THE DESTINY OF OUR RACE
By
Bertrand L. Comparet
Any worthwhile accomplishment requires both a purpose to
be accomplished and a plan for the methods to be used. For the affairs that rule
the world, Yahweh determines both the purpose and the plan. What is the purpose
and destiny of our race? What is Yahweh's plan for accomplishing this purpose?
We must find this in the Bible.
Our
purpose, our destiny, is to rule the world according to
Yahweh's laws. It is morally wrong to try to evade this responsibility, by
offering it to others to do in our place. Yahweh especially selected us for this
purpose. In Deuteronomy 7:6, & 14:2 Yahweh tells us, "For thou
art an holy people unto Yahweh thy God: Yahweh thy God hath chosen thee to be a
special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the
earth".
Psalm 33:12 states, "Blessed is the nation
whose God is Yahweh; and the people whom He hath chosen for His own
inheritance". In Genesis 17:7 Yahweh said, "I will establish My
covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for
an everlasting covenant". Deuteronomy 10:15 continues, "Yahweh
had a delight in thy fathers, to love them, and he chose their seed after them,
even you above all people, as it is this day."
For His purposes, Yahweh separated us from all other
people. In Leviticus 20:24,26 Yahweh says, "I am Yahweh your God,
which has separated you from other people And ye shall be holy unto Me; for I
Yahweh am holy, and have severed you from other people that ye should be
Mine."
In Amos 3:2 Yahweh says to us, "You only
have I known, of all the families of the earth". II
Corinthians 6:14-18 tells us, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And
what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with
Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? Wherefore, come out
from among them and be ye separate, saith Yahweh, and touch not the unclean
thing; and I will receive you, and will be a father to you, and ye shall be My
sons and daughters, saith Yahweh the Almighty." Since we are a people
chosen and separated by Yahweh to serve Him, what are the purposes we must
serve?
Of primary importance is to rule the earth in His name.
As Yahshua said in Luke 19:13, "Occupy until I come". For this,
we must first break all opposition. In Jeremiah 51:20-23 Yahweh told us,
"Thou art My battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in
pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; and with thee will I
break in pieces captains and rulers". Daniel 2:44 confirms this.
"And in the day of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom
which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other
people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it
shall stand forever."
This is still our duty, to bring peace the only way we
can or should, by breaking the power of the evil nations. The New
Testament didn't change this. In Matthew 10:34 Yahshua said, "Think
not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a
sword." Yahshua also told His disciples in Luke 22:36, "He that
hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one."
Yahweh's purposes cannot be left to the mercy of people
like Brezhnev, Mao Tse Tung and Castro. There must be conflict between good and
evil until good conquers.
Then what are we to use this power for? To colonize.
In Isaiah 54:2-3 Yahweh told us, "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and
let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations; spare not, lengthen
thy cords and strengthen thy stakes; for thou shalt break forth on the right
hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the nations". Genesis
28:14 states, "And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou
shalt spread abroad to the west and to the east, and to the north and to the
south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be
blessed."
Never be ashamed of colonialism. It brought the backward
nations the only civilization they ever had, the greatest freedom also. When we
abandon the Congolese to savage anarchy that is not setting them free. Cuba had
more freedom during our brief rule than they have now under Fidel Castro.
Having broken all the opposition and colonized, what
should we do then? Rule the earth, under Yahweh's laws. Yahweh's purpose
is proclaimed equally in the first book of the Bible, and in the last. Genesis
27:28-29 tells us, "Let people serve thee and nations bow down to thee:
be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be
everyone that curseth thee and blessed be he that blesseth thee."
Revelation 1:4-6 states, "Grace be unto you,
and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the
seven spirits which are before His throne; And from Yahshua the Christ, who is
the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the
kings of the earth. And hath made us kings and priests unto Yahshua and
His Father."
When we have taken possession of the world, for what
purposes shall we rule it? To civilize the backward races and educate them, to
teach them of Yahweh and His laws. Isaiah 43:10-12 tells us, "Ye are
My witnesses, saith Yahweh, and My servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know
and believe Me. I, even I, am Yahweh; and beside Me there is no savior. I have
declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among
you: Therefore, ye are My witnesses, saith Yahweh, that I am God."
Deuteronomy 4:7-8 goes on to say, "For what
nation is there so great, who hath Yahweh so nigh unto them as Yahweh our God is
in all things that we call upon Him for? And what nation is there so great, that
hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law which I set before you
this day?"
When we do this, we shall not only be kings, but also
priests before Yahweh. Isaiah 61:6 tells us, "But ye shall be named
the priests of Yahweh: men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat
the riches of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves."
What greater reward could we have than to function as
Yahweh's witnesses, that He alone is God, and all pagan religions are false. We
will be serving before Him as kings and priests over the whole earth. Yet we
have been despising all this, casting it away. We have been offering this prize
to those very nations whom Yahweh has rejected, telling them to do this job
instead of ourselves.
Before Yahweh punishes us for our disobedience, let's get
back on the job. Let's fulfill the destiny marked out for our race and our
nation by Yahweh. We must do this work either as slaves under the lash, or as
willing partners with Yahweh in establishing His rule over the earth. |
