NATURAL LAW

Natural Law Tells Me The United States Is A Dead Man Walking

5 Comments

This chart shows you the cycle that history has always taken, but it does not show you a key to the cycle. Today, we are at that point of dependence, and, lest some outside force intervene, we are destined for bondage. This is how human societies have worked since Creation. It is a cycle because it is part of Natural Law: the Natural Law of Human Nature. However, there has been a change in the balance of this natural cycle: a change that will leave humanity in bondage forever.

The growth of the religious sentiment which is key to building the courage necessary to breaking the hold of bondage is, itself, dependent upon ‘new blood.’ By this, I mean people entering from outside of a society. People who enter the dependent society and preach the faith which sparks the courage to reclaim liberty. Today, the world is too small for the cycle to function properly. Because of the push to make the world into a single community, there is no ‘new blood’ to preach faith. What’s more, with the ability of modern tyrants to control nearly every aspect of our society, and to do so on a global scale, there is no way for a dissident movement to form. China is living proof that, the moment the government feels threatened by a religious group, it can and will destroy that religious group.

The American Revolution succeeded because it was rooted in the religious sentiments of the Reformation and Great Awakening. It succeeded because of the ‘new blood’ of the Puritans, Quakers and other believers who preached and pushed for a more pure form of Scriptural governance. That is where our Founders found the courage that sustained them through the Revolution and the turmoil which followed, and their success was YHWH’s reward for their faith. But this pattern can no longer happen. Computers and cell phones and social credit scores, monetary control, government-run media — all of it has combined to give our dictators the absolute ability to crush any and all dissent.

History also shows us another pattern, and it is best recorded in the Scriptures. When a generation abandons its faith in YHWH, the third generation from that point will be Godless!* Scripture measures such generations as 40 years. The last, truly God-fearing generation in America was that of the WW II generation — the Greatest Generation. The Greatest Generation is also the generation that kicked YHWH out of the public square. They did so in the 1960’s. So, from the 1940’s until the 1980’s (the first generation), then until the 2020’s (the second generation). and now until the 2060’s (the third generation). This has already happened to Europe. They are a generation ahead of us, and it shows. Today, they are nearly devoid of true believers in YHWH, The One True God.

This second cycle continues. Once a society becomes utterly godless, it turns pagan, and total depravity takes hold of the People. They lose all sense of moral underpinning. Right becomes wrong and wrong becomes right. People cannot tell the difference between the sexes, perversions are normalized and normality is criminalized. The rule of law collapses and chaos reigns. This leads to the collapse of civil society, which opens the door to total despotism. This is not only the point at which the United States finds itself today, but it is the point at which the entire world currently stands. Now, whether you believe or not — that is irrelevant. History records what happened the last time the entire world became godless and lawless:

“As in the Days of Noah…!!!”

So, why do I believe the United States is a dead man walking? Simple: because I believe both the Scriptures and YHWH’s Natural Law (and I know that history supports them both). I know this nation is under judgment because I know — with absolute certainty — that Man cannot and will never change YHWH’s Laws. The fact that we have started to believe we can speak changes to those Laws into existence is proof of the fact that we are already suffering from wide-spread depravity. What’s more, there is no sign that things are going to get any better. Unless YHWH sends revival, and the People of this land repent like never before, things are going to continue to collapse — because that is what the tyrants want. They need the chaos. It empowers them. The chaos empowers them. And who is the god of Chaos? Which makes that figure the god over those who seek to destroy our world so they can rule over the ruins. I beg of all who read this: heed my warning!

Let him who has eyes to see, see; and him who has ears to hear, hear!

To Those Who Have Asked Me: “How Do We Restore Our Liberty?”

2 Comments

I have had many people ask me this question:

“What do we do? How do we restore our Constitution/Liberty?”

I have given them the same answer for several years now, and — every single time — the person who asked the question has gone away frustrated. They did not want to hear the answer I gave them. They wanted to hear something else. This is how it always plays out, and it reminds me of the following scene:

Mark 10:17-22 New American Standard Bible

The Rich Young Ruler

17 As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do so that I may inherit eternal life?” 18 But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” 20 And he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth.” 21 Looking at him, Jesus showed love to him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 22 But he was deeply dismayed by these words, and he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

This young ruler was sincere in his efforts to do what he needed to do to gain eternal life — so long as what he needed to do was something he wanted to do! In this case, Yeshua told the young ruler he would have to give up that which he prized most, even above eternal life. The young ruler simply could not bring himself to do what was asked of him, so he went away. I see a similar reaction from everyone who asks me what we need to do to restore our liberty.

