him at a time when he was "perfect in all his ways . . . till
iniquity was found in him." (Ezek. 28). In Ephesians "we wrestle
not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places." (Eph. 6:12). Now we do
not primarily have to struggle against these wicked spirits (Satan
and his demons) direct, because they are spirit and invisible
to human eyes. But they SWAY, influence, and direct the spiritual
wickedness "in high places," precisely as is happening in our
own case. These demonic invisible powers of Satan SWAY and Lead
those in high places in human government! Nevertheless, this
Scripture does tell us, speaking about our several individual
lives to "BE SUBJECT UNTO" these higher powers OF MEN, even though
elsewhere God shows they are powers of "THIS EVIL WORLD," and
deceived and misled by Satan. But "be subject unto" does not
always mean OBEY. When it would be a matter of DISOBEYING GOD,
we are to obey God, and still be "subject to" whatever punishment
the powers of man inflict.
There can be NO power, of ANY government, except what God
allows. This passage is instruction to us in our INDIVIDUAL PERSONAL
LIFE! And our people indeed are a law-abiding, patriotic people.
If man's law says drive with a speed limit of 55, we hold it down
to 55.
BUT THIS WAS AN ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT MATTER. This action
of the State was not a LAW over us universally and individually.--
IT WAS AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL SEPARATE ACTION AGAINST GOD'S CHURCH.
It came without proof or evidence of wrongdoing. If it had,
they would have arrested Mr. Stanley Rader and myself and brought
us to trial--IF there had been evidence or PROOF against us.
Instead, they brought a "Class Action" against the whole CHURCH,
to seize our records IN ORDER TO TRY TO FIND SOME EVIDENCE for
which they could prosecute us on criminal charges. We know, of
course, there is no such proof, for no criminal acts have occurred!
This present case does not come under the meaning of Romans
13:1-7--and the passage ends saying: "Render therefore to all
their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom;
fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor" (Verse 7). This ties
in with Jesus' statement, "Render unto Caesar the things that
are Caesar's, and unto GOD, the things that are God's.
The CHURCH of the Living GOD is NOT Caesar's, but GOD'S,
and we DO REFUSE WILLINGLY TO RENDER GOD'S CHURCH AND WORK OVER
TO AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND THEREFORE UNLAWFUL CAESAR!
I said in the beginning of this letter that this crisis is
THE VERY BEGINNING of fulfillment of END-TIME PROPHECIES! Now
let me explain some AMAZING PROPHECIES, FORETELLING THIS VERY
PRESENT BATTLE!
This present crisis is the very START of END-TIME PROPHESIED
EVENTS! It will culminate in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ
in supreme POWER AND GLORY to RULE ALL NATIONS a thousand years--
and thereafter!
