The End of The West

What is wrong with our Western Societies that we are allowing all that made the West the leaders of the world, to be denigrated and despised, and our common sense replaced by perverted  notions of marriage, sex, human rights, gender, male and female roles, even the history of our peoples?

The principles that guided our growth and prosperity have been progressively undermined by a Satanically inspired left wing bias in our education systems, from junior schools to universities, bolstered by a lack of government control over bias in state owned media outlets which Australia’s ex Prime Minister Tony Abbott wrote in the Weekend Australian, March 9-10, “testify to the long march of the Left through the institutions, a kind of soft Marxist version of the Jesuit maxim: “Give me the child  for the first seven years and I’ll give you the man.”

Like the proverbial frog in the warming water, our people have been carelessly unaware of this insidious ideological force feeding that has brought about societal change that our great grandparents would not believe, and its results  are seen in the decline and confusion in nations throughout the Western world – our economies weakened, our power virtually extinguished, our influence lost  to nations we never even needed to consider just a decade or two ago.

Why?   Because we have stood by uncaring and let it happen, even been amused by the perverts parading their rejection  of all that was once hallowed.  We have brought it upon ourselves, and if we will not change, the West is doomed to lose its freedoms to invasion and oppression. It is already starting to happen, if you are aware of world events.

Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God’s wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things.”  Ephesians 5:6.   Christian Standard bible.

The Plan of God part two

We saw last time that there are two main resurrections, Hebrews 11:35. The first resurrection provides true Christians who then marry Jesus Christ, Revelation 19:7, with their positions  sharing in the Government of God here on the earth during the Millennium, Revelation 20: 4.

Those positions will depend  upon how diligent and faithful they have been in their calling, Luke 19:17.

At the end of the 1000 years the Second Resurrection will take place, Revelation 20:11-13, Ezekiel 37:5-6. This resurrection will include  all those who have never even heard of Jesus Christ,  as well as the majority of Christians who never understood the true gospel and were deceived by Satan into rejecting God’s Commandments and Sabbath, and the pattern and example of Jesus Christ, Revelation 12:9.

During this Great White Throne Judgement period, some who have deserved punishment will receive it,  before being given their chance to repent.

They will be resurrected into a world  carefully prepared for them during the 1000 years ( See our Article, ‘Return to Eden’).  It is thought  that they will be raised  physically perfect,  without any disabilities, at the age of 30, the age of maturity, when Jesus began His ministry. They will taught God’s way and  live to be 100, Isaiah 65:20. Little children who died young will be raised by their parents, and also reach 100, when  those  who have repented and received Salvation through Jesus Christ will be changed into Spirit Beings.

There may be some who refuse to repent of their sinful ways. They will die only to be resurrected again along with the few who understood and rejected their opportunity for salvation in this life,  to face the lake of fire when the earth is consumed with fire in preparation for the New Heavens and New Earth, Luke 16:24,  2 Peter 3:10-13.

God is giving you a chance now to be in that better resurrection, with all its rewards, but it takes courage, and we have a vitally important God given task to fulfil, which is not even mentioned by the churches, even the churches of God, though it is plain in God’s word!

The Plan of God

There is one chapter in the Bible which summarises the future for those God has called and chosen. Not yet ALL those who have ever lived, for there are 2 distinct resurrections and we are here looking at the “first fruits” resurrection, Revelation 14:4, as against  the second resurrection of the ‘great white throne’ judgement in Revelation 20:11-12, which I will cover later.

That chapter is John chapter 17.  John 17:2 tells us who the chapter is about. They understand that Jesus’ teaching was from His Father, John 17:6-9, and now they keep Gods commands and belong to both the Father and Christ.

They are the called out ones and will be kept through God’s Name, John 17:11, as we read throughout the New Testament – ‘The Church of God’.  Christ has given them God’s word, but the world has then hated them, John 17:14, for it is not easy to be a true Christian in an evil world, John 17:15-18.

The next verses speak of  a mystery, and you can read about that in a recent article on this site entitled,  “The Mystery of The Gospel”.  It explains  that Jesus and His Father are “one”, as of one mind in all things, but now christ prays that these too may become ‘one’  with Himself and His Father.

