The River

Of America
post 106

For those of you who may argue that I am too preoccupied with “religion”, and that our national problems are tangible and therefore political, I suggest this is exactly what our enemy wants us to focus on.
While we are attempting to strengthen our defenses through Democrats throwing huge sums of money at their leaf of our political gate, and the Republicans trying to send more men of honor to their leaf of our gate, the enemy is diligently attacking at another place in our defenses.

Take the book “Rules For Radicals” by Saul Alinsky. *1
Go to Amazon.com and find the book. While on line you can open the book to review the dedication page. (made known to us by Glenn Beck)
I quote:

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins - or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom - Lucifer.

- Saul Alinsky”

It is curious that he would honor the arch enemy of not just any religion, but the specific enemy of the Christian religion of the Bible, which names Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12-15) and identifies him as the first rebel, (Ezekiel 28:11-17) and declares him to be the source of the worlds conflicts; (Job 1:6-12, Revelation 12:12-13,17)

Further, his very first sentence of his prologue centers on foundational concepts at least in part revolving around religion;

“The revolutionary force today has two targets, morals as well as material. Its young protagonists are one moment reminiscent of the idealistic early Christians, yet they also urge violence and cry, “Burn the system down!”

One target: Material.
The other: Morals.
We are battling the attack against our material, identified to the world as “Capitalism”.
But the Morals? Not just any morals, but the “idealistic morals of the early Christians” from which these radicals have patterned a portion of their attack.
that is the intent to influence and persuade.
Yet we apparently have no idea what they are talking about! *8

So while they openly are focused on destroying two areas of our defenses, we seem to be diligent to intentionally ignore one of those declared targets… Because our government claims we have to!

Right Wing America is now so brainwashed as to actually believe we can only implement whitewashed concepts of God’s ideals into our political solutions, while carefully avoiding any direct recognition of God himself.
This is the confusion so easily seen in the Tea Party Congressional hopeful Christine O’Donnell when in a recent interview on CNN, she said;

“My faith has matured over the years, but regardless of my personal faith, when I go down to Washington DC it is the Constitution that I will defend and it is by the Constitution that I will make all of my decisions…” *2

Her confusion was made more evident when asked the direct question; “Do you believe evolution is a myth?” she danced around the question until forced to declare; “Local schools should make that decision… What I believe is irrelevant.” *2

Don’t get me wrong, this woman is very well intended, and is apparently focused on bringing America back under the authority of the Constitution, a very honorable intention and purpose.
But as the host of the program showing the footage, Todd Friel pointed out so well; Our beliefs should and will inform our politics. Yet she apparently believes her faith must be set aside while considering political issue. *3

So while Saul Alinsky is openly battling religious values through morals, Miss O’Donnell is attempting to shore-up the empty riverbed assuring it will remain without water.

The Progressives have no intention of filling in our riverbed of faith, they have every intention of using that empty riverbed as their avenue of access.
We are already seeing the signs; as Nancy Pelosi preaching her confused gospel from the position as Speaker of the House *4 to our TV movies now promoting every vile religion and concept imaginable. witchcraft, communal marriages, Plural gods, drug induced teleportation, spirit possession, open Hedonism, homosexual lifestyles, etc, etc, etc. *5
Not long ago when Christianity was the religion of the nation, TV generally refused to allow anything Christian that did not show it in a bad light, which they did often.
Today all that has changed, and now the Christian religion is gone entirely,(except when butchered by the likes of Ms. Pelosi) and every strange religion is flooding our movies, represented as matter-of-fact acceptable in the light of “each to his own”.

