No King In Israel

NO KING IN ISRAEL, PART 1

The last five chapters of the book of Judges appear to be out of order insofar as chronology is concerned. However, when Samuel wrote this book, his intention was first to give an actual history of the Judges in the main portion of the book and then transition us into the book of Ruth in the final five chapters. The history of Judges from Othniel to Samson gives us the revelation of sonship through the Judges’ names, but it also ends in failure. Samson died without delivering Israel from the Philistine captivity.

The theme of the final section (Judges 17-21) is “No King in Israel,” stated three times: Judges 17:6, 18:1, and 21:25. Samuel intended for the readers to understand that during the three centuries of Judges, the Israelites were responsible to obey the laws of God without a king to enforce those laws. The examples set forth in these chapters show Israel’s failure to be self-governed by personal conscience.

The Conscience

One’s conscience, of course, is man-made and is only as reliable as the condition of one’s heart. This is easily seen in the fact that various cultures have developed their own laws and traditions, and their sense of conscience reflects those values, whether they are of God or not. One culture may see nothing wrong with making war on a neighboring tribe to capture wives, slaves, or wealth.

More recently, an increasing number of people in the West and around the world see nothing wrong with killing babies in the womb or in gay marriage. Many see nothing wrong with disinheriting people from the land, buying and selling real estate, incarcerating those convicted of theft, or charging interest on loans. Such things are done routinely, and few people have an understanding of what life in the Kingdom even is.

The fact is that one’s conscience must be based on the Word of God and His laws, rather than upon the prevailing culture in which men live. We all need to abandon our own culture and to seek the Kingdom of God and its way of life. Until we do that, there will be no peace among men and nations, most will remain uprooted from the land, and the disparity between rich and poor will continue to widen.

The deeper problem is that the law has not been written on the hearts of most people, including most believers. This is evidence that the New Covenant has yet to do its work in most people. The church put away the law of God quite early, not understanding that the task of the New Covenant was to write those laws upon our hearts by the work of the Holy Spirit, so that we might receive the nature of Christ. Only then might our conscience actually be trusted to be our guide, for our conscience will lead us according to whatever laws are written therein.

A law rejected is a law not written on one’s heart. Whatever law of God that we reject as being somehow ungodly is replaced or substituted by a tradition of men based upon an unregenerate conscience. Whenever men claim that some law of God is unjust or unloving, they blaspheme the nature of the One who gave that law. Thankfully, most such blasphemy from believers is spoken out of ignorance, rather than outright malice, but the effect upon conscience is the same. The result is that the Kingdom of God and God’s culture has remained elusive in history.

Old and New Covenant Faith

Religions in the world are all based in some way on the Old Covenant. That is, it is based on men’s vows and intentions to achieve righteousness (or self-improvement) by means of one’s own self-discipline or obedience to the revelation of self-proclaimed prophets and sages. In the case of the Israelites, they enjoyed an advantage in that the laws they received through Moses were from genuine revelation, as we believe.

However, the Old Covenant in their case still involved the vows of men, and so righteousness was still based upon men’s ability to keep their vows. The Apostle calls this “works,” as opposed to “faith.”

Paul’s doctrine was foolishness to the Jews of his day, because they all believed that they had faith in God. They prayed daily that God would assist them in keeping their Old Covenant vows, and they had great faith that God would do so. But this was not New Covenant faith. The New Covenant is God’s vow to men, making Him responsible to fulfill His vow. New Covenant faith is “being fully assured that what He had promised, He was able also to perform” (Romans 4:21).

Most Christian denominations are based on the Old Covenant, and so it is not surprising that they believe that only a few will be saved in the end. After all, if salvation is based on the decisions and vows of men, and so few make such decisions for Christ during their lifetime, it is only natural to draw that conclusion.

