Arizona’s Immigration Law’s Ruling and the Spirit of Lawlessness in America
The current migration of foreigners seeking to enter into the United States illegally is being backed and supported by Obama, the Left and also Moderates (which was also previously supported by the Bush Administration, by the way). Even some prominent evangelical leaders have drunken the kool-aid on this. The supporters of illegal immigration have their own deranged reasoning and agenda in backing this endeavor, but it is one that is based on lawlessness and against the very fiber of the Constitution of the United States. In light of today’s ruling on Arizona’s new immigration law SB 1070, is it a surprise to anyone how the matter was decided? Come on now… Why would the Obama “leftist” administration risk taking their lawless agenda to the courts without knowing what the final out come would be? What helps their lawless agenda is that one of the Left’s own lawless minions, Judge Susan Bolton was there to bring about the administrations desires pertaining to this ruling. The continual demonization of Arizona’s Immigration Law, people and governor has been an on going rant in the Left’s media’s cycle for months now. The rule of law means absolutly nothing to these people who are by choice: lawless, drunk with power and seek to assert their non-natural views of natural laws, immorallity and ideology (Rom. 1:18-32) over our nation which was founded on the rule of law (The Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God). . "This Spirit of Lawlessness abounds in many different areas today, and is quite prevalent throughout our land" This Spirit of Lawlessness abounds in many different areas today, and is quite prevalent throughout our land. This spirit pervades our government in Washington D.C., the states, local municipalities, our culture and society. This arrogant disregard of Natural Laws and America’s Constitutional Law is leading this country that was founded upon Judean/ Christian values and laws into a dire state of anarchy. These “American Apostates” are dominated by a narcissistic spirit, emotionally driven without logic and common sense. These see any kind of laws - especially those ordained by Almighty God (both spiritual and natural) - as fascist, tyrannical and despotic. As a little child that wants what it wants no matter what, so are these adults addicted to narcissistic traits and desires. God’s Word states that in the Last Days this mood would dominate the world, setting the stage for the Man of Lawlessness, Lucifer’s Anti-Christ (2 Thess. 2:3-12; 2 Tim. 3:1-7). The most insane thing is that in their core delusional belief of relativism, lawlessness and godlessness, they seek to establish and create a global utopian system of harmony and peace. When eternal absolutes and natural laws are disregarded and abandoned, how can any have “harmony and peace” with anyone else (Isa. 24:5-6; 48:22; 57:20)? Even an ignorant fisherman can see that it is absolutely impossible! All that will be the result is violence, decadence and bloodshed. The ~ 6,000 years of human history have amply demonstrated that fact (Isa. 59:7; Romans 3:9-23). It is this spirit of anti christ (1 John 2:18, 22) that is currently setting the global stage for the world’s final showdown with Almighty God at the Battle of Armageddon (Psalm 2; Zech. 14:2-3; Rev. 16:13-16). "It is this spirit of anti -christ that is currently setting the global stage for the world’s final showdown with Almighty God at the Battle of Armageddon" Our Nation is a nation of the rule of Law that was based on “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” This nation is also a nation of immigrants. American citizenship has always been obtained by the course of American law. As this pro-illegal immigration agenda is pushed in place by the Leftist and Moderates of America, expect a state of anarchy and lawlessness to abound at unprecedented levels. It is what MUST BE in these last days. The Day of the Lord is at hand! What Is Needed To Enter God's Heaven Legally
Only in Christ is found the righteousness that we so desperately need to enter into Almighty God’s Holy and Perfect Heaven legally. We can NEVER illegally enter into Almighty God's holy Heaven. It is only through God’s Son that we have forgiveness of sins and fellowship with God the Father. It is in Christ that we have true sonship (John 1:12; Gal. 3:26) and citizenship (Eph. 2:19; Philip. 3:20) in God’s glorious righteous Heaven forever (Rev 22:5). "We can NEVER illegally enter Almighty God's holy Heaven. It is only through God’s Son that we have forgiveness of sins and fellowship with God the Father" That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption (1 Cor. 1:29-30).
Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? It is through Christ alone that we have bold access into the presence of God and gain valid citizenship in Heaven. My friend, be sure that you are trusting in Almighty God’s Son as taught in the Holy Scriptures, for your eternal destiny depends on it. Place your trust in Him today. You will NEVER be the same!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! DJP I.F.

The Crossroads - Big Government or Almighty God
Today many in the United States are crying out to President Obama and Government to do more and more to fix our social ills. The notion that Big Government has all of the answers and solutions we need in this very chaotic and unstable world is a fairy tale. It is one that is rooted in the mistaken belief that Fallen Man through and by the efforts of Big Government or Socialism can bring security and comfort to its citizens or constituents. There is no man-made ideology or system that can ever usher in a world Utopia of perfection and bliss. These ideologies are delusional though full of good intentions. The truth is that man apart from Almighty God and His righteousness - no matter how sincere he is - can only bring upon himself the consequences of his own evil doings. While Conservative values (WHICH ARE BASED ON NATURAL LAWS AND MORAL ABSOLUTES) are tried and true and are thus the best ideology for a profitable existence in time, these are no replacement for possessing a saving relationship with God's Messiah (Christ), which is absolutely essential for Almighty God's Eternal and Holy (Perfect) Heaven. The Conservative and Liberal ideologies of the day can never provide the eternal RIGHTEOUSNESS and heavenly necessities demanded by Almighty God and found only in the person of Almighty God's Son, Jesus Christ (see Romans 10:4). What is insane about our day is that countless Americans are choosing Obama's Socialism over the Almighty God and TRUE liberty. “What is insane about our day is that countless Americans are choosing Obama’s Socialism over the Almighty God and TRUE liberty.” Read what the Word of God, the Bible, has to say about this question: Now the works of the flesh (our fallen humanity) are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:20-21) And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. (Matthew 15:17-21) The Fallen Nature of Man Can Never Bring About True Peace:
But the wicked (unsaved humanity) are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. (Isaiah 57:20)
This Social Gospel of man is in direct opposition to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. (Romans 14:17) Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.(1 Corinthians 15:1-4)
One must CHOSE whom they will trust, i.e., Big Government or Almighty God. Jesus said: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33)
To obtain true righteousness and peace one must know the Prince of Peace, The Lord Jesus Christ. Only through Christ can this possibility become a reality: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22)
Do you know the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ, as your Savior? And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. (Isaiah 45:21b-22) But as many as received him (Jesus Christ), to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. (John 1:12)
In these turbulent days of uncertainty and unrest, may you abandon man's social gospel and put your faith - your total trust - in God's true Gospel that contains and consists of the wonderful Person of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ! The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand!DJP I.F. Edited by BEL I.F.

Operation Slander - The Race Card and the Father There Of
During any rational discussion or debate on social or political issues, when the Left find themselves devoid of a rational reply they always have one tactic in their reprobate arsenal and game plan: Operation Slander. The secular, liberal Leftist ideology is based on a delusional reality, governed and dominated by an irrational, emotional instability which springs forth from a well of outright disdain for the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. They are also dominated by their unbridled passions and carnal addictions (Rom. 1:18-32, 2 Tim 3:1-7, Gal 5:19-21). When confronted with reality and light, these MUST with all speed DEMONIZE, put on the DEFENSIVE, DISCREDIT and DESTROY to render their opponent powerless and obsolete (John 3:19-21). This defense mechanism of slander is the one trait that gives the liberal and his unnatural, non-absolute governed mind (Rom. 1:18-32, 3:14-18) power to protect and preserve their reprobate ideology, position and personal character. "The slander tactic is the last desperate attempt in the struggle for self-preservation at all costs. That is why they will NOT hold back and are quite vengeful in delivering their blasphemies."
