Bad....Really Bad!
By John Gavazzoni
There it was, I recognized it right away, a summary so true, so insightful, and so well said concerning the state of affairs in America today: "Every institution in America is little more than a cover for insider profiteering via skims, scams, rackets, fraud and embezzlement schemes, all sanctified as 'legal' via a thoroughly corrupted legal system and judiciary." (From "What's Collapsing Can't Be Saved; Our Fraudulent Economy." by Charles Hugh Smith.) But say many of my fellow believers, "nevertheless, we mustn't forget, God is in control." Why is it that that truism often has a ring of shallowness in my ears?
Of course, God is in control. But He's in control of a bad....really bad situation. The mature believer looks at the situation, sees the situation as it is, without wearing the proverbial rose-colored glasses, or hiding his/her head in the sand wishing it would all go away, or stupidly trusting that, after all, we can go to sleep at night assured that the government will step in and save us before it gets bad....really bad. Dearly beloved, your government is a cesspool of low-level sociopaths led around by the nose by gradations of higher level sociopaths until we get to the top where the spirit of anti-Christ exists in undiluted concentration. That's the secular situation, the religious one is for another article.
God was in control when Herod sent soldiers to Bethlehem to kill every child under the age of two. God is in control when life is good, when there's plenty of money in your checking account, and you're able to set aside funds for a rainy day, and for a comfortable retirement, but God is also in control when the smelly stuff is thrown into the fan in huge handfuls. God was in control when the martyr was burned alive at the stake. God was in control during the murderous reign of the Nazis in Germany, but also in control when the major cities of Germany were carpet-bombed.
The nation's situation is not one about how things COULD/MAYBE get bad. It's already bad....really bad! Bill Gate's plan to have the whole world vaccinated with a vaccine that will alter your very DNA is well under way. George Soros is serious, and has publicly declared that his life-mission will be fulfilled in the destruction of America. Most probably, your doctor, yes YOUR doctor is among those for whom your health interests are near the bottom of his priorities, while at the top is his servitude to that egregiously vicious and corrupt collective of thieves, the pharmaceutical industry. For it, you must be kept alive as their cash cow, when it fact, what they do is to extend your dying, not your living.
The wheels of justice do, in fact, grind ever so slowly, but ever so fine, but in the meantime, please, when you read the Epistle to The Ephesians, don't skip over the part about putting on the whole armor of God, especially in re: to the present morass, the helmet of salvation. You're to be guarded against the enemy's blows to your head, so you can think with a clear head and not let the system do the thinking for you. Your favorite well-coifed evening news tv anchor. He's/she's effectively lying to you. He's not allowed to tell you about anything that really matters. He's/she's a marionette manipulated by powers behind the scene. I have to laugh when I hear about fellow believers having a preference among NBC, CBS, ABC or Fox. OK, maybe among them is a lesser evil, but they're all, when push comes to shove, deceiving you about what's really going on in the nation and in the world.
You've been programmed to be impressed by mannerism of communication, of a style of presentment. Beneath it, lies the serpent of old in Genesis, grown into the dragon of Revelation. Your education has been more a matter of propaganda rather than education. Abraham Lincoln, our greatest president? Rather, he was the greatest tyrant among tyrannical presidents. The military fighting in far off lands to preserve your liberty? You can't be serious believing that. The individual soldier may be convinced he's serving his country, but in fact, he's a mercenary for the military industrial complex that profits from the spilled blood, maimed bodies, and then resultant tortured souls of so many of America's young men and women.
Be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove.
