CHAPLAIN’S PAGE: THE WORLD IS RULED BY C. H.
Christ Haters! Central and local government, Police, Education, National Health, the Entertainment Industry and Sports organisations et al. You may be thinking, it’s up to what they believe. Wrong! The scriptures give strict instructions to those who believe they have a gift to rule. Today, the majority do not even begin to fulfil the criteria that is expected of them. Jesus made a profound statement in Matthew
“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad”.
He was addressing all of humanity without exception, especially those who rule over us in any capacity. Why is it so important to bring Christianity into ruling? Because it is the very fundamental of life, it is about the Creator and His works. It is about the laws which govern the universe. It’s about law and order for individuals, families, and nations. It’s about the cosmos, time and eternity. It’s about the existence of every atom. Remove these laws for just one second and nothing would exist. Everything that is, is held together by the Creator. And who or what is the Creator? Was it a big bang? Was it just mere chance that nothing banged into another nothing, and suddenly, everything that now is, suddenly was! This is what the majority are happy to accept.
How can mankind be so blind? Answer… because it has allowed itself to be blinded by the arch-villain, that evil monster who moves about this planet with total freedom. You may well reply, if God is a God of love, He would never allow Satan this freedom. The answer surprises even many Christians who do not realise that God has allowed Satan this freedom. They also find it hard to accept that God created him in the first place! Nothing could be plainer than
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. (Isaiah 45:7).
Only in this way would man be given the choice between good and evil. Even our Lord Himself was tempted by Satan, ‘Prince of this world’ (John 14.30).
Until it is recognised by those who rule over us in various capacities, that “God is not mocked” (Galatians 6:7) and who “call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20).
All the while we are ruled by such men and women, we will continue our journey to the rocks of destruction. We are following the same course as previous empires who long ago passed into history and are no more. However, there is one major difference, those passed empires had no allegiance with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They were free agents to do their own thing, there were no restraints put-upon them. We, nationally, on the other hand, are in a different situation. The evidence that this is so is overwhelming, historically, biblically, and in other areas that we are tied to God by covenant relationship for all time.
”All that the Lord hath spoken we will do”. (Exodus 19:8) said the nation at Sinai. Even there they had mischief in their hearts. It was for this reason that the Lord laid down strict rules for the nation. Thus began the era of the Judges appointed to rule over a people steeped in idolatry and civil war among themselves. Then began a period of some three hundred years, preparing the way for the establishment of the Kings. Initially, they had the ultimate power in the land. Depending upon their allegiance or otherwise towards God, so the nation prospered or foundered. The list of the Kings both for Judah and Israel, makes horrific reading. However, because of the Holiness and Righteousness of Almighty God, He was bound to honour His covenant with David.
2 Samuel 7:12-16 “And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever”.
That covenant still stands, and we thank the Lord that our gracious queen strives to keep her coronation vows even after over sixty years. However, her powers have been eroded by successive governments who are pledged to wipe out every trace of our Christian roots. All this abetted by Europe whose intention is to make us a mere vassal of a world government. Neither Europe, or our own government have any concept that we are Abraham’s seed. Thus they put laws on our statue books which seriously contravene the plain teaching of Scripture.
King David, shortly before his death, made a statement whilst the spirit of the Lord was upon him:
“The Spirit of the Lord spake by me,and his word was in my tongue. The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds;as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain”.
Would you say that this is a fair description of our government? You know the answer: lies, cover-ups, intrigue, more lies etc, etc, etc.
Yes, we are ruled over by Christ haters, but thanks to the Lord, the time is fast drawing to a close. The time is shortly to hand when the Lord Himself will rule with equity and perfect justice. May that day come soon.