As a skunk seeks to protect itself with a pungent, vile spray on their enemy, so also does this crowd with their baseless stigmatizing, character assassination and casting a slanderous, foul odor on those who stand in their way, representing right and truth. This defensive tactic utilizing lies and deceit, partial truths and utter falsehood works wondrously on any potential victim. From the most powerful to the most common of men, all against whom it is directed are so sullied and stigmatized by this vile slanderous odor that it ruins them irrevocably. The slander tactic is the last desperate attempt in the struggle for self-preservation at all costs. That is why they will NOT hold back and are quite vengeful in delivering their blasphemies. . The Race Card Trumps
There have been many baseless slanders with which the Left has sought to demonize the Right. These include slanderous terms and phrases such as bigot, sexist, xenophobe, starver of innocent children, stealer of social security, hater of equal rights, vile oppressor of the poor, etc... are always given out of context and contrary to the moral absolutes and natural laws in stilled by the Creator of all, Almighty God. But nothing has divided (and still divides) America and Americans as the Race Card. This tactic instills hatred and rage into the oppressed masses. The Race Card is the tactic of choice used by the Left on those who they are seeking to discredit and destroy. From Bork, GW and Rush to the Tea Parties and Conservatives in general, the Left loves to play this card….and small wonder? Ninety percent of the black vote in American goes to the white run, secular-socialist, immoral and decadent Democratic Party. "What is most troubling and tragic is that those who the Democratic Left seeks to slander and destroy with their destructive accusations are the very ones who have been the greatest advocates for civil rights and equality for all based on the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God." What is most troubling and tragic is that those who the Democratic Left seeks to slander and destroy with their destructive accusations are the very ones who have been the greatest advocates for civil rights and equality for all based on the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. A brief review and historical study of the topic should silence any critics. There is countless overwhelming evidence to this fact, as history has shown who is on the right side of this issue and who is not. No one can deny that our beloved U.S.A. has in its past the blood of African-American slaves and terrible, vile atrocities committed against them. But a close examination of who these oppressors were will reveal a common unity with the Democratic, secular godless Left of today and their continuing oppression of the black man and family. (Read: Uncle Sam's Plantation by Star Parker)We have seen of late - especially in light of Michelle Obama’s address to the NAACP (a leftist, Marxist, liberal organization, by the way) - this tactic in full deployment. The more we see and hear this baseless Race Card slander from the Left, the more we know they are at their wits end and are devoid of any kind of reasonable debate based on Natural Laws in the arena of ideas. Redefining America with the Victicrat Sword
It’s no secret that the totalitarian regime of Barak Hussein Obama is at war with America’s Founding Fathers, our Constitution and all that has been traditionally American. Obama and the Left are continually trying to redefine America and its godly heritage on a daily basis. They seek to remold it into their secular-socialist visions of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Alinsky and Ayers. Every policy instituted by Obama and the Left has been implemented by means of lies, false promises, subtle false virtues and totally baseless slander of any who oppose their lawless designs on America. They single handedly oppress the lower class of Americans (red, yellow, black and white) socially ravished and devastated by the socialistic fallout and designs of their secular “ Demelite” masters on the Left. Their core goal is to keep these (victicrats) dumbed down, subjective, needy, angry, oppressed, envious, bitter and constantly enraged for serving their socialistic designs. It is the Left’s master design to keep the American Dream as far as humanly possible from these socially dependent masses, with the reason being that they can be at the Left’s beck and call at any occasion. These victicrats are as a sword in the hand of the Left to wield against their enemies for the purpose of intimidation and ultimate destruction. "It is the Left’s master design to keep the American Dream as far as humanly possible from these socially dependent masses, with the reason being that they can be at the Left’s beck and call at any occasion" It must be noted that the victicrat must find his salvation and hope in Almighty God's Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17, Acts 4:12) and in His righteousness (Rom. 10:2-4), not in Washington D.C.'s oppressive solutions of tyranny. Operation Slander 2010