This will occur fully when they are resurrected and marry Jesus Christ  before His Father’s Throne, on the Sea of Glass, in Heaven. Revelation 14:1-5, 15:2, 19:7.

They are now the children of God but will become the Bride of Christ and take His Father’s Name, as they join His family, Revelation 14, and rule with Christ here on the earth, Rev. 20:4. They  will remain close to their Lord and Husband for eternity, John 17:24, and share in His Glory.

These are not the beliefs of any denomination, but simply the plain words of God, John 17:17, which you may believe, or not, but your choice could determine if you will be in the better resurrection, Hebrews 11:35,  ‘Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. NIV. Or, in the second resurrection, which we will examine next time.’

Biame and God our Father

Years ago I lived in a beautiful valley in NSW which contained many caves in which were found many aboriginal cave paintings, most of them very simple silhouettes of hands, boomerangs etc. formed by spluttering white clay from the mouth, but one quite separate cave contained a larger than life, impressive, coloured  painting of a man with arms and legs akimbo. This was understood to be  the aboriginal god Biame, the sky god of the Dreamtime – the Creator of all, and the guardian of the valley.

The difference between all the others and this one made me doubt that they were done by the same people. Was Biame painted by  an earlier race, like  the more figurative works in the Kimberly, which some anthropologists have suggested were produced by an earlier race, later wiped out by much larger and stronger aboriginals?

The fact is that ALL Australians arrived here from overseas, and we can’t know for sure when. The Bible tells us that ALL humans descend from Adam, and then Noah after the Flood,  when God created different languages to make Noah’s descendants spread out over the earth. Even today most races retain some knowledge of the Flood, and the Creator God. Is it a co-incidence that Biame, the sky god, was for the Aboriginals also the Creator? Could be that he is the same God worshipped by Christians?

The aboriginal people never had a written language, and knowledge passed on orally soon becomes confused, so it could be expected that they would forget more than the cultures which wrote down their history. At the time of Abraham in Babylon there were great libraries where records were kept on clay tablets and stone. Moses , one of Abraham’s descendants, wrote down the first five books of the Bible, as God instructed, and  Abraham’s descendants eventually gained the whole of God’s word.

That book tells us that Aboriginals are just as much God’s children as for example, the Jews.  Jesus said we ALL should pray to our Father in Heaven and that God’s words are Truth.  It is quite understandable that, without writing. Truth quickly became lost to confusion during the ‘Dreamtime’, when Satan could take advantage of the situation to insert a plethora of false gods into aboriginal culture, but  the one true Creator God is their Father, as He is ours.

The Jews and the rest of Abraham’s descendants in the Western nations largely kept god’s Laws and so developed Western civilisation, until, eventually, Australia was colonised.  But, like the Aboriginals,  They too eventually forgot God’s Laws , encouraged by the evolutionists  to reject the Bible.

The result was the same.  With the lack of God’s Laws they too began to degenerate. Society began to unwind. Like the Canaanites of old they began to sacrifice their children.  Millions of the unborn have been killed, torn from the womb. Broken homes, lawlessness, violence and murder now pollute the land, and perversions have become the acceptable norm, even here in Australia.

But God’s word is  still there and individuals can still prosper and be blessed by following it, for the rewards are as automatic as the penalties for breaking it. God’s word also contains God’s Plan for those who chose to obey – a future so magnificent, so stupendous that it is almost beyond our comprehension.

Next time I will attempt to summarise that Plan, but first, here is a clue:    ‘So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them’.  Genesis 1:27.

An Amazing Cultural Decline

It is a remarkable and horrible thing to contemplate the dramatic changes brought about by political correctness in less than one lifetime. The very foundations of Western civilisation have been undermined by this crass foolishness, and yet few recognise the extent  of the change that has taken place, as the time honoured beliefs, standards and morals of our nations have been swept away in the pursuit of  liberal and ‘progressive’ transitory mores of a decedent society, even in my own lifetime.

For two thousand years those standards, based upon the 10 Commandments, provided an unchanging bedrock upon which our laws were built, family life was based, our gender was determined, our different gender roles were realised,  our respect for any authority existed, and our stability and patriotism survived.

