Dennis Edwards:
What Nation Today Dwells Carelessly, Trusting in Her Knowledge?
What nation of the world is known for
being given to pleasure? Isn’t that the goal of the American Dream? Which
nation of the world dwells carelessly? America, in her disobedience to the God
she once knew, dwells carelessly and thinks not that her end is nigh.
But even American leaders of the past have
warned that America’s future was dependent on her obedience to God. Secretary
of State to some of the first American Presidents, statesmen Daniel Webster
(1782-1852) said the following:
“If there is anything in my thoughts or
style to commend the credit is one to my parents for instilling in me an early
love of the scriptures. If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our
country will go on prospering and to prosper, but if we or our posterity
neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catástrofe
may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.”
Surely, America has abandomed her roots,
her moral fiber that made her once great. She has forsaken her Christian
beliefs and accepted antichrist laws such as abortion, euthanasia, same-sex
marriage and the like. She is trusting in her learned scientist to save her and
has forgotten the God of her youth. Her so-called knowledge has perverted her
from her simple faith in God.
General Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964) also
warned,
“History fails to record a single precedent
in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into economic and
political decline. There has either been a spiritual awkening to overcome moral
lapse, or a progressive deteriation leading to ultimate national disaster.”
When Alexander Solzhenitsyn came to
America he warned that America was in decline and was being led astray by a
small political minority, the “Internationalists.” At first he was hailed when
he exposed the horrors which happened behind the iron curtain. But when he
warned that there was a subversive element in the American society working
against the interests of the American people, his popularity wained and he soon
had few speaking engagements. In his writings about why the bloody Russian
Revolution took place, he wrote the following.
“Over a half century ago, while I was
still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following
explanation for the great disaster that had befallen Russia. ‘Men have
forgotten God; that is why all this happened.’ Since then I have spent well
nigh 50 years working on the history of our revolution…But if I were asked
today to formulate as consisely as possible the main cause of the ruiness
revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it
more accurately than to repeat, ‘Men have forgotten God, that is why all this
has happened.’”
A nation falling into apostasy is one of
the symptoms that their end is nigh. Apostle Paul warned that the Antichrist
would not arise “except there come a falling away (from the faith) first.”
Even Jesus warned,
Luke 18:7-8 And shall not God avenge His own elect,
which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them? I tell you
that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall He find faith on the
earth?
Both Jesus’s and Apostle Paul’s words seem
to indicate that the world will fall into a great period of apostasy before the
evil days of Antichrist arise. On a worldly scale we will see something similar
to what happened in Russia in 1917. As a result of men having forgotten God,
iniquity is abound and evil doers are growing worse and worse deceiving and
being deceived. Finally, the wicked-one, the Antichrist, will be revealed and
within a short time bring on the worst persecution of the believers the world
has seen. Except for the fact that Jesus has shortened the tribulation period,
no one would live through it.
What Sorceries Are Being Used to Deceive Us Today?
In Jesus own chapter of warning found in
Matthew 24 we find that no less than three times He warns us that mankind will
be greatly deceived by the spirit of antichrist. The verses we read from Isaiah
talk of “the multitude of thy sorceries.”[Isaiah 47:9] What are the sorceries
that today’s endtime empires are using to control and to manipulate and to
deceive the minds of men? Let us go back and look at the rest of Revelation 18
and see if we find any clues that will lead us to the answer.
Revelation 18: 9 And the kings of the earth, who have
committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and
lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing afar
off for fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one
hour is thy judgment come. 11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep
and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more.
Revelation 18:15 The merchants of these things (the merchandise that
they sold), which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping
and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was
clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and
precious stones, and pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every
shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by
sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning,
saying, What city is like unto this great city!
We see the judgment is sudden and
unexpected.
Revelation 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicans, and of pipers, and
trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of
whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of the
millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; 23 And the light of a candle
shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the
bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by
thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
We see the music and entertainment industry depicted in the first section of verse 22 with the frases “harpers, musicians, pipers, trumpeters.” Where do we find the pinacle of the entertainment industry? I would dare say in the good old USA, in Hollywood in particular. But all the nations of the world like India and China etc. have followed her pernicious ways. Following Hollywood’s example the nations of the world have used the media, music, and television, movies, etc to charm their public to sleep. Is God’s word telling us here that musical sorceries, the entertainment industry, driven by such places as Hollywoood, will be stopped in one day?
Could we also be deceived by the
information we are given by our governments about the Covid-19 pandemic?
Scotland’s Alan Watts of the radio program “Cutting Through the Matrix,” after
having had a conversation with an agent of Britain’s famous MI6, together with
an American working for the CIA, said the following: “Never watch television.
Never watch television. It is the greatest scientific indoctrination tool ever
devised. Have you figured that out yet? It has changed the whole culture of
nations, not just one nation. Why do you think it was mandatory that everyone
have access to television in Britain by the government? Why do you think China
is under the same program right now, because they love to be entertained? Do
you believe that? Most of your ideas and opinions come from television, because
you mimic what you see. Never watch television. You cannot even watch a movie
unless you do it critically.”
What Watts is saying is that television is used to brainwash, indoctrinate, and program the unassuming public. Are television and the entertainment media like a “drug” that our governments and world corporations use to get us to cooperate and submit to their political and social agendas? Are they the sorceries spoken of in Isaiah and in Revelation that deceive us? I suggest you stop watching television and the news for a week or two and see how it affects you.
The actual word “sorceries” in the New
Testament used in Revelation 18:23 is translated from the Greek word
“pharmakeia.” Pharmakeia is the root word for our English word “pharmacy.” In
the physical realm are we being deceived by the powerful pharmatheutic industry?
Are the “medicines” and “vaccines” they are administering to us good for us? Or
are those drugs and vaccines actually making us weaker and sicker? Are they
giving us a false sense of security and causing us to not to seek God in our
affliction? Why is it that the Darrão Barroso, former Prime Minister of
Portugal, former President of the European Commission, former consuler for a
famous international banking concern named Goldman Sachs, why is it that he is
now working for Bill Gates’ GAVI, a vaccine producing company? Is it his
humanitarian nature or is it the financial benefits and the power that goes
with those benefits?
Whatever the sorceries of Revelation 18:23 represent, surely the American Empire is the most fitting fulfillment today from the description we get of Babylon the Whore. Will America be destroyed suddenly by the future Antichrist world ruler, with the help of those ten nations? Surely, the American Christians and patriots would try to resist control by an outside Antichrist force and therefore be a potential threat to a New World Order. Under an annointed popular leader similar to Trump, the Antichrist might feel compelled to make a preemptive strike against America. He might use some new found technology, like the EMP or electric magnetic pulse, that would disengages America’s possibilies of retaliation. America the divided would turn into internal chaos with every man against his neighbour in an effort of survival of the fittest. The television program the “Walking Dead” or the film “The Postman,” or other such films, would come to be a living reality in a post nuclear America. The novel by William Forstchen One Second After depicts America after a EMP bomb has been detinated over America and everything with electric circuits has failed.