With the lawless, Darwinistic, secular-socialist Democrats facing the loss of a great quantity of congressional seats to a few true conservatives and mostly moderate Republicans in the 2010 elections this Fall, the Left has only one option to use for damage control and salvaging their power base. That option is Operation Slander. From now until November, the Left will be on the full offensive to put the Moderate and Right on the defensive. The Father of the Slander Tactic
Lucifer, the Son of the Morning, the greatest creation of Almighty God, is the progenitor and father of the slander tactic (John 8:44; Ezek. 28:12, 15). He is called the Father of Lies, Satan (adversary), the Devil (slanderer), the dragon, that old serpent (Rev. 12:9). In eternity past Lucifer enjoyed a relationship to Almighty God. I truly believe there was a point in his existence where he loved and adored and the Triune God with all his heart. He had the chief place as Protector of the Holiness of God (Ezek. 28:14), and he was the worship leader and choir director of Heaven (Ezek. 28:13). Lucifer enjoyed all the heavenly blessings of his rank and position. As events proceeded, though, there came a time when he became proud, arrogant, envious and bitter. In his foolish heart he sought the place of his Eternal Creator and Sovereign for himself, and he led a delusional rebellion against Almighty God in which he and his followers were cast out (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:15-18; Jude 1:6; Rev. 12:4). Lucifer could have remained in his highly honored position indefinitely, enjoying the eternal blessings and fellowship with His Creator. In his madness, however, Lucifer chose rather to abandon the confines of absolute reality and perfection for a vain existence in the darkness of make-believe and delusion. In his attempt to exalt and preserve himself at all cost, he rejected and abandoned all that was real, becoming a murderer of souls, a tyrant of humanity, a despot to the fallen angelic host and a mastermind of slander, false truths and darkness. He is known as the Prince of Darkness (error, delusion and vain imagination), for this is his reality (Isaiah 14:16-17; John 8:44; 1 John 3:8; Rev. 12:9). "In a vain attempt to preserve his estate at any cost, Lucifer designed the slander tactic to deflect any righteous criticism and to distract attention from his lawless activity and diabolical intentions."
.
He is the adversary (Satan) against ALL reality, truth and eternal absolutes, i.e., all that pertains to Almighty God. He is the slanderer (devil) against all those who stand in his way, especially those who trust and believe in Almighty God in Spirit and Truth and so are His children and followers (John 8:44). Lucifer's (Satan's) Minions abound everywhere today in the American Mainstream Media, Washington, local principalities, Hollywood, etc. They unknowingly do his will. He knows how to maneuver and appeal to our carnal (fleshly) fallen nature which is governed by the five physical senses (sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing). The secular liberal mindset is the most open to Satan's suggestions for a Godless trend-setting agenda. They do his will quite readily because they are the most susceptible to it (1 Tim 4:1-3, 2 Tim. 3:1-7, 2 Thess. 2:10-12). As these days are coming to a great climax called the tribulation, a period of lawlessness and the Day of Almighty God’s wrath, expect the slanderous activity of godless men and women to intensify at exponential speeds (Matt 24, 2 Tim. 3:1-7). There is only One who is trust worthy and true (Titus 1:2, Heb. 6:18). There is only One who is worthy of all praise and honor (Rev. 4:11, 5:9). There is only One who, no matter how much He is blasphemed and slandered against, will always will be vindicated in the endlessness of forever (Isa. 45:23, Rom. 14:11, Rev. 22:1-5). Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? In these last days make sure and certain that you truly know the One who in the end will be victorious forevermore.

The Increasing Number and Intensity of Earthquakes Worldwide! - A Sign that the Day of the Lord is at Hand!
