You have heard the statement that “for every action there is an equal reaction,” or something similar to that. The contrast of good versus evil fits in that category of discussions. We can see the truths of John 10:10 reflected in current events regularly. That Scripture says this: “The thief only comes to steal and to kill and to destroy, but I am come that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” These are the words of Jesus.

Since the days of Cain and Abel, we have seen these contrasting positions. It became magnified at the Tower of Babel and has been expanding since that time. That Tower was constructed in the plains of Shinar in Assyria, the first head of the beast John saw in his account in Revelation 13. It was the first kingdom to rule the known world. Note that John saw a beast of seven heads, but the seventh was not yet in existence.

In these last days of this age we are seeing and hearing of a drive toward a one world government that will be comprised of ten designated regions in which the world will be divided. The United States’ border problems actually stem from the dedicated commitment to that regional designation that is being developed.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) set up the North American Union as one region, the South American Union as another, the European Union, etc. for a total of ten across the world. If you have wondered why there is no closed border no matter who is in the oval office or in Congress, this is as close a possibility as exists. [1]

In this context the following quote from the memoirs of David Rockefeller bears repeating:

“For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents …to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure–one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” —David Rockefeller, Memoirs.

In the final speech of his presidency, George H. W. Bush, along with many others, waxed eloquent on the wonders and grandeur of the coming New World Order, which he assured his audience, “It will be successful.” [2]

Likewise, Henry Kissinger expressed a hopeful note of expectancy that Obama’s election in 2008 would be the lead-in to a New World Order. [3]

In his speech in Ethiopia, at the end of his African tour in July, 2015, President Barack Obama was in a relaxed mood toward the end of it. He toyed with the fact that he is not allowed by the Constitution to run for a third term as president, but he was sure that if he could run, he would win it.

It brought to mind the twenty-one times he spoke of the lack of constitutional authority that held him back from declaring amnesty for the illegal aliens in America. Then, he abruptly issued an executive order that prohibits their deportation, which most claim is, in fact, illegal. Now, is he toying with issuing an executive order to become the U.S. dictator? [4]

A world government cannot have any single nation retain its sovereignty, not even the United States. [5] Therefore, these men, and those backing them, have intentions that are not that of returning the nation to the status established by our Founding Fathers. Any search of the Internet with pertinent keywords will turn up a multitude of references supporting this now “not-so-secret” intention of the global elite.

There was a time not so long ago that any mention of such things on a radio talk show would get the caller kicked off the program with an exclamation such as, “Get off my program, you nut-case!” Another quote from the memoirs of David Rockefeller is this: “It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years.”

So the complicity and cooperation of mainstream media, business leaders and government officials have been in full force for decades. The late Jim Tucker, investigative reporter with American Free Press and formerly The Spotlight, made it his prime goal to nose out the secret annual meetings of the global elite, the Bilderbergers, and expose them, their membership and their agenda. This link reveals astounding details of the real power brokers who are behind the scenes. [6]

It was after the end of the Cold War with Russia that he reported on their frenzied concern for what they were going to concentrate on in order to extract revenues from the populations of the world. They ultimately hit upon “global warming,” a world conference was set up in Brazil, Argentina, and the program was underway. Now, having provided millions for Al Gore, it is known as “climate change” and both President Obama and Pope Francis maintain that it is the world’s greatest threat!

It turns out to be an ideal method of destroying the economy and the well-being of middle-class Americans while providing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other related governmental agencies, abundant fodder to expand their bureaucratic tentacles like an octopus engulfing its prey. Comments drifting out from employees of such offices, like, “If they find this little fish not really extinct, we will find another one,” tends to define the character of their purposes.

The farther one looks into this arena, the more it is like looking into a black hole, a bottomless pit of dark and devilish evil that is filled with the deepest immorality, occultism and Luciferian worship. To realize that some of the highest, well-known people of the world are part and parcel of this New World Order is more than one can even imagine.

Do a search for the membership list of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the feeder group for upper levels of the global elite, and check it out. You will find some strange member relationships that will raise your eyebrows, to say the least. There is no opposition party situation evident in those ranks. [7]

The question then remains: Is this the New World Order that you prefer?

Or, is there one that is filled with hope, goodness, righteousness, morality, purity, mercy and lovingkindness…and the love of God? Fortunately, yes, there is such a one, soon coming into reality. It is announced in Revelation 20, described in Zechariah 14, while Isaiah 65:25 tells us this:

“‘The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,’
says the Lord.”

It will run for a thousand years. It will be a theocracy under the kingship of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who will rule the nations of the earth with a rod of iron from the throne of David in the city of Zion, Jerusalem, in Israel.

Satan will be bound with chains in the bottomless pit for that duration, and there will be peace on earth. It will be a world government, headed up by the Sovereign of the universe. Disobedience will be expressed by some, but punishment will be exacted. Yet, at the end of that time, Satan is loosed and he will quickly round up an army to confront the Sovereign Judge who will conquer that opposition with the Word of His mouth and close out that era of mortal human history, proving once again that mankind cannot endure without God’s intervention and redemption.

Those who belong to the Lord by having accepted Jesus into their lives now, even today, will share in this New World Order in service to Him and will be with Him in all eternity!

The Psalmist adds to that thought “…it gives understanding to the simple” (Psalm 119:130). The word “simple” at first seems offensive, but if we recognize that this one is related to “uncomplicated,” it makes a lot of sense. Years ago I came across a small book written by a man whose academic credentials listed by degree letters reached almost across the cover.

