Tim LaHaye’s Perspective – September, 1999
All thinking people in America realize an anti-Christian, anti-moral,
and anti-American philosophy permeates this country and the world. It
dominates the public school system from kindergarten through graduate
school. It controls the media from the daily print press to popular magazines
(from porno to mainline), the six major TV networks, most of all cable TV;
it dominates the entertainment industry, and it elects a predominance of
liberals to both parties in our national government.
This alien philosophy does not come from the Bible, but is antithetical
to it. In this country it flies under the banner of “liberalism,” but in reality it
is atheistic socialism at best and Marxism at worst. If those who hold this
philosophy were honest and admitted publicly they were hostile to God, His
Son Jesus Christ, moral values and true freedom for all individuals, they
would be voted out of office in three quarters of the congressional districts
and states in our country. Instead, they use the title “liberal” to define
themselves and include the ACLU (the most harmful organization in
American history), unions like the NEA (the largest teachers union in the
country), and thousands of other “liberal” organizations to destroy the
Biblical principles this country was founded on and replace them with
freedom from responsibility. These actions always lead to anarchy.
Anyone who takes the time to study the very effective workings of
these “liberal” organizations will find they despise the mention of God
(except in blasphemy), they disparage the name and people of Jesus Christ
(easily the most influential person in all of human history), and they defame
the moral values of Scripture (like virtue, honesty, and reverence). Instead,
they advocate promiscuity by providing radically explicit sex education and
providing condoms to minors, disregarding the concerns of the parents. They
advocate homosexuality and demand that such sodomites be permitted to
teach our young people. Abortion on demand is their way of coping with the
unfortunate results of promiscuity, but they expect government to supply the
money for research to overcome the sexually transmitted diseases that result
from ignoring Biblical morality. Yet, these socialist communists who
masquerade as “liberals” or “moderates” repeatedly condemn the Christian
community for “imposing” our moral values on them, while raising our
taxes to pay for the human tragedies that result from their anti-moral,
government encouraged, libertine policies.
The fact that this socialist Marxist philosophy dominates most of the
governments of the world in the name of “democratic socialism” can be seen
by the kind of delegates they have sent to the United Nations to set up their
version of global government. The average man or woman can see that
these “liberals” hate Christianity and its moral values, but they embrace (or
tolerate) any other religion, such as Wicca, which I saw them practice at the
UN headquarters in New York as a “devotional experience.” This is similar
to the recent radio report by Dr. Laura Slessinger of the Army chaplain who
was rebuked for mentioning the name of Jesus during a service in the Army
chapel, but then these same rebukers condoned a Wicca service on the same
airbase in the name of tolerance.
The purchase of the 1996 election of the United States for Bill Clinton
by the Chinese communists (which has been downplayed or ignored by our
socialistic Marxist loving media) has resulted in the most corrupt
administration in American history. Our current leaders see nothing wrong
with betraying our national security secrets to their socialist Marxist friends
whose world government policies they share.
All of which highlights the importance of the US elections in the year
2000. Have you noticed how the socialist Marxist media, unions, and liberal
politicos are gearing up for this election? They know that he who controls
the appointing of the next three Supreme Court justices will influence the
philosophy of the United States for the next twenty-five years. This may
make it the most significant election in our lifetime.
We are the only nation that can halt the socialist Marxist
enthronement of the UN as THE GLOBAL GOVERNMENT of the world,
but it will require a conservative administration and Supreme Court
committed to judicially interpreting our nation’s laws that were originally
based on moral Biblical principles.
Obviously, all it would take for the world government of socialistic
Marxism to dominate this world with more anti-Christian, anti-moral values
is the rapture of all Christians and the appearance of “the Man of Sin” who
for seven years will “do his will.” The signs of such a possibility are more
apparent than they have ever been before.
One of the chief characteristics of the Antichrist’s government will be
“lawlessness,” according to 2 Thess. 2:8. As soon as “He who now restrains
will do so until He is taken out of the way” (whom most prophecy scholars
consider to be the Holy Spirit’s presence in believers), is taken out of this
world at the time of the rapture, then the “lawless one” will be revealed. Not
only does that teach that the rapture occurs just before the Antichrist is
revealed, it also teaches that we are the restraining influence in the world
today.
Can you even imagine what our world would be like culturally and
socially if all the Christians were snatched out of this world? Suddenly there
would be no one to champion the cause of the unborn, or oppose Planned
Parenthood’s promotion of sexual promiscuity and abortion in the public
school, or government corruption or laws against gambling, drugs,
homosexuality, pornography, and the list goes on. Bear in mind, these sins
are already being advocated at government expense in the model nation in
the world, the country that is called “the last best hope of mankind.” The
spontaneous carnage and immorality at Woodstock ’99 is only a sample of
what life will be like after the Rapture. For there will be no “religious right”
trying to “impose Biblical morality” on the people. Instead, as it says in
Revelation 9:20-21 of those “lawless” days when Antichrist rules the earth,
“But the rest of mankind…did not repent of their works…that they should
not worship demons, and idols…and did not repent of their murders or their
sorceries (drugs) or their sexual immorality or their thefts.”
If sixty million or so Christians were suddenly removed from this
earth, leaving it without any morally “restraining” influence, how long do
you think it would take for the other 200 million to turn this entire nation
into Woodstoock 2000 – everyday, everywhere? Let’s face it, the
Antichrist’s philosophy is already here. And the only “restraining” influence
are packing their bags because soon there will be “a shout from heaven” and
we are out of here. I sure hope you are ready!