What we have instead is the quite automatic result of rejecting that foundation. We have seen the loss of an Empire, the breakdown of the family, gender confusion, society fragmented by immigration and terror, increacing false religion, lack of respect for our police, teachers, the unborn and the elderly, and chaos in our governments.

All of this in less than a lifetime! The tragedy  is that we have not yet  reached the depths to which we will fall;  bringing about defeat and destruction. Only then, when those who remain realise our error and repent, will Jesus Christ raise us up again – to change not only ourselves, but the whole world!

As the Scriptures say, in 1Corinthians 1:19-20,  ‘”I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent”. So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish.’   NLT.

Only God defines ‘Christian’

Cry aloud and Spare Not!

Jesus Christ said that He came to set family members against each other ( Matthew 10:35-36), that they would become enemies.

How could this occur? It happens when God opens the mind of one family member  to His word, but not the rest. That family member then recognises the sin in society, unrecognised by others in their family, and is regarded as a bigot for believing, for example, that the homosexual agenda pushed by our biased socialist media, is evil, that the lionisation  of gay pride, homosexual marriage, and gender confusion is shameful, wrong and destructive to a nation.

The fact is that like the frog that stays in hot water until it dies, much of society has been gradually brainwashed into believing that human rights are more important than God’s Laws.

So, millions of babies are aborted, criminals go free while their their victims are jailed, evil murderers take a few years holiday in jail, liberal elites would have us remove our borders and destroy our national identity, Christians are made criminals for believing that which has been recognised as evil for thousands of years is not to be accepted, but spoken out against. It will reach the point where Christians are not just hated, but killed for their beliefs. Matthew 24:9, “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.”

But those who hate them are not aware that they speak out because terrible punishment lies ahead for our nations  because of our sins. Matthew 24:21-22,  ‘For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.’   They speak out because they don’t want to see that suffering, that people may repent and be spared.  Isaiah 24:6, ‘Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left.’ NIV.

Have you been successfully brainwashed? Are you like like the frog in hot  water, unaware of God’s  anger?      Please consider God’s words!

Aboriginal Delusions

For some time now government funded SBS  Television has concluded its programmes with an “acknowledgement of country” in a show of respect for the ‘traditional owners’ of the land on which their programmes are made.

We have also seen an increasing number of ‘smoking ceremonies’ performed by aboriginal elders, and now government departments are being encouraged to say an acknowledgement of  ownership of “country” at the start of a meeting, speech, or formal occasion.

It is not surprising that SBS has pushed this along; after all it is the supporter of all politically correct identity groups, most of whom deserve no support whatever, but it is a symptom of the way that the atheist left is all the time ratcheting up its evil grip on society, by pushing perverse propaganda upon the nation. A lie told often enough becomes accepted.

Why is this evil? Because  it is just one more step in separating and dividing aboriginals  from the rest of Australian society, a kind of reverse apartheid, which has resulted in large parts of Australia (Now almost half) being passed over into the control of less than 3% of the total population.   The rest of Australians  then have to apply for permission to enter “Their country” and maybe even have to pay to pass through. It is frankly quite ridiculous, and it will only get worse until they claim the whole of the continent.

Aboriginals did NOT own this continent before the First Fleet came. God did. Exodus 19:5, ‘Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine. Psalm 50:10-11, ‘For every beast of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills.’ And 60:6, ‘God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.’

God raises nations and brings down empires, and gives them to whoever He wills. The aboriginals lived in darkness, superstition and ignorance for ‘60,000’ years, merely roaming over the land,  living off  God’s bounty in a stone age way of life. The First Fleet, despite its tragic mistakes typical of that age, eventually allowed the aboriginals to be given entry into civilisation with all its advantages and benefits but most refuse to recognise that they would not have gained access to them without the help of the ‘invasion’.

Instead  they are still glorifying their previous primitive lifestyle and our society is silly enough to encourage them, with the abysmal sad result of violence, child abuse, syphilis, and idleness all to common where their culture is still dominant.

Those who escape their culture  can and do go on to become prosperous  and successful, because they have integrated into Australian society,  and it is this that we should be encouraging, not the opposite, which will continue to divide the nation.

