The Explanation of Absolutely Everything

The radical truth is that Christianity isn't just one of many relgioins, it is TH#E truth that explains everything.  I didn't choose Christianity because I liked it but because I believe that it explains everything, and of course it is wrong to speak of choosing it at all since from beginning to end it shows that God does all the choosing.  That theme is made very sharp and clear in the Bible although in our own lives it may not seem to be quite so clear.  I can see my own situation as having grown to appreciate this or that fact about Christianity without recognizing that God was doing the choosing of me by leading me that way.  But scripture is very clear that God chose Abraham and guided his life to the promised land despite Abraham's many excursions off the path of God's leading.  God also chose Moses when He appeared in the burning bush and called him to rescue His people from Egypt.  God called Joshua to take over from Moses, then alcalled all the Judges to lead the people in their various situations.  He chose Samuel the prophet, then David the King and so on and so forth.  We may be under the illusion that we had some kind of role in our own embracing of Christianity but we're wrong and the sooner we get it straightened out the stronger our faith will be.

But also God is in charge of everything that happens on Earth to everybody.  Thinking of God as able to change His mind makes it seem as if He could make things happen some other way than they do but that really isn't possible if you understand at least a litte about the nature of God and the Moral Law.  Scripture says here and there that God repents of this or that plan, but it also says that God cannot change and if He is in fact perfection itself, which He is, how could He change?  the only thing that makes it seem as if He can change is our own mental inadequacy for understanding the nature of God.  Scripture uses language that takes our mental inadequacy into account so that we aren't overwhelmed with concepts so far out of our realm of thought we'd lose interet in trying to understand any of it.

So I'mm watching with knots in my stomach the way things are going in this world, which do seem to me to be unprecedented expreassions of sheer evil tghat couldn't possibily have ever existed before, but of course I don't have the ability toknow that and could be wrong.  But I know I am among millions of others who are experiencing things pretty much as I'm experiencing them.  This is what makes us believe the End is very close of course.  But our sense of history may be far enough off that we're wrong and it's not so close.  Ther'es no way to know.  We just feel it is very very close.

I don't want things to keep going in the direction they are going, and know I'm not alone in this either.  I don't want things to get THAT bad as fast as they seem to be getting that bad.  I keep hoping we'll get a repreieve, that God will turn it back again, that the good guys will vanquish the bad guys once again as happened in the second world war, return us to a ormal way of life.  What a relief that would be.  But even as any of us thinks that it must be that most of us know it isn't going to happen, it really is going to keep going in this direction whether we are able to handle it or not.  Maybe believers will be raptures off the planet raptureD, let's get that d in there, beofore it all happens but there are lots of people who will suffer terribly after we're gone and I hurt for them and don't want them to go through it, let alone end up in Hell at the end of all of it.

But look how things are going.  Good and evil are being reversed to a breathtaking degre these days, more than everybefore in history or so it seems from here.  Evil ideologies lead to evil acts but then instead of the good guys rising up to defeat them the evil ideologies only flourish and grown stronger.  Surelyh Nine Eleven should have led to the vanquiaing o fht bad guys but it didn't.  They only grew stronger in inflouence and popularity.  Surely the evil that was done against Israel by Hamas on October seventh would result in Israel's pusing them back into a position of inability to continue with such attacks, but no, there is this uprising of the evil position against Israel with enough power behind it to suppress Israel's atempts to defend itself.  Has this ever happened before?  Anything like this?

The evil ideologies are the work of Satah.  Of course the vast majoirity ty of people dn't believe in Satan, and even CHristians or Bible believers who do believe in Satan wmaynot believe he is a real being but more of a principle and so defang the concept in that way.  But heis presented as a being, a person, in scripture and a bible believer should khnow that he is a person from that fact.  In any case Satan is winning the Great Battle between good and evil at this point in history, beyhond anthing I can imagine ever happened, or know from my general overview of history ever happened.  The hardest part to take is knowing that people who ordinarily seem normal and resonble are taking the side of Satan's evil and jjustifying it as good.  This does involved their being ignorant of facts at least so that if they really know the truth about what led to pre present moment one can belive they wouldn't accept it all so readily.  Can hope they wsoldn't .    If they knew the truth history of the Israeli Paelestinian situation could they really side with Hamas aainst Israel as so mahy are doing?  Could they?  Well Ikeep hoping they couldn't.

Marxism appears to be Satan's most powerful weapon againt good these days, succeeding beyond anything I could ever have imagined.  I've seen it coming in slips and moments since the sixtiies but never imagined it could get this far and there are plenty who haven't seen it coming and only see it in its fullblown manifestation that seems to have come about almost overnight, a matter of a few years.  What can they make of it?  Ig you fifn'y  see it coming for decades already how could you know what to make of it?

And since the Left has always embraced it in its earlier stages how are they going to re cognize that it's their own favored ideology that is responsible for the evil that is comingdown on us now?    It all seems to them to be a matter of comjpassion triumphing over authoritarianism or the self interest of a ruling class of Oppressors.  How could that end up in the evil we are mired in now?

As usual they make it the fault of the designated Oppressor of course.  Today it's the White Race and even the Hamas position seems to some of them to be just an expression of a racial minority against thie evil whiteness.   Even the Jews are classes as whites although historically they were no doubt one of the brownigsh groups of the Middle East.  As of course would Jesus have been, just to answer that ridiculous idea that we all think He wsas whtie.  No, every culture makes Jesus into whatever fits their own image.

But some of us have been carried above our own tribal identities by the rising tide of civilization over the last couple of milllennia in the West.  That civilization that is about to go under thank sot the satanic Marxism that is calling the shots these days.

Islam is not just another religion, it is Satan's masterpiece of evil, murder set in religious terminology.  Marxism isn't just another philoszophical mistake, it's Satan's masterpiece of a wrecking ball against Christian civilization.

That is what the White Race seems to stand for in this context too I think, and I'm not the onlyh one who thinks it.  The whole racial mess that has been building up steam for decades now has finally reached its real goal in the vilification of the White RRace as responsible for all the evil on the earth.  That's because historically the whtie race has been the main carrier of Christianity.  It's not that Christianity is a racial thing at all, ikt's not, ub thistorically it was carried most successfully in Europe and spread through the English speaking world in particular.  This allows some to identify it wilth the white race although it's just a meaningless flueke that there is any connection at all.  Christianity is catholic, meaning universal, it has no skin color.    

But because it is associated with the white race, however unconsciously in many cases, an attack on the white race serves Satan nicely as the outer shell as it were of his real target which is biblical religion and the Biblbicfal God.  the Jews are the first line of representation of this true God but the White Race represents it more fullyyu.   It's really God and Christ Satan wants to wipe off the face of the Earth.

\\Unbeleivers aren't in a position to see things from this perspective, and even many Christians don't put the whole big picture together.    But this is the raidical fact of Christianity that it is THE truth and explains ALL of history.  There is a real battle between Good and Evil that has been going on since the Fall in Eden and will continue until Jesus returns but most people are confusedc because they aren't looking at it for a wide ehough angle to see it as it really  is.  they think Christianity, especially Protestant Christianity as they think of it, is just a sectarian expression of religion while Islam is just another relition and so is Catholicism.  I don't wse any way at this late date to get the truth out to enough people to make a difference.  it really is going to take the return of Jesus to do that.