Do you want to know what we need to do to restore our liberty in America? OK, I’ll tell you, and I am absolutely certain that this is the Truth. I am equally certain that, as a people, when we hear the answer, we will walk away dejected, and for the same reasons the young ruler walked away: the answer is not what we want to hear or do.

OK, so what do we do to restore our liberty in America? Well, the answer is simple:

If we wish to restore our liberty, we must follow the example of our Founders, and that starts by repenting: bending our knees and admitting our guilt before YHWH. Then we and earnestly seek His forgiveness, and ask Him to restore our land.

That’s it; that is all we have to do. But no one will believe that this is the key to the Founders’ success — mostly because they do not know or understand what the Founders believed. Well, it starts by remembering that the Founders came out of the Great Awakening. The Great Awakening changed the thinking of the American people, which then changed their hearts. John Adams told us so when he told us that the Revolution was effected before the fighting even started, and that it was due to a change in the moral sentiments of the American People:

“The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations … This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.“

In other words, the Great Awakening made the American People realize that true Liberty is not found in the ways of Man, but in the ways of YHWH, The Creator. That He, not Man, should be our King. We should seek to follow His Laws, and that following His Laws means we have a moral obligation (i.e. a duty) to our neighbors as well as our society. This was the key to the Founders’ success, and it shows in their writings. If we’ll bother to look, we’ll find it, both in their writings as well as in human history.

The perfect contrast is found in the difference between the American and French Revolutions. In America, we followed the theory of Natural Law according to John Locke. Locke followed the Book of Romans, and said that YHWH was the source of all Rights and Natural Law. Our Founders embraced Locke’s thinking and applied it and Scripture to their efforts, which is why the Founders ultimately succeeded in their efforts. While Hobbs, on the other hand, said that Man is the source of all rights and law. France embraced Hobbs, and the blood ran in the streets until the sight of children being guillotined in the streets finally shocked the masses into ending the violence. The Founders embraced YHWH as the ultimate source of Rights, Liberty and Natural Law and they succeeded; France embraced Man as the source of rights, law and liberty and they failed. The lesson cannot be more clear, but we refuse to accept it.

There is one more thing we need to understand. We are told that this nation was never intended to be a ‘theocracy,’ that our Founders put a wall of separation between religion and the government. Nothing could be farther from the Truth. It is one of Satan’s clever little schemes: he includes just enough truth to sell you the lie. This nation was intended to be a Theocracy, and the Founders said so. It’s just that the Founders intended all Americans to embrace YHWH’s as their King, and to obey and follow His commands. They set up the government to be nothing more than an earthly administrator of YHWH’s Law. How do we know this is true? Again, by reading what the Founders said:

“…This day, I trust the reign of political protestantism will commence. We have explored the temple of royalty, and found that the idol we have bowed down to, has eyes which see not, ears that hear not our prayers, and a heart like the nether millstone. We have this day restored the Sovereign, to whom alone men ought to be obedient. He reigns in Heaven, and with a propitious eye beholds his subjects assuming that freedom of thought, and dignity of self-direction which He bestowed on them. From the rising to the setting sun, may His kingdom come.”

–Samuel Adams, “American Independence,” August 1, 1776

Samuel Adams told us — clearly and forcefully — that he was looking forward to a rule of political Protestantism. It’s just that the Protestants saw Rome as the Harlot riding the Beast of government, and they sought to return the Church to its proper position as the servant of YHWH and His Son, Yeshua. So, for Sam Adams, the King is YHWH/Yeshua and He rules from Heaven. To those who know the Scriptures, this should be evident in Adam’s language in describing government as having eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear. Remember, Adam’s came out of the Great Awakening, which came out of the Reformation. He knows his Scriptures better than most everyone alive today, and it shows — but only if we have eyes to see and ears to hear.

But this understanding carried forward, to the generation after our Founders. It is expressed succinctly by Robert Winthrop:

“Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them or by a power without them; either by the Word of God or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible or by the bayonet.”

–Robert Winthrop, Speaker of the House, 1847-1849

The simple Truth is this:, many of our Founders spoke or wrote wrods to similar affect, and I have shared some of them in the following post:

In the Founders’ Words: the Essential Role of Religion in Public and Civic Life

So, you see, it is not that our Founders set this nation up to see whether or not Man can rule Himself; they set it up to see whether or not Man can govern himself according to YHWH’s Law. The Founders said so, we just do not want to listen to them anymore than the rich ruler wanted to listen to Yeshua. Sadly, nothing has changed. When I am asked what we need to do and I respond by telling people we must return to YHWH, they walk away in frustration — just like that rich ruler.

