(A follow up to a previous article on Holiness)

A format of the parade of Old Testament prophets that God sent for centuries preaching warnings because of the greatest evil that still is ours today:  Idolatry!  It encompasses the Commandments found in Deuteronomy:  “I the Lord, am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that 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 for their fathers’ wickedness on the children of those who hate me, down to the third and fourth generation, but bestowing mercy, down to the thousandth generation, on the children of those who love me and keep my commandments.”  (Dt 5: 6 - 10).

The Trojan Horse is a legendary ruse from Greek mythology which describes a seemingly harmless, appealing gift, person, or proposal that secretly conceals a hidden danger or malicious intent.  (taken from the internet).  Is it possible that this scenario could occur again?  

Absolutely!  In fact it already is occurring before our eyes.  The horse is Socialism and the city is America.  Hitler once said and repeated this opinion more than once; “Tell the people something long enough and they will believe it.”  Carl Marx told the people about Judaism and he was the son of Jewish parents.  His Jewish ancestry influenced his thinking .  His theory is a socioeconomic framework that critiques capitalism and predicts its eventual replacement by a classless, communist society.   He was bent on destroying what we have in this country and is now the Trojan Horse that is moving throughout our nation (the city, America, is to be taken over) at a rapid rate.   Mamdani, Mayor of NYC is a direct result of Marx’s philosophy, and his belief as a socialist (Communist) has supplanted the very idea of Marx into more than 40% of our citizens across this nation.   

The prophets God sent into the world as a warning to many eons were to alert the many evils that would take his commandments and turn them into just words without any substance.  Some of these prophets were;  Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Micha, and Isaiah.  In the lives of each there were specific needs and violations from the citizens that needed to be addressed.  Are there any prophets preaching God’s Word reaching the people in the pews?  Prophets are sent to announce God’s intentions and his manner of guiding the people in our Church and reading the prophecies online.  Clergy in the Mass have the ideal block to preach from and warn the multitude of people who are at a loss to understand what is happening with socialism (Communism). We who write are also prophets since God uses us to do the same.  The difference between us is our words are kept close by to read them more than once.  Let’s never forget to not forget.  Doom can be a tireless entity that might destroy our ability to ascertain the truth regarding this Idolatry that is surely a powerful inclusion into Christian and Jewish lives.
