The assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan on Thursday December 27, 2007 personally gave me a certain something. In addition to what The Holy Spirit has given to my spirit - a spiritual judgment that The Lord Jesus Christ is bringing this to the End.

The world's response to the assassination was that "certain something"- like a response from a dead/dying world. Few days of riots, threats from the filth of al-Qaida, Kenya riots, Hannah Montana and the USA's "Race to '08". The UK's Scotland Yard will look into the assassination...

I lived thru the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Anwar Sadat, Yitzhak Rabin [1995]-of course, many more happened. As far as I am concerned, the who/why of just JFK's assassination and the follow on {the mystery of the Zapruder film, the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby on TV in the midst of Dallas police,...} is unknown, in spite of all the efforts to get to the "truth". I am not particularly a conspiracy theory person, and in fact get repelled with most of it. Guess have to accept that our "Christian" nation ["God Bless America"] dropped 2 atom bombs on Japan and has had the CIA assassinating foreign leaders and torturing enemies/lying about it up to the present time-expect that to continue.

"When Presidents Lie" by Eric Alterman {he spent 11 years on this book-PHD quality}. When USA President Eisenhower lied in 1960 and said that the USSR did not shoot down a USA U-2 spy plane, I believed him totally. I was 16 years old. KNEW that the commies/USSR were godless liars. When Eisenhower admitted he lied, a fundamental part of me was permanently broken. When USA President Nixon swore on nationwide TV {circa 1974} he was telling the truth about Watergate, I almost believed him. But he was lying. Taught unshareable things by The LORD GOD since then--> John 8:44 "...devil...murderer from the beginning....liar and the father of it."-being an enormous Scriptural truth to me.

The world is drowning in murder and lies. The so-called "Case For Democracy" as an approach to the world's nations has been shown-in my judgment-to be an empty nothingness from "worthlessness" { definition of Belial}:

In addition to "The Case For Democracy" {2004-Natan Sharansky}, I believe yesterday's article by Charles Krauthammer are very educational for serious students of Democracy and world events. I believe that The Word of God abundantly shows that Democracy is from Belial:

Do you truly believe that 'Belial' would be a supporter of democracy? That doesn't compute, my friend. And the Krauthammer article simply expounds on the theory that all politics are local. I don't get it. :emot-hug:

Yes definitely re Belial/Satan/devil/etc. Hater and opposer of The LORD GOD - exact opposite to "thy will be done" for a simple example. Consider recorded history after the Jews rejected The LORD GOD as ruler and parallels to today in the USA and elsewhere:

http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/1Sa/1Sa008.html#top

Consider Romans 13:1-7, for example, and the USA rebellion against the king of England/ American Revolution then lots of history of the "fruit" of Democracy. As a small example, the gasoline crisis in 1973 in the USA, OPEC, gasoline/energy crisis/hostage to Mideast, project Energy Independence/Strategic Petroleum reserve/...? What happened, hm? I lived before, thru and after that-most people probably too young to understand. Democracy, "will of the people", damnation by The LORD GOD???

Henry Morris' book "God and The Nations" gives a broad sweep thru recorded history and the various forms of government {semi-theocracy, kings, military dictatorships, pure democracy, constitutional republics,...}.

The book "The Case For Democracy" and that article are part of the data I cherish re doing in-depth study:both give, to me, great scholarship and neither even mention the view re Belial. Neither does "When Presidents Lie".

Probably expecting way too much out of a message board--ideally, would be college-level students who do all the required reading of texts and THEN reply as The Holy Spirit leads, if He does.

I have been blessed to have a passionate NEED for the truth {100% or nothing} and the time to do research. Few people, here on worthy or elsewhere, share this-not that they should, not saying that at all.

Since Jesus Christ will rule with a rod of Iron in the future, doesn't sound like polls/elections/etc.. At least to me sounds like an absolute Dictatorial rule by The King of Kings, Lord of Lords. God rules.

For serious students of this topic , just consider these Scriptures:

Deut 12:8

Judges 17:6

Judges 21:25

Proverbs 3:7;21:2

Isaiah 53:6

Jeremiah 9:14;11:8;13:10;16:12;18:12

Acts 14:16;17:30

Jesus has divine right as far as being King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I long for Him to rule this world.

You didn't expound on the Krauthammer article and exactly how it ties in with your view of democracy.

i don't quite get the point. it's only common sense that if democracy is a form of government that represents the people, the democratic government will resemble the people they represent.

This is just a small fraction of the intent of this chain, but the following link is extremely useful to those who have read "The Case For Democracy"-from 2007 "Washington Post". For those also following closely USA's Pres. Bush's 8 day trip to the Mideast {he's on day 7 today,Tuesday January 15, 2008} even more useful:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...ml?hpid=topnews

You may have noticed that that Pres Bush in Saudi Arabia this morning requested OPEC to help with gas/oil and prices. G. Bush said:"we're your best customer" referring to the USA, now on the edge or going into a recession. As my initial post pointed out in 1973 and the OPEC gas crisis---what happened? Guess the will of the people in USA to continue to over-consume and over-pollute the earth prevented and apparently will prevent the USA from ever "going green" and looks like the planet is pretty much done also. The global obesity and type-2 diabetes pandemic ...ah, talking to the wall.

Those intensely considering Joel 3:1-2 re a possible Mideast Peace deal between Israel/Palestinians and dividing of Jerusalem-hello out there. Perhaps?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
