"And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." Jesus of Nazareth, Mark 3: 24-25.
In the United States, radical extremists have been fueling the flames of racism for a long, long time, convincing people to believe that they are still victims of slavery because of the color of their skin, and the evidence of that lie came alive last night when the city of Ferguson, Missouri went up in smoke.
At the same, radical extremists have been fueling the flames of gender inequality by convincing women that they are still victims of slavery because their sex as females.
Racism and gender inequality have been an operation by radical extremists, flying in double-wing formation for a long, long time, seeking to change America's laws to fit their own agendas.
The protesters in Ferguson did not agree with America's judicial system. They wanted revenge, not justice. In truth, all they wanted was a crucifixion, or a hanging by the neck until dead---an eye for an eye, or a death for a death. And when they did not get their way with our nation's legal system, they reacted as toddlers without parents.
Today, Ferguson looks like a city that has been destroyed by terrorists, which is the way cities look all across the Middle East.
Now, however, let me share three quotations from the mind of Paul Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany, from 1933-1945:
1. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
2. "Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play."
3. "Whoever can conquer the street will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street."
Now look at what happened to Germany under the leadership of a dictatorship-run state: Germany became a land of chaos, followed by destruction, thereby leaving the people of Germany in a heap of rubble and ashes because their freedom was stolen from them, and Germany went up in smoke.
If we will examine human history, we will see that all of man's empires upon the earth have fallen because of internal corruption. All of them have fallen, and all of them have gone up in smoke.
Knowing this is true, then we should also believe that the freedom of this nation or any nation will not stand when the house is divided, or when people are divided from people: when bad people arise at the top and when good people are imprisoned and killed.
Unless God helps us, then we will also see this once great and powerful nation fall because of internal corruption---to the extent that this nation will one day go up in smoke.
God, on the other hand, has promised He will help us if we will trust in Him:
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2nd Chronicles 7: 14)
