THE TRUTH IS NOT FOR EVERYONE...

By Thomas N. Tabback

The Truth is that our nation is on the brink of disaster by the hand of a government monarchy, which includes both parties.

The Truth is that empowering one party over the other, one election cycle after another, will never usher in real change, and change is needed.

The Truth is that, unlike the days when Christ walked the earth, We The People vote our Caesar’s into office.

The Truth is that We The Voters shall be held to account for the evil committed by those whom we empower through our votes.

The Truth is that We The People must cease voting for the lesser of two evils, lest America progressively become evil herself.

The Truth is that those who chastise, “You’re throwing your vote away,” are without Faith, for the clay belongs not to the earth, but to the Maker’s hands.

The Truth is that when no good option is presented, We The People must write in CHRIST THE LORD, for then none shall say we are not a Christian nation, a people worthy of the Maker’s blessings.

Then and only then, will the restoration of our nation begin.

For generation upon generation We The People have been taught to place our faith in one of two political parties. They have told us, “We are your party. We will fight for you!” Nonetheless, when their chosen banner carrier doesn’t meet muster with We The People, they say, “Don’t throw away your vote!” The resulting choice on the ballot, which we have complacently accepted for far too long, is the lesser of two evils.

The harsh Truth that We The People must accept is that unless we start doing what they may regard as heresy, we will never reclaim our country. The Truth is that our fight to take back America is not about something as shallow as politics or ideology, rather it is a conflict between right and wrong, good versus evil, and above all it is about One Nation Under God. At the root of all that ails America persists a blindness to the Lord’s Truth. If only We The People would invite God back onto our soil and back within our public square, then everything would right itself, for that is the reward He bestows upon His people.

In our Democratic Republic, this must begin with We The People electing only those upon whose hearts the Lord’s Law is written. This is not only an act of faith, but a practical measure that will insure the prosperity of our nation once more. You see, representatives of the people who love and fear the Lord will not oppress His people, who are their brothers and sisters. Such individuals will not subject the Lord’s people to injustices, for fear of the Lord’s reproach. Such individuals, who are subject to the Lord, will not hold themselves in such high esteem that they believe themselves indispensible, and thus should hold office indefinitely. Such individuals will not stand idly by while others covet the ways of other nations, but will instead rise up like lions to preserve our nation set apart, our land of promise, our One Nation Under God, With Liberty And Justice For All.

Remember, a government which controls is a government that oppresses, and a government that oppresses is a government capable of unspeakable evil. Man has always had a propensity towards evil. Such is our very nature. It is only our resistance to temptation, fortified by God, by which we abstain from evil. But how long have each and every one of us been empowering the lesser of? How much evil has been set loose because We The People foolishly accepted only the choices given? Are we such children that we can find no other way? Have we forgotten what a mustard seed can do?

Have you ever considered the parallels between America and the biblical land of Israel and Judea? The biblical Conquest of Israel was engaged by thirteen tribes of Israel—remember that Joseph’s sons, Ephraim and Manasseh were each apportioned an equal share of the land, having been adopted as sons by Jacob. How many colonies fought to establish the United States of America? At first, Israel was a near model of our democratic republic, in a tribal sense. The tribes were divided by family, then overseen by captains, headed by a tribal patriarch, and all equally answerable to the Laws of Moses under the authority of Judges. However, after years of rest from war and season upon season of bountiful harvest, there came upon Israel a famine, as related in the book of Ruth. Then the Philistines flexed their muscles and threatened Israel’s borders. Despite the wisdom and deliverance of the prophet Samuel, the people of Israel cried out for a king. They said, “Make us like the other nations.”

And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
I Samuel 8:7

Look back on our history in this country. Do you remember a famine of biblical proportions? Do they still teach our children about the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl of the 1930’s? Did you know that this famine, just as in biblical times, was suffered throughout the world, in Europe, South America, Africa and Asia? Now, consider the mother of all American entitlements—Social Security, and trace it back to its roots. The father of this American introduction to socialism was none other than Franklin D. Roosevelt, our 32nd President and the first to dishonor the two-term example set by Washington. Is this indicative of a steward of We The People, or a king?

When faced with great hardship, the hearts of the people of the earth will melt, save those who delight in the Lord. When all places of refuge have fallen and enemies abound, the people will seek the strong man to deliver them, save those who delight in the Lord. When the deliverers called up by the earth falter and are defeated, only then do the people not merely see, but perceive, not merely listen, but understand.

We today are a part of a cycle that culminates over many generations, for faith born out of severe hardship is a house built upon a solid rock. However, even rock can be reduced to sand, given enough time and exposure to the elements. The Truth is that We The People have been living under the age of kings for many generations, kings appointed by our fathers and mothers. The Truth is that We The People continue to call out for these kings, for that is the example by which we have learned. The Truth is that the Lord Almighty has given unto us exactly what we have asked, for we have rejected Him. Only now do some of us awake, but in Truth, we still are few, for the many seek not the Lord, but a king after their own liking. This is why I have said, “We must awaken our brothers and sisters who remain asleep, those who are yet lost in the dark.” If we do not call them to the light, who will? I promise you that we who bear the Lord’s Law upon our hearts and fail to wave the torch of Truth will find the days of judgment more intolerable than those who never saw the light.

When Christ walked the earth, Judeans had no power over Caesar. Caesar was appointed by means beyond their control, and thus he used his wealth and power as he saw fit, not by leave of the people. To this end Christ said, “Give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, but give unto God what is God’s.” When enough of the people had given God what was His, the indomitable Roman Empire and the mighty hand of Caesar were quelled, not by force of arms, but by the will of the Almighty.

