IS THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL FOR
AMERICA? -

Pastor Chuck Baldwin

"In
the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against
the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and
the king saw the part of the hand that wrote." Daniel 5:5 (KJV)
"And
this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This
is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom,
and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found
wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided." Daniel 5:26-28 (KJV) -
Secularists
will not admit it, but nations rise and fall at the pleasure of Almighty
God. -
America's founders certainly understood this fact.
-
Even Benjamin
Franklin, who was one of the least spiritual of America's Founding Fathers,
told the delegates at the constitutional convention, "We have been assured,
Sir, in the sacred writings, that 'Except the Lord build the house, they
labour in vain that build it.' I firmly believe this; and I also believe
that without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building
no better than the Builders of Babel." -
Our
first and greatest President, George Washington, agreed with Franklin.
He said, "No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible
hand which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United
States." -
Thomas
Jefferson, too, believed that nations rose and fell before God. -
He said,
"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed
their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these
liberties are of the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but
with his wrath?" -
The
sentiments expressed by Franklin, Washington, and Jefferson were expressed
almost universally by America's founders. -
From the founding of these United
States and throughout most of our history, people (even our leaders) understood
that "God governs in the affairs of men" (Franklin). -
We understood that
it was not so much our military might, industrial strength, or financial
stability, but divine blessing that secured our liberty. -
We believed that
scriptural injunction, "The horse is prepared against the day of battle:
but safety is of the LORD." Proverbs 21:31 (KJV) -
However, it appears obvious
that most Americans (including Christians), and especially most of our
political leaders, have forgotten this principle. -
As a
result, many of us are asking the question, Is the handwriting on the
wall for America? Have our days been numbered by God? Is our republic
finished? Will God divide and conquer our country? Many are suggesting
that the signs indicate the answer is yes. -
For
one thing, we have a federal government that is totally out of control. -
The checks and balances that were built into our constitution have been
all but eviscerated. -
For the most part, the people have no real input
into their governance anymore. -
Between Big Media, Big Business, and vote
fraud, even honest and fair elections may be a thing of the past. -
The
American people cannot trust their government spokesmen--or the media
that is entrusted with the task of keeping them honest--to tell them the
truth. -
The dishonesty and duplicity of our political and business leaders
have produced an almost universal distrust among the American people. -
We have been lied to so often that it is hard to remember when we were
last told the truth by almost anyone in Washington, D.C., especially at
the Executive level. -
We have
been lied to about the Kennedy assassination, the USS Liberty, Waco, 9/11,
the war in Iraq, the Oklahoma City bombing, and virtually every other
major American tragedy. -
It is to the point that we cannot believe ANYTHING
that this government--and its toadies in the media--tells us. -
Even our
Christian leaders have bought into this deception -
Either
wittingly or unwittingly, our Christian leaders are party to deceiving
the American people. -
For example, not only do they refuse to do any serious
investigation into the shenanigans of the Bush administration, they refuse
to even listen to the factual investigations that have been done. -
Willful
ignorance has destroyed the Church in America today. -
Just
look how our illustrious Christian leaders are beginning to coalesce around
the corrupt candidacy of John McCain (as if a McCain Presidency would
be any better than a Democratic one). -
Remember,
it was Senator John McCain who single-handedly shut down the investigation
and effort to bring home American POWs from Vietnam and surrounding countries. -
Why would a former POW do such a thing, unless, as reported by other Vietnam
Vets who are in the know, it was to keep those POWs from coming home and
testifying to McCain's collaboration with his communist captors? -
Remember,
it is Senator John McCain who is committed to granting amnesty to tens
of millions of illegal aliens. -
It is John McCain who has an F- grade from
the Gun Owners of America for his miserable anti-Second Amendment voting
record in the U.S. Senate. -
It is John McCain who was the ringleader of
the infamous (not to mention unethical) Keating Five, who cost America
taxpayers more than $160 billion. -
As a
longstanding member of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR),
John McCain will most definitely support the march toward a North American
Union, the NAFTA superhighway, and the creation of a North American currency,
called the AMERO. -
He will also pursue George W. Bush's neocon policy of
empire building and preemptive war. As Pat Buchanan said, "John McCain
will make Dick Cheney look like Gandhi." -
Add
to the above the collaboration between Big Business and Big Government
in a continual, covert conspiracy to spy on the American people. -
Plus, who can tell what God will do with
a serious effort to restore liberty and independence in this land? -
Is the
handwriting on the wall for America? Yes it is. -
Instead
of wringing their hands and simply waiting for Jesus to return, we need
to get in the fight to restore our constitutional republic. The foundation
is still there; and millions of people--churched and unchurched--are ready
and willing to fight with us. -
As Patrick
Henry said during our initial struggle for independence, "[W]e shall not
fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies
of Nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.