Christianity as a whole has failed as much as Israel did in the pre-Christian era, because both groups based their salvation on men’s vows, rather than God’s vows (promises). In both cases, they taught that the promise of God was to help us fulfill our own vows, leaving the result fully in the hands of men. But New Covenant faith is based on God’s ability to make it happen, not just His assistance to help us make it happen. So Hebrews 8:10 says,

¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds, and I will write them upon their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people. ¹¹ … For all will know Me, from the least to the greatest of them.

There is no uncertainty in this promise, nor does its result depend upon men. In the end, in spite of men’s resistance, God will win, for His will is stronger than the will of men. This is, in fact, the New Covenant promise given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for Deuteronomy 29:12-15 says,

¹² that you may enter into the covenant with the Lord your God, and into His oath which the Lord your God is making with you today, ¹³ in order that He may establish you today as His people and that He may be your God, just as He spoke to you and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. ¹⁴ Now not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath, ¹⁵ but both with those who stand here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God and with those who are not with us here today.

In other words, the promise that God made with Abraham, that in his seed all the families of the earth would be blessed, was the same covenant that God was making with Israel in the plains of Moab. This was the second covenant with Israel (Deuteronomy 29:1), and it was inherently different from the first covenant at Mount Horeb (Exodus 19:8). The first was based on men’s vows, while the second was based on God’s oath (or vow).

If the people had understood this covenant and had placed their faith in God’s ability to keep His oath, they would have been New Covenant believers. In fact, there was always a remnant of grace throughout history who had such faith in God—even though the majority blindly clung to their Old Covenant faith in their own ability and works.

In the types and shadows, we take note that Israel did not enter the Promised Land under the Old Covenant, for their disobedience and rebellion in the wilderness had disqualified them by their Exodus 19 covenant. They entered the land under the New Covenant under which Joshua (Jesus) brought them into the Promised Land.

This teaches us that no one can enter the Promised Land except by faith in the promises of God. The Old Covenant invariably leads men to Kadesh-barnea, where men conclude, “we are not able” (Numbers 13:31). They were unable, because their faith was based in themselves, rather than in God. Hebrews 3:19 says,

¹⁹ And so we see that they were not able to enter [His rest] because of unbelief.

There is no “rest” for those who still base their salvation upon their own ability to keep their vows. Such people continually strive to achieve perfection in their own strength, hoping that the Holy Spirit will assist them sufficiently. He will indeed assist them, but yet they cannot attain righteousness except through the New Covenant.

The Role of Overcomers

The overcomers are, by definition, New Covenant believers. This is not to say that they must have a clear and full understanding of the New Covenant. Matters of the heart are not always apparent to all, and in the end, God decides such things. Paul tells us only that the remnant of grace has removed the Old Covenant veil from their eyes (2 Corinthians 3:14-16), while the rest remain blinded by that veil (Romans 11:7 KJV).

The “remnant” is the main Hebrew word describing the overcomers, especially in the prophecies of Isaiah. In the days of Elijah the remnant of grace numbered just 7,000 (Romans 11:4) out of the millions of Israelites in the land. These, Paul says, were God’s “chosen” (NASB), or “the election” (KJV). The Greek word is ekloga, which has a numeric value of 144, a number that is associated with the overcomers in the book of Revelation.

The overcomers are the New Covenant remnant in the sea of Old Covenant religion. They are the forerunners, the first-fruits of the greater harvest yet to come. They are the ones who believe and understand the promises of God, and so they are assured not only of personal victory but of God’s ultimate victory over all of creation.

They are the ones who keep alive the idea of Kingdom government and culture. The Spirit of God writes the law on their hearts through daily experience, learning, and spiritual growth. As these laws begin to form their own nature in conformity to God’s nature, they become capable of judging the world (1 Corinthians 6:2), knowing when to apply justice and how to apply mercy. They understand that the purpose of the law is ultimately to bring correction, not to destroy, because the destruction or loss of any man would cause God’s promise to fail.