Long have We The People voted our Caesars into office. Long have we empowered worldly men and women of greed and vice, and by doing so have unwittingly born the blood of their crimes upon our own hands. Did not the power of the state decree that prayer to God is no longer welcomed in our public schools? Did not the state decree that a memorial of God’s Commandments is not welcomed in our courts of law and justice. Did not the state decree that the ways of Sodom and Gomorrah should be accepted and thus encouraged? Did not the state decree that causing death to the unborn is not murder, but a right? Did not the state require We The People to deny Christ, for the day of his birth has become an offense to the public?

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
Matthew 18:7

We The People, regardless of party or ideology have been complacent and complicit in reducing our Promised Land from its lighted stand upon the crest of the hill to the shadowy foot of the slopes, heading ever downward. Is this not the lesson of ancient Israel set before us as a witness unto the offenses We The People accept and some condone even now? Just when was it that Americans ceased looking after one another in favor of empowering the state to do so, as though the state is a trustworthy caregiver? Did millions of Ukrainians starving to death amidst the great famine of the 1930’s, their Holodomor, find favor in the sight of Stalin, their king?

When disaster strikes our land, such as it did on 9/11, with Hurricane Katrina or the current woes in our economy and in drought-parched fields across the heartland of America, do you believe these things to be random and without purpose? Remember Moses and the people of Israel during their trials in the wilderness. Remember Elijah and his trials under the hand of Ahab, King of Israel and his wife Jezebel the servant of Baal. Remember Christ as He set forth The Way, in spite of the two parties of that day, the Pharisees and Sadducees. They conspired to kill him and succeeded by the will of the people that the words of the prophets might be fulfilled. Yes, by the will of the people.

Not long after Christ’s crucifixion, the Jews rebelled against Rome. Their cause was just, but unlike the Maccabean revolt more than a century before, they were crushed, ending with the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and a mass Jewish suicide at the fortress of Masada. Why did the Lord’s people fail to liberate themselves? Because the Lord had been, quite literally, cast out of their public square.

Take a moment and consider the depths to which we have descended as a nation . . .

We The People have been complicit in all that has gone wrong in our nation. We have allowed our leaders to somehow declare Almighty God, the Creator of all things, the Master of all clay, inconvenient and unwelcomed for matters of state. We have been complacent and satisfied to cleave to the façades and fleeting comforts of our surroundings. It is these idols we worship that have become so indispensable to us, and how happy We The People are to rejoice in emptiness. How fulfilled we are in the darkness, comforted by our many treasures of the earth.

How long before our light has gone out, and what then will become of the rest of the world? Can anything substitute for the light of the sun? Can any food from the earth or any intoxicating drug of man fulfill? It is said that when the iniquity of the land is full, then will come the judgment. Thus, with sober reflection, we must ask ourselves how full is the iniquity of our land of the free and home of the brave? How swift will come our judgment, and will any of the things we so crave be left standing?

If We The People are to make straight the way of our nation once more, we must accept the Truth. The Truth is that We The People can never again vote for the lesser of two evils, lest we be handed over to our enemies, in order that all who see and hear may know what happens when the Lord’s people shun Him. The Truth is that our system of government has been rigged to inspire choices of the “lesser of” and so we must be resolute. A bad tree cannot bring forth good fruit. It must be uprooted and thrown into the fire, lest it corrupt the entire orchard. This is why, when given no good choice, there can only be one right choice, which is to VOTE FOR CHRIST THE LORD. Write it in, write it in BOLD letters so that it may be seen, and do it with confidence so that He who sees and knows all may know the resolve in your heart and bless you by your measure of faith.

They will chastise us if we do this thing. The fools will celebrate our “wasted votes” and the lost will hate us for it. Some will decry our faith in Christ, but are they so anxious to vote for the lesser of? Should not every Christian and Jew commend our country’s fate into the Lord’s hands, for do we not all believe that His Messiah will come, whether in the first, if not the last?

I solemnly bear the Truth, for this is the only way to restore our great nation. You must understand that the kings and queens we have set over us will never listen, for it is not in their nature. Their hearts are calloused and hardened like unto Pharaoh’s. They will not heed our calls nor our complaints, for they care not. They love the blessings of the earth and not the blessings of the Lord. Only We The Believers can turn aside the wrath and desolation that lay before us, lest the words of the prophet ring true once more, just as it did for Israel:

Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:

Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 14:13-14

As surely as the Lord lives, We The People will reap what we sow. So let us sow fruits of righteousness once more. Let us realize the dream of the Promised Land, such as it was dreamed for us by our forefathers. Let us turn our backs upon they who led us astray and instead SEEK THE LORD’S FACE and beseech his healing hand. Let us no longer bow down to those who sit upon high thrones carved out by human hands, but instead kneel in faith before the Lord of all heaven and earth. He is real, His dominion is absolute, His hand is just. Let no one say that the God Most High does not part the waters of the deep for His people. Let no one say that He does not bring down the walls of the great fortress for His people. Let no one say that He cannot restore our beloved nation to its place upon the hill to shine again, if We The American People vote for Him.

God Bless and Always Speak The Truth,

What's next?
Writing letters to and contacting our congressmen is useless at this point - they've not been listening for some time now. Unrest in the 'masses' is growing.... but thus far is just a buzzing in their ears.


What's left to do???

Good Article
This is the kind of straight forward talk, and written articles that we need to help put our nation back on track. We must do all that we can, while relying on God to show us the way that we should go to preserve our Constitution, and Nation for us, and our children.

God Bless America!
