We Must Not Do Nothing |
by the Editor |
Anyone who has heard the appalling conduct going on in parts of Australia with people under house arrest needs to know that this madness could descend here if the likes of Matt Hancock aren't stopped. Take a look at this quote from an article from The Independent: "On at least three or four occasions in the past week we’ve had to smash the windows of people in cars and pull them out of there so they could provide their details because they weren’t telling us where they were going, they weren’t adhering to the chief health officer guidelines, they weren’t providing their name and their address." This is absolutely obscene, people not wanting to interact with tin pot dictators now warrants physical violence. The full article can be found here: An archived version is available here for if the article is changed or deleted: http://archive.is/dtlWc Finally the mainstream media is starting to slowly push the truth that the COVID-19 death totals are over-exaggerated and that the lockdown itself has caused deaths totalling in the 10s of thousands (that could hit into the hundreds of thousands if this madness continues with a vast spike in unemployment expected at the back end of the year). I think to the scriptures and the example of Nehemiah comes to mind and his reaction when the people were being treated disgracefully. Please read the below: Nehemiah Chapter 5 Verses 1-15 1 And there was a great crie of the people, and of their wiues, against their brethren the Iewes. 2 For there were that said, We, our sonnes, and our daughters are many: therefore wee take vp corne for them, that we may eat, and liue. 3 Some also there were that saide, We haue morgaged our landes, vineyards and houses, that we might buy corne, because of the dearth. 4 There were also that said, Wee haue borrowed money for the kings tribute, and that vpon our lands and vineyards. 5 Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and loe, wee bring into bondage our sonnes and our daughters, to bee seruants, and some of our daughters are brought vnto bondage already, neither is it in our power to redeeme them: for other men haue our lands and vineyards. 6 ¶ And I was very angry, when I heard their crie, and these words. 7 Then I consulted with my selfe, and I rebuked the Nobles, and the rulers, and said vnto them, You exact vsurie, euery one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them: 8 And I said vnto them, We, after our abilitie, haue redeemed our brethren the Iewes, which were sold vnto the heathen; and will you euen sell your brethren? or shall they be sold vnto vs? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answere. 9 Also I said, It is not good that yee doe: ought yee not to walke in the feare of our God, because of the reproch of the heathen our enemies? 10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my seruants, might exact of them money and corne: I pray you let vs leaue off this vsurie. 11 Restore, I pray you, to them, euen this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliue-yards, and their houses, also the hundreth part of the money, and of the corne, the wine, and the oyle, that ye exact of them. 12 Then said they, Wee will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we doe, as thou sayest. Then I called the Priests, and tooke an oath of them, that they should doe according to this promise. 13 Also I shooke my lap, and said, So God shake out euery man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, euen thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the Congregation said, Amen, and praised the Lord. And the people did according to this promise. 14 ¶ Moreouer, from the time that I was appointed to be their gouernor in the land of Iudah, from the twentieth yeere euen vnto the two and thirtieth yere of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelue yeres, I and my brethren, haue not eaten the bread of the gouernour: 15 But the former gouernours that had bene before me, were chargeable vnto the people, and had taken of them bread, and wine, beside fourtie shekels of siluer, yea euen their seruants bare rule ouer the people: but so did not I, because of the feare of God. King James 1611 Bible Nehemiah didn't do nothing when something was wrong. He did what he could to help sort the matter. I take from this that Nehemiah was a good man who so cared for the people that he wouldn't even take from them what he could lawfully ask in his role of governor. Each of us can do what little we can whether that be refusing to wear a mask and citing the Bill of Rights (see below) if anyone threatens to fine you or whether that be directly challenging our Members of Parliament and our local councils or whether you have your own other little or big ways of challenging what is going on. This video came to my attention this week from the group called Keep Britain Free: Their website is here: https://www.keepbritainfree.com They also have a forum section here: https://www.keepbritainfree.com/forum Coronavirus/COVID-19 is a cover for a draconian takeover, it is obvious. Look around you. Illnesses go round year after year. Sadly some people die of them, but if you start shutting the place down then more people start dying for other reasons. The Georgia Guidestones in one of their messages says: "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature." Not only do the draconian measures we are seeing kill existing people, they also stop new ones being born as people stop meeting each other. So are we seeing some grand scheme playing out to drastically lower the population of the earth? Of course we know that God wins in the end, but I ask you is it right that we just sit and do nothing? Remember how Daniel reacted when the appalling law banning him from petitioning God was made. He carried on praying to God. God took care of the rest and protected Daniel. Daniel Chapter 6 (Complete) 1 It pleased Darius to set ouer the kingdome an hundred and twenty Princes, which should be ouer the whole kingdome. 2 And ouer these, three Presidents, (of whom Daniel was first) that the Princes might giue accompts vnto them, and the King should haue no damage. 