Greetings
Brethren,
The sound and
fury of man is a minor force compared with the Sound and Fury of God. Let it be
written that all questions confronted by humankind are found in the Sacred Text.
We also note that those that deny God and the Truth of the Bible are limited in
knowledge and see the world in the eyes of man.
As you know man
is blind to Truth if does not know God. Therefore all of the dissenters that
come to Censor the FreedomJournal because we speak of God and our Savior are
wallowing in Foolishness and flirt with Stupidity. As cousin "Doc
Larsha" would say those that deny God as the center of Truth are
"Locked on Stupid."
It is for sure
that all those that seek answers too historical, political, economic,
psychological and sociological questions are lost without the knowledge of God.
Peace and Love,
Carl Patton
writing for the FreedomJournal November 6, 2002 in the year of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
RACE AND GOD(BLACK NOR WHITE)
PART 16: DIVINE TRUTH & JESUS CHRIST (DANIEL 7:14)
In the name of
Jehovah God, Master of the universe, Ruler of the earth.
We rejoice today
Brethren as we did on yesterday and we pray that we can rejoice on tomorrow.
The Joy and Peace of God is found in the righteous. Thus we give the highest
tribute to our Father God and to His Son our Savior Jesus Christ. We come also
giving tribute to the Holy Spirit promised to all believers as a company
keeper, comforter and guide. Thank you Jesus.
As we mediate on
the various thoughts that seek to blaspheme the name of Jesus with images and
pictures we continue to review the Prophecy of Daniel. We also remind you that
we traveled from Revelation 1:14 to this place. It is written that the impact
of Jesus Christ the Savior of humankind was/is seen by all that walk and crawl
the planet earth. His kingdom has been established and He will come back to
claim His people. How has/did the establishment of the kingdom of Christ
impacted on world empires? What is the most important message taken from the
Prophecy of Daniel? Also how does Daniel's prophecy in the 7th chapter relate
to our over-all discussion concerning race and God?
Daniel 7:14.
"And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all
people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is a everlasting
dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be
destroyed."
In this powerful
passage of scripture we see some of the same predictions noted in Daniel 2:44.
In this kingdom Jesus Christ would be the person in the vanguard. Thus God
would work through his son in setting up the kingdom that would never be
destroyed. Here it is written that all nations would serve Him just as all
nations had been under the power of various world empires.
Yet the world
empires dominated the people through political control to the extent that they
perverted religion. However, the kingdom of God would rule with divine Truth.
Thus each man would be given the liberty of conscience and conduct that is in
harmony with individual responsibility under the principles of that divine
Truth.
"FreedomJournal
what does the impact of ancient world empires have to do with the religious and
political world today? Also, what is the utility of noting the historical
record regarding these world empires?"
During the
height of the Roman Empire God of heaven established the kingdom of Christ.
This kingdom was delivered to the son of God Jesus Christ. The persecution of
Jesus and his followers and the crucifixion of Jesus all impacted greatly on
the establishment of this kingdom. The kingdom of Christ is further noted in
scripture (Daniel 2:44, 7:14) to last forever. This kingdom would also destroy
all of the kingdoms that seek to dominate the world and establish world-wide
empires. The Roman Empire was the last such empire. Although during
contemporary times the Germans and Japanese sought to establish world-wide
empires but they failed.
The message is
not teaching that the kingdom of Christ will overthrow all temporal
governments. This thought would contradict the teaching in the New Testament.
(See Romans 13:1-6 sand 1 Timothy 2:1-3). In these passages of scripture we see
God asking His servants to pray for institutions of government. However the
scriptures do reveal that world-wide empires such as the four noted by Daniel
will be destroyed.
Meanwhile, the
destruction of evil empires will not come about by a miraculous destruction by God.
However the defeat of evil in world-empires will come about by humankind
rebelling against the denial of individual rights ordained by God and
guaranteed in the kingdom of Christ.
We have noted
previously that one must note the parallels in Biblical history and that which
is written by the secular world to fully understand the historical development
of the Prophecy rendered by Daniel. Christianity had a great impact on the
Roman Empire.
"In less
than three centuries the pagan empire had become Christian not only in name but
also very largely in fact. This conversion of Rome is one of the most important
events in all history." (Meyers, Ancient History p. 495).
Edward Gibbon,
"Decline of The Roman Empire" is another good source to learn the
realities of the impact of Christianity on the Roman Empire. Note chapters 15:
Progress of the Christian Religion and chapter 16: The Conduct of The Roman
Government Towards the Christians. We also note that Gibbon was an infidel and
unbeliever thus his factual account that holds true with the Biblical record is
very important. We further note that although Gibbon was an unbeliever he
displayed integrity and responsibility as a historian.
The record
thusly shows that the principles, teachings, and preaching brought to the world
by the kingdom of Christ resulted in the fall of the Roman Empire as predicted
by Daniel. Napoleon, the Germans and Japanese failed and so will all others
fail. This is what is written.
