Paradoxically, the next article in the “Latest Articles” list was, “NEW SEA-AIR BATTLE RAGING IN THE SOLOMONS; GERMANS SMASH HARDER AT STALINGRAD LINES (8/26/42)”
Yes, war results in horrendous realities, and usually begins as a result of lust, but until the Lord reigns - which will after a climatic war - then there will be wars that are necessary to preserve life with its God-given freedoms.
But the liberal mind refuses to accept that there are immutable moral laws, and that due to the Fall, and man’s innate proclivity to rebel and to sin, then restraints are necessary, and that in order to have beneficial liberty, there must be limits, the Bible ultimately providing them.
Instead, the ongoing revolution seeks to have a Garden of Eden without its God, and in which (in particular) there are no laws against sexual immorality, and no earning the right to privilege or pleasure and the responsibility that goes with them.
Instead, they want everything provided by the god called government at the expense of those who actually subscribe to the Biblical principles of earning and rewards, or by those who will be forced to support them, they being the “elites” who know what us best for us, and who climb up some other way to power, and deplore the idea that they should be debated and found worthy.
And which is not surprising, as the original “occupy” movement, of lust for power, was that of the devil seeking to occupy the throne of God, (Is. 14) and who thus sought to instil in Eve the idea that God ought to “share the wealth,” so that she would be like God, and was justified in her rebellion in order to attain what she now lusted for.
They promise a type of Woodstock, but which results in Haight-Ashbury, and then dictatorship by men who gain such by guile and or force. But like as in Communism which they esteem, the reality is far more oppressive and grievous than whatever valid abuses preceded them under a basic Biblical model.
While these modern day hippies invoke Jesus, they rebel against Him as Lord.
As for whether Jesus would join the military, while He would not raise up church armies and resort to the sword of men to deal with theological deviation (as in the Inquisitions, etc.) , the Spirit of Christ sanctioned the just use of the sword by the State for the punishment of evildoers, (Rm. 13:1-7; 1Pt. 2:13,14). However, when the military itself rejects Him and supports homosexuality and marries men with men, then they are fighting against the God whose help they need to implore.
Bingo!! Nothing new under the sun! Same old tactic - what ever is of God, i.e. His Word satan is after it!
