Will We Be Maccabees Or Victims

This article is a late Chanukah article for Christians in view of their impending disaster.

It is frustrating, since nothing in the churches or synagogues really changes. Some pastors in the US are beginning to wake up however. I am very impressed with pastor Butch Paugh and others who are calling for a real revolt against the government of self destruction. Many, like the Alex Jones and Dr. Stan Montief, have been fighting for many years.

In the early days of this battle, when pastors would talk like Rabin when in effect they would preach "to spin like propellers," meaning to go along. It seemed that nothing would work.

Eventually we developed the somewhat carnal philosophy that the "Leftist traitors could kick us in the b**ls but they could not stop us from screaming.

We have been screaming for a long time. When will the REVOLT come? Dan Nimrod of the Freeman Center once said that "dreke doesn't explode." And Harry W. Freeman, despite his dedication to equal rights and social justice, once explained that politically the "masses are asses."

So what are we left with? We must not despair. We must rise up and seize what rightfully belongs to each American. The Land of America and its public lands are not the property of a Left wing oligarchy, the Vatican, the EU, the US government or pagans. It belongs to us "in perpetuity."

Let us remember that "Jews in their own land, with their G-d, have great power, much more than the sum of arms and men. During Chanukah we should recall the legacy of the Maccabees.

Remember how two "Hellenized Jews," Jason and Menelaus tried to destroy Judaism and force assimilation on the Jewish population. For generations we have taught our children about the evil Antiochus and his attempt to suppress the Jews. In reality, there were traitors among our own people who led the way for Antiochus."

There arose in America and Israel, a similar situation recently when American politicians and bureaucrats led by a leftwing coalition, made international agreements that was blatantly hostile to everything American, Christian, or Jewish.

The Agenda 21, NAFTA, and NAU accords surrender vast tracts of US the heartland to be depopulated, sold, and ceded to foreign interests. Likewise, the Oslo Accords surrendered the heartland of Eretz Yisrael to be depopulated, sold, and ceded to hostile interests.

The educational system was revamped to eliminate the study of Jewish sources like the bible. They cultivated hatred of all things Jewish like a rabbi named Jesus, a process started by the Vatican at Nicaea in 325, and especially a hatred of religious Jews.

Anti-religious discrimination laws had the perverse effect of preferring unfaithful men in "law enforcement" who would obey any order without conscious or higher loyalty. Orders that inevitably must include evicting landowners under imminent domain or environmental laws. In the Israel Defense Forces men were recruited from the non-religious population for the sole purpose of suppressing and possibly destroying the religious villages of YESHA. Judea and Samaria.

Extreme leftists, anxious like Jason and the Greeks, planned to give away America's strategic assets. Territory is not important if your new god is economics. While the American government courts renounced anything biblical.

There is a simple but crucial lesson for us all in the above events. If we as Jews and Christians turn our backs on our religion and our G-d, we can expect disaster.

Like Judah Maccabee, angered by the treason of Jason and Menelaus, and outraged by Antiochus, we must revolt against the government. We must fill the streets and jails with protesters. City after city must be shut down. Victory will not fall into our lap. It must be fought for and won. We must demonstrate that the strength of our will and the power of our belief can not be defeated.

Let us be Maccabees again. Let us go into battle with the Maccabee cry, "All who are with G-d, follow me!" With the words: "Who is like unto Thee O G-d (the acronym of which spells out he word Maccabee in Hebrew) inscribed on their flags, the G-d inspired Jewish army swept the much larger enemy from the field in a great victory. It is this victory for which we celebrate Chanukah and not just the miracle of the oil burning eight days.