Of the many different natural disasters that exist, nothing is as terrifying and devastating as the awesome power of an earthquake. In just a few moments of time an earthquake can unleash catastrophic damage and the deaths of multitudes. Who can forget the recent earthquake in Jamaica in 2009? As we inch ever closer to the coming Day of the Lord, we are seeing a marked global increase in the number and intensity of earthquakes - just as Jesus said we would (see Matt. 24:7-8; Mark 13:8)! "As we inch ever closer to the coming Day of the Lord, we are seeing a marked global increase in the number and intensity of earthquakes - just as Jesus said we would" The Facts from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
Over the past three decades the world’s seismologists and scientific community has observed and documented increasing numbers of 7.0 Richter magnitude scale ( RMS) earthquakes. Earthquake activity has absolutely “skyrocketed” during the last thirty years, and many seismologists are seriously concerned and even panicked about what lies ahead. Note the following from the USGS: From 1980 to 1990 the number of earthquakes with a 7.0 or greater RMS was 8. From 1990 to 2000 the number of earthquakes with a 7.0 or greater RMS was 33. From 2000 to 2010 the number of earthquakes with a 7.0 or greater RMS was… 121! "In the last thirty years from 1980 to 2010, there has been an overall 1500% increase in 7.0 RMS earthquakes world-wide!" In comparing the total number of earthquakes recorded between the years 1980-1990 and 1990-2000, there was a 400% increase in 7.0 RMS earthquakes. Comparing the years between 1990-2000 and 2000-2010, there was nearly another 400% increase in 7.0 RMS earthquakes. In the last thirty years from 1980 to 2010, there has been an overall 1500% increase in 7.0 RMS earthquakes world-wide! This is the trend observed in the last thirty years. No wonder that the seismologist and scientific world community is in a state of sheer panic! "Jesus stated that, Earthquakes would increase in intensity as a woman that is about to bring forth her child. As the birth pangs of labor intensifies, the register of the contractions increase more frequently and in greater intensity" Jesus stated that in the time leading up to the period known as the “Last Days” that earthquakes would increase in intensity as a woman that is about to bring forth her child. As the birth pangs of labor intensifies, the register of the contractions increase more frequently and in greater intensity. During the birth of all of my children, I ( DJP I.F.) personally watched and noted this pattern, and indeed for any who have ever observed the birth of a child, this reflects exactly what the Word of God has to say about it (Jer. 22:23; John 16:21). Earthquakes in the Seven Year Tribulation
Earthquakes are just one of the many natural disasters that will come upon the world during this seven year period. Pestilence, famine, global war, supernatural judgments, demonic global oppression, and demonic dominance unparalleled since the dawn of man will transpire during this time (Isa. 24; Matt. 24; Rev. 6-19). Jesus stated that at the beginning of this tribulation period, earthquakes would occur in many different places all over the face of the earth in great power and intensity (Luke 21:11; 1 Thess. 5:3). Do You Believe?
My friend, one must be absolutely blind to miss the overwhelming evidence found in Almighty God’s Word which describe end-time events leading up to the Day of the Lord. As these ever increasing signs point to the Day of the Lord and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, in which He will judge the world and its inhabitants for their multitude of transgressions against their Creator (Rev. 19:11-21), may you be prepared to receive and believe the precious truths and promises found in Almighty God’s Word, and to believe them with all your heart. "These ever increasing signs point to the Day of the Lord and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ" Do you personally know the Lord Jesus as your Savior? If not, invest your time and faith to be sure that you do. In Him alone are found all the remedies for our fallen humanity and pardon for all our transgressions against His ETERNAL, RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES (John 3:16-17, 1 Cor. 1:30-31). Place your trust in Him today before you find yourself amidst the soon coming Day of Wrath. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!DJP I.F. Edited by BEL I.F.

