IMPERMANENCE of policies

 Ecclesiastes 5:15-16

King James Version

15 As he came forth of his mother's womb, 

naked shall he return to go as he came, 

and shall take nothing of his labour, 

which he may carry away in his hand.

16 And this also is a sore evil, 

that in all points as he came, so shall he go: 

and what profit hath he 

that hath laboured for the wind?

Do policies last?

Are they subject to change?

Why are they changed?

Was there a need to change?

We have one good example from a world war to cold war video.

Watch the 55th minute onwards.

You will see the negotiations among Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin.

This, at the Yalta conference.

The subject of negotiations?

Germany, Poland, the U.N., and Japan.

What were the issues involved?

How did they negotiate?

What were their motives?

Did the world leaders stick to the original agreements?

What transpired post-conference?

Of course, Stalin spied on the other two world leaders.

He had a dossier on each, months before the negotiations.

He also installed cameras and microphones at the Yalta compound.

He was ahead of the game because of such methods.

Churchill and Roosevelt had to make concessions.

Poland was sacrificed.

Same with Japan.

Roosevelt died 11 days after the conference.

Vice-president Truman succeeded him.

Stalin looked down upon this new president.

Not realizing Truman had an ace up his sleeve.

America had their "Little Boy".

The atomic bomb.

Signifying the superiority of the Americans at that point.

Of course, the Soviets had spied on the Americans.

Thus, creating their own bomb, too.

But the Americans got there ahead of them.

While Stalin was sly, Truman was pragmatic.

He could write a simple, "No" to Stalin.

Which, of course, enraged the tyrant.

Seems Stalin met his Missouri match.

Roosevelt died.

Churchill lost his re-election.

Truman dropped the bombs in Japan.

All are mortal.

All died.

They had their successors.

Policies come, policies go.

As it has been, so it shall continue.

All subject to the whims and winds of man, and war.

Is the world improving?

You tell me.

But there's one thing that will never change.

We all die.

We cannot expect our policies to be the same.

People who take our place may have different agendas.

Unless we be of the same GOD SPIRIT, we cannot produce anything of real value.

The world has revealed, it has no room for the LORD.

And yet, they forget one thing:

Our lives are in GOD's hands.

He gave us His spirit.

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man 

of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.

He forms this spirit in us.

Zechariah 12:1

King James Version

12 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, 

saith the Lord, 

which stretcheth forth the heavens, 

and layeth the foundation of the earth, 

and formeth the spirit of man within him.

That spirit goes back to GOD.

Ecclesiastes 12:7

King James Version

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: 

and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

With these in consideration, we must not think we live forever.

We must not produce "dynasties", "cronies", or "clones".

Only believers live "forever", through CHRIST.

Who promised us eternal life.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

John 10:27-29

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, 

is greater than all; 

and no man is able to pluck them 

out of my Father's hand.

John 17:3

King James Version

3 And this is life eternal, 

that they might know thee the only true God, 

and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

If you are a leader, whether of a family, a business, a community, an organization, or a nation, it's best you be of GOD.

Delight in the LORD.

And yet be fearful of Him.

For His policies live forever.

We are as nothing compared to His power.

1945-1953 From World War to Cold War

On U.S. politics

 Proverbs 21:2

King James Version

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: 

but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

I am looking into the U.S. right now.

Actually, for nearly five years now.

Since GOD made me born again in 2019.

Why did He lead me to Bible prophecy right away?

Why specifically regarding judgment on the U.S.?

The U.S. remains the most powerful nation on earth, at the moment.

Her future president's policies will affect EVERY country in the world.

Probably more than at any other time in history.

Only because nothing in the world makes sense anymore.

It is critical the U.S. elect a worthy president.

A staunch, and GOD-fearing one.

Would politics be able to deliver such a president?

Only GOD knows.

So, let's have a look at a couple of presidents.

And a potential one.

What have I observed since Trump stepped down in 2020?

Some "controlled demolition", owing to strange policies.

What have I come to know today?

Biden won't seek re-election.

