Of these, only the ORDINANCES have been set aside by the New Testament.
The rituals and symbols embodied in them were the expression of the
Israelite's belief that his Redeemer would come, in the future; but when Jesus
Christ had come and performed the reality which these rituals symbolized,
their usefulness was ended. The
believer could no longer say that he was waiting for the future coming of his
Redeemer---they must be replaced by new rituals looking back to the fulfilled
Redemption.
But the other Laws of God are still in force: THOU SHALT NOT STEAL and
THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY are as important today as when Moses carried
the stone tablets down Mount Sinai. We do not expect to gain our personal
salvation by keeping the law; and indeed, this was never their true purpose.
But we do expect to gain the peace, prosperity and good order of the community
thereby, just as we have tried to do this by enforcing the laws of our City,
our State, and our Nation.
Let no one be misled Into thinking that God's COMMANDMENTS, JUDGMENTS
and STATUTES have been set aside by the New Testament. These are permanent
laws. In Matthew 5:48, Jesus Christ tells us that God is perfect; naturally,
so are His laws. Psalm 19 tells us: "The Law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul; the STATUTES of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
the COMMANDMENT of the Lord Is pure, enlightening the eyes. * * The JUDGMENTS
of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."
Do you say, "But Christianity is all spiritual, so we have
abolished the law? Not so! In Romans 7:14, Paul tells us that THE LAW IS
SPIRITUAL; and In Romans 3:31, he says: "Do we then make void the Law
through faith? God forbid: yea, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW. Just as our perfect God
exists forever, so do His perfect laws, for Psalm 111:7-8 tells us: "The
work of His hands are verity and JUDGMENT; all His COMMANDMENTS
are sure. THEY STAND FAST FOR EVER AND EVER, and are done in truth and
uprightness." And Jesus Christ, Himself, says, In Matthew 5:18 that not
the tiniest part of the Law will pass away, until heaven and earth pass away
(and this, as we see in Rev. 21, is not until after the Millenium, JESUS
CHRIST'S triumphant 1,000 year reign).
Let us now consider some of these laws, and what they mean to us,
today. Our political parties have sold our God in an evil deal to get the
support of Minority Groups; for the sake of temporary power and graft, they
would destroy all our greatness -forever.
They demand that we admit, indiscriminately, all the world's overflow,
from pagan lands who hate our god, from Asian and African lands whose people
are totally impossible to assimilate, and who must either remain a hostile
enemy bloc within our borders, or else mongrelize and destroy our own race if
we mix with them. But God expressly forbids this. 'While it is recognized that
there will be some aliens here as students, merchants, etc., and these are to
be treated with honesty and justice, the anti-Christians, who hate our God,
are expressly forbidden to be allowed to live here: God says, "They shall
not dwell In thy land, lest they make thee sin against Me." (Exodus
2:33).
No aliens were to be allowed to become numerous, lest they "devour
the land" (Isaiah 1 :7) or "the people's strength" (Hosea 7:9),
and fill themselves with the people's wealth (Proverbs 5:10). Ecclesiastics
11:34 warns us that, if we "Receive a stranger into thy house, he will
disturb thee, and turn thee out of thine own."
Have you ever wondered at the long genealogies of the various people
mentioned in the Bible? There was a good reason for this: their genealogy.
It proved that they were of true Israel blood, and entitled to take part
in Its affairs. Citizenship was not given for two box tops and a dime, to all
who came along. Those who were of related blood lines, but not actually of
Israel, could only be admitted to citizenship In the third generation born in
the land. Today, an immigrant scarcely need be off the boat long enough to get
over his seasickness before he can start the process of becom�ing a citizen.
Par too short a time is required for aliens from some parts of the world to
really learn our way of life: they can, and do, memorize certain things they
must be able to recite on their examination for citizen�ship---but these
things pertain to the mechanics of our government, not the ideals which led
the Pounding Fathers to use those mechanics to make us great. Under God's
laws, those who were not closely related to us in race could not be admitted
to citizenship, ever, not even after ten generations. (Deuteronomy 23).
By violating God's laws, we now have considerable blocs of unassimilable
aliens who have been given the vote. They hate all the ideals of this land to
which they came only to get more money. And now our political parties are
selling out the great American Majority in bidding for the support of the
alien Minority Groups.
Under God's laws, no-one of another race is allowed to hold public
office. Deuteronomy 17:19 says that "Thou mayest not set a stranger over
thee, one which Is not thy brother." The word translated stranger" is
the Hebrew word "NOMRI" which means not just someone you haven't met,
but ONE OF ANOTHER RACE. That persons of other races could reach positions of
pow�er is clearly stated to be only a curse which comes upon us for our viola�tions
of Divine Law; Deuteronomy 28 says: "But it shall come to pass, if thou
wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all His
commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day, THAT ALL THESE
CURSES SHALL COME UPON THEE, AND OVERTAKE THEE: The stranger that is within thee
shall get up above thee very high, and thou shalt come down very low. He shall
lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him; he shall be the head, and thou
shalt be the tail. * * because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord
that God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded
thee.We have been
persistently led away from the Laws of God by certain political groups who don't
even claim to represent the majority of our peo�ple, the White Christian
Americans, but who openly represent only alliances of Minority Groups. These
politicians call themselves "Liberal." This, also, was known to God
thousands of years before it happened; and He also told us their true character.
In the 32nd. chapter of Isaiah, the prophet is telling us of that time yet to
come when the Kingdom of God will be fully established and operating as it
should be; and he tells us that then if The vile person shall no more be called
liberal." God speed the day!
For nearly sixty years, politicians have betrayed us, the great maj�ority,
seeking the support of certain disloyal Minorities. The result has been the
adoption of policies, both at home and abroad, which have brought Us to our
present position, facing a war in which we must fight for our very existence. If
we had obeyed God in the making of our laws and our national policies, these
evils would not have come upon us. Isaiah 48 tells us:
Thus saith the Lord, thy
Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord thy God, which teacheth thee to
profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go, 0 that thou hadst
hearkened to My commandments! Then-had thy peace been as a river, and thy
righteousness as the waves of the sea," (But) "There is no peace,
saith the Lord, unto the wicked,"
When will we learn that only by following the righteous Laws
of God can gain the peace and prosperity of God's People.