The overcomers are called to bear witness to the nature and plan of God. Though few may hear their testimony in the present age, their message will prevail in the end when every knee bows and joyfully concurs that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:9-11).

The Period of the Judges

Samuel’s book on the history of the Judges was designed to show the failure of conscience to bring about Kingdom law and culture. The same could be said about the reign of Saul, for if the heart and conscience of men could not submit to the rule of God, how could a king’s decrees make them righteous?

The problem was that “in those days there was no king in Israel.” This is not to say that King Saul was the solution. Rather, it speaks into a deeper problem that the people had rejected God’s rule over them, as we see in the people’s demand for a king. 1 Samuel 8:4-7 says,

⁴ Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah; ⁵ and they said to him, “Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations.” ⁶ But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” ⁷ And the Lord said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.”

Whether they were ruled by military Judges or by kings, the people themselves remained lawless in the sight of God, and for this reason they were in a state of rebellion against the true King. Neither could a lawless and rebellious king change the hearts of the people to bring forth the Kingdom of God.

Yet in spite of the general condition of the people, there were men like Boaz who reflected the heart of God, especially in his kind treatment of foreigners, and in his generosity toward Ruth, and in his willingness to secure Elimelech’s inheritance through the principle of sonship.

Boaz, then, was one of the overcoming remnant in his day, a type and shadow of One who would come later from Bethlehem as the Son of God and as the King of Kings. The period of the Judges from Othniel to Samson (and Samuel) represented the broader interim leading to the coronation of the King of Kings and the day when all things are subject to His rule.

Rise of the Useful Idiots

RISE OF THE USEFUL IDIOTS

By Mike Stone (and other authors inserted within the text, including myself)

1-29-2019

Do you believe that race is a "social construct" and that people are the same all over the world, or that Israel is our greatest ally?

Are you a Catholic who attends the new Mass and believes Francis to be a legitimate Pope? Are you a Protestant who is unaware that all Protestant denominations are man-made religions that have their roots in Martin Luther, a priest from the early 1500s, who was duped by the Jews of his time to create division within the Catholic Church?

Are you a white person who feels guilty for the "crimes" of your ancestors, a black person who believes American society practices "systematic racism", or a person of any race who voted for Hillary Clinton?

If you answered Yes to any of the above questions, then congratulations. You are a Useful Idiot. 

The mindset and various lifestyles of people groups around the world can be vastly different.  Like the animal kingdom, they don’t necessarily care for each other and they don’t want to be your friend. 

Only Christian Zionists (or their ilk) consider Israel as an ally (remember the Liberty that was destroyed by Israel?).  Israelis are mostly Khazars or Persians, not Jews of the Judah type.  Their goal is the same as the Rothschilds – to turn the world into a brown-skinned population of slaves and serfs.

The Catholic Church is the “little horn” of Daniel 7 which is an extension of the Roman Empire beast system.  Prostestantism may have had a good beginning but the various denominations resulted due to a small committee or a single person deciding the supposed correct doctrines of a Christian group.

No person alive today has ever owned a slave or was a slave (except for perhaps some rich elites who buy people from human traffickers – for various purposes).  Very few white people are vehemently racist today although they may be opposed to their daughter having an affair with another race.

A useful idiot is someone who believes they are supporting a specific political agenda, while in reality, they are supporting its exact opposite. The term was first coined by Vladimir Lenin to describe liberals and Democrats who thought they were working for a utopian society when in reality they were unwittingly supporting Communism. Under Communism, over a hundred million people were murdered in the 20th century. Hundreds of millions more were raped, tortured, enslaved, and beaten.

Norman Thomas:  an American Presbyterian minister who achieved fame as a socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.

The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism.  But under the name of “liberalism” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.

Liberals are dupes, what Communists call "useful idiots." I was one for most of my life. "Championing the oppressed" was a pathetic way to justify my life and meet women while being blinded to the real enemy. As a liberal, I believed we stood for "the public good" while everyone else was for mindless, selfish greed. Bella Dodd and The Protocols of Zion tell a different story.

