REPEATING HISTORY

History has a way of repeating itself, people, and if we will not learn from our Bible, perhaps we had better learn from our newspapers before it is too late. Let me clarify my point:



In a recent issue of The Toronto Star in an article dealing with two homosexuals seeking pension benefits as a couple in recognition of their 46-year liaison, reference was made to a judge who had pronounced judgment supporting male-female marriages. The judge was removed from the bench after being found wandering, drunk and alone—or drugged?—through the corridors of a hotel, clad only in black undergarments—ladies' underwear.



In the years before World War II, Hitler moved to discredit teachers, clergy, and any leaders who disputed his proposals. Then he subjected the young people to intensive mental manipulation to brainwash them into acceptance of his theories. At last, he focused the hatred of his nation against his specified target, the Jews. They were driven from their homes, their goods were confiscated, and millions of families were imprisoned or killed.



Now we in Canada are seeing laws changed at all levels of government. We are seeing children being told that if they are unhappy at home, the government will provide an apartment for them and protect them from their parents. We are seeing parents being told that even raising their voice in anger to their offspring is child abuse and can lead to legal repercussions.



This is the beginning of the separation of children from their parents, substituting reliance on the state for dependence on the parent or faith in God. Once the state is recognized by the child as an authority figure, governmental power increases immeasurably. See what your Bible has to say about this, because it has been predicted!



We are seeing same-sex relationships being touted as politically acceptable and understandable. This too has been predicted in the Bible.



We are seeing clergy and once-respected youth leaders blackened by accusations of sex crimes against their charges, based on these new definitions . Often the individuals laying charges have been subjected to powerful suggestive recollection therapy which reveals things they had totally forgotten—or things which took place only in their hypnotically-inducted memories! Nine hundred such individuals came forward recently in Ontario to charge teachers at two Christian schools in Ontario. Sixteen teachers had been sentenced at the time of this writing.



We are seeing sexual harrassment redefined to include touching, so that putting an arm around someone to comfort him or her may be construed as sexually incorrect. By the token of these new laws, when Christ took the little child upon His knee, He abused him by doing so!



All of the above demonstrate an avalanching erosion of respect for authority figures. The discredited leaders may then be jailed or subjected to whatever penalties society may decree—but their ability to influence others will be severely curtailed by the present blackening process. The result can only be chaos, mob rule, as irresponsible governments dole out borrowed monies to profligates, unchallenged and unchallengable except by God.



I pray that we will awaken as a nation and turn to God; that we will reaffirm our faith in the family as a cohesive unit; that we will rekindle our love for one another by drowning the devil-kindled flames of fear; that we will reassess our political responsibilities and stand united to fight some of these unconscionable new laws.



These are the days of Armageddon, my friends I have never met. Let us go forward in the strength of the Lord and His love, to prepare His way—for He comes, lo, He comes!
