"The Speech"

Delivered in 1964 in support of Sen Barry Goldwater for President

It is said by many, even Reagan himself, this speech defined Reagan's future political career, identifying him as a serious voice to be heard. He euphemistically referred to this speech as "The Speech", indicating his recognition of it being a turning point in his life's beliefs that would later guide him in his endeavors. It is a speech that resounds in our generation today. Listen carefully, then, read the article at right, "Who Will Say "No More" to the Current Madness?", by Victor Davis Hansen.

Just one question: If, if this is true then why do our politicians and those who do their bidding in the media possess the spirit of antichrist—an anti-Christian spirit that treats others with such hostility, disrespect and mean-spirited? Why is the state of our country so godless and in an advanced state of decay and decline? Something is grossly immoral and amiss! hr
Consider this from 3 of our founding fathers:
  1. Benjamin Franklin - Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.
  2. Jedidiah Morse - Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government - and all blessings which flow from them - must fall with them.
  3. John Adams - Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

This may help to answer some of your questions as to our current national state of affairs. The honest student of history knows this to be true. Also read:

The Future Of Urban Consumption In A 1.5°c World
Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate organization known as the "C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group," which has an "ambitious target" by the year 2030 of '0 kg [of] meat consumption," "0 kg [of] dairy consumption," "3 new clothing items per person per year," "0 private vehicles" owned, and "1 short-haul return flight (less than 1500 km) every 3 years per person."
This is designed to: 1) destroy the cohesiveness of societies thus making them much easier to control, and 2) reduce the world population by 90+ per cent. Read their Agenda 2030 Plan, in their own words. Most people still don't know how much more, much more, their lives are going to drastically change in the next 6+ yrs.

We Must Pivot or Perish
Here are two key videos that represent the pivotal time the world finds itself in once again in the course of human history. Jesus warned us the time before His return would be as it was in the days of Noah, before the first cataclysmic event of the flood. It was a time of such evil only one man and his household acknowledged God in all his ways. To the intellectually honest person one has to admit God is rapidly being driven from the ways of men once again. How far down this path we have strayed is mere speculation but if Biblical history teaches us anything the teachings found in Paul's writing to the Romans who had become so decadent and godless must be carefully considered as a warning to us today. It would be wise for one to read this Biblical red flag before it is too late for us. (Romans 1)
To Donald J. Trump and all who aspire to lead as long as you surround yourselves with and support those such as below our country will never heal. There must be a clean break with those who are corrupt and speak from the deceit of their hearts. No longer are they cloaked in the collective darkness of their deeds (John 3:19-21). The people finally see. Now we must act if we are to live free, not as our lustful hearts' desire but as a Godly people once again. As Christians we are compelled to stop cowering before this godless generation and live boldly in our faith in Him.

There was a time not too long ago when being a "statesman" was an aspirational goal for those who sought to lead. It was a time when, if the course of events led us to the dark boundaries of fair play and common Godly sense in our public affairs, a single voice from one well-suited to speak would rise above the clamor of all and do so with an authority that would bring us together for the good of the nation. We would be led away from such threatening times. In this late hour, from France, the world has its first. It awaits for the next.

Book: Adam2

Guide For The Walk Home

The following is taken from the Book, Adam2: A Guide For The Walk Home, written by our founder. It is A Commentary On The Gospel Of John, complete with a background look at the contemporary Jewish groups active in Jesus' day. It includes a summary of each chapter, a redacted study of each disciple, a brief study of Gnosticism of the time, pertinent timelines, and much more. Each chapter of study includes extensive Biblical references to the notes on the chapter.

A chronological excerpt of each section will be posted here at the beginning of each month. You can access free of charge at any time a complete online digital version for your further study. In addition, a link will be provided to purchase the book on CD to install on your own computer for convenience of study and print. All we ask is that you observe the stated copyrights as with any book you buy over the counter, limiting your print to only one hard copy for your own personal use. If further hard copies are necessary, please contact us for an additional nominal fee. Thank you for your interest in this study. Our hope and prayer is that through the work of the Holy Spirit as you study you will be blessed by it, and if so, recommend it to a friend.

Now for the Conclusion to the background study of the 5 major Jewish groups in Jesus' time for preparation of the textual study of the Gospel of John in the book: Adam2.


Having looked now at some possible origins, developments, beliefs, and comparisons of five major Jewish groups in Jesus' day, the obvious question that remains to be asked is: what of their end? Since these groups all had their roots in Judaism (which flourished within a free Jewish state, whether under independent rule or favorable foreign occupation), it stands to reason that if those conditions were altered, then changes were inevitable. Hopefully, it has become clear to the reader that the Jewish state did not end because Rome was hostile to their religion. On the contrary, Rome's stated policy on the religion of other conquered nations was: religio-lictus, which is Latin for a lawful religion recognized as legitimate within that nation. However, due to the seditious nature of a certain element that led to the fall of Jerusalem and the Jewish state in A.D.70, life for the Jews would never be the same.

