This brings us back to my opening question: Do you
want to be free? While we all would be inclined to answer 'yes', perhaps we
would do better answering that question with a question: what do you mean by
'free'? Surprisingly, answers to this question vary widely, and not
everything one person may see as coming under the heading of 'freedom'
agrees with another person's definition of the same word. Yes, ‘freedom’ is
used to mean many different and even incompatible things. For example,
‘freedom fighters’ are perceived to be good guys, the brave underdogs
fighting tyranny. But what about ‘terrorists’? Bad guys, right? Yet, both
terms are used to describe the same people!
In
modern times we hear a lot about 'rights' - 'rights' are perceived as
anything a person has an innate freedom to do. To be deprived of your
'rights' is an injustice against you. That all sounds fine, until we get to
the discussion of who gets what 'rights.' For example, in the USA the
Constitution contains a "Bill of Rights" that sets forth a list of freedoms
that are considered 'unalienable' because those are 'rights' that come from
the Creator. The important thing here is that these are individual rights
that apply to every person equally under law. The Constitution recognizes
that everyone must be on a level playing field as to rights, and that rights
of all individuals must be balanced out equally so that everyone enjoys
their freedom, while not infringing on the freedom of other citizens. To
accomplish this, (in theory at least) laws are enacted "for the common good"
to restrict the 'rights' of one person from infringing on the 'rights' of
another, or of society as a whole. Through such publically agreed laws that
reflect a common set of public restrictions, the ‘people as a sovereign
body’ serves to protect against violations of individual liberty and
tyrannical power. At the time the Constitution was framed, there was an
underlying moral framework of behavior that nearly everyone accepted as
valid. Namely, the Bible. This made it fairly easy to pass laws everyone
agreed upon against various forms of theft, violence, murder, and other
harmful conduct. This near universal moral code coupled with a body of civil
laws to insure the same, protected everybody's rights. Where no such common
body exists, individuals are deprived of this protection of their rights,
and the tranquility of society necessary to enjoy one's freedom. With this
common system of law and order in place, and respected, everybody wins.
I'm
pretty sure we all know that system never worked perfectly. That's because
there have always been people who are completely selfish and care nothing
for the rights or others, just their own personal freedom to loot, rape and
kill at will. Other selfish people are more subtle in their approach, but
still criminals and law-breakers who are more than willing to advance their
own interests at the expense of others. Besides all of that, and a far
greater threat to freedom, are the super-wealthy elite class, who have
always had the view that they are better than everyone else, and that they
should be in charge. These elite have far more than their share of the
earth's resources under their control, so have the power to pose the most
dangerous threat to freedom. They have, in fact, been warring against
freedom for centuries, seeking to subjugate the masses to themselves. In the
twentieth century they made huge steps forward. In 1913 they got the Federal
Reserve passed into law, giving them control of the country's money supply.
This has given them control over the government itself. In 1948, they raised
up the United Nations, which has been a powerful force for creating and
enforcing a globalist set of moral values that undermines the principles of
the Bible, and the Constitution, pushing humanity toward a globalist
dictatorship. This globalist monster has been behind the constant
undermining of the Bible and the Constitution, the cornerstone of freedom in
America. The Bible and the Ten Commandments have been systematically removed
from the public schools, the courts and other public institutions over the
decades. Mind-altering drugs and a perverted social and sexual agenda have
been systematically advanced over decades, destroying the very foundations
of society. Corporations have been given 'rights' that are used to pay off
the politicians while dominating the people and siphoning off an
ever-growing percentage of the world's wealth. Rights of individuals are now
giving way to rights of certain classes of people over other classes -
something never envisioned in the Constitution, and wholly destructive to
it. Now, we have anarchy in our streets, and freedom as we have known it is
in its final death throws, soon to go under the globalist waves. As if that
were not bad enough, technology has given the globalist elite near total
ability to spy on and control earth's billions. Soon, within a far shorter
time than most of us are prepared for, freedom as we've known it will be
gone, as a new global government takes over. There will be no personal
freedom in the nations of the world.
We
have only one hope of escape from the globalist tyranny overtaking the earth
- the Remnant Exodus. This has been prophesied in Scripture for our time.
Are you willing to exercise whatever personal freedom you still have to
build up YHWH's nation in advance of the coming tyranny? In the time of
Noah, as the world approached its end, Noah and his family eschewed many of
the personal freedoms of that world. Instead, they did their duty of
building an Ark for their own salvation and the salvation of a world to
come. When the Flood came, only those who worked building the Ark were saved
in the Ark. If you are going on with your life as usual, doing little or
nothing to build up the Remnant Nation, thinking that you will be included
in the Remnant Exodus, perhaps you should rethink your position. Only those
who built the Ark were saved in the Ark. All the rest were washed away.
Personal Freedom vs Kingdom Duty, that's our
theme tonight. This will be
aired tonight,
at tsiyon.net,
at 8 pm cst. Think about what's really
important.
Blessings and good
health to you!
