery will soon be legal . . . to the elites.
As “influencers”, they can belittle and badger those that do not embrace the new culture.
Movies and music are being altered and/or cancelled. I own DVDs and a Walkman so I can enjoy music and movies that uplift me in the day that they no longer stream.
SCIENCE: Conformity is the new science. Questioning the status quo used to be how science evolved and great discoveries were made. Today, science cannot be bothered with facts as they reinforce the governmental narrative. If the government needs an excuse to continue its dictatorial rule, Science will enhance a pandemic and provide the FearPorn that officials need to validate their “emergency” powers.
Do you believe that Christian values cannot coexist with government power? Fine, we will help deny the Creator through bogus theories, non-reporting of facts, and even deny that there are just two sexes (“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” – Genesis 1:27)
Find old science books at second-hand dealers and share actual knowledge with your children and grand-children.
EDUCATION: An educated people cannot easily be ruled. Universities providing “safe spaces” for students to not have hear opposing voices will guarantee the government narrative is all they know. Failure to teach true history prevents the students from learning from the failures of the past and from repeating their mistakes.
Government is allowed to implement Socialism with the enthusiastic support of college educated ignoramuses because they never learned that Socialism has NEVER worked anywhere it was tried and always brought about poverty and starvation for everyone except the ruling elite. Socialist countries killed over 100 million of their own citizens in the last 100 years but somehow America will do socialism correctly and humanely.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. Evil is doing the same thing over and over again, in anticipation of the expected result.
Contemporary schools teach that our country is not defensible because of historical wrongs (wrongs that were/are held by a majority of nations) rather than praise the progress made of advancing beyond historical norms. When children believe the country or their countrymen are not worth saving . . . they won’t try to save it when they get older.
Inter-City schools in Urban areas are failing at unprecedented numbers (82% of public schools are failing) . . . on purpose. The teachers are beholden to their union and the union is beholden to the government. Students that cannot read and write will depend on the government for help rather than lifting themselves up.
RELIGION: The churches sold their souls to the government in exchange for tax exempt status. The 501c3 status is more important to then than the integrity of the Word. Groups that used to teach the sanctity of life now approve of abortion to protect themselves from IRS auditors.
The priority is no longer their congregates, but how they can become a mega-church and the mega-bucks that come with it. They seek to associate with celebrities and cater to influencers to build their empires through name-recognition and theatrics during their services rather than through faith in the Messiah
At a time of great fear and depression, they allowed the State to close their doors to their parishioners.
The follow video is heart-wrenching and you will not be able to unsee or unhear the contents. It broke my heart to see the level of delusion Satan has been able to promulgate amongst “believers”. I have a new appreciation for how Henry Reardon felt when he final saw the government plan for what it really was and how he had made it possible (if you never read “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand, it is still a worthwhile read)
We want to think (I know I did) that if we made more money, or enacted better laws, or give more money to our bloated schools, that we can fix the situation. We cannot fix what we have already lost. No amount of money can get back what was taken – they can just print more for themselves to counter you.
I generally give to many ‘worthy’ (worthy to me may not be to you) causes because I believed they were having more of an impact than I could. I am scaling that back. I will still support charities and causes I believe are helping mankind, but my work in the Word and the sharing of it is the greatest benefit I can offer
The end times call for a one-world religion, and I have heard many debates about whether it will be Islam or Roman Catholicism. What if the one-world religion is already here? What if faith in government is that religion? What if cancel culture is the new inquisition?
If you believe in a just Creator, and you see that there is no justice in the world today, then you must believe there will be a future judgment. Stand for truth and speak to what the Creator has told you is good and decent, not what others tell you what is good and acceptable.
Your pastor/minister/priest was trained in a system that sold itself to the principalities and powers. They have no idea the extent of the lies and propaganda they were taught and neither do you if you don’t go to the Word, yourself.
This involves work on your part.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2Timothy 2:15
Ignorance will not save you, your family, or your friends.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Hosea 4:6
Find friends who greatly desire to faithfully serve the Lord and work together through fellowship and study to renew your mind to the perfect program the Father gave to mankind.
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Proverbs 27:17
Ignore the proclamations of those false gods that preach you can make life better through their systems. Right now they still appeal to you for acceptance, but soon than you know, they will demand acceptance – and you will because slaves do not have a choice.
They want to be god on earth. Tell them you already have a Savior. It will be hard to do because slaves that rebel are always punished and sometimes killed. Ten of the eleven Disciples met horrible deaths because of their faith. It was and is that important.
You can make life rewarding through the Scriptures. You can also hold your head up at the judgment seat if you endeavor to do and teach good according to the Word in this fallen world.
I normally have a shameless plug for my book, at this point, but I think it has been taken down (sometimes Amazon is slow at removing items). The publisher is making changes to the cover and then it will be available, again.
I was asked to leave the seminary in 1984 for questioning Roman Catholic doctrine. I was since trained by numerous pastors and other teachers in many false doctrines . . . as they had been. I pray that GRAFTED: Embracing Torah is devoid of much of the error that exists today. Nothing is an adequate substitute for you going to the Word, yourself – though I hope this book can be an aid in your research.