For the scribes whose role in Judaism was more function than political, as long as there remained a need for the preservation and reproduction of God's revelation and the chronicles of Israel's history, they would always have their place in Jewish society, no matter the state of it (even to modern times). From Genesis to Malachi, God had inspired holy men made wise through the knowledge of His revelation to record His continuing record. However, failing to recognize and embrace Jesus as their expected messiah, the first century self-righteous scribes had abdicated their position as the truly wise of Israel, as once seen in their predecessors. God would no longer use these "whited sepulchers" as vessels for His continuing revelation. He would choose a tax collector, Galilean fishermen, a Gentile physician, a turncoat Pharisee, etc., men unlearned in the hierarchy of Jewish tradition and wisdom (with the exception of one), to confound the wise of the day and complete the record of His revelation.

World Without Christ
World Without Christ

Most of us have either heard or heard of John Lennon's song: Imagine (there's no heaven... lyrics). On the surface it sounds wonderful: a utopia where everyone is one--no divisions, conflict, struggle or want—here, now. There's just one problem with that: Sin. Read the lyrics again. What do you see missing? Two things: the Redemption of man and most importantly, the Absence of God.

One does not have to look far nor into the too distant past to see evidence of that in its most frightening horrific form. Lennon's own life ended tragically. Sin is inescapable no matter how much we may imagine. Evil exists in the world and lies within the heart of the best of us whether we act on its impulse or not. And what of that I wonder was Lennon's suggestion for us? How do you suppose He proposed to expiate sin and evil from the heart of man, something that can not be seen nor touched by the most learned scientist, skilled surgeon or world philosopher?

Following Mr. Lennon's suggestion of imagining "no heaven, no hell, no religion", let me propose this: Imagine There Is No Christ! Sit for a moment and reflect. Close your eyes and look with the mind's eye. Imagine there is a world without Christ, without His church, His Christians, without God, without the evidences in creation of His nature of order and purpose. In our arrogance and self-nurturing ego many assume, as did Lennon, we possess of our own making all the desirable attributes of righteousness and good intentions toward others, that it has no source outside ourselves, originating out of our own sense of goodness, special being and self-healing. There isn't anything inherently wrong with any of us other than flawed thinking and a lack of acceptance, understanding and imagination. If we would all just come together and agree to see the world and each other in the same single way there would be world harmony. Miraculously, we would all live and sing in tune as "one." The problem with that is obvious on its surface. Who determines the "same single way" all are to agree and live harmoniously? How do so many independent thinkers and individual lives, corrupted by sin and evil, come to that point—generation after generation? And what if, let's say for argument purposes, just one doesn't comply?...

Bible Summaries

Proverbs Chapter Summary

The following is taken from the Book of New Testament Summaries.

Chapter
  1. (A.D.60-63?) God, who once spoke through the prophets, has now spoken through His Son, the first-begotten of Him. Jesus, being made in the image of God, higher than the angels, to be worshipped by them, made and sustains all things. He is everlasting, sending forth His ministering angels to minister to all the heirs of His salvation.
  2. His message, witnessed by man, therefore, is paramount, to be heard and obeyed by all, neglected by none, if we are to escape this world alive. Man, being crowned with glory and honor, was given dominion over all things, having all things placed under his feet (control). But yet he, because of his sin, lost and no longer holds dominion over his own death, it seizing and enslaving him. Christ, then, being made as man, lower than the angels by His choice for a season, and being made perfect through His suffering, became the Captain of our salvation. He defeated Satan who was given the power over man's death by man himself ( Gen.2:17; 3:17-19), returning death back under man's feet. Man is finally able through Christ to be free from the bondage and fear of death. Because of His suffering and temptations while overcoming death for us, He is able to minister to us in our present suffering under death's curse.
  3. Partaking of this Heavenly calling, we now have a High Priest and Apostle who will be faithful to the finish of this calling, with greater glory than Moses who was faithful to Israel. Therefore, let us hold fast this confidence and hope, with a believing and obedient heart, to the end that we may enter into His rest, unlike the unbelieving fathers in the first Earthly Exodus who died out in the wilderness.
  4. Let us put away all unbelief and labor (believe) with faith to enter into the rest that remains for us even to this day. Be cautioned that His Word is able to lay open our hearts, even to the minutest detail of our deepest thoughts and intentions. Because we have so great a High Priest who once experienced all that we ever will, yet without sin, let us approach His throne with bold confidence for grace and mercy in our needs. [See Jn.6. Jesus' teaching on labor (work).]

How The Megachurch
Destroyed Christianity

The consequences of the magnitude of such a broad scale world-wide implementation of a "new church model" cannot be ignored. It must be examined by the serious Bible student and Christian! It must be looked at in light of Bible prophecy. We must heed the warnings of both Jesus' own words when He walked the earth and those inspired by the Holy Spirit written later for our advantage in alertness of end-time events and trends. Not to do so would be perilous. So, I have prayerfully written 5 articles on this demonic phenonemonen with hopes they will help you to understand how serious this modern attack is on the true church of Christ - Articles on the Modern Church.
America in Distress
America in Distress Recently, I read an article asking the question: Is Violent Revolution Inevitable?. The author ponders the conundrum faced by every American in today's state of affairs.

All too often we hear at this stage of corporate-medical tyranny that "now is not the time for violence" although many of us have experienced just that. We can't turn on the news without seeing some anti-American wielding a bat or gun at a patriot who fears to even defend him or herself. Still we are spat on, cursed at, defamed, kicked, censored, silenced and even arrested and imprisoned. Businesses won't let us enter to buy unless we're wearing their cultic mask. There are so few of us who refuse... ...dot Keep reading...