The Protocols of Zion 9 and 6

"When we introduced into the State organism the poison of liberalism its whole political complexion underwent a change. States have been seized with a mortal illness--blood poisoning. All that remains is to await the end of their death agony." (Protocols 9)

"In order that the true meaning of things may not strike the goyim before the proper time, we shall mask it under the alleged ardent desire to serve the working classes..."   (Protocols of Zion, 6)

Henry Makow

As I will demonstrate, liberals, funded by the Rockefellers and Rothschilds (Soros) etc., are unwitting pawns of a satanic Communist agenda. They are dupes, like the lower Blue Degrees of Freemasonry. This sounds extreme but unfortunately, it is literally true. 

Bella Dodd (1904-1969) a lawyer and Political Science professor, was a Communist Party organizer from 1932-1948 and a member of the National Council of the CPUSA from 1944-48. 

In her book, "School of Darkness," she said Communists infiltrated and took control of liberal and socialist groups and unions. (She took control of the NY State Teachers Union.) She said Communism is a Satanic cult that is conspiring to enslave the world.

In testimony to HUAC in 1953, she revealed some Liberals "have allowed themselves to become supporters of the very members of this conspiracy. This is not liberalism, not liberalism in the finest sense of the word. This is just allowing the Communist to pull them into a propaganda environment which says that "anyone who is close to the Communist is a liberal. I do not believe that is the definition of "a liberal."

She offered the classical definition: "A liberal is a person who believes in the right of the individual to function. The Communist does not believe in the right of the individual. They believe only in the right of the collective. The individual is only part of a collective group, and whenever he doesn't move according to the collective, he is ousted from the group."

THE PROTOCOLS OF ZION
The Protocols of Zion make it clear that the Illuminati bankers (Rothschild controlled central banks: Federal Reserve, BIS, etc.) promoted liberalism and equality only to overthrow the gentile aristocracy and church. "While preaching liberalism to the goy (i.e. gentiles or non-Jew) we at the same time keep our own people and our agents in a state of unquestioning submission." (15)

"In order to annihilate the institutions of the goyim (i.e. gentiles or non-Jew)  ... we have replaced [their mechanism] by the chaotic license of liberalism. We have got our hands into the administration of the law, into the conduct of elections, into the press, into liberty of the person, but principally into education and training as being the cornerstones of a free existence." (9)

Their control is based on the paralysis they induce in representative government. "We replaced the ruler with a caricature of a government--by a President taken from the mob, from the midst of our puppet creatures or slaves. This was the foundation of the mine which we have laid under the GOY peoples..." (10)

Through their control of the press and education, they lionized "sedition-mongers" which in turn has protected them. "This advertisement has increased the contingent of liberals and has brought thousands of GOYIM into the ranks of our livestock cattle." (19)

As for equality, the founders of Communism write:" Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the masses of the people the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," ..." baits" [which] carried away the well-being of the world, true freedom of the individual, formerly so well guarded against the pressure of the mob."

"The would-be wise men of the goyim, the intellectuals...did not see that in nature there is no equality, there cannot be freedom: that Nature herself has established inequality of minds, of characters, and capacities.

As well as controlling society, the Rothschild banking syndicate uses the Left to extort and undermine the competition. During the French Revolution, the Rothschild mansion was spared by the rioting masses. The Bolsheviks were instructed to appropriate Russian factories and hand them over to the bankers.

We are all liberals in the classical sense of believing in individual freedom. But the Illuminati bankers have changed the definition of liberal to the spurious notion of championing the underdog. This has been used to divert, divide and undermine the majority, and subject the individual to the collective will which they define.

Until liberals wake up to what the Protocols refer to as "the true nature of things," they will continue to embrace their own destruction and that of Western civilization.