Another point of concern?

He recommended Harris in his place.

What of Trump?

Does he really care for JESUS?

What of the citizens?

Are they asleep, awake, afraid, or even bullied?

How about other candidates?

Only GOD has knowledge, and control, over that.

I'm not into politics.

My focus is the WORD of GOD.

I like looking into the real "spirit" behind people.

Is it from the SPIRIT of GOD, or from another?

All I know is if something is sanctioned by GOD, it shall be so.

Whether it is an unruly ruler, or a decent ruler.

SPIRIT and I wrote a series of articles on that:

The people of ISRAEL sin against GOD

GOD gives ISRAEL the king THEY want

When GOD decides on a KING

As workman, watchman, and warrior for CHRIST, I am tasked by SPIRIT to tell you of GOD's laws.

We do not think as the world does.

I look to JESUS to guide me, that I may not err.

And not cause others to err, too.

We point out "road blocks" that influence man's thinking.

Through the LIGHT of JESUS, and His perfect gospel.

With the objective we see clearly, through CHRIST.

People mock Joe Biden and his health issues.

But my heart goes out to him.

All because of TWO things:

First, he suffered greatly when he lost his wife and one-year-old daughter in 1972, in an automobile accident.

This, as they were to shop for Christmas.

Can you imagine the tragedy?

But that's not all.

His three-year-old son had a "broken leg and other wounds".

His two-year-old son had a "minor skull fracture and other head injuries".

Most touching of all was Biden's decision to resign, so he could "care for them".

But he was dissuaded from doing so by another colleague.

This accident happened as  he was just a few weeks elected as senator.

"Biden contemplated suicide and was filled with anger and religious doubt.[54][55] He wrote that he "felt God had played a horrible trick" on him,[56] and had trouble focusing on work."

-- Wikipedia

From a brief victory, to a lengthy tragedy.

Even with heart, we cannot imagine such pain.

Only by the GRACE of GOD can anyone survive such.

Second, Biden also has had brain surgery.

"In February 1988, after several episodes of increasingly severe neck pain, Biden underwent surgery to correct a leaking intracranial berry aneurysm.[111][112] While recuperating, he suffered a pulmonary embolism, a serious complication.[112] After a second aneurysm was surgically repaired in May,[112][113] Biden's recuperation kept him away from the Senate for seven months."

-- Wikipedia

Who's laughing now?

We haven't been in Biden's shoes.

Why should people laugh at him?

The world can be cruel, indeed.

Not to mention the resulting betrayals.

After he "failed" to perform at the debate with Trump.

He was urged to step down from his candidacy.

Not to mean he's innocent, and unknowing.

Why did he allow himself to be president, knowing his health issues?

Why did people use him, knowing he had health issues, which only progressed with age?

Was it to place Harris as VP and "understudy", for a future "takeover"?

Or did Biden endorse Harris to anger his co-democrats?

Do other party members have another candidate in mind?

When it's world power we're talking about, you can imagine the betrayals, and turbulence.

I also don't only look to the president.

I also look to the vice president.

When the president fails/falls, the VP takes over, constitutionally.

Remember how Jackie Kennedy, in her blood-splattered dress, stood beside Lyndon Johnson, as he took his oath of office?

This, soon after John F. Kennedy was assassinated on 22 November 1963 in Dallas, Texas.

Again, I can only look at the first lady in commiseration, unable to imagine her shock, pain, and loss.

Rudely plucked from her shocked state, and private grief, for the nation could not be made to wait.

It's no party being president, faced with tons of problems, and dissension from within, and without.

Not to mention the demands and expectations from those who "pull the strings" and hold the "purse strings".

In Biden's case, won't that aggravate your past surgery?

Apart from the consequences  of one's advancing age.

For myself, I dearly pray for his complete recovery.

From health, and betrayal.

May he turn to JESUS, for complete healing.

In his fragile state, it is merciful he doesn't know (or remember) how people are treating him at this stage in his life.

Such is human nature -- no sense of gratitude, or respect.

