We
are now being told to rejoice and expect good things. This is
because President Johnson has held a summit conference with Kosygin
to negotiate for the accomplishment of evil. I say negotiate for the
accomplishment of evil, because nothing else can be negotiated with
Kosygin, he will not agree to anything else. So far our leaders
have always made it their most sacred principle to make some kind of
agreement, if it were possible, at any sacrifice of honor and
justice
Do
you wonder that the results of these conferences, over the last
decades, have been uniformly bad? It doesn't take a prophet to
see the only possible result of such agreements, it is obvious to
even the dullest minds. We can never take a firm stand for the right
and tell Russia she'd better retreat, or else! No, we always back
down and compromise with Russia for about half of what she demands.
We always give her the victory without Russia having to fire a shot
or take any risks. This is how communism has spread over half of the
world in the last few decades.
The
Bible records the first summit conference, the one held by Satan
with Adam and Eve. Originally Satan held a position, which might
be described as governor of this planet. He was a very important
angel, given great power. However, this power must be exercised only
in obedience to Yahweh. Then Satan rebelled against Yahweh, and
thereby forfeited all rights to this power, and Adam was sent to
take his place. At this time Adam was immortal, otherwise the
warning that death was the penalty of disobedience would mean
nothing, if he were going to die anyway.
The
garden of Yahweh in Eden was not a plantation of ordinary trees and
shrubs. The trees in it were the family trees of races and
nations. In Ezekiel 31:3,5,8 & 9 Yahweh describes the
garden and who was in it. "The Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon.
His height was exalted above all the trees of the field. The cedars
in the garden of Yahweh could not hide him: the fir trees were not
like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches;
nor any tree in the garden of Yahweh was like him in his beauty. All
the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of Yahweh, envied
him."
You
can't find any tree in a park or forest that envies anybody; it just
isn't that kind of tree. Adam was warned not to eat the fruit of the
tree of knowledge of good and evil. No tree has knowledge or
experience of good and evil, except a family tree of people. Yahweh
didn't create a special new being Adam, just to spade up the ground,
Yahweh already had millions of pre Adamic people for that purpose.
Adam was put here to take the place of Satan and to govern the
racial family trees of the world, and to rule them with Yahweh's
laws.
Adam like ourselves shrank from the unpleasant duty of throwing
out wrongdoers by force. Before he got around to it, Satan had
held a summit conference with Eve. Eve seems to have acted as Adam's
state department. Satan suggested that Eve give his plan a fair
trial, to see if it wasn't as good as he said, this seemed
reasonable to Eve. Adam decided that after all, as long as they were
talking, they weren't fighting. Therefore an agreement for peaceful
coexistence, arrived at by negotiation, was better than
war.
Adam went along with the plan, overlooking the obvious facts that
no proposal from an evil source will ever be other than evil.
The wicked always negotiate for their own advantage and our
disadvantage. Compromise with evil has never produced anything but
more evil. Adam and Eve learned the hard way, unfortunately we never
learn at all.
Matthew chapter 4 and Luke chapter 4 record the next summit
conference. This summit conference was between Satan and Yahshua, it
records, "The devil, taking Him up into an high mountain, showed
unto Him all the kingdoms of the world, in a moment of time. And the
devil said unto Him, All this power will I give Thee, and the glory
of them: for that is delivered unto me; and whomsoever I will give
it. If Thou therefore will worship me, all shall be
Thine."
What
the devil was really saying was if Yahshua would recognize his power
and authority, he would recognize His, and then we will peacefully
coexist. This is exactly what Kosygin has already proposed, and
probably repeated to President Johnson. "You recognize my rightful
authority over all the enslaved nations and I will recognize you and
NATO as rulers of the free world."
Take
careful note of this, Yahshua did not fall for it. He knew
that the powers of evil are never sincere and will never keep their
word. Even more important, He knew that good couldn't derive its
authority from evil. Whenever you concede the power of evil
as being of lawful right, you concede all the victory. Yahshua
was offered other opportunities to compromise with evil. The
compromise would be to tone down His own preaching into something
which would not offend the ruling powers, thus to avoid war with
them.
Not
once did Yahshua ever yield to this temptation. He knew that
His firm insistence upon truth and right was forcing the issue to a
point that must lead them to murder Him. He also knew that
abandoning the right and yielding a shameful victory to the powers
of evil, also led to death. It would be a death from which there
would not be a resurrection to glory.
What
can we expect to negotiate at any summit conference? Will it be the
release of the enslaved nations of Europe, from the communist yoke?
No, for the Reds have never been willing to negotiate for this, and
to our eternal shame, we have never even asked for it! Having
betrayed all Eastern Europe to the Reds, in a political deal for the
liberal vote here at home, we have ever since been content to keep
this evil bargain. We have never insisted upon even talking about
freedom for our brothers, much less doing anything about
it.
Are
you surprised that the giant Skoda arms factories in Czechoslovakia,
which we delivered intact to Russia, have ever since been working 24
hours a day making arms to be used against us? How can you escape
the consequences of evil without undoing the wrong, which you have
done? It is not only that we have done wrongful acts in the
past. Such wrongful acts create wrongful conditions, which remain to
plague us until we set them right. Like all burdensome debts, this
one draws a heavy rate of interest, and becomes harder and harder to
pay as time goes on.
The
only thing we can negotiate with Russia is some further triumph for
Russia, something that increases their strength and weakens us. The
communist beachhead in Cuba, which our own State Department helped
to create, now threatens our Atlantic coast cities with atomic
rockets. We lack the integrity and the courage to do anything
about it. In order to appease the Reds in Cuba, which of our
allies are we about to betray in our negotiations, or will it be
an agreement for general disarmament? That will be uttersuicide
for the entire free world
Conferences with evil are never at the summit; they are always in
the pit of hell. What does it matter if we send the president or
one of his underlings, if we are only going to negotiate the step by
step surrender to evil? We cringe before Castro, while he builds
bomber bases 90 miles off our eastern coast. What respect can we
command from Russia?
Until we have recovered our lost courage and our lost honor,
there should be no summit conferences whatsoever. When we are
once again ready to speak with the authoritative voice of courage
and power, to redeem our own hemisphere from the first beachhead of
communism without first whimpering for somebody's permission to do
so, then again I say no conferences
We
should take a firm stand for truth, right and honor. We
should say, these are our terms; there is nothing to negotiate, for
we will not take anything less. This does not risk war; it is the
only way to possibly avoid it. Our current pose of weakness in
retreat, invites attack. If we take a firm stand and meant it,
Russia would yield. Russia knows we have the power to so destroy her
so she could never recover.
The
only summit is with Yahshua and His righteousness, not with
Kosygin and his malice, cruelty and treachery. LET'S GET OUT OF
THE PIT!
