Where is America Going?

At one time one of our mottos was “Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.” Are we? Really? If we are free, why is there no longer private property? That’s right. There is no truly private property in America. Please allow me to explain.

Ownership is determined by several components. One of the major components of ownership is the power to destroy. Not power as in strength, but power as in authority. If I own a chair, I am free to destroy it. If I own an article of clothing I am free to destroy it. Destruction of property is reserved to the owner of the property. Someone else may destroy your property but they would owe you for the destruction of your property.

Now lets consider taxes. We are bound by both law and God to pay our taxes. We are to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s. When in 1819, Chief Justice John Marshall observed in McCulloch v. Maryland, “The power to tax is the power to destroy,” it should have set off some major warning bells about private ownership of property, if the property is taxed.

What do we own that is not taxed? Additionally, when our private property is taxed on an annual basis, are we nothing more than holders of the property and not owners of it? When my forefathers came to this land from Wales, they were true property owners. There was no property tax, and they could dispose of it in any method they wanted. They could improve it, plant trees, cut trees, build a house, or just let it lay with no obligation to the government.

Today the government, through the power of taxation, zoning and permits, has become the owner. Pay your taxes and you are permitted to live on the land. Refuse to pay and the government will kick you off and put someone there who will pay. In a sense, the tax has become a payment of rent. We no longer own, we rent. An additional proof of non-ownership is the permission you must have from the government to build or modify a building. In a sense, the “owner” asks permission if he can build an structure, even a shed, on the property before it can be built. Another foreign idea to our forefathers.

Oh, by the way, remember those “wild” animals our forefathers could shoot and eat at any time? They have also become the property of the government. The government regulates all aspects of the previously “wild” animals. Notice again, the aspect of destruction of an item helps you determine who owns it. Every deer, turkey, owl, and skunk is regulated. No animal may be killed unless at government approved times and using government approved methods, unless you are permitted by the government to have a waiver.

One last item, as I think of hunting and gun ownership, I think of the abolition of the Second Amendment. Yes, I said abolition. The Second Amendment says, “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Notice the wording of the second part: “The right of the People to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.” Just a question: Isn’t requiring a permit, like a CCW or a Concealed Carry Permit, an infringement? Yes, of course it is. Our forefathers understood this Amendment was not a permit from the government but a recognition of a RIGHT given by God. They knew they had the right to carry a weapon, concealed or not, when they wanted. Are not people who agree to getting the permit also agreeing to, or consenting to, the infringement of their Second Amendment right?

There are other amendments being violated too, but I come to the question: So what? What’s the point? The point is understood when you realize government ownership of property and the destruction of the Bill of Rights are all a part of a greater plan. These issues are all connected to a greater goal of a global government, a global economy and the control of the commerce of every human on the planet.

The government of the beast will require every person in the world to join it. Revelation 13:16 says this world government will have the power to force ALL to join it. The America of our forefathers, where private property was truly privately owned, where wild animals were truly wild, and arms could be carried any way they thought best, is no more. Those rights we have surrendered to the government will never be returned, but don't despair.

We don’t need to stock up on gold, guns or ammo. Remember the warning found in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

What is the best thing you can do to prepare for the future? 1) Get saved, commit your heart and life to Jesus Christ and trust Him to be your King; 2) Get right, repent of your sins and live a life obedient to God’s Word; and 3) Get busy, the world is being overtaken by the evolutionists, they need to be told of the Creation, the Creator and the Coming Judgment.

Your Future (Part4 - What do we do?)

In this fourth and final part of this article, we are looking at what this means for Christians today? Should a Christian be implanted with an RFID device? If a Christian is implanted before the establishment of a world government, are they accepting the mark of the beast? What does the use of RFID say about the nearness of the rapture?

So here we are: RFID tags, RFID ink, RFID implants, RFID tattoos, WiFi antennas, Enhanced Driver’s Licenses, Biometric Identification, what do these changes mean for Christians and the church? The church of the future will be very different from the churches we see today. Christians, authentic Christians, will behave differently than they do today. Please keep in mind, we are venturing into the area of things on a very practical and personal level. I will share my ideas and opinions but they are in no way intended to provide legal or medical advice. I share with you my opinion on these matters, but it in no way is to be considered an edict or a commandment.

