Essay 4: What is the Position of God in All This?

God wants people to be fully aware of Lucifer's involvement in history particularly in the last several hundred years. He wants people to understand the role Lucifer has played in the development of human history. The Creator wants people to know who it is that wants to replace Him as the ruler of the world.

It is time to pay attention to the real Lucifer. Too often he has been depicted in caricature form, long-tail, pointed ears, grotesque visage, preferably fire engine red in color, and on and on. Pithy sayings abound that treat him all too gently and which rarely if ever describe him for who he really is or what he has done to us.

If Lucifer ever gains control, he intends to close your churches and schools, destroy the love that exists within your family, cause distrust and hatred between you and your friends, obliterate laws and the justice system, allow criminals to be in charge of society, haul you off to years of confinement on a mere whim, brainwash your children and destroy every aspect of gentleness and fairness now existing, and finally to dictate every phase of your life. He has already done all of that and more through anti-democratic social movements of the last century and hundreds of millions of human beings have suffered all those assaults. Once you understand what he is capable of bringing about you will recognize the importance of confronting him as a reality.

The Nazis were far right fascists, and Stalin and his followers were far left Communists. Their ideologies were in direct conflict with each other. They went to war against each other. How is it that Lucifer took such an active part simultaneously in two such diametrically opposed social movements? How is it that he had a foot in both camps at the same time? It was because both were totally opposed to the democratic way of life. They were both useful for his purposes.

There is a characteristic that is part of his makeup that has not yet been prominently identified: Lucifer is thoroughly and completely anti-democratic. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has been working 24/7 to destroy the system which gives all of us our freedom, and most people are not yet aware of that.

Why is Lucifer so hell-bent on wanting to destroy democracy? Because it has blocked his path to world domination. Time after time he has organized, inspired, and manipulated anti-democratists and then moved them into positions aimed ultimately at destroying us, only to fail in those attempts.

Lucifer's ongoing and continuing offensive was carried forward again in the Korean War when the dictatorship of North Korea invaded South Korea, backed by the dictatorial powers of China and Russia. And again in Vietnam when the dictatorship of North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam, backed also by the dictatorial powers of China and Russia. Is all of this Lucifer's doing? Of course it is. His efforts to have his minions conquer the world so he can rule through them still continues today in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Our opponents in that part of the world have often proclaimed that their social system will eventually control the entire world.

Different ideologies, different strategy, different tactics, different cultures in the many different forms of dictatorship that have come at us one after another in the past. Jefferson warned us that would be the case.

Jefferson said:

"The grosser absurdities, such as hereditary magistracies we shall see exploded in our day.... but what is to be the substitute? This our children or grandchildren will answer."
~ February 6, 1795.

While the different forms of "substitute" tyrannies that Jefferson spoke of have changed over the years their substance never has.

Lincoln said:

"Turn it whatever way you will, whether it comes from the mouth of a King as an excuse for enslaving his own people, or from the mouth of the men of one race as a reason for enslaving the men of another race, it is still all the same old serpent."
~ July 10, 1858

Jefferson's "substitute" forms of tyranny that eventually came to power in the world have all been founded on the "same old" principle that Lincoln speaks of - the anti-democratic principle. While the democratic principle holds that all persons are entitled to equal treatment because all persons have "been endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights" the anti-democratic principle holds exactly the opposite: All persons are not entitled to equal treatment because there is no such thing as inalienable rights.

There are only two basic political principles in the world because there are only two basic forms of society in the world. Jefferson and Lincoln offer us a view of the world that ought to be adopted by all democratists.

Jefferson said:

"Societies exist under three forms: 1) without government, as among our Indians, 2) under governments wherein the will of everyone has a just influence.... 3) under governments of force. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep."
~ January 30, 1787

Lincoln said:

"A majority held in restraint by Constitutional checks and limitations... is the only true sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejects it does, of necessity, fly to anarchy or to despotism."
~ March 4, 1861

Jefferson and Lincoln agree that there are only two basic forms of society in the world - democratic and anti-democratic. Underpinning each of the two basic forms of society is a single but different basic principle upon which each is founded. The basic principle upon which the entire democratic system is based is the democratic principle and the basic principle upon which all "despotism" that Lincoln spoke of and all the "governments of force" that Jefferson spoke of are based is the anti-democratic principle.

Lincoln said:

"It is the eternal struggle between these principles, right and wrong throughout the world. They are the two principles that have stood face to face since the beginning of time."
~ October 15, 1858

And....

These two principles cannot stand together. They are as different as God and Mammon. Whoever holds to the one must despise the other."
~ October 16, 1854

Lucifer stands fully in the camp of our enemies. It is he that organizes them, motivates them and then sends them against us. He is the other side of the eternal struggle.