Prince Charles and His Green Islamo-Fascist Paupers
On June 9 th, Prince Charles delivered a stunning speech to the Center for Islamic Studies at Oxford wherein he called for a western pantheistic religious synthesis with Islam to help save the world from the impending environmental catastrophe looming on the apocalyptic horizon. Shockingly, Prince Charles strongly believes that Islam can play a critical role in bringing back ancient religious traditions that will promote a much needed check on western man’s unbridled enthusiasm for capitalism, power and money where science has been inappropriately exploited by commerce since the Industrial Revolution. Prince Charles presumes that such a course of action will return the western world back to a more reverent attitude toward Nature. Tracing the wedding between science and capitalism to Galileo and his mechanistic view of the natural world, Prince Charles asserted that such views has brought modern civilization to the precipice of an environmental apocalypse, especially as the Third World tries to catch up. Mother Nature has become objectified as an “it,” and hence exploited as such. He then concluded his speech by quoting an old saying from Islamic nomads, “the best of all Mosques is Nature herself.” "He called for a western pantheistic religious synthesis with Islam to help save the world from the impending environmental catastrophe looming on the apocalyptic horizon" Although Prince Charles did briefly cite from the book of Genesis in the middle of his speech and appealed to Christian apologists G.K. Chesterton and C.S. Lewis toward the end, his lecture was far from a Christian one. Not only did he mix up pantheism with classic Judeo-Christian theism, but also with Islamic monotheism as well. As the future heir of the Head of the Church of England, this may not bode well for the future of Anglicanism. Furthermore, his blending of pantheism with theism is much more an issue of his own wishful thinking than it is something that can be theologically defended with intellectual integrity.
Pantheism is the belief that God is everything. The Greek word ‘pan’ means ‘every’ and ‘theism’ means belief in ‘God.’ Built on pagan foundations, pantheism stands in sharp contrast to Judeo-Christian theism precisely because the Bible unabashedly asserts that God is the transcendent Creator of the universe. This means that God stands outside the universe. He is thus completely independent of His creation, all of which is perfectly illustrated in Genesis 1 where He speaks the entire universe into existence through His all-powerful Word. God’s existence is thus not contingent upon the universe, but rather the universe is contingent upon Him. While it is true that since the God of the Bible also declares Himself to be omnipresent, or everywhere at once, this suggests that He also lives immanently within the world. However, this is not be confused with pantheism where God is not only reduced to the level of Nature, but in fact is a part of Nature. In pantheism, God is the universe, or Nature Herself. In other words, pantheism is a form of Nature worship where Nature is worshiped as god, usually in the name of Mother Earth or “ Gaia.” k "Prince Charles’s reference to Genesis was thus extremely brief, reducing Adam and Eve to mere environmental conservationists whose primary job was to protect the garden of Eden for future generations" m As such, Prince Charles’s reference to Genesis was thus extremely brief, reducing Adam and Eve to mere environmental conservationists whose primary job was to protect the garden of Eden for future generations. Only a modern environmentalist could possibly understand the opening chapters of Genesis in this way. He conveniently ignored the most salient point in Genesis about man, i.e., that although Adam is formed from the soil of the earth, he was also made in the image of God (Gen 1:26-28). This marks off Adam from the rest of creation (Gen 1-2; Psalm 8). Genesis clearly teaches that this makes Adam and Eve the king and queen of the earth (Gen 1:26-31), something which modern environmentalists have been bristling at for some 200 years now. To add insult to injury, God then commands Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth (Gen 1:28). Such commands are an absolute anathema to the modern green movement as it constantly obsesses over human population growth and sustainable development, always trying to force people to reduce their human footprint. What’s more is that this Genesis mandate has never been rescinded. Neither is it a coincidence that original scientists like Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton were all Christian theists. Contrary to popular opinion these days, their brand of science was a continuation of the Genesis mandate, something which Francis Bacon certainly recognized when he coined the phrase, “knowledge is power.” By this, he specifically meant power over nature, something which Prince Charles criticizes throughout his lecture. It must also be remembered that Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo challenged the semi-pantheistic Aristotelian view of the universe, not the biblical one, something which is almost always completely misunderstood and misrepresented with regard to the Copernican revolution. The Catholic scholastics of the Middle Ages gave too much deference to Aristotle, which has unfairly given Christianity a bad reputation in the scientific community. Strangely, it is this pantheistic Greek ‘science’ that Prince Charles wishes to return to when he criticizes modern science for being too mechanistic and too beholden to capitalistic consumerism. What he also completely fails to realize is that science in the hands of progressive socialistic engineers with a government whip has been far more brutal to people than anything free market capitalism has ever tried. The Genesis mandate was designed by God for Adam and Eve to convert the wilderness into a garden through work, marriage and procreation (Gen 1-2). The garden of Eden was in fact their model or pattern to follow. In Genesis 2, God planted a garden right in front of Adam’s eyes to show him the difference between the wilderness and the garden. The wilderness has thus never been the divine ideal in the Bible, even as far back as Genesis 1. Even ancient Israel after the Exodus from the house of slavery in Egypt continued the Genesis mandate. The Conquest of Joshua was specifically intended to turn the promised land of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob into beautiful privately owned farms parceled out to each Hebrew family for the glory of God. This was something that the ‘green’ nature worshipers of Canaan were not doing. In fact, after the Conquest, Israel often found themselves completely seduced by the Canaanite Baal nature worship practices that surrounded them on all sides. The Old Testament time and time again declares that the reason why the divided kingdom of Israel was subjected to its respective captivities into both Assyria (722 BC) and Babylon (606-586 BC) was precisely because of their Baal nature worship (2 Kings 14:28-17:18; Hosea; Jeremiah 19:1-15).
