OUR MOUNTING PROBLEMS

AND

THE STRANGER WITHIN

By

Robert Bruce Record

The problems confronting our nation are legion, and much time, money and energy are being expended to help meet and solve these problems; but the tragedy is that nothing we do ever seems to get us anywhere.  Why?

Our Basic Problem is Certain People

Well, first of all we are dealing with the effects of a system that is basically wrong. There is no possible way of ever solving our economic problems as long as Congress permits private banking interests to control our money, forcing us ever deeper and deeper into debt. And 90% of our problems are directly or indirectly related to money and its abuse.

America Is Basically Christian

If we are going to deal effectively with our mounting problems, we must begin to see that America is basically Christian, and the beginning of the restoration of the kingdom of God. The Constitution by which this country was run (or was until we joined the United Nations), is based upon Biblical law. And because these things are so, our problems are largely moral and spiritual. It is the failure of our people to abide by the Christian and Biblical standards on which this country was built that has led to the crisis in which we find ourselves.

This brings us back to our previous contention that our basic problem is people – a certain kind of people. It is a people who do not believe in our God and our way of life, and who spend many of their working hours doing everything they can to undermine and destroy our American Way of Life. They have been eating away at our national foundations like termites until this nation is only a shell of its former self. And to this day, both religious and political leaders alike seem to be wholly unaware of the source of our trouble. It lies in the people.

The People Who Built This Country

One of the reasons for our blindness in this respect, is, that for years our people have been brainwashed by religious leaders to the effect that, as a nation, we were nothing but a polyglot nation of Gentiles from hither and yon. But America is the land of the white man. The people who founded and built this country came from England and Western Europe, and they are Anglo-Saxon, Nordic, and kindred and English speaking peoples. What is more, we are the literal descendants of ancient Israel! We are what we are, and we have what we have, because God has given these things to us in fulfillment of His promises.

I have said this by way of pointing to pertinent truth brought out in some of our Lord’s parables. When it is realized that we are God’s kingdom nation, and the beginning of the restoration of the kingdom of God, these parables speak volumes to our country today. They certainly have no meaning whatever if you attempt to apply them to the Jews, or modern Israel over there in the Mideast.

The Bad Must Be Gathered Out

In Matthew 13:47-50 we have Christ’s parable of the drag-net, and in verses 47-48 we find Jesus saying:

     “The kingdom if heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and

      gathered of every kind; which when it was full, they drew to shore, and

      sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.”

Here we have described what has happened here in America. The fish are people. To our shores have come people from every clime and nation. And our Lord’s application of this is; that at the end of the age, God’s angels, or messengers, would come forth and sever the wicked from the just. It is the wicked that are the source of our trouble. To get rid of our trouble, we get rid of the people who cause it!

The Evil Tares Must Be Judged

Then there is the parable of the tares among the wheat in Matthew 13:24-30. In God’s kingdom nation God planted wheat, or the children of the kingdom. But while men slept an enemy sowed tares. In other words a deliberate attempt was made to sabotage the children of the kingdom. These tares were no part of the wheat, but like darnel, may have appeared to be wheat in the growing stage. It was not until the time of the harvest, or the end of the age, that the tares are revealed for what they are, and then they are gathered into bundles and burned! In our Lord’s explanation of this parable He identifies the tares as “all things that offend, and those which do iniquity” or practice lawlessness.

Now the truth set forth in these and other parables of our Lord, all go for naught and fall on deaf ears, to those who are trying to squeeze the Jew, a religious sect, into the role of national Israel! The Jews did not have a national home until 1948; nor do these parables apply to them.

What I’m saying is this. The tares as claiming to be Israel, but are not, are claiming Israel’s inheritance and have had an evil influence upon the children of the kingdom. They are the corrupters of their religion, their morals, their schools and their politics.

The Stranger Within

As being tares, they are really aliens and strangers. They are not of the wheat. This brings to mind a prophecy by Moses in Deuteronomy 28:43-44, which has its fulfillment in our day, and in our day only:

     “The stranger that is within thee shalt get up above thee very high; and thou

     shalt come down very low. He shall led to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he

     shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.”

When this prophecy was made, Israel had not yet reached the land of Palestine. Nor was it ever fulfilled in them when they reached Palestine to possess it. Then it would have to have its fulfillment in these last days when Israel was gathered in the “appointed place” of II Samuel 7:10 (and I Chron. 17:9). It could never fulfill in them while they were scattered.

His Control Of Our Money

Now the only way that the tares, or the stranger within, could get up very high over Israel, and they come down very low, or, for the stranger to be the head, and Israel the tail, is that the stranger gain control of the country so as to dictate its policies! And please note that this stranger was to have control of our money. He would lend to us – not we to him.
We would do well to recall here, what Meyer Amschel Rothschild said back in 1790:

      “Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who

       writes its laws.”

For over 90 years now, the money of this nation has been controlled by the Federal Reserve Banks, a privately owned and run institution. Under their control we have borrowed from them until today we are in debt to them to the tune of Trillions. And through their control of our money, they control our politics, and thus are the head, and we are the tail. That is why it does not make any difference who we send to Washington anymore, and why our country is being run the way it is!

The Conflict Between Christianity And Antichrist

Let us note something else. With the coming of Christ in the first century A.D., and the introduction of this Christian dispensation, the purpose of God has been for the Christian manifestation, but opposed to it, and seeking to suppress and even destroy, is the “antichrist” manifestation. The very “gates of hell” would rise up in opposition to Christ and His kingdom and it would come from the forces of antichrist.  The same people who demanded the death of our Lord would be working all through the Christian era to vent their hatred of Christ and Christianity. They were the enemies of Paul, and the early church, and were the instigators of the persecution brought against the early Christians. Our Lord’s characterization them in John 8:44 is, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.”  And few of them have ever changed!

The Forces Of Antichrist Given A Free Hand

The conflict here in America, therefore, is basically that of Christianity with antichrist. And what with most preachers on prophecy focusing the attention of our people on a fictitious personal Antichrist who is supposed to arise immediately after the church is raptured, there being few who are aware of the working of the real antichrists spoken of by John. In fact many Christians are hailing them as “the chosen people,” and are defending their rape of the Arabs in the Mideast.

Thus it is that the forces of antichrist have been given pretty much of a free hand. Any opposition to them is cried down with the hate slogan of “anti-Semitism!” But the fact is, most of them have no more Israel blood in their veins than does Sammy Davis, Jr.  They are simply Jews by religion!

When Our Lord Returns

Because they now sit in the saddle, and are the head, and we are the tail, we can expect no relief from our mounting problems until Jesus comes. But I would have us note that one of the first things our Lord does upon His return is to gather out the tares and judge them. And when the tares are gathered out, our Lord then says, “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” (Matt.13:43)  Let us praise the Lord that with the end of the age upon us, the cleansing of our nation is not far hence.
