Dear brother Riley.I have read this litle article with great interest, clever and informative as always, thanks for sharing youre God given insigth and wisdom with us, - may God allways bless and protect you and youre loved ones. Looking forward to meet you soon in the clouds.Just before of the so called fall of the Comunisme, and the Wall in Berlin, (I to have prayed for) the Lord said to me: Jan it will not give that peace you looking fore, but be like if you open the Pandora box, take a look and shut it down again, - all the evil, darkness and demonic will totaly overrun Europe. MidleEast and the World, because of, endtime have started.And you will even see that political philosophy you believe in, and like, - democracy, - give evil consequence because of its structure, and because of its man-made, - its only clay, - and yes, it will be a part of the last evil rebellion against the Most High and Me - Babylon the Great !But I will unmask and destroy it all, - you will see and understand, and you and other will warn the world with what I tell you.Most of you would feel weaker and weaker, more and more unworthy, - its because of the evil attack, - but it is also because of My Holiness, the closer you come, (until I in a twinkle of an eye have change - transformed you to a real part of me.) - but in youre feeling rigth now, I will be strong in and out from you, - and learn you and youre brethren, always to use your great weapon - youre faith and your prayer, - use it as weapon against the enemy.So let the Holy Spirit take over in your life, listen to, and do what He say in obeye, - He is the restrainer, and so are you, if you trust in and follow the Holy Spirit, - and then you shall never realy frigthen any thing, be depress or go in panic, because of: - Im with youre side all the time until I take you Home !- Glory, Praise, Worship and Love for ever, to our Great God, and our Redeemer and Saviour Jesus Christ, and to the Holy Spirit who reveal it all for us, bit by bit ! - Marana-tha, ybic, Jan Mikael !Democracy is a Dangerous Form of Government. - by Francis Riley.Someone once said [I don't remember the author of the quote], "Democracy is the sorriest form of human government in the history of mankind, except all other forms of human government which preceded democracy." This is great philosophy, but it is a total lie! In the light of God's Word, the statement just isn't so!I go to God's inspired Word! The Lord God of Heaven Himself looked down upon the ancient kingdom of Babylon and explicitly said, "And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah," Isaiah 13:19. In this chapter the Lord Himself is giving the prophet Isaiah a vision of "The burden of Babylon," 19:1, and in the course of this vision concerning Babylon, the Lord inspired Isaiah to record the words stated in verse 19. Of all the kingdoms which have ever existed on this earth, God Almighty Himself recognized and declared that ancient Babylon was the most glorious of all human kingdoms. Why would God say such a thing?Because ancient Babylon was ruled an absolute autocrat. In other words the whole kingdom was ruled by one man. Nebuchadnezzar's word was the law of the kingdom. He alone held the power of life and death. No man dared give him any advice or counsel unless he explicitly asked for it. He depended on no man for his authority to rule. He had counselors of his own choice, which he could depose or elevate with a word. Yes, he was what we would today call a "dictator," but he had more power than any other dictator who has ever lived in human history. He made the laws, saw that his laws were carried out, and executed whomever he chose for any infraction of those laws. He was indeed a pagan king, yet he was an "honorable" pagan if I can use that expression. When justice needed to be carried out, as a sole autocrat, he could cut threw all the "red tape" and immediately dispense justice. When criminals needed to be punished, he didn't have to bother spending weeks selecting a jury that might or might not be prejudice right from the start. When the sentence was handed down, he didn't have to bother with years and years of silly appeals. When he determined that a crime had been committed and a criminal was guilty, he simply gave the orders to execute the criminal, and they were executed on the spot. When something needed to be done for the welfare of the people in his kingdom, he simply gave the orders and his orders were immediately carried out. His kingdom was so far advanced beyond all other forms of human government, past or present, that God Almighty Himself said that it was "the glory of kingdoms."Oh, I can almost hear the cry of many of God's people saying, "Why we don't want to live in such a kingdom under such a dictator." Well then you don't want to live in the coming Millennial Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, do you? Haven't some of you folks ever put your brain in gear long enough to figure out that the future Millennial Kingdom of our Lord is going to be ruled by an absolute autocrat? ..........whose name is Jesus [or Yeshua to the Jews]? Haven't you ever seriously thought out the meaning of Psalm 2:8-12, Isaiah 9:6-7, Daniel 2:44, 7:22, 7:27, Revelation 2:26-27, 3:21, 11:15, 12:5, and 19:15? The Lord Jesus Christ will rule His Kingdom as an absolute autocrat!Folks, the greatest of all human kingdoms thus far in human history has been that of ancient Babylon, which was ruled by an absolute autocrat in whom was invested the total power in the whole kingdom. God Almighty said so! But the greatest of all human kingdoms yet to come will be that of KING JESUS. He too will be an absolute autocrat, and will rule over His kingdom of peace and righteousness with "a rod of iron." Oh yes, Jesus is a human! He is the God-man; God clothed in humanity; our God and Savior and our Kinsman-Redeemer. Praise the Lord! The inspired Apostle, speaking in the present tense, explicitly stated, "For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," 1 Timothy 2:5. Folks, our Divine Savior still lives in a human body which still bears the marks of the nail prints in His hands and scar of the spear in His side. It is a glorified human body, but a human body nevertheless. Remember the old song,"I shall know Him; I shall know Him; When I see Him I shall know Him, by the nail prints in His hands."Glory to God! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Folks, KING JESUS is the One who is coming for His people in a few more hours, and He will take His bride to her Heavenly "home" in glory. Then after seven years Him and His bride will return to establish His Millennial [and eternal] Kingdom upon this earth, where He will rule and reign as an absolute autocrat over His kingdom for ever and for ever. He will be what men call a "dictator" today, but the only dictator in human history who has ever been one hundred percent good, holy, kind, compassionate, and altogether righteous. Glory! Glory to God! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!Folks, I can't hardly wait until I can bow before Him, and cast my crown at His feet, Revelation 4:10-11."Even so, come, [King; Autocrat; Dictator; Absolute Sovereign] Lord Jesus," Revelation 22:20.Pastor F.
