We must make clear at the outset of this article that God is in control of all human history. Note the importance of Daniel 2:21, 22:
And he [God] changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
The words of Nebuchadnezzar, after God restored his sanity and kingdom, also need to be read (Dan. 4:34–37). God’s plan is being fulfilled; even the wrath of man will ultimately praise Him. The prayer recorded by Luke in Acts 4:27–29 makes reference to God’s appointments in human government:
For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word.
It seems we are now realizing the words of Christ to Judas late Thursday night of Passion Week, “That thou doest, do quickly.” Changes are happening so quickly; no conservative voice can stop these changes because God is permitting them for His own purpose.
In this purpose of God, there will be a final kingdom of man to complete man’s attempt at controlling God’s creation. It will be the greatest collaboration of man and Satan in history, yet it will be the worst of the kingdoms. It will be an end-time kingdom that will bring great distress on the earth. The final kingdom of man can only come by a collective dismantling of all distinctions between nations. The great changes in America’s recent history are a major part of this needed destruction. America’s unique identity in present world history is soon to come to a lamentable end. Some may say that what we are witnessing is simply the product of passive, or ignorant, or even imbecilic leadership. But such radical, aggressive, intelligently-designed changes taking place so quickly are clearly the evidence of an orchestrated plan by Satan—yet of God’s permission to bring man to the end of his day. Just as the Heavenly Father sent John the Baptist to be a forerunner, a messenger, a voice to prepare the way for His Son Jesus Christ to come, Satan has his forerunners who are messengers and voices preparing the way for the coming of his symbolic son Antichrist. We believe that world leaders today are all now part of the preparatory drama that is soon to be witnessed of the final kingdom of man before the Stone out of the mountain comes to destroy it.
The Changes for the Final Kingdom of Man
The changes now are coming at such velocity in our own country that there will be no way for any reversal to take place; God’s people must get ready for the inevitable. We are fast becoming the leading country to bring about the death of global democracy, and our independence will be thrown upon the absolute necessity of interdependence upon other nations. We will be known no more by what we were. Our country is the last bastion of Western civilization as it has been known. We must witness in the coming months the change of our national name, flag, motto, and anthem. We must witness the change of capitalism, of our entire concept of economy, of our role in global leadership, and of our distinctiveness in history. The quality of our citizenship has so extensively eroded that a slob culture and a subculture now identify the populace. There is no public place where the Christian can go without being accosted by the godless way people dress and act. We are fast becoming an animalistic country where even the churches are falling prey to the desolation of gutter humanity.
Another change that must come is in the area of education. The academic poison of Common Core is already running through the veins of the public school system and will eventually be forced upon all private schools. It is fast doing away with all absolutes in the social sciences and mathematics; its purpose is to ultimately destroy the ability of independent thinking, to destroy even the ability to rise in thought against the political correctness of the time. It will cause our youth to be oppressively brought to low mentality, promoting the already-festering degradation of immorality. The lower the mentality of the people, the easier it will be to control them.
With this consciousness we also realize that we stand in the prelude of the final kingdom of history, a product of the globalization of government and the coming of Antichrist. The United States must be overthrown in its entirety. The absolutism which made our country great in every aspect is an enemy of this final kingdom of man. Global leadership’s call for the “New World Order” has accelerated in the drastic transition from the “Old World Order” to the “New.” Every aspect of the “Old” must cease to exist. The evolutionary belief is that “out of chaos will come order.” The Assyrians were notorious for this principle; this principle was adopted by the ideological powers of communism and the Third Reich. Through disinformation and deceptive propaganda within a nation, chaos can be carefully orchestrated; when lawlessness pervades a country, destroying its principles and laws, then all is prepared for a new order to step in. We are now witnessing such a pattern and principle of chaos in the United States.
Another change must come in the concept of the American workforce; it must be recklessly dismantled in order for a New World Order of labor. The mega companies are already anticipating this new workforce by retiring the old. Companies are laying off current employees by the thousands, resulting collectively in hundreds of thousands, and maybe millions of unemployed before it is all over. These changes are not due to loss of business but are more of a preparation within companies for a new workforce to take control. This is especially true in the tech industry. Just recently Microsoft declared it would lay off eighteen thousand workers. Overall, the massive layoffs in the technological industry are up sixty-eight percent from the previous year. These overwhelming layoffs are being sacrificed on the altar of amnesty that will literally transform the workforce across the country. Mega corporations desire to rid America of its own thinkers and technological minds as they look elsewhere for such individuals who are not of patriotic allegiance to a nation.
