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}: [url="http://www.mf.no/bibelprog/vines?word= Edited January 4, 2008 by ajesuschrist_mathetes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited January 8, 2008 by ajesuschrist_mathetes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Edited January 16, 2008 by ajesuschrist_mathetes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
