The Rabbit Hole
Four years ago now my attention was drawn by an advert in the Guardian to the possibility that 9/11 as an event was not all it seemed. There were questions raised about the whole thing which, when pursued logically and with extensive enough research, brought me to some very alarming conclusions. At the same time I came across the phrase "the rabbit hole" which referred to a journey which, once begun, tends to lead you deeper into a perception of the truth about the world we now live in, and which you cannot realistically escape from because, like an investigation into a crime, it keeps unearthing new facts which when the dots are joined lead to some obvious conclusions. This is not something which can be described in a conversation, or even in one article on a blog. As a christian, I am keenly aware that human nature is flawed, that mankind has rebelled against God, and so I have known for many years that the world is not as God wants it. Also that the most effective way to work against this is to spread the Kingdom of God in such a way that people's hearts are changed. This is my first priority.
However it is also useful to know the nature of your enemy and what methods he is using to destroy the work of the Kingdom. God desires that we work for truth and justice and for the good of our community, and He does not expect us to turn a blind eye to those things which we can do something about. It has become obvious to many of us recently that the governments under whom we live and work, and the media through whom we receive our understanding of the world, and the banks through whom we are able to conduct the business necessary for survival in the western world are not at all what they seem. They are all under the control of a higher strata of a limited number of what I can only describe as psychopaths who are committed to bringing the world under the control of a single government and a single bank, which is ostensibly benevolent and will be portrayed as such until it is too late. I have wrestled with this possible reality for a long time now in the hope that I might be proved wrong and that I really am one of the "tin hatted conspiracy theorists" who the press use as whipping boys for anyone who suggests the world is not as we are required to believe. Or maybe that actually I am quite sane and it's the general herd who are hopelessly blind to the truth.
Now obviously things are extremely complex and the strands very difficult to bring together in order to get a sensible perspective on all this, but I am exhaustedly concluding at this point in time that I am not mad or obsessed but simply blessed with a level of discernment and intuition which is not at all enjoyable or entertaining. Also possessed of a brain and an ability to ferret through all the information (which let’s face it is only there due to the internet) and divide fact from fantasy. I will not therefore bury my head in the sand and pretend that everything is going to be alright really, and go back to the latest episode of Desperate Housewives, because my conscience will not allow me that luxury.
The immediate reality at the moment for someone living in England is the EU, which is clearly a step on the way to a world government, as part of a New World Order that will include a North American Union (already underway), a South Asian Union and an African Union (google them). The final steps to this will include a yes vote in Ireland this autumn, overturning their decisive no vote of 2008, and ratifying the Lisbon Treaty. This removes the last vestiges of our sovereignty and contributes to the gradual eradication of nationhood. The economic collapse has already provided the excuse for a world bank, and the latest flu outbreak the road to an expanded role for the W.H.O. All against the background rumble of war and terror in various places.
The interesting biblical background for all this is the tower of Babel, where God, due to man's overweening ambition and desire to be bigger and more powerful than his creator, said:
"If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." Genesis 11:6-7
And so the people were scattered across the earth and were divided into many nations and languages.
We are now reversing God's judgement. Think about it.

I don't know enough to make an informed decision about all this and if I'm honest, I know it's important stuff but I lack the time and energy to thoroughly research it.
But what keeps coming back to me is the fundamental problem of subjective vs objective. I'm still not convinced that anyone is able to gain a 'sensible perspective'. I believe there is objective truth, but I don't believe objectivity is attainable in this life. Ultimately it's still sifting through second/third/fourth/nth hand accounts and believing the ones that seem most credible to you.
Also I'm left still pondering what, given everything you say being true, you or I could actually do? Spreading the word about it, yes. Being aware, yes? But if the whole thing is as insidious as by its very nature it would have to be, what can be done?
Ultimately, the world will play out as it will and if this is the direction then we'll end up with some star wars style empire and what's left for us to do? Join the rebel alliance. But we did that years ago anyway.
The final thought occurs is that this could well be what the church needs at this point. Heaven knows, it's what's on the cards anyway. In which case would we not do well to speed up the process?
As Eric Champion says:
"Go ahead, it's the best thing you could do,
Take one away, make another two,
Three, four million knocking at your door,
Try to wipe us out, start another war.
But I...I'm not leaving you
I said I...I'm gonna do what he wants me to do."
Ask Rome what happened when they tried to stamp out the fire..

It informs how I vote! Other than that I have been completely disempowered by the existing system. Many people in the UK at the moment are in a quandary about that particular decision, and what is good is that there is a growing realisation that the three main parties have very little to differentiate between them, very little to offer and have not really progressed at all in the years since the 2nd world war. In fact we seem to be going backwards, and the sole solution offered, in a nutshell, appears now to be "globalisation" and an increasing centralisation both of power and personal information about the population.
It certainly will focus the church's mind, but the idea that we should speed up the process is prevalent amongst right wing fundamentalists in the USA who seem to think that bringing on Armageddon will hasten the Lord's return and so very little else now matters. I think the opposite is strangely the case - God wishes us to keep our integrity and to continue to fight against injustice and evil despite the fact that it might be an inconvenience to our headlong dash for the rapture. My only focus must be Christ. Nothing else has any value.
Ok well the speed it along thing was throwaway and I would never knowingly align myself with those idiots but it seems that we both reach the same conclusions from different angles.
I guess when the system's so rotten all you can do is put your efforts into sorting out your sphere of influence and hope that you'll gain a wider sphere or that your sphere will influence a wider sphere.
Sphere sphere sphere.
