The Great Masquerade

�� The Great Masquerade

�� by Dr. Bertrand Comparet

��

�� The whole Bible is the history of the conflict between

our God and the rebel,

�� Satan‑‑carried on between their children, also. Didn't

you know that they both had

�� children? (Yes, I do mean CHILDREN, not merely

followers.) If you don't know this,

�� you should read your Bible more carefully.

�� Luke 3: 38 tells us that Adam was the‑son of God: and

surely you know that Adam

�� had children and descendants down through our own

generation. In many other

�� places, God refers to His children: for just a few of

these, consider Deuteronomy

�� 32: 19, "And when the Lord saw it, He abhorred them,

because of the provoking of

�� HIS SONS AND OF HIS DAUGHTERS." Again, Isaiah 43:

6, "1 will say to the north, Give

�� up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring MY SONS

from afar, and MY DAUGHTERS

�� from the ends of the earth." Isaiah 45: 11: "Thus saith

the Lord, the Holy One of

�� Israel, and his Maker: Ask Me of things to come

concerning MY SONS, and concerning

�� the work of My hands command ye Me." In Psalm 82: 6:

"1 have said, Ye are gods;

�� and all of you are CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH." In

the New Testament, we read in

�� John 11: 51‑52 . he prophesied that Jesus should die for

that nation; and not for

�� that nation only, but also that He should gather together

THE CHILDREN OF GOD

�� that were scattered abroad." And Paul, in Romans 8: 14,

16 says, "For as many as are

�� led by the Spirit of God, THEY ARE THE SONS of GOD ...

The Spirit itself beareth

�� witness with our spirit, that WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF

GOD."

�� As to the children of Satan, this also is affirmed in the

Bible from beginning to end.

�� First in Genesis 3: 15, where God tells Satan, "I will put

enmity between thee and

�� the woman, and between THY SEED and HER SEED."

The same Hebrew word for

�� "Seed," or descendants, is used in both instances, so

Satan is to have just as literal

�� seed, or children, as the woman, Eve. ‑‑ Jesus Christ,

Himself, affirmed this,

�� several times. For example, in Matthew 13: 38‑39,

where He said, "The field is the

�� world; the good seed are the Children of the Kingdom:

but the tares are the

�� children of the wicked one; the enemy that sowed them

is the devil." In John 6:

�� 70‑71, Jesus said to His 12 disciples, "Have not I chosen

you 12, and one of you is a

�� devil?" Again, very carefully read John 8: 31‑55, where

Jesus said to these people,

�� "I speak that which I have seen with MY Father: and ye

do that which ye have

�� seen with YOUR father. They answered and said unto

Him, Abraham is our

�� father. Jesus saith unto them, IF ye were Abraham's

children, ye would do the

�� works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill Me, a man

that hath told you the

�� truth, which I have heard of God...Ye do the deeds of

YOUR father. " They tried

�� to masquerade as God's children, but they couldn't

deceive Him: they said, "We

�� have one father, even God. Jesus said unto them, IF

God were your Father, ye

�� would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from

God ... Ye are of YOUR

�� FATHER THE DEVIL, and the lusts of your father ye will

do. He was a murderer

�� from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because

there is no truth in him

�� ... It is My Father that honoureth Me: of whom ye SAY

that He is your God: yet ye

�� have not known Him." Jesus was not using vulgarly

abusive language to them: He

�� was stating a biological fact, with scientific accuracy.

�� Paul, also, does not hesitate to identify certain people

as the children of the devil.

�� Meeting one, in Acts 13: 6‑10, Paul plainly called him

"thou child of the devil. "

�� In the thousands of years of this conflict, whenever we

have remembered that

�� we are the children of God, remained loyal to Him, and

remembered that God

�� Himself put enmity between HIS children and SATAN'S

CHILDREN, we have had

�� prosperity and high civilization, with very little crime;

and the wars which the

�� wicked started against us ended quickly with

tremendous victories in our favor.