Solomon was (and remains) correct: we never learn, and thus, it is all chasing after the wind.

Follow-Up To ‘A Quick Update’

2 Comments

This is a follow-up to my last editorial, ‘A Quick Update.’

In my previous editorial post, I explained that I have pretty much lost all interest in blogging, and why. But I only addressed my emotional position. There are intellectual and financial reasons behind my current thinking, as well.

Intellectually, I am no longer sure that I am actually blogging to help people. I honestly wonder whether or not this is and has always been about stroking my own ego. If this is the case, then I not only want to stop blogging, I need to stop blogging — for my own good, as well as the good of others.

At the same time, I am aware that my current concern over why I blog could be a result of Spiritual growth. As I try to walk more and more on the path Scripture calls us to walk, I see more and more in me that I need to work on changing. The end result is, I have developed a strong sense of, “Who the heck and I to be telling anyone else what to do or how to think?”

Now, couple this with the fact that several readers have contacted me privately to scold me for what one reader called ‘navel gazing.’ I’m not complaining about being criticized or corrected. Trying to decide whether I am being self-centered or not is one of the biggest obstacles to my writing right now. So I not only welcome those who have scolded me, I need it. However, at the same time, those same people need to understand that — to me — questioning our motivation for doing anything that affects the lives of others is never a bad thing. As long as it is sincere, questioning ourselves is one of the best ways to grow ourselves. Still, those readers may not have intended it this way, but it is still correct to realize this whole thing can quickly become a downward spiral that locks us in place, and that is equally as bad as everything else I’ve been discussing.

Finally, there is the financial cost of my blogs. I collapsed them back to just this one because I could not justify the cost of running three. Now, I have pulled the higher level of platforming from TRTC for the same reason. This place only costs me about $500/year to run without adds and with full administrative control on my end, but — right now — that is $500 I might not should be spending. The industry in which I make my living is starting to really suffer from the insanity the NWO is forcing upon the world, and I need to start watching every penny I spend. So, you see, even the $500 that the RTCT costs me has entered into my calculus.

For a time, I toyed with the idea of starting a daily blog-cast, where I produced a video show for those who might be interested. That would have cost me a lot more than TRTC, so it got scrapped, as well.

I have toyed with the idea of asking for contributions, but I don’t always react well to others who do that, so I am hesitant to do it myself. I also thought about making TRTC a private blog where readers had to pay an annual ‘dues’ to gain access to my writing, but — again — why? You guys can get everything I share free from other sources, so why pay me? And, if I ask for help to pay TRTC’s bills, am I still helping people, or have I crossed the line to helping myself? This is not an idle question. Many of the people on the TV and radio these days have compromised themselves so they can keep the audiences they need to pay their bills. Heck, a great many churches have compromised the Scriptures for the same reasons. I’d rather fall off the face of the earth before I do either of those things.

Which brings us right back to my last editorial: I simply do not see where or how I have actually helped anyone. As it is, I do know that I have hurt several people, and each of them weighs heavily on my conscience. If someone can show me that I have done some good, then I might — might — be willing to reconsider my position. However, unless and until that happens (or YHWH makes it clear to me that I am not supposed to stop writing), I am going to just sit, watch and wait. I’ll be here, and I’ll keep the basic functions of my blogs going so you can still access the archives, but — for now — that is all I feel I can or should do. I only pray you will understand…

A Quick Update

2 Comments

To My Subscribers;

It has been a while since my last post. Since that time, I have ended the premium plan for this page. You will most likely start seeing WordPress adds on my page now. It also meant the loss of some of the more recent content. I will not be able to get the lost content back. I apologize for this, but it’s better than the other alternative.

Frankly, I have been thinking about ending my blogging efforts. When I started in 2005, I loved to hear myself talk. Now, I honestly doubt whether my thought have any value and, to be honest, I have grown tired of hearing my own voice. I’d rather just be that quiet old guy in the corner who soaks everything in but keeps his thoughts to himself. Even if you ask him for his opinion, he doesn’t want to answer and, if he does, he says little and it doesn’t seem to mean much. That’s who I think I’d like to become now: the guy people always laugh at because they think he’s just a crazy old man.

