I see God's way of "trying" to wake up the sleeping Church is now? If she doesn't awake, put on the whole armour and go to war, we'll find ourselves being completely overtaken by the dark forces of evil. We're not too far from that now.
Political and Religious Perverts.
These perverts are selling Nagaland down the river, as the old saying goes. What a ghostly, obscene history is that of secret diplomacy! Fraud and deceit have attained a disastrous perfection in our sick generation. This is all because the Christian Church has not kept her first love - she has not contended for the truth nor fought the good tight of faith. The Church has, just as did Israel of old, gone a whoring after pagan Gods and Goddesses. In so doing, evil and evil men have quickly filled the void, and this, in turn, has cost the lives of literally thousands and thousands of souls thru the years. Don't forget, one can die morally as well as physically.
Gilded Slaughter Houses.
Both religion and politics are killer! Churches and political buildings are gilded slaughter houses! Don't think I'm crazy: They will souls as well as bodies. Read your history books (i.e., the good and true ones). They tell of the dark secrets of satanic conclaves (that many times pose as pro-God!). But such sinister activities are NOT HID from the Almighty. With all this PC (Political Correct) re-imaging of the Gospel, should it surprise us that the Church is on its way to HELL? Some of the things now done in the name of "Jesus" and "God" are nothing short of sorcery and witchcraft. With all this "positive thinkers" behind pulpits and educators' desks, is it any wonder that the Human Potential Movement is taking stupid Churchgoers into a "high self-consciousness"? Higher self? The Bible tells us to mortify, crucify, and deny SELF! Well, the whorish Church of today is simply left to ambitious tyrants who make small (some large!) fortunes off of lies.
Predatory Beast.
The political and religious arenas are packed with them. But take heed all their predatory stragems will prove to be their own destruction (remember Sennacherib?). "Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou earnest" (Isa.37:29). The brutal, boasting "military buccaneer" was ignominiously returned home, and died there!
God Knows!
He knows the hearts and minds of ALL men. He knows about all these conspiracies to overthrow HIM! So religionists and politically correct idiots have charismatic personalities which they ostentatiously assume to make then have superior morality. This fools most dumb folks. Yet with all their fake, "grandeur performances", they never deceive our God! NEVER. Isaiah 66: 18 says, "for I know their works and thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory". Sometimes God's glory is in the form of his wrath, his judgments.
God's Surveillance
Superior to man's ways, the Lord's surveillance over individuals, thrones and empires never grow outdated, obsolete or inefficient. Thus men and nations will always be justly judged by God's universal and eternal laws-judged either by their violation of or obedience to them. The LORD possesses book of remembrance. All men are naked before him (homos may like that!). No one can hid their sin (sins (read Psalm 7:9).
Cover of Dark
Our God has nocturnal attribute in the sense that he "sees in the dark" as well as in the light. Evil men with evil ways, think they can conceal themselves and they steal out into the grass darkness and act with much impurity. But "the footsteps pf our phantom God" are more silent than our own. No darkness, cove or concealment can hide us; no disguise can enable our falsity, fakery of foulness to deceive God's divine vision, to escape his righteous avenging hand.
Without the Dark
As stated before, some conspiracies are head on or open, "that is, "Without the dark". One author wrote, "When Comte was elaborating his New Religion, he felt the need of a substitute for the discarded doctrine of the divine omnipresence (everywhere) and omniscience (known all), and so he enjoined as one of his fundamental maxims, 'Live without concealment'.”In other words, he combined the concept of omnipresence and omniscience into his maxim. Indeed LIVE WITHOUT CONCEALMENT! There you have it, bold and fearless.
Retribution
Biblical Christianity introduced the concept and reality of retribution. It is regarded by some as "profoundly original". I personally believe this some pagans are familiar with an idea that the committing of small or great crimes, or the omitting of small or great duties, may cause them "reprimand" in the here after, but their immature understanding exercise very little influence over their daily lives. The Bible teaches it clearly: that all men will give an account to God for their works or lack of them. Today small or great sins or crimes scarcely elicit even a serious comment from anyone-because there are so many sins and crimes committed, who even takes notice? Trust me, the Bible teaches eternal/everlasting condemnation beyond the grave. If more Christians would keep their lives IN CHRIST! If more Christians would believe and teach/preach this Bible FACT, we would see a better world. The thought of an enticing surprise nor an irresistible seducement.
One Who Watches
The omnipresent one watches-not over the wicked (in the sense I am speaking of), but over his own people for safeguarding, as Job 23:10 testifies. The Psalmist also tells of "divine shadowing" and of the almighty who is conversant with the Psalmist's down sitting and 'uprising" and even all his ways", and they speaks with delight of this great fact, not with disgust. Psalms 139:5 says, "thou has beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me." Praise God! The Lord always watches over his own. As I have traveled this world in the course of his business, he has protected me from much trouble, sickness, even death. The same goes for living here in Nagaland-we've had lots of enemies who would LOVE to see harm, even death, come my/our way, but God has kept us, God is GOOD TO US! Amen!
The Way of the Just
Isaiah 26:7 states, "The way of the just is uprightness: thou that act upright dost direct (level) the path of the just". I have personally found this to be true, time and time again. And we have had and have conspiracies against us… but he sees us through them all.
In Closing
We may always confidently persuade our "head and heart" of God's Divine forbearance and clemency, particularly when we remember the ultimate perfection and constant protection of our Lord's love. If we walk uprightly, we should not fear the all knowing observant gaze of our saviour, for his overshadowing ways are not always austere (severe) and threatening to his own, but they are directive and encouraging and instructive. However, if we in sweet deceit", we can always expect the opposite. Amen.
