I have noticed even as we have approached the threshold of this New
Year, how many have expressed their wishes that 2021 will be better than
2020. For those who read beyond the popular headlines and all the
government propaganda, it is writ large that life is not going to return
to the normal as we understood it, prior to March 2020. Little by
little, it is beginning to sink in that there really does exist an
agenda for massive societal change, at home and abroad, and furthermore
that this agenda is already in process. More and more people are waking
up to the aims of The Great Reset. To find out more, simply
Google up 'he Great Reset'. Read and you will learn how the coronavirus
is being hyped up to lever in unconsulted change that will change your
world, forever.
You might ask what the response should be to such misgivings as we move
forward into 2021. There is the story of Jesus who in Roman occupied
Palestine, was asked, 'Should we pay taxes to Caesar?' A dangerous
question, but Jesus said, 'Render to Caesar the things that are
Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.' Each year, we as
dutiful citizens may fill in our tax return forms and also make
arrangements to pay our local council taxes. Thus, we too, figuratively
speaking, do our duty and 'render to Caesar the things that are
Caesar's'. We will note however, that Jesus' words did not prevent his
execution on the cross, because it was not deemed expedient to let him
live.
Perhaps we too are beginning to see that even for us it may not be
enough to 'render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's.' In a
totalitarian state, mind and soul are required for sacrifice too, and so
there exists in China 'thought transformation camps' where faith and
cultural identity must be replaced by 'love for the Chinese Communist
Party.' A BBC documentary recorded a Chinese official denying that these
thought transformation camps were prisons. Where in prison can you
paint? He objected.
Similarly, in recent lockdowns at home, otherwise known as house arrest,
Facebook memes suggested that all that was required of the obedient
citizen was to 'sit at home, watch Netflix and eat Pringles.' Later as
Christmas came upon us, further memes were posted on Facebook comparing
our comfortable loss of liberty with the very real hardships of the
soldiers of the First World War. Notwithstanding the destruction of the
economy and the very fabric of people' lives, such blandishments were
and remain an obfuscation of the loss of our civil liberties and
democratic rights. All of it is as duplicitous as the Chinese Communist
Party' official line that the thought transformation camps are not
prisons.
We are living through times of great change and it is difficult to
understand what is really going on. As I have previously stated, the
information is out there, and one only needs to do a little internet
research to see how far reaching these changes are and are going to be. I
think it is helpful also, to see that from the globalist-capitalist
perspective, the methods of China, a capitalist economy under the
control of the totalitarian one party surveillance state, has become for
the elites, an attractive alternative to Western democracy. The recent
utterances of Professor Neil Ferguson, the Government’s top scientific
advisor, as reported in The Times, clearly shows that same direction of thought and where we are heading:
'I think people's sense of what is possible in terms of control changed
quite dramatically between January and March,’ Professor Ferguson says.
When SAGE observed the 'innovative intervention' out of China, of
locking entire communities down, and not permitting them to leave their
homes, they initially presumed it would not be an available option in a
liberal Western democracy: 'It's a communist
one party state, we said. We couldn't get away with it in Europe, we
thought...and then Italy did it. And we realised we could.'’
In the same interview Ferguson said: ‘If China had not done it, the year would have been very different’
Ferguson is currently advocating the continuation of lockdown until
Easter 2021 and possibly beyond, this from a lockdown that was
originally sold to the British public as a solution designed to last for
only three weeks! This continuing level of totalitarian control has
been deliberately achieved through months of fear inducing propaganda
and government misinformation.
The Guardian recently published the concerns of the country's leading psychiatrist, Dr Adrian Jones with a headline that read: Covid poses greatest threat to mental health since second world war'.
The telling paragraph reveals that up to 10 million people including
1.5 million children, 'are thought to need new or additional mental
health support because of the crisis.' When one considers the fact that
from the inception of this 'pandemic', in England, only 377 healthy
people under the age of 60 have died of covid, then perhaps we may get a
real sense of perspective and an inkling of the power of the
government's fear induced tyranny. I read somewhere that, 'Where the
government fears the people there is freedom, and where the people fear
the government there is tyranny.'
The opposite of love is not hate but fear. God is love and the churches
exist for the worship of God (love). Love casts out fear. The
continuation of the 2020 'annus horribulus' is set to continue. Unless
the churches really do wish to be consigned to oblivion, they need to
take a stand now. The retreat to online worship is no substitute for the
fellowship of public worship. This is not the time to step back but a
time to step forward into 2021, to reject the lies, false promises and
predictions of fallible men and to place our trust in God.
