HOW LONG DO WE HAVE? Answer to an email
HOW LONG DO WE HAVE?
This is one of the most interesting things I’ve read in a long time. The sad thing about it, you can see it coming.
I have always heard about this democracy countdown. It is interesting to see it in print. God help us, not that we deserve it.
How Long Do We Have?
About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
‘A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.’
‘A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.’
‘From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.’
‘The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years’
‘During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to complacency;
6. from complacency to apathy;
7. from apathy to dependence;
8. from dependence back into bondage’
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: ‘In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...’ Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the ’complacency and apathy’ phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation’s population already having reached the ‘governmental dependency’ phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal’s and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message. If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.
From David Burdick:
Hello folks,
The shift from apathy to national dependence can be a rapid one, and then even quicker the shift to bondage. And as the Bible reveals it, the bondage will be worse than Nazi Germany experienced. It will be religious bondage of the worst sort, it will be papal bondage which will rise up out of the rubble it has brought the world down to.
This happened at the fall of the Roman Empire, and it is already happening again. Patriotism is good when it stands for real freedoms. But when a nation becomes hoodwinked into uniting religious doctrine with state affairs, it will be patriotic for a despotism that comes in sheep’s clothing.
I’m a Christian. Let the church deal in the work of the divine law of faith and love. I am a citizen and a veteran. Let the state deal in civil law and law enforcement. Its the only safe course to follow. And if the church has failed, let it own up to their failure, and not blame the government for their fall from grace.
When the church is honest with its own weakness and disloyalty with its heaven-sent charge, then they will see a transformation happen in their own midst. But let it never involve itself in political affairs. And let the state never involve itself in holy affairs.
Let the geo-religio-political Papacy continue to muddle the issues of religion in government; let it continue in its bold moves to inspire the Protestants themselves to destroy their own privileged heritage of liberty; let America call itself a Christian nation, and the United States will unite church and state, and be transfigured into an indescribable machine of callous ruthlessness and brutality on a par that the Dark Ages never saw.
“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” (Matt. 24:21).
Love in Christ,
David
