CHRISTIAN AMERICA: LOST IN THE WILDERNESS

By Rev. Ted Pike
 

            In the fall of 1846 a wagon train of settlers well on their way to California faced a critical decision: to take the tested northwest route or a shorter untested passage over the Sierras. A mountain man who described himself as an expert on the region suggested this alternative, and the settlers took his advice. But the "expert" did not consider the lateness of the season; he offered a half-truth. Before the travelers could cross the Sierras, a blizzard descended. Most of the Donner party starved to death.

            Today, Christian America faces a similar dilemma: how to escape the arctic chill of anti-Christianity in media, education, and government. Christians know they are in danger. But the wisest route of deliverance evades them.

            The Donner party should have found another authority to advise them about the total reality of their situation. So the church today should consider the following point of view.

Ancient Dreams of World Empire

            Two thousand years ago the ancient Pharisees, rejecting Christ, gave themselves to their spiritual father, the devil (Jn. 8:44). The apostle John describes them as agents of anti-Christ (1 Jn. 2:22) and Paul says they are "enemies of the gospel" (Rom. 11:28). Jesus calls them the "synagogue of Satan" (Rev. 2:9). Their Babylonian Talmud, the greatest religious and ethical authority for all observant Jews today, is replete with hatred for Jesus and Gentiles. (See, Was the Talmud Behind NBC's 'Book of Daniel'?) Judaism's other most sacred book, the Zohar or "Kabbalah," vows to displace Gentile and Christian power in this world by any means possible.  Eventually, it predicts, Israel will rule over the nations under their messiah, whom Christians know as the anti-Christ. (See, Are ADL/B'nai B'rith Masonic, Not Jewish?)

            From the time of the New Testament, Jews developed literature that stoked their hatred of the dominant and ever-expanding Christian church; this literature steams with their desire for vengeance. Out of the Babylonian Talmud, they established a modern Judaism that is humanistic in its values but religious in its rivalry to Christianity.

            Driven by the Talmudic goal of breaking down Christian/capitalist civilization, Jewish financiers and revolutionaries established communism at the turn of the 20th century. ¹ During the first half of the last century Jews also took control of film, radio, and TV and most of the large print media in America. This was to facilitate the same Talmudic goal: Break down Christian morals and society so Jewish power could prevail. (See, Jews Confirm Big Media Is Jewish). In 1913 international Jewish bankers through their Federal Reserve Act seized America's monetary system. Through FDR's New Deal they brought creeping socialism and liberalism to America. ²

            During the last half of the 20th century the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and other Jewish "civil liberties" organizations began hammering at the moral foundations of America. They litigated against Christian values, such as prayer in schools, Christmas symbols, public display of the Ten Commandments, etc. (See, ADL's Foxman: New Testament is Anti-Semitic and ADL's Attack on Southern Baptists Repeats History) Jewish activists are presently behind efforts to strip military chaplains of their right to pray in the name of Jesus in public. (See, Correction: Speech at Air Force Academy Not Free) Jewish media activists are almost invariably behind TV and movie productions such as "The Last Temptation of Christ," "The Book of Daniel," and promotion of "The Da Vinci Code," that mock and cast doubt on Christianity and Jesus.  (See, 'The Last Temptation of Christ' An Unnecessary Disaster in Christian-Jewish Relations and Who's Behind NBC's 'Book of Daniel'? and The Jews Behind Da Vinci Code)

            At this moment ADL's Orwellian federal anti-hate bill is before the House of Representatives. It aims to shackle America with a hate crimes bureaucracy as in Canada, Europe, and Australia. Also, as Dr. James Dobson revealed, two Jewish senators, Carl Levin and Joe Lieberman, are responsible for inserting the Christian-harassing Sec. 220 into the lobby reform bill, S.1. (Fortunately, due to mass protest, Sec. 220 was recently rejected by the Senate.)

Christian Leaders Silent

            Why have Christian leaders not identified Jewish activists' antagonism to our nation and faith?

            Especially during the last century, Talmudic Jewish activists have encouraged Christians to believe that it is not only anti-Semitic to criticize them but that such criticism is "cursing God's chosen people" and will incur divine judgment. This misinterpretation of Scripture has been unquestionably accepted by evangelicals. As a result, Jewish activists are free to perpetually work behind the scenes -- behind the cameras, behind Senate chambers, behind huge banking institutions. No Christian leader dares expose their motives and identities as Jewish without risking loss of his reputation as "anti-Semitic."

            This is the reality behind the arctic chill of anti-Christianity that threatens to envelop us like the dark winter that fell on the Donner party. The question is now as then: What can we do?

            Christ and the Old Testament prophets show us the way: Fear God alone and confront evil directly. Boldly and specifically identify evil including, if necessary, the racial and religious identities of those who do evil.

            Two thousand years later the same Judaic evil remains, and our response must be unchanged. Civilization is precariously close to the point of no return. If we do not speak out now, we may soon lose our chance, especially if a federal speech crimes law is passed.

Half-Truths Cannot Save Us

            As in the days of the Donner party, there are many "experts" today who don't tell us the whole truth. They say what we want to hear. It is not necessary, they say, to endure the reproach of doing open battle with the ideology and identities of Judaic, Talmudic activists. They can be referred to obliquely as "liberals, secular humanists, media moguls," etc. If enough people oppose their media and legislative attacks, these advisors tell us, they can be held back just as effectively and without anyone suffering the reproach of being tarred as "anti-Semitic." In other words, half-truths can save us.

            Yet such advice, which we have been heeding for most of the past century, has not proven to be a shortcut to safety. It has not delivered us. Instead, Christianity is increasingly huddled, under attack, nearing exhaustion like the Donner party. The half-truths we trusted have led to disaster.

            If we could go back 160 years and give sage advice to the Donner party in their distress, it would have to be: Forsake the bad advice and half-truth that led you into this dilemma. Get back to civilization as fast as possible!

            What is civilization to us today? Civilization is the biblical prophetic standard modeled by Christ and the prophets, to fear God alone without respect of persons. It is to love and respect reality and the whole truth and settle for nothing less.

            There is warmth, light, and safety in such biblical civilization, in such total truth-telling. We have wandered far from its protection, but if we humble ourselves to turn and go in the opposite direction from our error, there is hope.

            With God as our guide and strength and the whole truth as our compass, we can find our way back before winter.