As such, even more troublesome for Prince Charles is that after Adam and Eve fell into sin, the distance between the environmental and Judeo-Christian worldviews sharpens even more. Adam and Eve were subsequently banished from the garden paradise that God created for them (Gen 3:24). Harmony between man and nature is henceforth forbidden – and this by the edict of God. In fact, the Lord purposefully frustrated nature to frustrate and discipline man in his sin (Gen 3:17-19; Rom 8:20-22). Still more troublesome is that the Lord then shockingly introduced animal sacrifice to cover their shameful nakedness in sin (Gen 3:21; 4:4; Lev 1:1-5). Ritual animal sacrifice was thus inaugurated to teach Adam and Eve about the serious consequences of sin, i.e., death. Redemption must therefore be accomplished through a sacrificial substitute to die in the place of the sinful worshiper, all looking forward to the ultimate sacrifice of the Messiah on the cross (John 1:29; 10:1-17). In other words, in the brave new world of sin, nature is sacrificed for man, not man for nature. This hard lesson was quickly rejected by Cain (Gen 4:1-16). His ‘green’ gifts were outright rejected by God, but Abel’s sacrificial lamb was accepted. At this, Cain becomes extremely angry and kills his brother. Thus environmentalism was at the heart of the first murder in human history. Cain did not appreciate the fact that the ground from which he offered his green offering to God was in fact cursed. . "In other words, in the brave new world of sin, nature is sacrificed for man, not man for nature" . As a deep ecologist, it is not likely that Prince Charles is unaware of this biblical albatross. He thus had to go elsewhere to find a spirituality that is more compatible with environmentalism. At this particular juncture, Prince Charles goes to the Muslims rather than to Brahmanism, Hinduism, Buddhism and the like. He points out that the Koran repeatedly “describes the natural world as the handiwork of a unitary benevolent power. It very explicitly describes Nature as possessing an ‘intelligibility’ and that there is no separation between the natural world and God. It offers a completely integrated view of the Universe where religion and science, mind and matter are all part of one living, conscious whole. We are therefore finite beings contained by an infinitude, and each of us is a microcosm of the whole. This suggests to me that Nature is a knowing partner, never a mindless slave to humanity, and we are Her tenants, God’s guests for all too short a time.” In the mind of Prince Charles, therefore, Islam and western pantheism thus have much in common.
