What is the societal affect of this type of viewing?
"Violence [in the media] has increased 720% since 1982.11 " Surprise, surprise!! But, for anyone who watches news daily on TV, or read newspapers and/or magazines, understands that violence runs rampant in our society. Today, many people are afraid to go outside their homes after dark; many others are afraid to shop at Malls; many others are afraid of a home invasion; and, millions others buy the most sophisticated personal burglar alarm systems they can afford. American society has become the most violent in human history, and it is pouring into your home daily! And, what is the actual statistical increase? "American violence has increased over 300% since 1960." What does the Bible say about this issue? Can a person willingly expose himself to as much sin as he wants, without having to fear any bad recourse? "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption..." God knows the workings of the human mind better than we do, and He warned that, just as corn seed only produces corn, and as wheat seed only produces wheat, so also will corruption only produce corruption. Exposure to sin will only result in such a hardening of a person's heart and mind and soul, that an increase in sin will be the only possible result. To have it any other way will only "mock" God, which is something He will never, ever tolerate. Do not be deceived.
"Both children and adults have difficulty distinguishing between reality and illusion after continued, long-term exposure to TV and movies." This is one of the basic reasons America today is suffering from such an explosion of violence and crime. People have lost the capacity to be restrained from within by a conscience guided by Godly principles. And the youth are the most easily impacted.
A new type of criminal offender began to be identified in the late 1970's, the "child murderer who feels no remorse for his crimes".12 Now, twenty years later, this criminal is responsible for much crime in America today, and his offspring are even more violent than he was in the 1970's. Police officials are terrified about the potential for a tremendous increase in violent crimes by the year 2,000, when this new type of young criminal begins to turn 20 years old, and has the strength and mental prowess that comes with this age.
One of the greatest new phenomena facing American society today is crime against women. Every time you open the paper, it seems, you are seeing this type of crime reported. Since this is the era of the Feminist, it seems surprising that this type of crime should be on the increase. Why are our young men so mistreating our young women? Consider the appropriate statistic: "Murder, rape, and assault are over 300% higher than any previous generation." What are young men doing in this generation to prepare them to mistreat women at an unprecedented rate, that no other generations of men in the past have done? "Sexual Violence is now very popular in music and movies. Definition: The false message that women enjoy violence and pain during sex and that they are less than equal to men in societal value. Terror and slasher films typically depict sexual relationships in this kind of situation." 13 "Some MILD examples of movie sexual violence:
But, nothing happens in a vacuum, and neither is this horrible situation. The world is entering into the coming New World Order. The Plan for this coming system calls for the forcible reduction in world population by two-thirds, in only a few years. The Plan calls for human beings to be forcibly rooted out of their homes, to be resettled in a farming economy common three hundred years ago. The Plan calls for death for anyone who does not wish to comply with any of the decrees of the new rulers. The Plan calls for a Holocaust that will absolutely dwarf the Holocaust of Adolf Hitler. Hitler's Holocaust killed almost 20 million people in seven years [1938-1945]; the New World Order Plan calls for the murder of two-thirds of all mankind in seven years, which will total 4 billion people.
Obviously, this New World Order Plan will require the willing participation of tens of millions of young men as the executioners, and the willing acquiesce of many more millions of people, who will know what is going on, but will be able and willing, to turn their eyes away. I encourage you to read a book which documents this type of situation, in Hitler's Germany from the late 1920's to 1945. The author does a masterful job of showing how this type of hardening occurred amongst the German youth, who later pulled the trigger during the Holocaust, and amongst the general German population, who turned their eyes away from general knowledge of the carnage occurring in their midst. This book is entitled, "Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans And The Holocaust", by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1966, ISBN:0-679-44695-8. Read this book, and you will be able to see so many instances in which American society is traveling this same path which Germany trod, only 60 years ago. And, you will understand how 'ordinary' Americans can participate in the coming unprecedented Holocaust.
This 'mother', Brenda Drummond, represents the kind of young person who is so hardened mentally and spiritually that she would not hesitate to pull the trigger in a Holocaust. I personally think there are several million of such people in Canada and the United States today. That is a large enough number to stage the planned Holocaust. But, there are many more millions young people that, though they might not be so hardened that they would willingly act as Brenda did, they might be willing to pull the trigger if the Government above them brought a great degree of pressure, backed by threats, if they did not cooperate. And, there are tens of millions of other people who are just hardened enough that they would turn their eyes away from the planned Holocaust. Even though they would not personally kill anyone, they would complacently react when they discovered that just such a Holocaust was occurring within their country. This was the situation in Nazi Germany that allowed Hitler to stage his Holocaust, and I believe we have just such a situation in America today. Just in time for the planned New World Order!