No one is immune from being "dropped", once we "have outlived our usefulness".

Expect no love from the world.

My concern about Kamala Harris?

May she not have her father's Marxist beliefs.

May she be uninfluenced by her mother's Hindu beliefs.

May she be a true Baptist.

May she not push abortion rights.

May she not have a Jezebel spirit in her.

May she be a godly woman after GOD's heart.

And what of Donald Trump?

Would GOD allow him another term as president?

Does he really love Israel?

Does he really love JESUS?

Is he being supported by the right Christians?

Perhaps, he will do better this time.

Knowing he must leave a legacy.

We have to remind people of an important verse.

Which GOD told king Solomon.

For America is under judgment:

2 Chronicles 7:14

King James Version

14 If my people, 

which are called by my name, 

shall humble themselves, 

and pray, 

and seek my face, 

and turn from their wicked ways; 

then will I hear from heaven, 

and will forgive their sin, 

and will heal their land.

The continuing success of America depends  on these things:

Her love for GOD:

Exodus 20:3

King James Version

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Her belief in JESUS, and love for others:

1 John 3:23

King James Version

23 And this is his commandment, 

That we should believe 

on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, 

and love one another, 

as he gave us commandment.

Her acknowledgment of, and love for Israel:

Genesis 12:3

King James Version

3 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.

It will all be about having a real love, and adoration, for GOD.

A full acceptance of the power of His Son, JESUS.

Perfect guidance from the HOLY SPIRIT.

A love for Israel, GOD's chosen nation.

As well as consistency, and authenticity.

Only GOD can determine America's heart, and true motives.

Only He knows America's destiny.

In the meantime, I await the results.

And in case you think all these apply to the U.S. only, not so.

GOD's LAWS apply to all leaders, nations, and citizens.

Proverbs 29:2

King James Version

2 When the righteous are in authority, 

the people rejoice: 

but when the wicked beareth rule, 

the people mourn.

WINGS parties DIVISIONS

 

Psalm 139:8-10

King James Version

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: 

if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, 

and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, 

and thy right hand shall hold me.

It's election season in many countries.

Actually, it's almost election season all the time.

Man has too many governing bodies.

Too many organizations.

Too many divisions.

Too many parties.

Have our societies become better?

Or more of the same, just in different clothing?

Same agenda, different representative?

Is there hope for peace, unity, and resolution?

To find real answers, we turn to the HOLY SPIRIT.

Who, in turn, leads me to Scripture.

The WORD of GOD rules.

So, let's have a look.

Comparing what man wants.

Versus what GOD decreed.

We want unity.

GOD decreed "confoundment":

Genesis 11:6-9

King James Version

6 And the Lord said, 

Behold, 

the people is one, 

and they have all one language; 

and this they begin to do: 

and now nothing will be restrained from them, 

which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, 

and there confound their language, 

that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence 

upon the face of all the earth: 

and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; 

because the Lord did there confound 

the language of all the earth: 

and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad 

upon the face of all the earth.

JESUS declared "division":

Luke 12:51-53

King James Version

51 Suppose ye 

that I am come to give peace on earth? 

I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

52 For from henceforth 

there shall be five in one house divided, 

three against two, and two against three.

53 The father shall be divided against the son, 

and the son against the father; 

the mother against the daughter, 

and the daughter against the mother; 

the mother in law against her daughter in law, 

and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Thus, all the "divisions".

The world has "right" wing, "left" wing.

Even far "right", far "left".

"Conservatives" and "liberals".

On, and on, the list goes.

Anywhere in the world.

GOD allows all these, for His perfect purpose.

He wants us to realize something.

The born again knows what it's all about.

We have SPIRIT and Scripture to teach us.

But unbelievers have a tougher time.

They try to unite, but it's not possible.

For we rely on our own strength.

That's why GOD decreed "confoundment", and "division".

That we may know Who the TRUE POWER is.

Until such time we do, we're all in confusion.

GOD waits for our TOTAL surrender.

I don't belong to any wing.

