The Man of Lawlessness
2 Thessalonians 2
1Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers, 2not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has already come. 3Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed. 4He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
5Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you? 6And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.
9The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, 10and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. 11For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, 12in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.
Stand Firm
Our cultural Marxist/Globalist (rebranded Communist) governments seek to create the most intrusive totalitarian police state that the world has ever seen. Their “Great Reset”/”New World Order”, Agenda 2030, etc. are nothing less than the indexing of every human being and corralling them into compact densely populated cities where their every behavior is monitored in real time and operant conditioning is used to control that behavior. And the same methods that they’re using to create this control are being used to significantly reduce the size of the human population.
More people are finally awakening to the actual costs attached to all of the government regulations and welfare programs created in the last fifty or so years. People are discovering that government regulations designed to end abusive child labor practices, corporate fraud, pollution, and the exploitation of workers has actually destroyed the development of the work ethic in our youth and increased government corruption to epidemic proportions – thus ensuring that the only legal remedies are impotent and end up actually protecting the violator! Government welfare programs, far from being the temporary expedient to help individuals who’ve “fallen on hard times to get back on their feet”, have become the permanent sole source of income for entire generations of families - thus creating an unproductive underclass of government dependents. Our ruling elite actively seek to expand that dependent class by destroying people’s ability to make an independent living and expanding government largess to everyone. In other words, “all that free stuff wasn’t free!”
Now it’s too late. Our ruling elites now have enough power to openly carry out their plans. By destroying the nation-state, promoting “interdependence”, and centralizing control of our necessities, they’ve created the conditions to control most of the world. If we want freedom, we must once again become self-sufficient. That means we must produce all of our own clothing, energy, food, shelter, and transportation nationally (ALL foreign goods are luxuries)! Yes, that means that the standard of living that we’ve become accustomed to is gone forever – but then it’s also gone forever under our elites’ plans! At least, we’ll be free to innovate and to establish the highest possible standard of living that our sharp minds, resources, and hard work can create!
No matter how many people that we can get to protest on the streets, as long as our enemies control our necessities, we must lose in the end! And though protests certainly have value (we can see our strength in numbers), protests alone have NEVER brought down a single tyrannical government (note the massive demonstrations/protests against the Communist governments in East Germany – 1953, Hungry – 1956, Czechoslovakia – 1968, and China – 1989). The ONLY way to bring down a tyrannical government is to destroy its power! No, Gandhi’s non-violent protests didn’t end British rule in India – it was the Axis Powers and World War II that so weakened both the British and the French Empires that they imploded after World War II.
One form of Power is the ability to force someone to do something against their will. As noted above, the control of someone’s necessities of life gives one control over that person. Educating, training, etc., can also give the teacher power over the student. The “Frankfort School” (multi-national Communist activists and social scientists who fled to America from Nazi Germany) infiltrated American and European universities and indoctrinated students and professors in cultural Marxism. And, of course, simple physical violence is often sufficient to control someone’s behavior. To steal our enemies’ power, we must be independent of them, retrieve the education of our children from them, and destroy their ability to make war on us! We have the numbers! We must arm ourselves and those who enforce our enemies’ will must be eliminated if they cannot be brought over to our side!
