A NON VIOLENT REVOLUTION?

A NON VIOLENT REVOLUTION?

In this “Home of the brave and land of the free” which has become anything but, we hear much about what we need is a non violent revolution. These range from rare to non existent. Why? Because those ensconced in power do not give up that position willingly. A brief review of history will confirm this.

However, we do have in our hands a tool for a revolution in America that, if used, could leave bodies of politicians scattered across the landscape. And this is without a single citizen taking up arms, marching in protests or writing or phoning their Congressman/ woman.

We claim to be a “Christian Nation” and yet we have no clue as to what that entails. Few realize that the term “Christian” is defined for the world by the Vatican and that excesses of the Catholic Church were the impetus in the creation of the religion of Islam by the “prophet” Muhammad.

There is however, a Creator who fashioned the universe including the earth and has no ties with the religions of this world. That same Creator has given promises that we can stake our lives on and that Creator is quite meticulous in fulfilling His promises. That Creator has left us an outline of history that the governments of this world are in the process of doing away with. (That’s a mafia term meaning “destroying”.) This history, along with prophecies of what is yet to come, can be found in the pages of the book that is called the Bible. We should be aware that it has been tampered with by Jews and Catholics alike and therefore we must use it with discretion and exercise wisdom in our use of it.

We find in the first five books of this document what is called the “Torah” or “Pentateuch”and these include the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. In these books we find that a man named Abraham, who lived some 2000 BC was commissioned to introduce the Creator to mankind and this commission was delegated to his offspring and fell primarily to a man named Jacob whose name the Creator changed to Israel. The offspring of Israel were rescued from a life of slavery in Egypt when they numbered about 3 million. Contrary to popular opinion these were not ancestors of the little nation named “Israel” today. They were given laws, statutes, precepts and judgments that the Creator guaranteed, in writing, would produce peace, harmony and prosperity in the land if adhered to. That was some 3500 years ago and these principles have not been tried by any nation to see whether or not that Creator could deliver on His guarantee. That same Creator has given us guarantees individually that we can ignore or capitalize on --- and these also are in writing.

We have today a government which could perhaps be more aptly termed “legislative piracy”. “Health” plans, banker bailouts, automotive takeovers, confiscatory taxes, more government interference in all phases of our lives and it all amounts to “legislative piracy”. And who do governments rob? Not the rich because they are the ones who put legislators in their seats of power. So the robbery is aimed at the poor, huh? How many widows and fatherless children do you suppose we have in America? How many are stifled by an overburden of taxes, fees, penalties, among other governmental oppressions?

What if this select group knew they have a hotline to the seat of the Creator and that He has promised to give a hand if they call on Him? And not merely to lend a hand but to kill their oppressors! And to make widows of their wives and their children fatherless! This is power! And the promise has been there in writing for some 3500 years!

Please turn to the second book of the Bible --- Exodus --- and to chapter 22, verse 22. This is given by word of mouth to Moses who committed it to writing directed to rulers and is every bit as much in effect today as when it was written.

22. “You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.”
23. “If you afflict them in any way and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry.”
24. “And my wrath will wax hot and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.”


Please note well that it does not say the widows and fatherless are to take their grievances to a priest or preacher (we are conditioned to believe that they know the words God will listen to) but rather for them to go directly to the Creator’s throne and “cry out”. The Creator says to the rulers that if the widows and fatherless do this, “I will surely hear and I will kill you.”

Those familiar with the present system know how effective their grievances are. First they are routed through 6-8 recorded phone messages, then instructed to fill out endless forms and then may have a response in 2-4 weeks --- provided the minimum wage clerk doesn’t mislay the paper work.

If this communiqué were posted in every welfare office, DMV, unemployment compensation office and grocery store, do you suppose these folks would begin to present their grievances to someone who can make a difference? Would the landscape become littered with the bodies of politicians? Would we achieve the needed revolution?

WE NEED TO PUT OUR OAR IN THE WATER WHERE IT CAN DO SOME GOOD!