Neither a party, or a division.

I take refuge under GOD's WING.

That's how I feel safe, sure, secure,  and saved:

Psalm 17:6-9

King James Version

6 I have called upon thee, 

for thou wilt hear me, O God: 

incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, 

O thou that savest by thy right hand 

them which put their trust in thee 

from those that rise up against them.

8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, 

hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

9 From the wicked that oppress me, 

from my deadly enemies, 

who compass me about.

Psalm 36:7-9

King James Version

7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! 

therefore the children of men put their trust 

under the shadow of thy wings.

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied 

with the fatness of thy house; 

and thou shalt make them drink 

of the river of thy pleasures.

9 For with thee is the fountain of life: 

in thy light shall we see light.

Psalm 57:1

King James Version

57 Be merciful unto me, O God, 

be merciful unto me: 

for my soul trusteth in thee: 

yea, in the shadow of thy wings 

will I make my refuge, 

until these calamities be overpast.

Psalm 61:1-4

King James Version

61 Hear my cry, O God; 

attend unto my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, 

when my heart is overwhelmed: 

lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, 

and a strong tower from the enemy.

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: 

I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

Psalm 63:7-9

King James Version

7 Because thou hast been my help, 

therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

8 My soul followeth hard after thee: 

thy right hand upholdeth me.

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, 

shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Psalm 91:1-4

King James Version

91 He that dwelleth 

in the secret place of the most High 

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, 

He is my refuge and my fortress: 

my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee 

from the snare of the fowler, 

and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, 

and under his wings shalt thou trust: 

his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Man doesn't have the proper "wing" to protect anyone.

We are in great delusion, if we think any man can protect us.

No intellect, skill, money, or military might can protect anyone.

Only under GOD's "wings" are we safe, sure, secure, saved.

Only under GOD's authority, can we be of true service to others.

There is no unity on earth.

We are all imperfect beings.

To each his own agenda.

We are all under sin.

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;

1 John 2:16

King James Version

16 For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life, 

is not of the Father, but is of the world.

GOD purposely created division.

In answer to man's prideful ways.

Why else are there so many nations?

Why else are there so many religions?

Why else are there so many languages?

Why else are there so many factions?

Why else are there so many tribes?

GOD knows what He's doing.

EVERYTHING is for His PURPOSE --

To know who are His.

Are you "wheat", or "tares"?

Matthew 13:30

King James Version

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: 

and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, 

Gather ye together first the tares, 

and bind them in bundles to burn them: 

but gather the wheat into my barn.

Are you "sheep", or "goat"?

Matthew 25:31-33

King James Version

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, 

and all the holy angels with him, 

then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: 

and he shall separate them one from another, 

as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, 

but the goats on the left.

Are you "of GOD", or of "mammon"?

Matthew 6:24

King James Version

24 No man can serve two masters: 

for either he will hate the one, and love the other; 

or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. 

Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

GOD's objective?

Matthew 13:41-43

King James Version

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, 

and they shall gather out of his kingdom 

all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: 

there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth 

as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. 

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

The only way we can know holiness, is through JESUS.

The only peace we can hope for, is through CHRIST.

The only unity we can have, is through JESUS.

Galatians 3:28-29

King James Version

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, 

there is neither bond nor free, 

there is neither male nor female: 

for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, 

and heirs according to the promise.

Only through JESUS are we capable of anything at all.

John 15:5-7

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, 

he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; 

and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, 

and they are burned.

7 If ye abide in me, 

and my words abide in you, 

ye shall ask what ye will, 

and it shall be done unto you.

We can only succeed, through CHRIST.

For He will teach us how to be.

Further, true government is not about ruling others.

But being ruled by GOD.

Believing in His Son, JESUS.

And knowing, and obeying GOD's will.

Only by being born again, can we comprehend all these.

Only by being born again, can we accept all these.

Only by being born again, can SPIRIT teach us.

Only by being born again, can we begin to understand.

How GOD governs.