3 Then this Daniel was preferred aboue the Presidents, and Princes, because an excellent spirit was in him, and the king thought to set him ouer the whole realme. 4 ¶ Then the Presidents and Princes sought to finde occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdome, but they could finde none occasion, nor fault: forasmuch as he was faithfull, neither was there any errour or fault found in him. 5 Then said these men, We shall not finde any occasion against this Daniel, except wee finde it against him concerning the Law of his God. 6 Then these Presidents and Princes assembled together to the king, and said thus vnto him, King Darius, liue foreuer. 7 All the Presidents of the kingdome, the gouernours, and the Princes, the counsellers and the captaines haue consulted together to establish a royall statute, and to make a firme decree, that whosoeuer shall aske a petition of any God or man for thirty dayes, saue of thee, O King, hee shall be cast into the denne of Lions. 8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and signe the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes & Persians, which altereth not. 9 Wherefore King Darius signed the writing and the decree. 10 ¶ Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, hee went into his house, and his windowes being open in his chamber toward Ierusalem, hee kneeled vpon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gaue thankes before his God, as hee did afore time. 11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying, and making supplication before his God. 12 Then they came neere, and spake before the king concerning the kings decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that euery man that shall aske a petition of any God or man, within thirty dayes, saue of thee, O king, shalbe cast into the denne of Lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. 13 Then answered they and said before the king; That Daniel which is of the captiuity of the children of Iudah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. 14 Then the king, when hee heard these wordes, was sore displeased with himselfe, and set his heart on Daniel to deliuer him: and he laboured till the going downe of the sunne, to deliuer him. 15 Then these men assembled vnto the king, and said vnto the king, Know O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree nor statute which the king establisheth, may bee changed. 16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the denne of Lions: now the king spake and saide vnto Daniel; Thy God, whom thou seruest continually, he will deliuer thee. 17 And a stone was brought and laid vpon the mouth of the denne, and the King sealed it with his owne signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. 18 ¶ Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musicke brought before him, and his sleepe went from him. 19 Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste vnto the den of Lyons. 20 And when he came to the den, he cryed with a lamentable voice vnto Daniel, and the king spake and said to Daniel: O Daniel, seruant of the liuing God, Is thy God whom thou seruest continually, able to deliuer thee from the Lyons? 21 Then said Daniel vnto the king, O king, liue for euer. 22 My God hath sent his Angel, and hath shut the lyons mouthes that they haue not hurt me: forasmuch as before him, innocencie was found in me; and also before thee, O king, haue I done no hurt. 23 Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel vp out of the denne: so Daniel was taken vp out of the den, and no maner of hurt was found vpon him, because he beleeued in his God. 24 ¶ And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of Lyons, them, their children, and their wiues: and the Lyons had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or euer they came at the bottome of the den. 25 ¶ Then king Darius wrote vnto all people, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied vnto you. 26 I make a decree, That in euery dominion of my kingdome, men tremble and feare before the God of Daniel: for he is the liuing God, and stedfast for euer, and his kingdome that, which shal not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be euen vnto the end. 27 He deliuereth and rescueth, and he worketh signes and wonders in heauen and in earth: who hath deliuered Daniel from the power of the lyons. 28 So this Daniel prospered in the reigne of Darius, and in the reigne of Cyrus the Persian. King James 1611 Bible We need to reopen the Church buildings maskless and without anti-social distancing and trust God like Daniel did to sort whatever the government throw at us in response. Of course joint worship can be held in any building or outdoors (or online as many are currently doing) and we must start doing that again. The Church buildings are just an easy location where we all know we can go to. The Bible tells us: Matthew Chapter 18 Verses 19-20 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the midst of them. King James 1611 Bible Clearly those verses show we don't have to be in a specific place, we just have to be gathered together in His Name. The personal touch goes with online meeting though and that is the one thing we are collectively missing. It doesn't destroy our faith that the Church buildings are in some cases shut (and in other cases open in bizarre and abnormal fashions) and perhaps it will knock us into order to stand for our faith, but the point stands that we can't do nothing whilst our country is destroyed and the poor downtrodden. Nehemiah didn't allow the abuse of the poor and neither should we. To finish read this promise from Jesus below: Mark Chapter 10 Verses 28-31 28 ¶ Then Peter began to say vnto him, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee. 29 And Iesus answered, and said, Uerily I say vnto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the Gospels, 30 But hee shall receiue an hundred fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternall life: 31 But many that are first, shall be last: and the last, first.
