Psychopathology at its Ultimate

Why Civilizations Decay

psychopathology: a pathological deviation from normal behavior, psychosis; the study of psychological and behavioral dysfunction occurring in mental disorder or in social disorganization.

Nothing speaks so clearly to the fact that God alone is the Creator of all than to see what happens to man when he turns away from God.

If there is no God, then man in his most vile state should still be able to flourish from a societal perspective...but this has never happened.  It is historical fact that every culture which turns from God's ways begins a slope of moral decay which precedes its own impending death.  What is the leading predictor of this decline?  A society's views on sex.

The Bible describes fornication and homosexuality as abhorrent, abnormal, and an abomination.  Yet society says these things are normal.  Who are we to believe and how do we know that which is true?

Even if one does not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the truth is evident through the lens of history.  Every time society begins to accept & promote sexual deviancy, that society begins a spiraling march towards its own death; this alone shows that such behaviors are not "normal".  

As Scripture echoes, the truths of God are blatantly evident in the world around us.  The condition of life itself attests to the fact that God's word is sure.  The fact that societies cannot progress when disregarding His statutes is the evidence that His words are true while at the same time bearing witness to His very judgments against such.

Romans Chapter 1 outlines man's steps into reprobation and - as attested via history - it identifies sexual sin as foremost in this decline.  In the video below is a portion of the documentary "Divorcing God",  which discusses this decline as a historical reality for past civilizations and a present reality for America today.  As stated in the video by Dr. Judith Reisman, when a society reaches a point where they can sing, clap, and dance about sadomasochism (2011 Billboard Music Awards), we have reached psychopathology at its ultimate!

Further evidence of the psychopathology of American culture is the advances of homosexuality.  Although it was originally created almost 20 years ago, the documentary entitled "The Report: Homosexuality in America" is horrifyingly accurate in its depiction of gay life and the overall gay agenda (which is coming to fruition even as we speak).

While an excerpt of the documentary on homosexuality can be seen here, I must warn that some of the content is disturbing.  The mainstream media never portrays the real face of homosexuality, choosing to spin it as a civil rights issues.  However, prominent in the celebration of this 'lifestyle' is a constant theme of debauchery, rebellion, and perversion.  Public nudity and public acts of indecency are standard at "Gay Pride" gatherings, but never reported on the nightly news. Instead, the public is given a sanitized perspective which by no means comes close to reality.

In the same way as the media turns a blind eye, so do many individuals as they adopt attitudes like, "Well, as long as it doesn't bother me.  What people do in the privacy of their own homes is their business..."  But what if it isn't in the privacy of the homes, but out in the streets?  Will it 'bother you' if your children are indoctrinated into thinking such is normal and enticed to join in the deviant behavior?  Would you get off of the fence if you actually had the love of God in your hearts to care more about the souls of these individuals than your own comfort?  The issue is that most don't want to see because their minds are already infected with the same psychopathology; they have accepted as "normal" that which history and the word of God itself confirms is not. 

We are given the prototype of such a decayed society in God's dealings with Sodom & Gomorrah (Genesis 19:1-11).  Left to its own devices, a spirit of sodomy will so degrade the mind of man that he is turned into an animal.  As seen in the interaction with the angels who came to warn Lot, it is violent, without restraint, and driven to ensure that all are defiled by it.  Unrestrained sexual sin so sinks the mind of man into reprobation that God must come against it in judgment unless all mankind would be lost (Genesis 18:16-33).  This is in fact the condition that the world will be in when Jesus returns in judgment (Luke 17:28-30).

The point I am making is that both the historical and Biblical record show plainly that the rise of sexual deviancy brings about the destruction of man.

So then, what is the solution?

"Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up." Jeremiah 18:15

According to the video below, the answer is that Americans must take a more active stance in public policy.  We must fight for our Constitutional liberties and not let our religious freedoms be taken away.  In this, I couldn't disagree more.  

The answer my friends is Jesus.  If it is God who gives life, then only He can preserve it; and to do so He has given the world salt.  The church is what is needed; not a harlot, but a Bride, sharing the nature, life, and power of the Bridegroom.  We need a church who is a reflection of Jesus Christ and thereby a partaker of the divine nature.  We don't need to turn to political activism because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.  We must turn back to the ancient pathways.

"Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?  Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over? Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away." Isaiah 51:9-11

Our salvation is not in trying to redeem the world, but in being molded into the character and nature of our Redeemer so that others who are lost might also be saved.  As we do this - as each individual makes it a personal charge to lay down his/her life for Jesus - the glory of the Lord will be a great shining light in this land and throughout the world (Isaiah 9:2; Matthew 4:16).  All God is waiting for is a Body.  The question is will we be part of it?

We Are Legion

Unifying the World

"For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many." Mark 5:8-9

Since I last wrote about "Occupy", it has become a global phenomenon.  Increasingly, there has been news of violent and perverse activities being associated with this movement.  There are reports of everything from molestation, public acts of indecency, assault, and destruction of property.

Those who reject Christ do not believe that He is soon
returning to judge the world, but that this time
represents a "new beginning" without consideration
of a Sovereign, Omnipotent God (Psalms 2:1-3).