His contention in the book was that the later writers of the gospels corrupted the writings of those first gospel accounts. For example, when John wrote of Jesus being the Word of God, even God in the flesh, near the end of the first century, he contradicted the account given by Matthew or Mark, who presented Jesus as the King of the Jews and the servant of Man.

It appears that with all of his academic achievements, he had not discovered that the Holy Spirit motivated those men to write their accounts, just as Peter related how the Old Testament writings came about:

“For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

“And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:16-21).

The writer of Psalm 119 makes an astounding declaration! Look at this:

“I have more understanding than all my teachers, for Your testimonies aremy meditation” (Psalm 119:99).

And we ask, “How can that be?” Perhaps the same One who prompted him to write that also was telling him this:

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10).

It is interesting how Paul recognizes the qualities of character that was in the Corinthians because the Holy Spirit dwelt in them, as believers, in spite of how carnally they lived:

“I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus,  that you were enriched in everything by Him, in all utterance and all knowledge” (1 Corinthians 1:4-5).

In that opening verse of this article, “simple” does not mean “dumb” or “brain-dead.” Given the only way possible for a person to understand the Word of God is to be taught by the Holy Spirit, it may well mean “simply” to submitting to that Teacher’s tutoring. Consider this promiser Jesus gave His disciples as He neared His crucifixion:

“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come” (John 16:13).

Because of that promise of an indwelling Comforter He had made earlier…:

“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever–the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you” (John 14:16-17)…

Jesus could make this declaration:

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father” (John 14:12).

It comes down to the conclusion that flesh and blood of the Adam nature can contribute nothing—NOTHING—to the true work of God, and He is not going to share His glory with Man.

I have long contended and believe it to be so, that we have had only two things in the world that are, at the same time, both physical and spiritual–the person of Christ in human body form and the written or printed Word of God. Jesus has ascended into heaven, yet we still have the Word of God, the Holy Bible. Some might say that the born-again believer is also like that, both physical and spiritual, but in that case the physical body is corrupted with the sin of Adam.

In a strange and unique way, the words of the Bible can penetrate a person’s conscience and change his life. Here are some examples of how the Bible makes those claims of itself, like no other book can do:

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).

“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, and there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account” (Hebrews 4:12-13).

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror, for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was” (James 1:22-24).

“…having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever” (1 Peter 1:23).

“So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified
(Acts 20:32).

In the verses above, the writer of Hebrews says the Word pierces into the innermost part of a person’s being; Peter tells us that we are born again by the instrumentation of the Word; and Paul commends to us that Word because it will build us up spiritually and accumulate a spiritual heritage for our account in heaven. Paul also reveals that faith, itself, is generated by exposure to the Word of God, and in another place, he says it is the sword of the Spirit.

If  the content of this article so far, as it points toward enlightenment of the truth, has not raised a question in your mind, then let me suggest one: Why is it that some read and study the Scriptures, yet come up with positions as far apart as daylight is from dark?

There are several possibilities I can see that would cause that end result: Pre-conceived ideas of what the truth is; lack of understanding what is the nature of the Word of God; lack of understanding what is the nature of God; lack of understanding what is the broad plan of God for the ages.

Much of the difficulty would be solved if there is established a firm and sure benchmark or two which would always keep the discovered biblical principles in balance with each other.  One of these has to do with the nature of God, and I have found that Numbers 23:19 spells it out clearly:

“God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?”

And for those who would complain that that’s taken out of context, make a note that the attributes of God are never out of context. A second benchmark is found in 2 Timothy 3:16-17:

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

Note that the inspired Word of God accomplishes four basic and foundational things:

·         It reveals the truth of God—doctrine;

·         That revealed truth should rebuke any deviation from the truth—the reproof;

·         It will provide the proper realignment with the truth—the correction;

·         It will provide the necessary information to enable one to live according to the truth of God—the instruction in righteousness.

Then, one who would be a man of God  will be adequately fortified to accomplish what God has for him to do—and be.

The first Bible conference I attended many years ago gave me a simple Bible study outline that works for a single verse, a larger context, a chapter, and perhaps even a book of the Bible. It has four basic questions to be answered:

1.      What does the verse say? (Paraphrase it in your own words, or for larger passages, outline it.)

2.      What does it say that I don’t understand? (What you might not understand, or even a question someone else might have. Seeking to answer the questions is implied.)

3.      Where else does the Bible speak of this? (Cross-references that speak of this topic.)

4.      What does it say to me? (What applications do I make from this truth?)

It is said that the Bible is its own best commentary, and it has reason to be, having been formulated over many years with the writings of many different people from different cultures. Yet it does not vary in the continuity of its central theme and message. (Note that no mention of going to an outside commentary or the teaching of the “early church fathers” is made.)

If a student ever comes to a place where it looks like God is contradicting Himself, it is time to fall back on those benchmarks I mentioned earlier. God does not lie, He does not change His plan, and the Word is inspired by Him. It is incredible, yet unrealistic, that in some circles more unquestioned authenticity is given to that one remaining ancient copy of the Greek book, Homer’s Odyssey, than the many early copies of the Scriptures, now including those of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

In my years in the accounting profession, mathematical terms were a real part of any day. If your books are out of balance, divide the difference by nine to see if you have made a transposition of numerals. If it divides evenly, it is a transposition. If the difference divides evenly, half and half, it is likely you have entered a debit as a credit, or vice versa, in the amount of that half of the out-of-balance amount.

Division, then, is a key operation in bringing things into balance. Likewise, rightly dividing the Word of God ensures a balanced interpretation of the Word and an affirmation that it is the correct one, having considered all applicable inputs to the equation.

It is of great comfort that the Holy Spirit is committed to leading us into all truth and will show us things to come (John 16:13).