Isaiah 55:8-9

King James Version

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, 

neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 

so are my ways higher than your ways, 

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

And the role of SPIRIT.

1 Corinthians 2:11

King James Version

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, 

save the spirit of man which is in him? 

even so the things of God knoweth no man, 

but the Spirit of God.

PAUL corrects ATHENS

 

Acts 17:16

King James Version

16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, 

his spirit was stirred in him, 

when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

What happened when Paul went to Athens?

How did this apostle approach the Greeks?

How did he respond to their idolatry?

How did they respond to him?

Here he is disputing with the Jews:

Acts 17:17

King James Version

17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue 

with the Jews, 

and with the devout persons, 

and in the market daily 

with them that met with him.

How did they respond?

Acts 17:18

King James Version

18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, 

and of the Stoicks, encountered him. 

And some said, What will this babbler say? 

other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth 

of strange gods: 

because he preached unto them Jesus, 

and the resurrection.

Acts 17:19-20

King James Version

19 And they took him, 

and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, 

May we know what this new doctrine, 

whereof thou speakest, is?

20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: 

we would know therefore what these things mean.

Evangelist Luke, author of "Acts of the Apostles", had this to say about the Athenians:

Acts 17:21

King James Version

21 (For all the Athenians 

and strangers which were there 

spent their time in nothing else, 

but either to tell, 

or to hear some new thing.)

Standing in the midst of Mars' hill, Paul spoke to the idolatrous Greeks:

Acts 17:22-29

King James Version

22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, 

and said, 

Ye men of Athens, 

I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.

23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, 

I found an altar with this inscription, 

To The Unknown God. 

Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, 

him declare I unto you.

24 God that made the world and all things therein, 

seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, 

dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, 

as though he needed any thing, 

seeing he giveth to all life, 

and breath, 

and all things;

26 And hath made of one blood 

all nations of men 

for to dwell on all the face of the earth, 

and hath determined the times before appointed, 

and the bounds of their habitation;

27 That they should seek the Lord, 

if haply they might feel after him, 

and find him, 

though he be not far from every one of us:

28 For in him we live, 

and move, 

and have our being; 

as certain also of your own poets have said, 

For we are also his offspring.

29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, 

we ought not to think that the Godhead 

is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, 

graven by art and man's device.

He then finished with a stern warning:

Acts 17:30-31

King James Version

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; 

but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

31 Because he hath appointed a day, 

in the which he will judge the world in righteousness 

by that man whom he hath ordained; 

whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, 

in that he hath raised him from the dead.

The response of the Greeks?

Acts 17:32-33

King James Version

32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, 

some mocked: and others said, 

We will hear thee again of this matter.

33 So Paul departed from among them.

Acts 17:34

King James Version

34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, 

and believed: 

among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite,

 and a woman named Damaris, 

and others with them.

How about you?

How would you respond to someone like Paul?

How would you respond to the gospel of JESUS CHRIST?

When GOD made me born again in 2019, I immediately embraced the Bible, like a thirsty child.

There was no other book I'd touch after that.

Do you also realize "democracy" is patterned after the Greek ideal?

Is that why our governments are in chaos?

That they separated church and state?

And look to their "unknown god"?

Or their many gods?

Some things are evident.

Just that man refuses to see.

Much less acknowledge.

But the Rapture cannot be held back.

It is the next stage in GOD's timeline.

Which could occur at any moment GOD deems fit.

Where do you stand right now?

Are you born again?

Have you repented?

Do you believe the gospel?

Do you look to JESUS as our Savior?

Or have you resisted all attempts to acknowledge the LORD?

JESUS settles the matter Himself:

Matthew 12:36-37

King James Version

36 But I say unto you, 

That every idle word that men shall speak, 

they shall give account thereof 

in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, 

and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

John 8:24

King James Version

24 I said therefore unto you, 

that ye shall die in your sins: 

for if ye believe not that I am he, 

ye shall die in your sins.

John 10:26-27

King James Version

26 But ye believe not, 

because ye are not of my sheep, 

as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him,

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.