I say this because I’ve started to think I am crazy. It’s either that, or I have started to see and understand things in a much broader, far deeper level than anyone I’ve ever met or read — ever! Since that strikes me as arrogant in the extreme, I think the better choice is that I’ve finally gone crazy and, if I have, I have no business talking to anyone about the things that go through my mind.

What’s more, this ‘seeing and understanding’ applies to both the ‘secular’ world as well as the Scriptures. In my mind, they have blended into one grand mosaic that stretches the whole of human history. Oh, don’t get me wrong: I am not claiming to know everything — far from it! In fact, I think I know and understand less now than I ever have. It’s just that I understand where things fit into the bigger picture.

It’s actually hard to explain. It’s like one of those pictures of the Twin Trade Towers made up of pictures of all the people who lost their lives that day. Up close, you see the people, but from far away, you can see the bigger picture. Well, I see the faces, but I also know where they go in the big picture. No, I may not now the exact spot they go, but I know what general section they go in — like I can see the color or shade of the bigger picture where the smaller face belongs. Like I said: it’s hard to explain, and this is the best I can do. But it is very real — at least, it is to me.

In fact, it has gotten so real that I can almost predict those things which are going to happen next. Again, no, I am not saying I am some sort of profit, or that I can see the future. It’s more like, when you watch enough TV shows, you start to recognize patterns in the story lines. After a while, you can see the pattern of a show in the first few minutes and predict — in general terms — how the show is going to turn out and who is going to end up being the ‘bad guy.’

Well, I am starting to see the world this way, and it is all the stuff of cosmic spiritual warfare. In fact, it has become so much so that I no longer think in terms of religious and secular. Now, I think in terms of YHWH and His opposition. Now, I would be more than happy to explain this sort of stuff. I’d write about it all day long, but no one would read it. The more likely outcome is that it would be used to put me into the crazy farm.

So, I have watched, and the world has continued to go down the path I expected it to travel. If you have followed me since the beginning, you might remember a post I wrote on The Rio Norte Line. It was about how the U.S. was traveling down the path of 1930’s Germany. I wrote that article 2013 and, today, looking back, it seems almost prophetic — but it wasn’t. I had just read enough about history, and about what the political leaders seeking to ‘transform’ America had written about what they wanted to do and how that — like TV shows — I came to see the pattern. Once you see the patterns, you can never un-see them. It is how you will always see the world.

Now, I see the patterns, and that tells me how things are going to turn out — in the general sense. The net result is that it has put me into a place I cannot explain. I’m not depressed, or suicidal, or anything like that. I still have hope, but not in Men, or in anything human or even material. I know now that America’s Founders started an experiment in self-governance that — ultimately — proved that Man is incapable of governing Himself. Robert Winthrope was right: we will be ruled either by the Bible or by the sword, but we will be ruled over! Seeing the truth behind those words, and how it has manifest in everything I see these days, I am equally sure of the ultimate outcome — and that has lead to a profound sense of needless loss.

So, rather than try to write in a way that holds all of this back (which would be faking it at this point), or worse, trying to help others see and understand what I am seeing — and why… Well, to be honest, I’ve been beating my head against a wall for 15+ years trying to explain simple material things to my readers. Why would I subject myself to the frustrations that are sure to come if I expand my efforts into trying to explain that the Scriptures are real, and that they are coming true before our very eyes?

There are more than enough people out there who are already convinced they have those answers for you. You can go find one of them. I know I don’t have the answers. I never will. But one does not need to know ‘the hows and the whys’ to see that something is. ‘Science’ knows that the thing it calls gravity is real, but ‘science’ still can’t explain why it is, or how it works. Well, the Spiritual battles I see reflected in this material world are that way for me: I can’t explain them to you, but I can see them and tell you what comes next — I just don’t want to do so. That’s all.

I don’t want to do it because I am convinced it would do more harm than good. Those who already understand don’t need me to explain it. They already see it. And those who don’t see it will never understand because they will never read and research what I write about in enough depth to prove or disprove the truth of my words to themselves. Those people already know what they know — even if it isn’t so. They will never be moved from their beliefs because it is their source of comfort and security. What I offer them is anything but comfortable and secure. Therefore, either way I turn, all I can do now is harm others. Even if it is just myself I harm, I still cause more harm than good.

And so, I have kept quiet — until now. And now — unless something major happens to change my mind — I am going to remain silent once more. I’ll leave the page up, in case you still want to read it. I’m just not sure I have anything of value left to add to it, that’s all.
