DESTROYING MANY BY PEACE
By
Bertrand L. Comparet
We Americans are a peace loving people; we don't envy our
neighbors their land or their wealth. We make no wars of conquest, so we find it
hard to believe that others would attack us. We become involved in defensive
wars because we suffer so much wrong without resistance that our long patience
is mistaken for cowardice. Our enemies, both in other lands and within our own
nation, take advantage of this. They know they can always lead us into traps by
pretending they want peace. Russia is hard at this old trick right now, in the
United Nations, vigorously helped by the so-called neutral nations. How can
there be any neutrality between good and evil? Yahshua said he who is not for Me
is against Me.
Most of our churches are to blame for our failure to
recognize this devil's trap for what it is, for it is clearly stated in the
Bible, that book they so seldom read to you in church. As for the United
Nations, that palace of strangers cursed by Yahweh, the prophets exposed their
talk of peace 2,500 years ago. Psalm
28:3 calls them, "The workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their
neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts". Jeremiah 9:8 says,
"Their tongue is an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh
peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lyeth in
ambush".
We see this at every session, Cuba and Venezuela talking
loudly of peace, while they plot an invasion of Nicaragua. Nassar's Egypt
plotting the murder of the kings of Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Panama organizing
the theft of the Panama Canal from us because we connived with Egypt for the
similar theft of the Suez Canal. All over Africa, the Negroes are planning
wholesale murder of all the whites who brought them the only civilization they
ever knew.
Isaiah 57:20-21 saw this restless evil, "The
wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire
and dirt. There is no peace, saith Yahweh, to the wicked". In that
parliament of evil, who exposes these plots, who demand the liberation of
Eastern Europe, who frankly calls a spade a spade? No one! Isaiah
59:4,8 tells about it, "None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for
truth: they trust in vanity and speak lies. * * The way of peace they knoweth
not: and there is no judgment in their goings they have made them crooked paths:
whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace".
Why haven't the preachers of our churches taught us peace
only comes from Yahweh, not from Russia?
The
Bible has told about it from the beginning. In Leviticus 26:3,6 Yahweh
promises us, "If ye walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do
them: * * I will give peace in the land and ye shall lie down and none shall
make you afraid". Psalm 119:165 says, "Great peace have they
which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them". Isaiah 48:18
states, "O that thou hadst hearkened to My commandments! Then had thy peace
been as a river and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea". Instead of
Yahweh, our people worship F.D. Roosevelt, Kennedy, Stevenson and Bridges, who
tell us that the only way to peace is by surrender to Kruschev's demands. The
devil's peace on the devil's terms. Hungary and Tibet know what kind of peace it
is; yet many red clergymen and corrupted churches support this!
This also is in the Bible. Jeremiah 8:10-12,15
records, "For every one, from the least even unto the greatest, is given to
covetousness; from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people but slightly, saying,
Peace, peace, when there is no peace. Were they ashamed when they had committed
abomination? Nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. * * We
looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health and behold
trouble". Ezekiel 13:8-10 says to these ministers, "Because ye
have spoken vanity and seen lies, therefore behold I am against you saith
Yahweh. And Mine hand shall be upon the prophets that they see vanity and that
divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of My people, neither shall they
be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into
the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am Yahweh. Because, even because
they have seduced My people, saying peace; and there was no peace". There
cannot be peace with evil. Yahshua warned us always to oppose and fight
evil. In Matthew 10:34 He said, "Think not that I am come to send
peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword."
We turn our backs on Yahweh and walk blindly into the
trap every time some obvious villain says peace. Daniel 8:23-25 tells us,
"And in the latter time of their kingdom, when transgressors are come to
the full, a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark sentences shall
stand up". Never before have transgressors so come to the full. Kruschev's
scowling face and communist double talk fulfill this to the letter.
Daniel continues, "And his power shall be mighty and he shall
destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper". Never in all history has a nation
risen to such power and destroyed so many nations by infiltration, corruption
and treason, always delicately called liberalism.
Remember Kruschev, drunk with power, strutting boastfully
in the United Nations, and in the same breath talking peace and threatening
destruction! Daniel says, "He shall magnify himself in his heart, and by
peace destroy many". Weigh those words carefully, "Peace shall
destroy many". By the infamous peace of Potsdam, Russia was allowed to
swallow all Eastern Europe and North Korea.
Because we preferred Satan's peace to that of Yahweh,
Russia was given China, Afghanistan, Tibet, Iraq and now Cuba. Now our
politicians want to talk disarmament with Kruschev, knowing that he has never
kept his word on anything! About the time Franklin Roosevelt came to power here,
Dmitri Manuilsky said in Moscow, "War to the hilt between communism and
capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course, we are not strong enough to attack.
Our time will come in 20 to 30 years. To win, we shall need the element of
surprise. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on
record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard of concessions. The
capitalistic countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their
own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as
their guard is down, we will smash them with our clenched fist."
Today this time has come. Everyone knows communists never
keep their word in anything. They want us to disarm while they keep their secret
stores of weapons, rockets and nuclear bombs to attack us with. Yet, our
political leaders still propose to go through with this treachery. What is our
reward for this folly? Isaiah 33:7 tells us, "Behold their valiant
ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. The highways lie
waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth; he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised
the cities, he regardeth no man".
Devastation will come upon us from Russia's treacherous
nuclear bomb attack, which she will not fear to make after we have largely
disarmed. Our military men are aghast at the treason and its consequences. Our
diplomats wring their hands in hypocritical horror at the inevitable fruit of
their connivance with evil. They appear shocked that the obvious result of their
folly has come upon us, what reason is there for surprise? Our attempt to make
the devil's peace could not possibly have any other result.
We read in the newspapers and we hear people say, we must
keep on negotiating with Russia. As long as they are talking, they aren't
fighting. People also say, let's make an agreement with Russia so we won't have
war. Making an agreement with Russia is exactly what will bring on war, Yahweh
warns us of that. When we make a treaty with Russia for disarmament, millions of
thoughtless fools will say, now we are safe, there won't be war. But war will
swiftly follow after that. The apostle Paul tells us in Thessalonians 5:3,
"For when they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction
cometh upon them as travail upon a woman with child: and they
shall not escape".
Evil cannot be presented first in all its naked ugliness,
but must first be disguised as good. Even then, those who read Yahweh's warnings
are not deceived. The fools who put expediency above right, who will abandon
principle to get the support of minority groups, who put a political party above
Yahweh, will this time pay the penalty of death. "By peace he shall
destroy many."