Fretting over Nature’s finite resources by using Malthusian math, which has been completely discredited for over 200 years now, Prince Charles warned everyone present that “we are living beyond our means, already consuming the Earth’s capital resources faster than she can replenish them.” Throughout the speech, he often refers to what he calls the “ever widening division we are seeing in so many ways between humanity and Nature.” He also parroted the typical environmental obsession that the planet’s “life support systems are now struggling to cope under the strain of global industrialization.” Even more typical, he tied together the current financial crisis with the looming environmental crisis, which he believes reflects an “inner crisis of the soul.” He then sermonized that the resolution to this great crisis cannot consist of better green technology, but a return to western pantheistic religious traditions that even stretches farther east to ancient Islam, “the traditional way of life within Islam is very clear about the center that holds relationships together. From what I know of its core teachings and commentaries, the important principle we must keep in mind is that there are limits to the abundance of Nature. These are not arbitrary limits, they are limits imposed by God and, as such, if my understanding of the Koran is correct, Muslims are commanded not to transgress them.” Here Prince Charles makes Islam’s traditions perfectly consistent with the modern environmental drive to force sustainable development upon the western civilized world. b "He also parroted the typical environmental obsession that the planet’s “life support systems are now struggling to cope under the strain of global industrialization" i To the surprise of many, Nazism was a green movement in some important, fundamental ways. Its god was a western pantheistic god of Nature whose totalitarian will cannot be overcome as many Jews, Christians, liberals, and communists falsely presume. Herein lies the Nazi hatred for both capitalism and communism. Its Anti-Semitic racism and love for biology was rooted in the Social Darwinian ecology of Ernst Haeckel. Its holistic nationalism and geopolitics was grounded in the environmental indigenous ideas of Goethe, Humboldt and Arndt. Its Germanic green socialism was derived from Riehl, the father of sustainable development and public forestlands. Its romantic “blood and soil” agrarian pipe dream was borrowed from the nature loving Monist League. The Nazi love for animals was acquired from Arthur Schopenhauer, the Anti-Semitic guru of environmental ethics and animal rights who blamed Genesis 1 and Judaism for what he calls the “odor of the Jews,” i.e., animal cruelty, “the fault lies with the Jewish view that regards animals as something manufactured for man’s use.” Hitler could quote Schopenhauer verbatim. Schopenhauer was Hitler’s favorite philosopher. It was thus no coincidence that the first Anti-Semitic measure that was passed in Nazi Germany in 1933 was an animal rights law. That the Jews would ultimately find themselves stuffed in cattle cars and sent off to concentration camps set up like stockyards, is thus perhaps not so curious. Hitler brought to fruition Schopenhauer’s great wish that the “Jewish view of the animals world must, on account of its immorality, be expelled from Europe.” The end result of Nazi Germany was a ghastly green sacrifice of the so-called ‘Eternal Jew’ who tried to live above nature through capitalism in the west, and communism in the east. m "It was thus no coincidence that the first Anti-Semitic measure that was passed in Nazi Germany in 1933 was an animal rights law" n Finally, Nazism’s wild, artistic romanticism was elicited from Richard Wagner, the famous opera composer who hated the Jews for commercializing art. Wagner also absorbed the Anti-Semitic environmentalism of both Schopenhauer and Haeckel into his life as well. As such, when Hitler once remarked that “whoever wishes to comprehend National Socialism must first know Richard Wagner,” this certainly included a strong respect for romantic green ideas, racial and otherwise. Hitler even attributed his vegetarianism to Richard Wagner. Indeed, on November 11, 1941, right as the Germany Army was within striking distance of the gates of Moscow, Hitler trumpeted, “but there is one thing I can predict to eaters of meat, that the world of the future will be vegetarian.” Eco-fascism is thus no metaphor. Even Greenpeace’s founder, Patrick Moore, who left the group because of their increasingly extremist views, has warned of a coming eco-fascism “where the planetary police would answer to no one but Mother Nature herself.” However, it is one thing to call someone an eco-Nazi using metaphors, but quite another to discover that the Nazis had incorporated a green agenda into their political policymaking as well. For obvious reasons, putting these two things together is exactly what modern environmentalists do not want. When such a label begins to match its history at some important junctures, it becomes much more explosive, and the bringing together of environmentalism with Islam will not dispel the strong suspicion that the modern green movement wreaks of fascism. It only injects much more octane into an already highly volatile atmosphere.