In the past week, "Occupy D.C." is accused of knocking down an elderly man and pushing an elderly woman down a flight of stairs. "Occupy San Diego" defaced food carts - one splattered with blood & urine - when the vendors stopped handing out free food to the protestors.  Such acts of self-centered entitlement with a complete disregard for the well-being of others illustrates the mindset of anarchists.

anarchist: a person who advocates the abolition of government and a social system based on voluntary cooperation.

The anarchist doesn't want anyone telling him what to do.  He only desires to do what he "wants to" or "feels like" doing.  He therefore rejects any authority outside of his own will.  It matters not what type of authority or government it is; he despises anything that puts restraint on the old, carnal nature.

"The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities."  II Peter 2:9-10

The backbone of this movement is what persons such as Aleistar Crowley have advocated: a society where everyone will "Do What Thou Wilt".  It is the perverse philosophy being promoted by the world's entertainment which glorifies rebellion and a rejection of any type of authority (like Jay-Z in his "Run This Town").  It is the corrupt indoctrination often passed off as 'education' where students are taught to set aside traditional beliefs in favor tolerance & diversity for the "collective good".

We are seeing the manifestation of fallen man at his best: full of self-love, without self-control, and motivated by self-interest.

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." II Timothy 3:1-5

While the Occupy movement will claim that there is no real organization or authority behind these groups, there is certainly a hidden hand guiding these protests.  One evidence of this is something I have been noticing for weeks: the protestors' consistent use of the mask from the movie "V for Vendetta".

According to an article by CBS News, this mask is "...a stylized version of Guy Fawkes, an Englishman who tried to bomb the British Parliament on Nov. 5, 1605." 

Guy Fawkes was an English Catholic who tried to assassinate King James I and have him replaced with a Catholic monarch.  He and his co-conspirators made an oath to pull off what is called the "Gunpowder Plot" and this oath was sealed with a Catholic mass performed by a Jesuit priest.  For those who do not understand the spiritual significance of this act, please read about the history of government subversion by the Jesuits in "The Occult & Secret Societies".

In the CBS news article, one Occupy protestor states that this mask is "...unifying the world under one symbol."  It sure seems to be, but what does the mask symbolize?

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Psalm 14:1

At its heart, this mask symbolizes that which is anti-God, more specifically anti-Christ.  Nothing makes this more apparent than the movie and the book upon which it is based.

"V for Vendetta" is a vile film which takes every opportunity to degrade Christianity and mock God.  The hero is a masked man named "V" who is attempting to incite an overthrow of a government described as "religious and conservative".  This authoritative and oppressive government - symbolized by an archiepiscopal cross - is shown to be the real extremists while contrasted against religions of peace such as Islam.  Perhaps the most horrid act of this government was its criminalization of homosexuality, which was one of the inspirations behind "V's" deciding to incite rebellion.

Know that there is no room for varying perspectives in "V's" view of society.  Although purporting to stand against tyranny, there is no mercy for those who do not agree with him.  If you are not on board with his ideology, then you are disposable and may very well be put to death.  How does "V" accomplish his goals?  Murder, torture, terrorism, group psychosis...and he convinces most of the working class to join him in the name of freedom (as they all don the same mask in their show of support).

Ultimately unable to complete his plan, "V" hands over his regime to a prostitute named "Evey" (i.e. Eve) who becomes the "savior" of the working class people after she is mentally "set free" by reading the journals of an arrested lesbian.  Her identification with the lesbian allows her to renew her commitment to "V's" cause for freedom from religious oppression.  "Who is V?", Evey is asked in the end?  "He is all of us" is her reply.

And it is not just the Occupy movement.  I cannot help but think of the product "Summer's Eve" (here we go with "Eve" again) which has recently launched its ad campaign "Hail to the V", championing a woman's body part as the "cradle of life" and "the center of civilization".  It even starts out with a woman lifting up her baby in offering to the moon, a tribute to the mythological figure of Lilith who refused to submit to Adam as his first wife (again, symbolizing a rejection of authority).  Even the Summer's Eve website has been rebranded to celebrate the "Power of the V".

Am I rich?  Not by any means.  Am I a defender of the current policies of the U.S. government?  Not at all.  Neither is it my intent to vilify all participants in this movement.  Yet, the events we are witnessing are not so shallow as a mere political uprising nor as altruistic as those seeking justice for the downtrodden.

What we are seeing is the growing emergence of an unholy spirit which will weave the world together to wonder after the beast (Revelations 17:8).   As the protestor stated, the whole world is being unified under this spirit; a spirit which honors perversion and hates God (as well as those who serve Him).  In fact, they will claim that the persecution of the saints is actually doing God a favor (John 16:2)...because they serve a different god.

The world is getting ready to receive its king, the King of Sodom, who will hate and make war with the saints of God.  They are "legion", but we are overcomers in Jesus Christ.  Do not get caught up in wars and the rumor of wars or other end time events of which Jesus has already forewarned us.  Don't get entangled with the affairs of this life.  Get ready as the time comes at hand.
