A BLOOD WAR

   Controlling and domineering people use ANGER as their weapon of warfare to keep their subjects in line and in obedience to their commands.  They are like toddlers, always wanting their own way and always wanting others to do as they say.  When there is disobedience in the camp, they throw temper tantrums and stomp.  Their words come out of their mouths as flaming darts.  Those in obedience to their commands buckle at the knees:  they do not resist, and, like trained puppy dogs, they heel, for they are always on a leash. 
   In families, they are the keeper of the clock, for they control work time, play time, rest time, chow time, and also church time. 
   Controlling and domineering people are PRIDEFUL.  They are selfish, always wanting their own way as well as the way of others within their command.  They are also envious and jealous.  In their own minds, no one else is better than themselves.  They are proud of themselves, proud of their homes, proud of their possessions, and most proud of their religion or church. They have no praise for others for that would rob them of the shine of their own halo.  If they do something for others, they expect a "thank you" card to arrive in the mail.  Disagree with them, and their fury will come out of their eyes and mouths like fire-breathing dragons.  And they will stomp.
   Controlling and domineering governments are also prideful, for they are managed by prideful people; and the personality characteristics of a controlling and domineering government are the same as prideful individuals.  If people do not buckle at the knees, they will employ ANGER to get people to toe the line.  This is when the government will send soldiers to capture, imprison, or even kill disobedient citizens.
   But beyond individuals and governments, religion also controls and dominates people; and religion will use ANGER if it does not get its way; and religion will send its soldiers to capture, imprison, or even kill disobedient people within its command.
   Jesus was killed by angry people.  They were prideful, wanting their own way, and thus they killed the Son of God, believing that they could continue living without the interference of Almighty God.
   The people who killed Jesus were also religious as well as members of government. 
   As for the millions of martyrs of Jesus, they were also killed by angry people---members of religion, which was also the government, for religion and government had merged as one body.  Thus,  religion sent its soldiers to capture, imprison, and to murder the people who believed in Christ.
   Therefore we are engaged in spiritual warfare, which is A BLOOD WAR.  This war features the soldiers of Satan against the soldiers of Christ, which is a war that began with the crucifixion of Christ as well as a war that is not yet finished; for in the future, when government and religion become one, Christians will be captured, imprisoned, and killed by the prideful people of government and the prideful people of religion. 
   As Christians, this is our future.  What we have, however, is what the world is missing:
      But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.  For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.  (Hebrews 2: 9-10)
