The following seems to ring true with me. It is from Dr. Byron Weeks. I
have also heard from other Christians that our fight is not with beings who
are containers of the spirit of LIFE from Almighty God. Those who are made
in God's image belong to God. He is to decide when and where they are to
leave this world, as He alone is the Judge. We must not attempt to play
God. However there are, as Byron states, lower beings which God HAS given
us dominion over, many of which are beings of DEATH and DARKNESS masquerading
as beings of LIFE and LIGHT. These creatures, who have no part in the Adamic
covenant, CAN be justifiably destroyed IF they pose a threat to us.
God, I believe, wants ALL of His creation to take part in His redemption, as
there are versus such as "WHOSOEVER will, let them take the water of life
freely", "preach the gospel to every CREATURE," "praise the Lord from the
earth, ye DRAGONS and all deeps". God in many cases told the Israelites
to give their enemies a chance to surrender, and if they did not then to
destroy them utterly. They were dealing with human beings motivated by
demonic entities which had pulled these tribes and nations down into the
lowest pits of animalism, murder, debauchery, and so on. It was God's will
to use Israel as His sword of judgment to keep the infection of evil from
spreading. However this sword had two sides or edges, as was evidenced by
Jehovah's harsh judgment upon the house of Israel when THEY turned from
Him. Basically this resulted in Israel turning their back on God, and thus
having severed themselves from the protecting hand of God the evil one was
able to come in and destroy.
Remember, there are two sides of warfare. There are the OFFENDERS and
the MURDERERS, and then there are the DEFENDERS and the EXECUTIONERS. If
you MUST be involved in warfare between man and man, make absolutely CERTAIN
that you are on the right side! But remember, OFTEN in human warfare BOTH
SIDES are the wrong side!
Should Christians take part in warfare? The Word of God says that "he who
liveth [makes a living] by the sword shall die by the sword" and that "evil
shall slay the wicked". Just remember that there were times of warfare when
Israel lost battles by trusting in the arm of the flesh, and times when they
WON battles by trusting in the power of God, who commanded His angels to
fight these battles so that the Israelites would not even have to lift their
sword against their fellow man. We can seek first the kingdom of God and
GOD will provide all of our needs, including supernatural protection from
our enemies IF WE CAN BELIEVE IT, and trust in God's protecting promises.
Elijah was surrounded by enemy armies, however he was able to see that the
angelic armies WHO SURROUNDED HIS ENEMIES were more then enough to deliver
him and his friends from destruction.
Our job is not to lift our sword against our fellow
man, but against the incarnate hosts of hell itself that would seek to "divide
and conquer" humanity into extinction, those subterranean denizens of evil
who under Luciferian direction seek to devour and destroy all life and
innocence where ever they may find it. When confronted with our human
enemies and our life is in danger it is better to run and hide than to
take another human life. Trust GOD and his angels to deal with those other
misguided humans and also trust God to give you the wisdom, insight and
direction to escape the enemies devices: "the wise man seeth evil coming,
and hideth himself, but the fool passeth on, and is punished". Such people
are merely expendable pawns who are being indoctrinated and ordered to carry
out their missions by the ultimate enemy.
Those in the military must realize that much of the military is under the
control of the hosts of darkness. As for local militias who are not connected
to the military-industrial "powers that would be", do not LOOK for fights.
Your warfare should be spiritual. God will cause the wicked to destroy each
other, so no use having another man's blood on your soul to affect your
SPIRITUAL freedom, which is the most important "freedom" of all. For those
who may be captured by a human enemy, respect that human enemy as someone
created in God's image, for Jesus said "love your enemies", and also "if
a man's ways please the Lord he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with
him". All of these scriptures are in the Bible, I will not cite chapter and
verse but if you wish to look them up they are there.
If you stand accused before armies and authorities, God will give you the
words to speak. "The wrath of man will praise the lord, and the remainder of
wrath He will restrain." So rather than challenging them [who knows, maybe
they have legitimate grievances!? Unless of course we are talking about the
armies of the beast who will have taken the mark of hell and have therefore
forsaken their "birthright" among the human race, having turned their wills
over to Lucifer/Satan]. But if they are "true" human beings, rather than
invoke their wrath against you, instead attempt to instruct them about their
REAL enemy and expose to them the strongholds of this enemy as best you are
able. Yet in doing so do not betray your "true" fellow man to death just to
save your own skin. And if you are in such a dilemma and your spirit is
destined to leave this world, at least you will not have the blood of fellow
human beings on your conscience.
There is a "cancer" in the body of "Adam", and even though some may be
succumbing to the cancer they are not your true enemy unless or until
they are truly spiritually dead with no hope of redemption. But let GOD
decide when this point has been reached, not you. Our job is similar to
that of an immune system T-cell, to attack and destroy the REAL enemy,
the "tumors" so to speak, the command centers of evil where ever they
may be, and the idolatrous WORKS of evil inhabited by beings of death
and darkness.
Sincerely;
Alan
More on the Right of Self Defense
Jesus' teaching was to avoid the use of
force in self-defense, but only for Himself and His apostles, the personal
representatives of the office of the Christ. This has always posed a dilemma
to the conscientious followers of Jesus. He advised that the use of the sword
could only be justified if the opponent was devoid of any manifestation of
the Indwelling Divine Spirit. If such a one has rejected God, and His divine
truths and has embraced Luciferic iniquity, he has shown himself to be a
minion of Lucifer, and thus he has disqualified himself as a part of the
brotherhood of Man—and becomes the enemy of the sons and daughters of God.
In this case, defense by counterforce against unwarranted personal attacks
is permissible under God's law. The threat of deadly force by government
against an innocent citizen, whose only action is refusal to bow to tyranny,
may be tantamount to an act of war, and accordingly may be effectively
and prudently opposed by appropriate counterforce. This dictum is amply
substantiated in scripture. Additionally, use of force in self defense
against Reptilians, Grays, and hubrids is likely justifiable on sight.
This would not include the gray/human hybrids who have a multicolored
aura, and are thought to possess a soul matrix. Dr. Byron Weeks
Moreover, if the
pacifistic view is to be applied in every instance, then we could not have
gained our freedom from the evil British Crown [mad King George] in the
American Revolution. We could not have had God's permission to defeat the
Axis Powers, the Japanese Empire, and World Communism. We would be wrong
in our attempt to defeat the aims of the present Globalist Conspiracy to
reduce us and our posterity to serfdom and slavery and to depopulate the
world via mass murder to an environmentally sustainable level.
Nonetheless, the individual is much more limited in the use of force than
is the society. A group or legislative decision to declare war against
another group or nation is far more just than is the decision of a single
individual such as the President. That is why the Emergency War Powers
Act, which actually suspended the Constitution in March 1933, is a monstrous
tyranny over the minds of the American people. It has been used on many
occasions to sanction the decision of one man, the President, to draft
young men into the military, and to commit and coerce the youth of our
country to the unrighteous use of weapons of war—to become the evil
instruments of the mindless killing of other soldiers and innocent civilians
in wars that cannot be justified under the laws of God.
In my opinion,
the prime example of an unjustified presidential decision to declare war
would be the apocalyptic, merciless criminality of Vietnam with its
relentless slaughter, and the countless tragic betrayals that shattered
the lives of so many of our young fighting men. And we cannot forget
those bullying intrusions in Haiti, Somalia, Iraq (the Gulf War) and
Bosnia, none of which have really been won. The recent cruise missile
attacks in Afghanistan and Sudan were made by the reckless decision of
President Clinton alone, and seem likely to result in major escalations
of terrorism, perhaps leading to an all out conflagration and World War
III.
