AWAKE!
It is time to reflect on the wisdom of historical greats:
"Men will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants" - Benjamin Franklin
"Liberty has never lasted long in a democracy, nor has it ever ended in anything better than despotism." - Fisher Ames
"In a republic, the importance of the central government, seen as an economic parasite and potential tyrant, is rightfully minimized. By contrast, our democracy today, like all humanistic democracies before it, is nothing more than mob rule - the rule of the majority - where the federal government becomes a criminal, stealing from the productive and giving to the unproductive; where the government makes ungodly laws and politicians play god, relying ultimately upon the force of violence." -No Time FOR SLAVES, R.E. McMaster, Jr.
The book, Pigs at the Trough: How Corporate Greed and Political Corruption Are Undermining America by Huffington, documents how a select few are running the government, and the economy, into the ground for the rest of us while reaping profits for themselves.
"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No-one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." -Winston Churchill (November 11, 1947), United Kingdom
[Jesus:] "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men." -Matthew 15:8,9; Isaiah 29:13
Theocracy with Jesus- "We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him'- but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit." (emphasis added) -1 Corinthians 1:6-10
"The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible." - Noah Webster, 1758-1843, U.S. lexicographer (the writing, editing. or compiling of dictionaries.)
From the Word of God, it is written: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." -Galatians 6:7 This is applicable to individuals as well as to nations of people!
Monarchies, democracies, aristocracies, plutocracies, oligarchies, etc. are all systems of men which come to nothing whether their rule last hundreds of years (e.g. Roman Empire) or just a few years. Theocracy with Jesus is outside of trap where each and every person is accountable to to each other through His loving commands. Live as free men, but not as a cover for evil. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things is there is no law." -Galations 5:22
"The time is now at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die." -George Washington 1776
Who Is the Greatest, the Master or the Servant?
Greetings. Many citizens are confused in answering this question of everlasting importance. Dictators, tyrants, and many public officials think they are the master, but, in America, One Nation under God, we have learned this TRUE reality:
(All words in bold taken from Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th Edition. Words in [ ] are added for emphasis!) Master and Servant- “The relation of master and servant exists where one person [president, governor, etc.], for pay or other valuable consideration [salary, benefits], enters into the service of another [natural persons, citizens: “We the People”] and devotes to him [us] his personal labor for an agreed period [term]. The relation exists where the employer [natural person, citizen] has the right to select the employee [vote], the power to remove and discharge him [impeach, fire, oust] and the right to direct both what work shall be done [protect our freedom and vested rights] and the manner in which it will be done [oath for accountability, with integrity, and no deception or chain conspiracy!].”
From this information we can positively conclude that the master is greater than the servant; that is, the servant is subordinate- “Placed in a lower order, class, or rank; occupying a lower position in a regular descending series; inferior order, nature, dignity, power, importance, or the like;”. Therefore, we can understand usurpation- … “The unlawful seizure or assumption of sovereign power. The assumption of government or supreme power by force [servants, coercion/police state] or illegally [not authorized by law], in derogation of the constitution [e.g. empirical legislated executive powers] and the rights of the lawful ruler [natural persons/citizens]”. And we can also understand government de facto- “A government actually exercising power and control as opposed to the true and lawful government” versus government de jure- “A government of right… a government deemed lawful… which, nevertheless, has been supplanted or displaced; that is to say, which receives not presently (although it received formerly) habitual obedience from the bulk of the community.” WARNING: Have not our “servants” for maintaining freedom and peace making fomented (instigated) high treason by hijacking and distorting our American Nation and Christian religion in whose name they speak?
A stimulating study from the Holy Scriptures: “For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood- contending only with physical opponents, but against the despotisms, against the powers, against {the master spirits who are} the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere –Ephesians 6:12 Amplified Version. So, “Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?” - Isaiah 2:22 NIV. AWAKE! “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” –Isaiah 5:20 NIV. … OR MASTER FOR SERVANT AND SERVANT FOR MASTER.
