- THE LETTER
Date: Jun 6, 2009 1:52 PM
A pastor's wife's letter:
-
- How's this for apocalyptic literature.
This was written by a pastor's wife in Biblical prose as a commentary
of current events.
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity
that the people of the land called America , having lost their
morals, their initiative,and their will to defend their liberties,
chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as "The
One".
- He emerged from the vapors with a message
that had no meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them,
"I am sent to save you.
My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego,
and my association with evil doers are of no consequence. For
I shall save you with Hope and Change.
- Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout
the land that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled
the nation, and that all he
has built must be destroyed." And the people rejoiced,
for even though they knew not what "The One" would
do, he had promised
that it was good; and they believed.
- And "The One" said "We
live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything
about it!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah! Change is good!"
- Then He said, "We are going to tax
the rich fat-cats." And the people said "Sock it to
them!"
- "And redistribute their wealth."
- And the people said, "Show us the
money!"
- And then He said, "Redistribution
of wealth is good for everybody"
- And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you
kidding me? You're going to steal my money and give it to the
deadbeats??" And "The One" ridiculed and taunted
him, and Joe's personal records were hacked and publicized.
- One lone reporter asked, "Isn't that
Marxist policy?" And she was banished from the kingdom!
- Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign
relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge,
how will you deal with radical terrorists?"
- And "The One" said, "Simple.
I shall sit with them and talk with them and show them how nice
we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to
kill us all!"
- And the people said, "Hallelujah!!
We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars
for the people!"
- Then "The One" said, "I
shall give 95% of you lower taxes."
- And one, lone voice said, "But 40%
of us don't pay ANY taxes."
- So "The One" said, "Then
I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!"
- And the people said, "Hallelujah!!
Show us the money!"
- Then "The One" said, "I
shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!"
- And the people yawned and the slumping
housing market collapsed.
- And He said, "I shall mandate employer-
funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage.
And I shall give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine
and transportation to the clinics."
- And the people said, "Give me some
of that!"
- Then he said, "I shall penalize employers
who ship jobs overseas."
- And the people said, "Where's my
rebate check?"
- Then "The One" said, "I
shall bankrupt the coal industry and electricity rates will skyrocket!"
- And the people said, "Coal is dirty,
coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part about
higher electric rates."
- So "The One" said, "Not
to worry. If your rebate isn't enough to cover your expenses,
we shall bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles
are over!"
- Then He said, "Illegal immigrants
feel scorned and slighted. Let's grant them amnesty,Social Security,
free education, free
lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing..."
- And the people said, "Hallelujah!!"
And they made him King!
- And so it came to pass that employers,
facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices
and laid off workers. Others simply gave up and went out of business
and the economy sank like a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking
industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And
more of the people were without a means of support.
- Then "The One" said, "I
am the "The One" - The Messiah - and I'm here to save
you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have enough!"
- But our foreign trading partners said
unto Him, "Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile
of camel dung! You will have to pay more..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The excellent letter above is no fairy
tale! It is happening exactly as God said it would:
"The king's
heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he
turneth it whithersoever he will" (Proverbs 21:1).
God has said there will be hyper-inflation in the tribulation:
"And I heard
a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat
for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see
thou hurt not the oil and the wine" (Revelation 6:6).
In a parable given by our Lord Jesus, a penny was a day's wage:
"For the kingdom
of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went
out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day,
he sent them into his vineyard" (Matt. 20:1 & 2).
Let's say that a measure of wheat would make loaf of bread today.
A day's wage for a loaf of bread? Or two? It's happening brethren!
Is it mere coincidence that President Obama is reverently called
"the One" by his followers and sarcastically by his
opponents? As always, the Sovereign God of the universe makes
it so clear that no one will have any excuse for not recognizing
it. Nevertheless, unbelief is never satisfied!
In the days of President Franklin Roosevelt, the American people
were firmly divided. They either loved him or they hated him.
So is it with "the One." Therefore, the stage is
also being set for the mark of the beast, which will be a visible
mark in the right hand or in the forehead in order to buy and
sell at the government stores. All stores will be government
stores. I am saddened to tears to see what has happened and
is happening in my country that I loved as a lost child and
young man. (If anyone is interested I will send you my personal
testimony if you ask). The USA has become as Sodom and Gomorrha!
We all know what happened to Sodom and Gomorrha. Amoral America
is getting exactly what it deserves and deserves exactly what
it getting and will get. God is no respecter of persons and/or
nations, as nations are people. Only by God's grace are we saved!
We didn't earn it and we didn't deserve it! We can all sing
together, "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved
a wretch like me." Amen!