THE TIME IS COMING  WHEN THESE MISTAKES WILL BE PUT RIGHT,  for Jesus Christ is to return and establish His Kingdom. Aboriginal people will be given equal rights and responsibilities as all other Australians – no inferior or superior treatment. True religion will replace the dreamtime and true education will replace the evil  propaganda of our atheist left dominated media, ‘ his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.’ Zechariah 9:10.

WHY Britain’s Troubles?

Parliament is in chaos and confusion. People don’t know what is going on, and no longer trust their politicians to carry out their wishes, and it looks like Britain may crash out of the EU with no deal, bringing who knows what?

All this in little more than a lifetime since the sun never set on the greatest Empire the world has ever seen, led by the world’s most powerful nation! Queen Victoria would never believe it!

Actually,  ‘British’ is Hebrew for ‘Covenant Man’, ‘Britain’ Hebrew for ‘Covenant Land’, because they were promised their Empire by God, for their ancestor Abraham’s righteousness. They were to carry God’s laws and God’s ways to the nations. They did so for a while, which is why Christianity is found worldwide, but Charles Darwin, with Satan’s now failed ‘Theory of Evolution’,  undermined their belief and faith. Soon, even the Church of England lost its congregations and the whole nation began its downward spiral into lawlessness, perversions, and foreign ways imported by millions of foreign immigrants, especially under Blair and Brown.

As a result, God began to take away the blessings He had given – peace, prosperity, its great institutions in health and education; and its public services began to crumble, overwhelmed by the many who had never contributed to them. Britain became almost unrecognisable to its visiting ex-pats, so full is it of immorality, violence, foreign religion and terrorism, and ridden with drugs and drink. Only the countryside remained much the same.

God knows that it will take war,  defeat and captivity to bring the British to repentance and the recognition of their sins.

Brexit will bring Britain begging to Germany for help, but they will be invaded instead. Hosea 5:13, ‘When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to the great king. But he is not able to cure you or heal your wound.’  Isaiah 10:5-6, ‘Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger; the staff in their hands is my fury.  Against a godless nation I send him, and against the people of my wrath I command him, to take spoil and seize plunder, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.’

Jeremiah 31:8-9  speaks of God’s promise to re-gather the nations descended from Israel, after their captivity, slavery and repentance, after Jesus Christ’s return.  Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, including the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor. They will return as a great assembly! They will come with weeping, and by their supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk beside streams of waters, on a level path where they will not stumble. For I am Israel’s Father, and Ephraim is My firstborn.”

Ephraim is Britain, and the nations who came from it, Canada, Australia and NewZealand. Ephraim was Abraham’s great, great, grandson. These nations may not fall quite so quickly, for they are  behind Britain in their depravity but catching up in their homosexuality, gender  confusion, abortions, and rejection of God’s Laws.

All of us in Ephraim need to consider our future in the light of these scriptures. None of us are without sin.  All of us need to turn from our wrong ways to gain eternal life, through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, or eventually face the Lake of Fire.

A God Plane Relationship

I understood the picture God provides of marriage almost 50 years ago, but only in the last few months after the loss of my wife of 52 years, have I maybe fully realised the meaning and deep significance of the scriptures in the Bible about the sacred institution of marriage, eg. Genesis 2:24, ‘Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.’

The words are simple enough, and we thank God for the creative act that perpetuates the human race, but its deeper significance eluded me until I experienced overwhelming grief. (See the last but one blog). The nearest thing I could compare it to would perhaps be a ‘panic attack’, where I felt such loss that it seemed a huge part of me had been torn away, leaving me gasping for breath, with rapid panting.

Truly, we had become one flesh in a much deeper way than I could possibly have imagined, as I tried to adjust to the loss and seeming emptiness.

The realisation that a man and a woman can become ‘one’ like that, is important, for Jesus Christ said He and His Father are similarly ‘one’, and that He will marry those who have been true Christians after their resurrection, before His Father’s Throne in heaven.

Then,  Christ and His Bride all also become  ‘one’,  with all that that means for mankind’s awesome future.  The results  will reveal the complex nature of God’s Plan for mankind, making my previous understanding of marriage seem very shallow indeed, and I look forward to writing about its detail in an article for this website.
