THE ENSIGN MESSAGE

WORLD AFFAIRS

By

FACING 2004:

Greetings, dear reader, here in the beginning of the year 2004 in the precious Name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus the Christ, our only Hope for the future. I want to start by quoting the words of the late King George VI, king of Great Britain, in one of his new year’s messages:

“I said to the man at the gate of the year, give me a light. He replied: Put your hand into the hand of God, and it will be to you better than a light, and safer than a known way”.

I can give you no better advice than this, except that we must not treat these words lightly. We must learn what it really means to put our hand into the hand of God. It means we must be prepared to go where He leads us. He must become to us a reality, and Jesus must be unto us the Way, the Truth and the Life. His Word must be to us a Lamp unto our feet, and a Light unto our path.

Do not let these words be only ordinary words that we know so well and can quote by heart, and that is that. In these momentous times in which we live, darkness is closing in on us fast. We can see governments devising all kinds of schemes to solve the problems. We had enough of them during the past year. There were terrible natural disasters like droughts in some places, and floods in others, famines, pests, earthquakes, wars and rumours of wars, men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. And so we could continue.

WHAT DOES GOD SAY?

In all the analyses of world affairs we will very seldom find any reference to the fact that the crux of the whole problem lies therein that we are not in harmony with God, the Creator of heaven and earth. Even Christian organisations which do mention it, very seldom come to the root of the problem. What does it mean to be out of harmony with God? This we will have to search out very thoroughly in His Word. We must take particular notice that God who created all things, established specific perfect laws to govern them all: laws to cover every facet of nature, to control human relationships, national affairs and all from the tiniest atom right up to all the universe. Majestic beyond our imagination!

Thus for example He chose for Himself a People with whom He made an everlasting, irrevocable, unchangeable and unconditional covenant. Just listen:

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

No conditions whatsoever. This is repeated in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Hebrews 8:8-13. For instance, Jeremiah says:

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But iluis shall be the covenant that I will make with the House of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” (Again, no condition whatsoever, God will do it!)

A UNIQUE PEOPLE:

From Abraham with whom God made an everlasting and unconditional covenant, a unique people would come from whom ultimately the Saviour and King of the world was to be born. This People would be the nucleus of His Kingdom on earth. Abraham was therefore himself a unique person. Read Isaiah 51:2:

“Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.”

God waited ten generations after Noah for Abraham to be born. This word “alone” has the meaning in Hebrew of “the only one of his kind” (Gesenius), and has the same Hebrew root as in Deuteronomy 6:4:

Hear, 0 Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.”

It is also found in Job 23:13; Ezekiel 7:5. It also means “incomparable”. God also says in His Word concerning this seed of Abraham through Isaac:

“For thou art an holy (set apart) people unto the LORD thy God; the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.” – (Deuteronomy 7:6-8).

There are many such Scriptures to confirm this. This means that this People is unique of its kind, with whom God had made this everlasting covenant. Where are these People, and who are they? There is indisputable proof that the White Western Nations are this People. We have many proofs to confirm this; contact us and we will let you have them. It is this Group of People that have carried civilization and the Christian Gospel to the ends of the earth.

THE CHALLENGE OF THE AGES:

We are going through a period of a relentless struggle between God and Satan, light and darkness, right versus wrong. Destroy this Group of People through obliteration or mongrelization or both, destroy their covenant relationship with God and their unique calling to be the light of the world, and you enter a period of total darkness and enslavement. It will be hell on earth. And because the politics of our day, and also the Church, do not point this out, our news commentators and theologians do not notice it. This is the great tragedy of the ages.

A PIECE OF NEW CLOTH ON AN OLD GARMENT:

It makes me weep right down to the very depth of my spirit when I look at the pathetic efforts of our Churches with their soup kitchens, their schemes to fight AIDS, their efforts to appease the blacks, and all their schemes to fill their churches. Jesus said:

“But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” – (Matthew 6:33).

Read it in its context and you will see that it refers to food and clothing and shelter. All these new pieces of cloth and old garments, this new wine in old bottles, make the tear even larger, Read Mark 2:21,22. The modern translators have translated the true meaning of Matthew 6:33 away completely because they do not understand the meaning of God’s Plan for the Ages. Thus, this text, tells us to first seek to understand the basic intent of God, and you will understand God’s original Plan for World Salvation. God really created for Himself in Adam an earthly partner. Unfortunately God lost Adam in the garden of Eden because of Adam’s disobedience. It cost the Father the sacrifice of His own Son to bring Adam back again. That will happen through a “rebirth”. That implies that Adam’s seed will have to be recreated for God to establish His Kingdom here on earth (think of the “Our Father” of Matthew 6:9-13). Now we can understand why Jesus said to Nicodemus:

“Art thou a master (teacher) of Israel, and knowest not these things?” – (John 3:10).

THE BATTLE IS NEARING ITS END:

When we understand the heart of the matter, we can follow the drama of the ages with bated breath. Let us pick up the thread as far back as the Greek and Roman civilisations. They were basically Israel who at that time had long ago forgotten their identity, but had not lost it (the Covenant was Everlasting). But they had enough of the germ of the God-connection (The Divine Gene) in them to, through a high moral standard of iron self discipline and sheer hard work, build the civilisations that is still to this very day, the admiration of a thinking world. Just think of their sculpture, their paintings, their philosophers, poets and writers. But because they had forgotten who the God of their fathers was, they fell prey to the wiles of the devil. In their fame and victories also lay their demise. They made slaves of the thousands of lesser breeds they conquered. They went and sat back and became lazy and indolent and looked down upon earning their own bread by the sweat of their brow. It did not take long for those slaves to begin to mix with them, adulterate their noble blood and spoil their genes.

Thus it continued with each succeeding civilisation until we come to the rising of the Western Civilisations. In the time of Martin Luther our ancestors began to hear of the Living God and were converted. It immediately gave them back their high morality. Especially since round about the year 1800 they began to spread across the world and carried with them their civilisation and the Christian Gospel, as far as they understood it. Soon afterwards they began to rediscover their lost identity, and broke through the thick clouds of ignorance and deception.

Today we stand on the threshold of a People that will be born in a day (Isaiah 60:8). It will be a day of life from the dead (Romans 11:15, 25-29). It will also coincide with Satan’s last attempt to wipe out this People and thereby destroy God’s Plan. It will also be at the time of the return of the King in majesty and great glory (Matthew 16:27). Therefore we read in Revelation 11:15:

And the seventh angel sounded: and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.”

And over whom is He coming to reign, but over the core of His kingdom? None other than the seed of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob.

And the angel said unto her: Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” – (Luke 1:30-33).

This is good news! This is the True Gospel.
