All We Need is Love by Carol Wolman

John 15: ⁹ As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

 

It is easy to hate humanity these days.  From the point of view of any other species, we are the despoilers, the destroyers, the wreakers of havoc on this beautiful planet.  From our own point of view, we are self-destructive, fouling our nest with no thought for the future.  From a godly point of view, we are selfish, greedy, short-sighted, quarrelsome. 

 

It is especially easy to hate Americans.  From the point of view of any other nation, we are divided into three camps: the suicidally psychotic rapture cultists who provide the pious rulers with their base and legitimacy; the great muddled middle, which is confused by the TV propaganda, cowed by the threat of "terrorists", and knows which side its bread is buttered on; and the "progressives", probably the majority, who see how evil and destructive Bush is, but are too wimpy and cowardly to do much about it.

 

Many of us hate what America has become: a dollar-driven, mindless culture, appearing not to notice that it is being sucked dry by the Bush crime family.  A bullying, terrorizing rogue nation which is spreading uranium dust across the globe and pouring fossil fuel energy into the rapidly heating atmosphere.

An outlaw nation that claims to be on a godly crusade, while refusing to be bound by international treaties, and lying and plundering at will.   A shameless nation that has not the grace to apologize to the Iraqi people for the senseless murder of 100,000 civilians, the leveling of cities, the torture and terrorizing of the population.

 

Can God love us enough to overcome our self-hatred?  Can we find enough godliness within ourselves to justify our struggles for survival?  Do we deserve the sacrifice that Jesus made for us?  Do we love our children enough to do for them what He did for us?

 

Standing up to the corporate beast, the military dragon, and the false prophets of the rapture cult takes great courage.  We, the peacemakers, can rest assured that we are led by the Prince of Peace.   John 15: ⁹ As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.  

 

Our battle is described in Chapter 19 of Revelation: 

 

^{Rev 19: 11}And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.    ¹⁹And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

 

We are His army.  Our weapons are truth and righteousness. 

 

Rev 19:  ¹⁵And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

 

Our wrath at the hypocritical blasphemy of the pious rulers and the depredations of the corporate beast will enable us to overthrow them, impeach Bush, restore sanity to our planet.

 

  ^{Rev 19: 20}And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

 

Keep your faith.  We will prevail.

 

John 15: ⁹ As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.  

 

In the name of the Prince of Peace,   Carol Wolman
