CONTROL OF THE
PEOPLE
INTRODUCTION
Control of the people, revealed in a dream, highlighted a similar occurrence happening today with those participating unaware of the fact they were being deceived. In the dream when truth was exposed it was rejected due to the climatic stress of the moment at hand!
It was noted that some disguised deceits counterfeit truth so perfectly that not to be taken in by them would be an error of judgment (La Rochefoucauld). The power to deceive is to cause one to believe what is false or disbelieve what is true. Control is to direct or determine direction; exercise authoritative control or power, to influence skillfully towards a desired goal resulting in control of the people for an intended purpose.
Control of the People
Socialism and Marxism
Control of the people is the goal of Socialism and Marxism, cousins of Communism; Critical Race Theory (CRT), the Great Reset Plan, instituted by the World Economic Forum; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Transformation; to name a few, that would upset the normality of life. Included in the spin-off of control of people, and the direction of a nation, is the drive to maintain legalized abortion, homosexuality, same sex marriage, and transgenderism as a way of life, though condemned in God’s Word.
Goals include: Discredit family as an institution; control of the schools to use as tools for promoting ungodly agenda; eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them violation of free speech and free press; break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography in books, magazines, motion pictures, and TV; promote homosexuality as normal, natural, and healthy; infiltrate the press, gain control of key positions in government, radio, TV, and motion pictures; infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with social religion.
World Domination
There is an outreach towards control of the people that includes world domination which seeks to cut off the influence of godly and freedom loving people. I thank God for those willing to stand up and be counted; opposing the ungodliness and immorality in the land that is being promoted through mainstream and social media, along with others who are deceiving the people into acceptance.
Control of the people is coming to reality through censorship of any godly influence opposing ungodliness and immorality of the land. It is as little David fighting the giant Goliath; but let us remember it was by God’s hand that David was victorious and saved the people from being enslaved by the enemy (1 Samuel 17:45-46)!
Those of Lesser
Strength
There are many countries seeking to control the people of lesser strength; to set them under their own rulership, and domain. Such are willing to partnership with other like-minded countries to accomplish such a feat but in the end will turn on one another towards final domination for once the goal is achieved it will not be shared with another.
The Psalmist David wrote: There is no faithfulness (uprightness) in their mouth; there inward part is very wickedness (destruction); their throat is an open sepulcher (tomb); they flatter with their tongue (Psalm 5:9). This description could readily fit any country, individual, or political enmity seeking to dominate and control; taking any measure necessary to accomplish its goal.
A Kingdom or House
Divided
Scripture reveals: If a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand (Mark 3:24-25). If in a nation internal divisions occur, and continue without end, it will bring disunity, chaos, and desolation of once sought after unity and ultimately a fall.
In reference to a house divided; if contentions and discord continue, a once comfortable and flourishing situation will soon become a distressed one, resulting in the fall of such a relationship. Many nations, and homes, are experiencing chaos, no longer blessed as before, due to division from within, but even of more significance due to no longer keeping God, or the Lord Jesus Christ, as their true source of strength.
Traits of the
Ungodly
The Apostle Paul wrote: That you henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight (trickery) of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive (Ephesians 4:14). Then identified the traits of the ungodly: Who being past feeling have given themselves unto lasciviousness (license to immorality), to work all uncleanness with greediness (relish). But you (the believer) have not so learned Christ (Ephesians 4:19-20).
Paul was speaking of those who had gone so deep in the unrighteousness of man that they had become calloused to any truth and insensitive to moral right and wrong. The Apostle Paul extorted the believer to warn them that are unruly, comfort the feeble hearted (faint-hearted), support the weak, be patient toward all men (1 Thessalonians 5:14). Abstain from all (every form) of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22).
Media Coverage of
Ungodly Influence
Due to media coverage of ungodly influence there is a tendency to sympathize with the dilemma they (the ungodly) have placed themselves in. The media has control of the people (who have no other source of truth) by its coverage as the gospel truth and suppressing the real truth. Those who live under the influence of the mainstream and social media have no clue to the true merits of its reporting.
The scale of justice is often no longer justice when the truth is not revealed. Control of people is through a mask of deceit towards the real truth. Many jump on the bandwagon of deceit due to the popularity of the moment at hand without searching out its true agenda. Control of the people is ongoing in many areas of governmental control; that may appear supportive, when in actuality is can be of a devastating nature.
Gaining Key Positions
in Government
It was noted that any country grounded in Christian values cannot be overthrown until those roots are cut, to change culture, a long march through the institutions is necessary by capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society. What comes to pass is not so much because a few people want it to happen, but because the mass of citizens abdicate their response ability and let things be (Antonio Gramsci).
Control of the people is not coming from the majority but a minority of people who are more demanding and vocal in their commitment and even violent in nature to gain a desired goal. They have gained key positions in government to influence laws and rulings to accommodate ungodly lifestyles; and to eliminate the godliness and morality of mankind. It in many cases the majority of the religious world is remaining passive and silent thus allowing the promulgation of such to continue.
Plate of Acceptance
What is being placed on the plate of acceptance would not have been accomplished in former years when the nation was grounded in God’s Word and livability towards it. The control of the people towards acceptability is the main culprit as it leans towards ungodly trends that are now promoted as normal and with pride.
The moral compass has been
tampered with and altered to point towards immorality as a way of life; as in the
pre-Flood days of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah, and Babylon the hold of every foul
spirit. Where is the moral outrage
necessary to seek God for a renewed relationship with Him and His Son, the Lord
Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior!
Antidote for a Nation
Scripture reveals the antidote for any nation who has let down its guard; accepting ungodliness into its ranks, and closing its eyes to the consequences for having done so: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear (and only then) from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
It was noted that while this promise was originally given to King Solomon regarding the people of Israel, it is certainly applicable to all who will call on the Lord in repentance and faith. This verse is a high expression of a loving readiness to hear the prayers of a repentant people.
God's Love for
Mankind
Scripture reveals: God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son (the Lord Jesus Christ), that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17).
And this is the condemnation, that light (the Lord Jesus Christ) is come into the world, and men loved darkness (the evil deeds of this world) rather than light, because their deeds were evil (relished by many) (John 3:19). But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds (witness) may be made manifest, that are wrought (created) in God (John 3:21).
Invitation to Mankind
Scripture reveals: He that believes on the Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) has everlasting life; and he that believes not the Son shall not see life (eternal life in Christ); but the wrath of God abides (remains) on him (an unsaved condition) (John 3:36). This Scripture leaves the choice, as to one's final destiny after life on earth, a heavenly abode or an eternity in Hell.
Control of people is domination by the ungodly; when one comes to Christ it is voluntarily, through Jesus invitation to all: I stand at the door (the door of one’s heart), and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door (only you can), I will come into him, and will sup (dine) with him, and he with me (Revelation 3:20).
