The Darkness of Evil will show itself in a Marxist Regime

It isn’t as though this type of evil is new in our society since man has an uneasy manner of envy towards what someone else has accumulated. Why, we would like to know, do so many people get jealous over anything that industrious individuals work to make their own lives something to be proud of?

Going into the Old Testament one can see how often one nation cannot bear to allow another to establish their own sovereignty and live in peace, and the one attribute that is enhanced by the jealous nations is what St. Paul spoke about powers and principalities that are beyond the entity of our secular world. (For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirit in the heavens.) (Eph 6: 12).

The Ark of the Covenant contained the Ten Commandments, and the Lord gave exact design principles to Moses on its construction and the protection around it. (Ex 25: 10 - 40; Ex 26 - 28). There was no lack of divine adherence to protect this Ark.

So when the Israelites were defeated and the loss of the Ark was removed there became a battle of spiritual forces encountering this loss. When the ark of the Lord arrived in the camp of the Philistines, all Israel shouted so loudly that the earth resounded. The Philistines, hearing the noise of shouting, asked, “What can this loud shouting in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” On learning that the ark of the Lord had come into the camp, the Philistines were frightened. They said also, “Woe to us! This has never happened before. Woe to us! Who can deliver us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with various plagues and pestilence. Take courage and be manly, Philistines; otherwise you will become slaves to the Hebrews, as they were your slaves. So fight manfully!” (1 Sam 4: 1 - 11).

The point of this seizure led to the Ark being placed next to the idol Dagon. When the people rose early the next morning, Dagon was lying prone on the ground before the Ark of the Lord. So they picked Dagon up and replaced him. But the next morning early, when they arose, Dagon lay prone on the ground before the Ark of the Lord, his head and hands broken off and lying on the threshold, his trunk alone intact. (1 Sam 5: 1 - 5).

God was very astute with his warning with; “I, the Lord, am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the place of slavery. "You shall not have other gods besides me. You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth; you shall not bow down before them or worship them. For I, the Lord, your God, am a jealous God, inflicting punishments fo their fathers’ wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation, but bestowing mercy down the thousandth generation, on the children of those who love me and keep my commandments. (Dt 5: 6 - 10).

Is it any wonder that what occurred centuries ago will in fact show itself in the latest era of idols represented through a philosophy of control that has one purpose in mind; to take over the freedoms of democracy found in the Constitution of the United States and destroy all semblances of worship, including “a government of the people, by the people, and for the people”

The Gettysburg address by Abraham Lincoln.

The segments of a Marxist, Communist, Lenin type of government will fall but not before it has a tremendous falling away of Christianity; just like the events that occurred in Cuba by Fidel Castro who in fact was an advocate to the god Dagon.

I recently wrote that if Zorran Mamdani is elected as mayor of New York City, it will set a precedent across this nation and Communism will in fact take over. Those who support this type of government do not know what they are going to discover.
