Civil Warfare

Challenging government supremacy.

1Sam. 8:4-7,9-18: "Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came unto Samuel, to Ramah, and said unto him,'Lo! you are old and your sons walk not in your ways, now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.' But the thing was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel when they said 'give us a king to judge us'. So Samuel prayed unto Yahweh. And Yahweh said unto Samuel, hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto you, for not you have they rejected, but Me they have rejected from being king over them....
Now therefore hearken unto their voice-save that you enter protest against them the manner of the king who will reign over them.

So then Samuel spoke all the words of Yahweh unto the people who were asking of him a king. And he said,this will be the manner of the king who will reign over you:

Your sons will he take and appoint for himself as his charioteers and as his horsemen and they shall run before his chariots; and he will appoint for himself princes of thousands and princes of fifties and to plough his fields and to reap his harvests, and to make his weapons of war and the instruments of his chariots; and your daughters will he take as perfumers and cooks and bakers; and your fields and your vineyards and your oliveyards, the best of them, will he take and give to his servants; and your seed and your vineyards will he (take the)tithe and give to his courtiers and to his servants; and your men servants and your maidservants and your oxen, even the goodliest of your asses will he take and put them to his work. Your flocks will he (take the)tithe, and you yourselves shall become his servants.

THEN YOU WILL MAKE OUTCRY IN THAT DAY, BECAUSE OF YOUR KING WHOM YOU HAVE CHOSEN FOR YOURSELVES AND YAHWEH WILL NOT ANSWER YOU IN THAT DAY".

In 1955 a man named William F. Buckley founded a magazine called National Review. Civil warfare, which had been going on sporadically for some time, began to be more intensified with the beginning of the publication of this magazine. The warfare I am referring to is the warfare of worldviews-idealogical warfare, which is symbolically referred to in Daniel 7 as "the four winds of
the heavens bursting forth upon the great sea".

The focus of the warring parties is on one thing-government. One
"side' wants more government and the other "side"-represented by the initiation of the above magazine-want less of it. Both sides are fighting over a false outward government which God has already pronounced judgment on by bringing into existence another form of government founded on the Mind of His Son.
(Is. 9:6-7; Dan2:44-45;7:13-14,27)

The latter government grows and expands in secret without outward bombast. This government doesn't need to engage in the warfare with the residue of earthly government, which is already in it's death throes of killing and comitting suicide in the visible realm. This TRUE government is "self government"; individually manifested in those who are controlled by the Mind of Christ.

The governments of this world all carry within themselves the seed of their own destruction. The founders of the system of government that exists in this country rebelled against the king of England over the issue of unjust taxes. After defeating the British armies over this issue and forming a new government-supposedly "conceived in liberty"-the founders failed two tests sent to them by God via the so-called "Whiskey Rebellion" and "Shays Rebellion", by turning around and doing to their own fellow citizens what they said Britian did to them. They put both incidents down with the force of arms. So much for "conceived in liberty"...... and
"government of, for, and by the people".....

The foundling government lost whatever legitimacy it had when it used force in these incidents.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The wars this nation has been involved in are wars the government has either started or became involved in through pretext. This is so, because the power behind all earthly government is the adversary and that one never tells the truth and has been a liar since the beginning. Therefore all his mouthpieces who have written the so-called history of this nation, prop up and support the idol worship and glorification of certain men-making them "gods"; glorifying and perpetuating the system thereby.

This is the satanic method in all earthly authority figures manifested in governments. They "meddle" by the use of taxes, taking property, interfering with freedom of movement/beliefs, etc., looking for a violent response from those they meddle with; be it individuals or other nations; and use that response as an excuse to demonize, stir up hatred, called "national patriotism"- saying, "see!, I told you they were evil and plotting against/out to get us!" The results of this meddling is what is happening in the Middle East at present with the Islamic peoples. The US has been meddling over there for decades and prior to that was the British and in the present time, as the negro preacher said, "the chickens have come home to roost".

Government does corporately what women do individually.....
They manipulate and meddle and when they get a response to said meddling/manipulation in a negative way, they point the finger saying "it's YOUR fault!!"

All earthly government eventually leads to coercive power by the few and slavery for the many. There are no exceptions.