For this transformation to be accomplished, a certain kind of president was needed to take the brunt of the changes. They found such a man who takes orders well. It is now the philosophical belief that because the old-world-order way of thinking is not working, there needs to be a radical changeover of concept in Western thinking and Western ways. To accomplish this, society must be brought down to nothing (through social and economic chaos) in order to rebuild a new order. Such chaos will end the old ways, the old thinking, and the old principles of our nation.
America: The Fallen Strong Man
The United States is that strong man to be bound (Matt. 12:29) in order to bring about the final destruction of the old. Nations who once looked to us for help and guidance have become afraid at what they see happening to us. The country that they viewed as standing “for truth, justice, and the American way” is now bowing out and simply becoming a pawn of the next rising world power.
Our country’s growing impotence has made life more dangerous for nearly everyone on the planet. In Western Europe the nations have become more susceptible to the evils of Islam. These countries are also afraid due to the many failures of America’s intelligence community and the liberties the NSA has taken with innocent civilians’ privacy, not only in our own country but around the world. In Eastern Europe the former Soviet satellites all thought we were their friend to help them against the powers of Russia; but we have backed off now making it possible for their takeover. Countries such as Poland, Estonia, Georgia, and others had come to respect and love the USA; they are now at the mercy of Putin and Russia. In non-Muslim portions of Africa, tensions over Islamic terrorism in North Africa have increased. Each day, countries such as Kenya, Nigeria, and other non-Muslim ones are under the blows and threats of Islam. Yet nothing is done for them.
In Latin America drug cartels are more powerful; their lawless nations are sending more and more of their own citizens to our borders to try to overwhelm our national system. In Asia, China has grown more aggressive against our friends of democracy there because America has grown silent against Russia and China. Taiwan, whom we used to protect and favor, is now on its own; we fear the same coming to South Korea. Our refusal to help has brought all of these smaller nations into great perplexity. We also must remember that the White House supported militants who brought the Islamic terrorist group ISIS into existence. And ISIS may be an even bigger enemy of ours than Al Qaeda ever was.
As I return from travels in other countries, I see the greater damage taking place here. We are in the worst economic recovery in American history; our borders basically do not exist; our government is more corrupt than those of Africa; and the citizens face constant attack from their own. Truly the hidden agenda of all governments and perhaps all religions is to eliminate all ideological competition. All alternative news sources must be done away with, and the media must support the agenda of the New World Order without criticism. In a speech on November 6, 1933, Adolf Hitler made the following statement:
When an opponent declares “I will not come over to your side,” I calmly say, “Your child belongs to us already. . . . What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.”
Later on May 1, 1937, Hitler declared:
This new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.
We must get ready for the loss of our private schools as the state takes absolute control of education so that there will be no ideological competition. It will be sooner than we think, dear reader.
Islam, Sodom, and Government
Islam, sodomy in its various forms, and governmental forces make up the End-time trilogy of terrorists against Western civilization. As we read more and more about Muslim atrocities (beheadings, eating hearts out of captives on battlefields, school and church bombings, women stoned for being raped, Christian persecutions, jailings of Muslim defectors), we recognize this as part of the chaos working toward the final global kingdom of man. Today Islamic violence is mostly confined to the Islamic majority world. While Islam conquered these regions of the world through violence and deceptive evangelism, its religion has moved on Europe and North America in a very different manner. In Europe the decline of the population (which demographers have been noting since the end of World War II) has given Islam a foothold on the continent. The indigenous cultures of Europe are all shrinking, their natural populations quickly withering away as more and more Europeans choose to have fewer children. Demographers note that the only reason the European population has stayed stable is the large influx of immigrants from Asia and North Africa—a population that is largely Muslim. These new immigrants to Europe continue to have large families, and so we see a massive growth in ratio of Muslims to non-Muslims throughout Europe.
Today, well over ten million Muslims live in the United States; these numbers are daily increasing. We now face the same issue that Europe has had over the last fifty years, for our natural rate of growth is shrinking. We are increasing our population mainly by immigration, not by births, since American families are having fewer children. Recently, Time magazine ran a story about American couples who chose not to have children so that “they could have it all.” Our selfish desire to buy more things while not having to care for others (namely children) will contribute to the death of Western culture. Japan, the first nation to legalize abortion after World War II, is a nation with a decreasing population crisis. With their older population vastly outnumbering their younger, they are a dying culture. The Japanese culture that has existed for thousands of years will soon be gone because of the demographic shift. Our own country stands at the same kind of crossroads but with the added pressure of an incoming wave of Islamic growth.