It is entirely possible a Christian will be required to carry an Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL). When the need arises, I see no issues with carrying and using one. I fully expect to use biometrics, like a fingerprint, for identification and personal information access. I may also, one day, carry a card with an RFID chip or ink, for purchasing items or for identification. I have already been fingerprinted and I have identification linked to them through my service in the US Army. There are churches today using fingerprints as a way to check in or register children and for giving. For me, these too pose no threat.

I draw the line on the insertion, or the tattooing, of an identifier either under or on my skin, for any purpose. It is one thing when a hospital places an RFID band on my wrist, it is another thing when they want to implant an RFID chip under my skin, or tattoo a RFID code on my skin. Yes, I know we do not have the one world government in place. Yes, I know the Beast is not the ruler of the world, at this time.

I also know the solemn warning from Revelation 14:9-11: “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”

I hate Satan, the False Prophet and the Beast and I refuse to receive anything into my skin that might cause someone else to think I support the mark of the Beast. One day my doctor may say I have to be implanted to monitor a health issue. He may also say if I do not consent to being implanted I can not be covered by my health insurance. I have already determined not to have anything implanted in me or tattooed on me resembling the mark of the Beast, no matter the cost, period.

Our lives will be changed by the use of RFID and biometric scanning. Many of our purchases will become more convenient and our lives simplified. All of our credit, debit and identification cards will be reduced to just one card. I understand some of this must happen. I imagine someone with the right understanding could make money from buying stocks in companies supporting the Beast. I have determined to avoid financial involvement in stocks, like biotech, helping to develop the mark of the Beast. I don’t invest in or support RFID ink companies, RFID chip companies or donate to non-profit groups supporting implanting RFID chips into humans. As much as possible, I don’t want to help the world system prepare for the one world government or one world religion.

Not only will we be living in a different world, but we will be attending a different church. The authentic church, may find a greater advantage without tax exemption. It is likely the church of tomorrow will forfeit their tax exempt status in order to continue preaching the Bible. We know the government will determine many parts of the Bible to be “hate speech,” they already do. Teaching state defined “hate speech” from the pulpit, will engage stiff penalties. Church members will no longer be allowed a tax deduction for giving to an unauthorized church. I expect many so-called Christians will not give if they can’t take the deduction.

The authentic church may function without owning property. Their members will personally own many of the items and allow them to be used by the church for ministry. There is a distinct advantage to the lack of church owned property. If the church owns nothing, the state will find it hard to seize it. “Church” will once again be defined by the assembly of believers and not the address of the building. A church will identify who you are and not where you go on a certain day.

Authentic church members will become engaged in the ministry on a personal level. No longer will church membership be defined as a name on a list or by a place in a pew. The authentic will have no fear to engage church discipline for unrighteous behavior. If someone is looking for entertainment they will be attending the government approved churches along with the unrepentant abortionists, homosexuals and whoremongers.

Notice how Jesus shows a transition in Matthew 24:7-9. In verse 7 Jesus says nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. Then in verse 9 all the nations are together. No longer are they warring with each other, now they have a common enemy – The Christian. Jesus said, “and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.” The hate will come from governments and society at large.

Society will push authentic, sin hating, Christ honoring, neighbor loving Christians into the classification of terrorist. Not because of any radical actions, but because of “radical” beliefs. Beliefs that say Jesus is the only way to God, all other belief systems are wrong, the Bible is God’s Holy Word, sin is wrong, and salvation requires repentance will be labeled as dangerous and destructive. The teaching of these values will ultimately lead the state to remove children from a Christian home.

As we watch government try to “fix” society by buying parts of the major banks and businesses, we must wonder what the cost will be in the future. Government never gives money without strings being attached. Government money leads to government control. We are journeying ever closer to a one world government, just as God said in the Bible.

It won’t be long until we see the unity of governments and commerce into one, and the unity of religion into one, but also the marriage of religion to government. Remember, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 tells us the one world ruler will sit in the Temple of God and be worshipped as God. Even now our world is preparing for that day. Maranatha!