The fall of America is shown in the prophetic history of the fall of Belshazzar’s Babylon.
Therefore by observing the details we can infer similar details for America’s demise;

The water of the river running through the city, sustained the land, the crops and the people of Babylon, as representation that America’s faith sustained our national health as it touched every facet of life in a similar way.
The Holy Ghost is often scripturally represented by “Living Water” or water that is flowing. The water of a river accurately fulfills this representation.*6

Therefore the water in the river of Belshazzar’s Babylon represents the Holy Ghost in America’s faith, the life source of America’s health through it’s people drawing from that source. America’s faith was not exclusive to one party; both Democrats and Republicans drew from the river of the Christian Faith, which gave them the sustenance to build the structure of a strong walled city (nation) and a strong gate (government).

By diverting the river the Persian general Darius and his men were able to crawl un-noticed under the wall through the dry riverbed to take the city without a fight.
The empty river represents America’s hollow faith without the Holy Ghost. Useless to us, yet quite valuable to the enemy described by Saul Alinsky’s book.

America has not noticed the significance of the declining flow because our Supreme Court has previously posted an ever increasing legal ribbon barricade to the river, stating “Do Not Cross”, significantly strengthened by their ruling in 1963-64 officially Separating the State from Accessing the River it called The Church. *7
Over time the water of the river has diminished until today our land is now dry, our crops withered, our people famished from a government sponsored drought of the Holy Spirit. And we have been without water for so long we have forgotten the days when the flow was strong and nourished the land. Now only the dry riverbed of religion remains and our children say; “It has always been dry, that's what the river is, silly."
They claim that our founders built this mighty nation in this desolate dry land, and there was no river flow then either. Therefore the abundant produce of the old days must have been acquired by steeling it from other poor nations!

Now with this concept in mind, we glean a bit more meaning behind the following passage;
“Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit” Matthew 12:31-33

America has long professed to be the fruit of a “good tree” as a Christian nation.
But now because the Holy Spirit is missing from our faith, our resulting corruption belies our words, and we are now known to the world for our corrupt fruit still pretending to be of the good tree.
God is the good tree and our putrid fruit tells the world the tree is bad.
THIS IS THE BLASPHEMY OF THE HOLY GHOST! This will not be forgiven.

Is this because God is mean and vengeful?
No.
It is because our self-created circumstances have now caused us to focus on the immediate danger at the political gate, and the river has been dry for so long we don’t actually believe God could or would send a flash flood to break down the diversion and fill our river again, even if we prayed.

So frankly, we are now a nation who no longer actually believes in a living God.
Our god has now long been an empty riverbed, with just as much life saving ability.
And this is why we will fall.
So is all surely lost? Is that it? Is the handwriting on the wall?
Certainly…
But for one slim possible option:

“The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.” Zechariah 1:1-6

This offer of God was to the Jews whom God has shown an excessive amount of longsuffering, and even a promise that he would not utterly destroy them, ever.

America has no such promise.
But knowing our destruction is certain, would it hurt to at least ask?
Who knows if God would have mercy and save us from ourselves!
Or are you so eager to be destroyed?

Whereas I actually think Miss O’Donnell’s perspectives are more sound than she is given credit, I think she has shown that she is under qualified for the intense scrutiny of the public forum. I was heartsick at the loud public laughter at her accurate challenge; “Where is Separation of Church and State found in the constitution?”
Her choice of delivery left her open to public ridicule when she was actually correct.

*5 the overwhelming paganism of religion is evidenced in an inordinate number of current TV shows such as “Caprica”. Even the forensic based show “Bones” has a regular mater of fact approach to the concept of discounting the Christian God, and promoting previously unacceptable lifestyles as above reproach.
America’s foundations are quickly being changed just as Obama promised.

*6 Living Water -
John 4:10-14 “Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water….Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
Jeremiah 2:13 “For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.”
Jeremiah 17:13 “O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed,
And they that depart from me (Jesus) shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.”

*8 Give up money, give up fame, give up science, give the earth itself and all it contains rather than do an immoral act. And never suppose that in any possible situation, or under any circumstances, it is best for you to do a dishonorable thing, however slightly so it may appear to you... From the practice of the purest virtue, you may be assured you will derive the most sublime comforts in every moment of life, and in the moment of death.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785