Cancer infects mankind. Central bankers who control the economy belong to a Cabalist Satanic cult called the Illuminati. It originated in the Sabbatean-Frankist Jewish heresy of 17th and 18th Century Europe. This occult movement is behind the "Enlightenment, "revolution," "secularism" and "modernity."  It is behind socialism, feminism, Zionism, communism, and fascism.

The Illuminati control government, education, and media by subtle networks like Freemasonry and intelligence agencies. They use these levers to degrade humanity to be cattle and serve them and their god, Lucifer, in a "New World Order." Mankind is on the receiving end of their hate, the victim of a cruel hoax of cosmic proportions.

Today, these same godless Communists have taken complete control over the Democratic Party. They control Hollywood, the entire mainstream news media, and nearly every college and university in the country. They fund Planned Parenthood, Black Lives Matter, and every subversive organization in the world.

What does this mean for you? It means if you support the Democratic Party, Planned Parenthood, Black Lives Matter, the counterfeit Catholic Church (post-Vatican II), Protestantism, Hollywood and the entertainment industry, the mainstream media, or the state of Israel, then you support Communism, pure and simple. 

And, by logical extension, you also support atheism, racism, intolerance, religious persecution, murder, torture, the eradication of the family, the removal of God from society and the replacement of God by the State, the destruction of Christianity and the Constitution, the end of free enterprise, the oppression of women, the genocide of the unborn, and the removal from society of everything that is noble and good within the United States and the world.

Does this mean that all Republicans are saints? Absolutely not. Corruption runs rampant within the Republican Party. However, by and large, the vast majority of Republicans in office support Christianity, the Constitution, the family, free enterprise, compassion for the poor, equality for women and minorities, along with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This is particularly true on the state and local level. Again, it's not every Republican, but it is most.

Don't expect to learn any of these facts from your daily newspaper, your television news, or your classes at school. Our country's media and education system are filled with communist progressives and useful idiots. If you think you're learning the truth about American history from what you see on television or what you hear from your teachers and professors at school, then you are no different from a child who believes in Santa Claus.

Now the question becomes what are you going to do with your newfound knowledge? Are you going to bury your head in the sand like an ostrich and pretend that everything I just said isn't true? If you're a coward, then I suppose you could do that. But if that's the case, then you are worse than a useful idiot. You are a slave who is undeserving of liberty.

Are you going to actually educate yourself and act accordingly? If that is your choice, then I applaud you. You have both courage and an open mind. There's no shame in having been duped by the Left. Before the Internet came along, truthful information was hard to come by and had to be sought out in dusty old bookstores and underground magazines. Today, there's no excuse for not being woke. You have this site and others to learn from. Embark on a course of self-education today.

Whatever choice you make, whether to expand and educate your mind or to remain a useful idiot, will have enormous consequences, not just for your life, but for the entire world. Please choose wisely.

Communist Jew Saul Alinsky – mentor of Hillary Clinton

How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky:  There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state.  The first is the most important.

1.   Healthcare – Think Obamacare and the Democrats refusal to end it and/or replace it with a better system.  It has been reported that many doctors are planning to resign due to the load of paperwork and federal forms.

2.   Poverty – Think illegal immigration and the poverty it brings.  Pelosi’s House included foreign aid but no American aid.

3.   Debt – The US Federal Reserve and other central banks constantly promoting inflation of the dollar and the Democrat’s plan to move all industry to China.

4.   Gun Control – The favorite promotion of the Democrats and liberals.

5.   Welfare – A Democratic LBJ invention with Demo and Rino liberals encouragement 

6.   Education – Public schools have been subjected to Common Core idiocy.  Higher Education has been injected with socialism and racist professors and refuse to allow the teaching of practical skills.

7.   Religion – The once basic Christian values and the belief in a Creator God has been slowly but surely eliminated.

8.   Class Warfare- The middle class is evaporating and racism is constantly fomented with a new front of white privilege and white racism.
