Damn Rats!

I have been in the midst of a brief study of what could take a man from “ordinary” to willing/able to exterminate otherwise innocent people at genocidal levels on a large scale. This happened under the leadership of Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin, and famously in our culture under Adolph Hitler.  There have been many others including many “micro versions” of human elimination throughout recorded history. Though there were obviously some cultural differences, there were also a couple common denominators that went along with these instances. There were even a few biblical instances of genocide in ancient history that many who struggle with Christianity point out to bash the faith, but I will touch on those separately. Here are some commonalities that I am seeing in the study. The ideals of communism are very present in each instance, including anti-Biblical atheism and the communists willful plan to eliminate those who do not fit the party’s image of perfection. Each culture often seems to hold a belief that some form of what they practice is in response to an accurate interpretation of scientific study and principals that ultimately end up placing man in the throne of Deity. What i mean by this is that if there is no God, man is in control of all things that he can control. On a side note here, it is impossible for man to separate his science from his religion. This is because religion is the term for what a man believes, this filters everything he thinks and does. It does not have to have a “mythical” deity to be considered a religion. That being said, science is the study of nature and will 100% be affected by the world view of the human. As far as sitting in the rulers throne, that’s God’s job. But, if God does not exist, and humanity is truly the result of millions of years of evolution, then by the tenants of this  religious belief of evolutionary science, man is the most evolved and thus the warlord in charge of this place until something more evolved comes along to move him out. As happens in nature, we fight and battle for territory and the survival of bloodlines through reproduction, this is to ensure that the fittest survives. All the while, nature, disease, other humans, etc. kull the weak ones. There can be no greater purpose to our existence if there is not something greater to strive towards! Something fake is not beneficial nor worth dying for. I believe that greater “thing” is not a thing but it is Jesus Christ. Solely and purely, Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form, and it is He who tells us how to behave and how to fight our natural instincts that are often bred from a sin nature. 

One of the things that really sticks out to me in the description of the men in this book I am currently reading called Ordinary Men is the simple brutality that “ordinary men” were capable of as well as how few tried to stop the senseless deaths even though they wanted nothing to do with the murder of the Jews. The other thing that glares at me is the number of times that hundreds if not thousands of Jews at a time were killed “without incident.” What is grating on me is the fact that these Jewish men, women, and children were slaughtered with almost no resistance against their oppressors. The end result was dead Jews who were fearfully and rapidly murdered, and very few even attempted to fight! This was made easier due to the years of restrictions on the Jews that built up over time leaving them very vulnerable when the right power came in to authority. These restrictions are being attempted in the United States right now! Once our freedom of speech is fully controlled the next move has to be removal of weapons or vice versa! Its harder to make me shut up if I have a cannon pointed at your heart!

Human nature is evil and it takes purposeful work to be morally and ethically righteous. Jesus provides the calibration and the ability of the man to do right even when it goes completely against the natural flow of the culture. We all struggle with this, some more than others as I speak for myself. Without Jesus, at some point all humanity is capable of buying in to the same evil that has occurred all over the world in these massacres. I honestly do not know of an innocent culture. Unrestrained atheism and  other anti-Christ thought, which are the central origin of the primary tenants of Communism, lead to all levels of Hell and death, the inclusion of severe torture is definitely not out of the question. This has existed in nearly every society and nation for thousands of years and will continue to be there until the return of God Himself to eliminate it entirely from His/our presence. 

Why didn’t the Jews more heavily resist the Germans? What had taken place that kept them from at least putting some sting into their murders? vThe Jewish people have a history of being great warriors! I’m sure the answer to the question could fill volumes with differing opinions and reasons. I need to know why? Something deep inside me has got to find this answer! Why? I feel we are about to face a world crisis, a tidal wave that will make this Coronavirus “pandemic” look like ripples in a pond. What’s far more dangerous than a virus? Men who live for the beast! We have seen what humanity has done in our past, we have read stories, we have seen the gruesome imaginations of men played out on movie screens, and read of the horrors committed by serial killers and violent warlords. Jesus stated that there was a time coming like no other time in all the Earths history. A time of violence so great that He must cut things short so that all flesh was not destroyed. This thought sends chills throughout my body. I hear Hell yelling at me through my currently locked gates of fear. If the locks on those gates were to break I am not sure what would happen! For now I am reasonably safe. Nobody is at my door threatening to take my kid or place me in a work camp. There have yet to be stories of what happened to the 1500 unvaxed Americans in the town across the river. The government, as of yet, is not digging graves to eradicate the rats of Christianity or the Maggots who voted for Trump. Did the Jews see this level of violence coming? Though it took years to get to this point, it all came down in a flash! I believe that they had no clue of the level of evil that was just around the corner. Honestly, who would have thought it was possible that level of evil would rise in a place of freedom?  

I remember a trip I took to the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.  Upon entering the museum I was given a fake passport. It was the passport of someone who lived and suffered through the holocaust. It told that persons story so that it would be on your mind as you walked through the halls of memorabilia. When I reached the section of the museum where walls had been built around the videos being shown so that kids couldn’t see them I stood and watched every one. Experiments were being performed and filmed, all dignity and respect of humanity was removed and humans were treated as less important than animals. I then walked through a memorial room and in to a hallway filled with eyeglasses, shoes, hair, and other random personal belongings stripped from those who had been placed in to camps to be destroyed like pests. How scared were they? Many had just witnessed their family being killed, now they were being tortured and starved!  Millions never returned from this nightmare. ...and Jesus says there is a time yet to come, that for the whole of humanity will be worse than even this! This is not even bringing in to account what the Chinese communists have done to their people, or the millions killed in Russia, it doesn’t bring to mind the pregnant African women whose bellies were slit open to remove their unborn babies as they were being raped trying to escape Idi Amin! Humanity possesses the capability of insane evils, and the worst is yet to come! Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a thousand years, but it’s coming!

We have a responsibility to fight this. I am tired of Christians just smiling and letting people walk all over them. I am not suggesting that there is not a time and place to “turn the other cheek”. There is a time when it takes more guts, courage, and faith to “turn the other cheek”, and there is a time when the courage and strength must be focused on good aim, a rapid trigger finger, and the ability to stack bodies high enough to keep the bullets from passing you family and friends. When the Gestapo comes to take your family, it may be the end for you and yours, but make it seem ever more difficult every time they try to harm another neighbor by adding a stinger that constantly injects venom into their actions! 

Do not naively believe that this could not happen here. I believe that mindset was a component in many of the mass killings worldwide. It’s a natural tendency to believe “it won’t happen to me!” The fix to this is first and foremost faith and trust in God for the knowledge of His presence at your side in times of difficulty, and your vigilant activity to prevent situations like this from taking place as well as preparing yourself to be hard to kill should the system turn evil. Be active politically! Read history and learn how we can move forward by not repeating humanities mistakes as we inevitably will with the suppression of information in todays delicate society. Learn to be situationally aware at all times and find a place where you are at peace with leaving a stinger in your enemy when you die if necessary. Please take what I say seriously! This will never be easy, and I absolutely have fear over this. But this violence is nothing new to man. It is time to make a stand!