The battle, Sir, is not to the strong alone. It is to the vigilant, the
active, the brave." -
But that does not mean
there is nothing we can do. We can do everything we should do, knowing
that there is a God in Heaven who "presides over the destinies of Nations." -
The fact is, the friends of liberty Patrick Henry spoke of may be found
in the most unlikely places and faces. So be it. We are not trying to
build a Sunday School class; we are trying to preserve our constitutional
republic. -
In so
doing, we need political leaders such as Ron Paul, spiritual leaders such
as Pastors Tony Romo and James Riddle (for my list of "Black Regiment"
pastors, go
here, educators such as David Alan Black and Steven Yates, business
leaders such as Frank Fluckiger and William H. Ball, Jr., attorneys such
as Edwin Vieira, Jr., and Herb Titus, journalists and writers such as
Jerome Corsi and John McManus, film makers such as Ron Maxwell, and everyday
patriots such as you and me. -
Besides,
God may think it is time to divide the kingdom out of the hands of the
globalist elitists and place it back where it belongs: with "We the people."
What say you? -
Where was John Hagee? Where
was Pat Robertson? Where was James Dobson? Where was Tony Perkins? -
Christians
should not bury their heads in their theology books, however. -
Notice,
too, how those who refuse to go along with this New World Order are treated
by the political and media establishments. -
McCain's nomination makes it all the more imperative
that we break the two-party death grip that is choking the life out of
America. -
See how they virtually ignored
Duncan Hunter, Alan Keyes, and Tom Tancredo. Even the liberal Democrat,
Dennis Kucinich, was ignored and lampooned, because he dared to question
the globalist agenda of the elites in Washington, D.C., and New York City. -
I was
one of only a handful of Christian ministers with any kind of a national
following who publicly endorsed Ron Paul. -
Yes, they have
the power to restore Biblical principles and constitutional government
to America's public life. -
I, therefore, strongly urge Dr. Paul to continue
his Presidential campaign by obtaining the nomination of the Constitution
Party. (It is his for the taking, should he pursue it.) -
In
fact, a John McCain administration will finish whatever semblance of conservatism
yet remains in the GOP. -
One
does not have to possess the gift of prophecy to read the signs. -
See, especially, how they demonized Congressman Ron Paul. As Dr. Paul's
campaign grew, so did the attacks against him from the media and political
elites. Even Christian leaders opposed him. -
Of course,
America's pastors and churches are in the unique position of being able
to lead our people to a revival of honesty and integrity. -
Good grief! Our government
is even selling our own infrastructure to foreign powers. -
However, it would first require that they step
away from their own infatuation and preoccupation with money and power
long enough to see the handwriting themselves. That they refuse to do
so is another sign that the handwriting is already on the wall. -
I continue
to support Ron Paul, although I believe the only way he can effectively
bring his revolution to the forefront of America is to seek the Presidency
via a third party ticket. -
Otherwise, it is just another sign that the handwriting is already on
the wall. -
The Republican
Party is too corrupt, too sympathetic to New World Order ideologues to
allow principled patriots such as Ron Paul to obtain the nomination. -
The handwriting
is there as plain as day in letters large enough that even a blind man
can read them. -
See how
our government is selling America's financial interests--not to mention
our security interests--to foreign powers. -
They
were all supporting establishment neocons Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee,
John McCain, or even Rudy Giuliani.