We reiterate once again, the United States is the last hope for Western civilization. With hundreds of thousands coming across our southern borders (including gangs and Islamic radicals), there is an intelligent climate being created to bring about the death of the concept of America. The future, at least for our country, may very well belong to the Islamic religion, the great enemy of Christianity. We must get ready for Christianity (whether true or false) to become the minority religion, yea, the New World Order’s hope to even bring about its demise. Truly the professing Christian church in the Islamic world has become an example of what will be ahead for us.
The legalization of same-sex marriages is now leading to a national immoral climate of the legalization of polygamy. The redefining of marriage has now opened the courts to include polygamous marriages. Ultimately, there is no principal basis for recognizing the legality of same-sex marriage without simultaneously providing a basis for the legality of even incestuous relationships. Every argument that won in the courts for legalization of same-sex marriages is now being used for the worst of godless and abominable relationships. The Netherlands is a microcosm of how the sodomite community captured a once-professing Christian nation into accepting a perversion. They now are providing for polygamous marriages; it truly is happening all over the world. Technically, serial polygamy is already accepted in America. People get married and divorced numerous times with little regard for marriage as a covenant bond. Hollywood types change wives like some people change shoes. Others don’t get married but live together, have children out of wedlock, and no one cares. Every channel of the television media promotes it; the Home and Garden channel (HGTV) promotes non-married couples living together, and a great number of homosexual couples become the feature. In many respects, America has already become a third-world nation.
The cultural ethics that made America great are rapidly disappearing. Abortion kills off future generations. Homosexuality is a sterile worldview. The only way homosexuality can flourish is by recruitment. This perverted lifestyle is the result of failed families, and mainly failed fathers. The state has become the father figure to many young people. This is especially true in the Black community. The welfare state made it financially easy for fathers to abandon their children and for the state to become a substitute parent. Our national leaders have been tempted to play the role of father to their people. When the provision of paternal security replaces the provision of justice as the function of the state, the state stops providing justice. Those who are concerned about the chaos into which the criminal justice system has fallen should consider what the state’s function has become. Because the state can only be a bad imitation of a father, it will destroy the youth’s hope of any quality of life. The church that our president came from in Chicago promoted the underground subculture known as “Down Low,” composed largely of men who secretly engage in homosexual activity while living so-called “straight” lives in public.
Conclusion
We have mentioned in a previous article that the young prophet Zechariah calls the coming Antichrist “a foolish shepherd” and “the idol shepherd” (11:15–17):
And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
So much could be said, sadly, of how leaders take control of governments. We could blame deception, rigged voting precincts, tampering of voting machines, bribing leaders and citizens, etc. But behind it all God has permitted it to happen. And God’s people must get in harmony with it. We certainly are grieved, vexed, and even disturbed over the deception, lying, cheating, stealing, scheming, and even the open flaunting of criminal acts. Yet still, God is bringing the “day of man” to his end as the final kingdom of man is on the eve of rising in the whole earth.
Perhaps ninety-eight percent of all the government spends is because of the side effects of its citizens’ sins. All men have been men of sin, and certainly some more than others in open display of it. But when Antichrist comes he will be “the man” of sin, or “Sin’s man.” His heart and life will be the deepest and darkest of sin ever known by a man. He will be the man that Satan has been looking for throughout the centuries. We certainly do not believe that the Antichrist has taken over the world yet, though he may be alive and being prepared somewhere on the planet to make his entrance. But there are “foolish shepherds” in leadership today who are preparing the way for him to come. It is clearly evident, because of the shocking speed at which the radical changes are coming to our country as well as others around the world, that there is but a short time before this world could rise in its final angry attack against its Creator. The small countries will be sucked into the vortex of the key players in the End Time. America will not be one of those key players; it will be the key domino to cause many smaller countries to fall. When America sneezes, the world catches the cold; it truly has been the major influence in the world for good and right. But it will be no more. Once our country falls into the quicksand prepared for it, we will be dismantled and given to the world powers that are rising for the final act before the curtain falls at the Battle of Armageddon.
In our next issue of Straightway, we want to probe into the final economic collapse of Western civilization and how the Lord will set up His Kingdom, and the characteristics that will mark that glorious hour when the Stone covers the whole earth.
Let us be ready for Christ to rapture us off this planet to join the saints of heaven, as we then will prepare to return for the greatest battle of all times, and finally Christ will usher in His Kingdom of Righteousness with His saints. The Blessed Hope is Christ’s own promise, “Surely I come quickly.” We respond to such a hope: “Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” But the finality of that hope is, “Thy Kingdom Come!”
