Heading for the World Wide Government

If you read the Bible, especially in Daniel and many New Testament passages, which I know a lot of you have, you will know that the world is destined for a global government. The Democrats and Republicans of the last 28 years have been steering our government to be part of a socialistic, homogeneous world government, trying to make everything the same and downplay any religious beliefs that will separate people. But that is not the description in the Bible. It is described as Iron mixed with clay definitely not homogeneous. Socialism is great for programs and government aid but is weak in economy and military might. The pure iron in the Bible is used to describe the Rome of old, a Republic of great military and economic strength. It lasted the longest of the empires described before the last great world wide government. So this shift in the political scene with Trump is destiny. He is talking about the Iron of the last government but he is not eradicating all of the socialist part of our government, just reigning it in. He is beginning a trend that will spread to all of the Western Countries and eventually create the last great empire of Iron and Clay. Our hope is not in mankind but in the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to concentrate on following Him and being ready for His return. Look up as redemption draws near.

Candidate Musing, Could a Revival be Coming?

Just sayin' out of something interesting ...Has anyone noticed how much Donald Trump looks like Caesar Augustus and Trump's daughter, Ivanka, looks like Augustus' daughter, Julia?  Here are a few images I pulled off the internet the other day to compare.  To me, Trump and his daughter, Invanka look Claudian.

  

I found some more statues of Cesar Augustus that reminded me of Trump. Granted, politicians and leaders do a lot of pointing but the bottom 2 are pretty interesting in that the finger held up is very Trump and Cesar Augustus was commemorated in a statue with the same pointing hand. 









Comparing Trump's similarities to Augustus is not me saying that I think he is going to be a king, but that he is demonstrating strong leadership qualities. All I thought of Trump before this campaign was that he was a rich playboy that had a funny hairdo. When I saw the statue of Augustus standing with the little cupid, which is the Roman god Venus' son, at his feet, I read that his patron God was Venus. His great uncle, Julius Caesar claimed to be descendant of her. When I read about Venus, this is what she stood for in the Roman culture: love, beauty, sex, fertility, prosperity and desire. Hmmm, that sounds a lot like Trump too. Could be what some people may find distasteful about him, 3 marriages with "trophy wives", cheated on his wives, super wealthy etc. Well Augustus had 3 wives, cheated on them and was very wealthy but he was a great leader and made Rome very powerful. He used his vast wealth to help the people and he forgave a lot of taxes so they could build their farms and business again. He was extremely popular with the people and was a military genius. He made Rome's armies very strong and was the first to give their soldiers the benefit of retirement.  He really didn't want the position, but the people made him the first Emperor of Rome.  


Rome had been a republic for about 500 years and it was failing and their was lots of crime and financial troubles.  Under his rule he brought peace and prosperity to the nation.  I realized you don't have to be sexually moral to be noble and care for a country.  He did see that the extreme sexual immorality of the ruling class was destroying the people.  He did try to legislate a moral reform, but was unsuccessful.     I found this article very interesting and informative:

After reading this article I realized what Augustus did for Rome, aided in the early spread of the Gospel. He united the empire, calmed the civil unrest and made Rome great. Our country is in a lot of civil unrest and disillusionment with how the government is being run.  

Polychrist Syncretism

The founders of our nation were not perfect, but they were very intelligent men that understood human nature, and history. They had the benefit of hind sight, they were able to see the noble attributes of the civilizations of the past, and also the failures. They chose to pattern their new government system after the noblest, and most successful system that they could find throughout history, the one that had been perfectly tailored for liberty and freedom, and their choice was the old Republic of Rome, before it became an empire. 

Rome did not start out as a republic, but rather a monarchy. It was a monarchy for 250 years, and then a republic for about 500 years, and then a empire for the remaining 450 years until it was dismembered by turmoil.

It was the republic system that made Rome extremely strong, but the conversion to an empire started its slow decline, and the founders of our nation considered this when they wrote the fail-safes into the foundation so that it would be impossible for a popular political figure to acquire that much power in a constitutional atmosphere. 

Even in Rome's beginning as a monarchy it was strong, and it grew, but when it became a republic it was practicing representative government, and syncretism in its religious system which made it extremely cohesive,and alluring, which created a very conducive environment for solid growth. 

But what is syncretism? Why is it so important for creating a stable National System? 

Two Sides of the Coin of Destiny

In every conflict there are at least two opposing sides, and there are those who encourage it, and profit because of the conflict, the powers who would desire to fan the flames of conflict in order to create schemes that they can use to manipulate, and fabricate an atmosphere in which they can achieve their agendas.

In our time now we are seeing the fruition of the seeds of ancient conflicts that have been growing, and cultivated for centuries.  We are seeing conflict forming, and the polarization of the modern world.  Ancient conflicts, hatreds, bitterness, and feuding, that has been cultivated, orchestrated, and refined to produce the desired effect for the enemies of Truth.

We see the polarization of North, and South beginning with the collapse of Alexander's empire, and the formation of the various Kingdoms that would eventually evolve into two great empires, one in the northern regions, and the other in the southern regions.  The two great Empires having two distinct, and diametrically opposed ideologies.  The perfect situation, and atmosphere for conflict.