And, you know, God predicted this would be the situation amongst the young people living in the End of the Age. In 2 Timothy 3:1-5, the Apostle Paul foretold, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy; Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good; Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
Doesn't this passage describe our young people today? 1) "lovers of their own selves" -- Brenda would not have committed her crime had she not loved herself so much. We see this type of intense personal selfishness everywhere today 2) "covetous" -- How many people do we know today that are terribly caught up in a love of material possessions our society provides? 3) "boasters, proud, blasphemers" -- These personal characteristics go together, don't they? How many conversations have you had to endure in your job, or with friends, where they brag on and on about themselves, and sprinkle their conversation with blasphemy against God and His Son, Jesus Christ? 4) "disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy" -- Again, these characteristics usually abound in the individual involved. Young people today are the most demanding, the most ungrateful toward parents who have given them most everything they ever wanted. And, coupled with this disobedience, and unthankfulness, is unholy living. 5) "Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good" -- Again, these personal characteristics usually go together in the person infected with this disease of the heart. Brenda Drummond could kill her unborn infant only because she was "without natural affection". And, these type of people so despise those who are good, that they will turn on such people to attack them, either verbally or physically.
Doesn't this Scripture speak volumes about the times in which we live? Too many of our young people today fit this description perfectly. This is one of the reasons I know we are living in the Last Days.
In this article, above, about the destructive nature of video games, we will allow Senator Joseph Lieberman, of Connecticut, to have the last word. As you read his comment, remember our discussion of the coming New World Order, and how this system is going to have access to several millions of young people who will pull the trigger in the planned Holocaust. Senator Lieberman said, "Every holiday season, we see lists of toys that can harm children physically. We're here to talk about toys that can harm out kid's minds ... The gift these products give is to communicate the unadulterated message that killing is cool and viciousness is a virtue." Isn't this type of training exactly what would be necessary for the New World Order system to instill in their army, in the individuals who will actually do the killing in the coming Holocaust? Do not be deceived; our children are the targets, because they will be in the army of the coming Antichrist.
What can Christian parents do to protect their precious children against this terrible onslaught? Action is both possible, and not terribly difficult, once the parents shift gears mentally. We must first change our attitudes on several fronts: 1) We must recognize that we are engaged in spiritual warfare on an unprecedented level. The only way we can successfully wage spiritual warfare is to be right with God, which means being Born Again through Jesus Christ, and then living lives of obedience to Him. 2) Once we have accomplished this, we must spend time every day in meaningful prayer to God, holding up our children to God, by specific name. 3) We must make the economic choices necessary to further protect our children. Our children need to have a parent home with them, for close supervision and correction; our children need to be kept out of public schools at all costs, for it is the Plan that public schools will, simultaneously, not teach the basics of education, while indoctrinating our children to be good New World Order citizens. To achieve this, you may have to change your standard of living sufficiently so that you can afford to make it on one job, to pay for private schooling, or even to home school.
Too many Christian parents today love this present world system just as much as do non-Christian parents. Christian parents today struggle under the same load of debt under which others struggle. Too many Christian parents today so struggle against debt that they feel they can no longer tithe 10% of their net income, thus inviting God's punishment which He promised in Malachi 3:8-11.
Once we Christian parents get into right standing with God, we can begin to wage spiritual warfare on behalf of our kids. And, believe me, you will first struggle with your children, who will not want to give up their favorite Rock Music, or their favorite TV show, or movies, or practices. I became so convicted of the terrible influence TV was having on my family, especially my young teens, that I threw out a perfectly good 26" TV console. For the first three months, I was barraged with angry family members, who wanted their TV back. But, then, I noticed that significant changes were occurring with my children and my family. Children were fighting less, and cooperating more. Their level of anger seemed to dramatically decline. My children were reading more, having more quiet time with each other and with my wife and me. They struggled less about going to church, and were more interested in spiritual matters. Today, my youngest son has just completed 5 years of Christian college, studying to be a Senior Pastor. And, my youngest duaghter, is also Born Again, and is pursuing a career as a Registered Nurse. The other two children are not walking with the Lord yet, but are in our prayers constantly. I am convinced that, had we not taken the strong action we did, none of our children would be walking with the Lord.
My wife and I also confiscated hard Rock music we found in our eldest son's bedroom. We physically destroyed the tapes, and threatened to destroy his tape player if we ever discovered these type of tapes again.
The overall effect of our actions, plus daily prayer for them, was extremely positive. We recognized that we were facing unprecedented spiritual warfare, and we reacted accordingly. And, God blessed our efforts.
What is the situation in your family? Have you recognized any problems, described above, in your family? If you did, you must act quickly now. Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.
