Former Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts says, “The country is not being run by the President. It is being run by spy agencies and private interest groups, Wall Street and military security complex . . . They run the country.”
Last week former President Jimmy Carter said, “The U.S. has no functioning democracy at this moment.”
One of these men is a Republican and the other a Democrat. My observation has nothing to do with politics but everything to do with righteousness and lawlessness as defined in Scripture. Our Heavenly Father gave us a simple set of rules to live by, all based on HIS Character of Love. If you look at the underlying theme of lawlessness, it points back to the love of money, aka greed. The basic steps to control:
Step 1 Create an enemy
Step 2 Create a solution to fight or dominate the enemy
Step 3 Perpetuate the view that the enemy’s attempt to overthrow is imminent
Step 4 Take you profits
Step 5 Go back to Step 1 and create another enemy
The above occurs when the ego is in control. The mind was designed to be a servant, not in control. The Heart of man connected with Our Heavenly Father was designed to command our path. This is the path of Love, faith, hope, and peace.
Men now crave lawlessness because they believe they are entitled to operate according to their own lusts. Over the last four decades, men decided to eliminate the gold standard so they could “control” the economy without any hindrance. Now the system is set to fail. Those same people will now try to buy up all the gold and silver just before they attempt to collapse the current system. They will take no economic prisoners. They now believe the earth is over-populated. Their lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and pride of life will be their downfall.
As the Remnant continues to mature, the tares will grow with the wheat (Matthew 13):
“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”
The fiery Law will burn the lawlessness out of the midst of the people. The barn will protect the Remnant, not remove them from the earth. Al lawlessness is removed from the earth, righteousness will remain and rule and reign. The harvest is near.