�� Satan's tactics have always been the same, down

through the ages: first he tries

�� to crush us by force, as the Bible records many times,

and as we saw a few years

�� ago in Japan's treacherous attack upon us. But these

attacks always fail, when we

�� remember who WE are and who THEY are, and act

accordingly. Then Satan tries

�� another method: Since God has given us the victory

whenever we remember that

�� we are HIS CHILDREN and have nothing to do with the

children and the ways of

�� Satan, the only way to conquer and enslave or destroy

us is to make us forget this

�� division between the CHILDREN OF GOD and the

CHILDREN OF SATAN, get us all

�� mixed together so our ways will be corrupted with

theirs, our children will learn

�� their evil, our government will be controlled by their

power, and they will make us

�� enemies of God like themselves. Only when we are in

rebellion against God, and

�� therefore do not receive His help, can Satan and his

children hope to destroy us.

�� We were warned of this, as of all other dangers. In

Deuteronomy 7. 2‑4 we got the

�� first warning: "Thou shalt smite them, and utterly

destroy them; thou shalt make no

�� covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them:

neither shalt thou make marriages

�� with them: thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his

son, nor his daughter shalt

�� thou take unto thy son.

�� For they will turn away thy son from following Me, that

they may serve other gods:

�� so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and

destroy thee suddenly."

�� But we have allowed them to enter our land in great

numbers‑multitudes of them

�� were admitted illegally, under the Roosevelt

administration‑‑and to take over

�� control of our commerce, our government, our schools,

and now they who hate our

�� God are even laying hands on our churches. God

warned us not to allow them in the

�� land, "For they will turn away thy son from following

Me." They have done this:

�� Their organizations have made such a bitter fight

against any mention of the name

�� of Jesus Christ in our schools that many school boards

have yielded to their

�� pressure; they have sometimes been able to put some

of their own people into

�� public office, where they have ruled officially that we

cannot even read one verse

�� from the Bible in our schools, because it offends them.

Our children are not

�� allowed to hear the name of God in our schools; and

now even our churches are

�� being infiltrated and corrupted in the same way. Under

the guise of "interfaith"

�� movements, supposedly Christian ministers have been

induced to bring into their

�� pulpits those whose official doctrine calls our Savior,

Jesus Christ, a liar and a

�� fraud; to avoid offending these people, supposedly

Christian ministers carefully

�� avoid preaching anything from the Gospel of John; they

practically deny. their

�� Savior to please His enemies; so our children, who

cannot hear the name of our

�� God in school, often cannot hear it in their churches

either. The evil of which God

�� warned us has come upon us.

�� How are Satan's children able to do this? By a great

masquerade, in which they

�� pretend to be God's children, and have corrupted most

of our clergymen until these

�� no longer tell us who we are. We received warning of

this also, if we would only

�� heed it: In 2 Corinthians 11: 13‑15, where it says, "Such

men are sham apostles,

�� dishonest workmen, masquerading as apostles of

Christ. And no wonder, as even

�� Satan himself masquerades as a shining angel. So it is

nothing strange if his servants

�� also masquerade as servants of uprightness. But their

doom will fit their actions." So

�� we are told by them that these people are God's

chosen, that they must be helped

�� to invade and steal other people's land, that our own

institutions must be changed

�� so as not to offend them and that our churches must

abandon Jesus Christ because

�� these people hate His name and we must abandon Him

in order to have fellowship

�� with them. But God warned us NOT to have fellowship

with devils.

�� All masquerades must reach an end; and this one is

almost finished. It has nearly

�� succeeded in bringing us to destruction. But God will

save us, because we are HIS

�� CHILDREN. Though most of us have forgotten our

identity, He has not forgotten.

�� Masks will be removed and our true identity revealed. In

Isaiah 51: 1‑2, God has

�� told us, " Harken to Me, ye that follow after

righteousness, ye that seek the Lord:

�� look unto the rock from whence ye are hewn, and to the

hole of the pit from

�� whence ye are digged. LOOK UNTO ABRAHAM YOUR

FATHER, AND UNTO SARAH THAT

�� BORE YOU." That is, look to your ancestry, recognize

that you are Israel, God's

�� children; stop masquerading as gentiles; and tear the

mask off Satan's children who

�� masquerade as you.
