They Can See It

We often point out the contrast between what the world values against what our faith values.

It’s a huge difference. We view reality from the heart, and what really matters to us is simply not visible to anyone relying on their senses and logic. Yet despite the vast difference, the world can see at least some of what we cling to; there is some overlap.

The world can grasp our sense of bliss in those moments when the Lord provides some promised blessing. Folks around us can understand that there are some things worth dying for, even if they reject our different choices. On at least some theoretical level, they can understand our rejection of politics. They can get our refusal of the activist way of addressing human needs.

Most of all, the world can understand a commitment in faith. They know what it means instinctively. They can grasp that we are driven by a conviction that makes it possible for us to push through impossible odds. They might struggle to understand how we can be at peace with what appears to be failure, but they aren’t so foreign to the idea that peace can be found in trying to do the right thing, regardless of outcomes.

This is what’s behind Deuteronomy 30:11-14 and the quote in Romans 10:6-10. We are designed to understand faith even when our minds are closed to our hearts. There really is no excuse when we stand before God in that final Day of Judgment.

Understand that they may reject our message, but any claim that they just don’t get it is false. This is why our testimony of visible faith works; it is sufficient as God’s plan for revealing Himself. He is just in all His ways.

Otherworldly Mission

This life — this prison of fallen existence — is not precious. It’s consumable, disposable. What truly matters is the Father’s glory and death is our friend. There is no sting in death because it’s our final victory over our sinful natures. What follows is indescribable, but the parabolic language has the obvious meaning that we’ll be in the Presence of the Lord as a family member to face eternity in what Jesus on the Cross called “paradise.”

It’s not that we serve our time, but that we serve our purpose. Sure, it’s possible to fail so badly He decides to bring you home early to prevent further damage to His plans. It doesn’t change where you end up, but you sure do miss out on a lot of blessings.

Endure, brothers and sisters. In 2 Corinthians 1 Paul warned his readers that if we plunge into a life spent in pursuit of His truth, it means tribulation. Worse, it’s tribulation that the blinded world does not experience. The more we strive to serve Him and endure sorrow, the worse it gets.

What kind of reward is that? It’s the reward of grasping that human sorrow is part of the blessing. You have to redefine what you expect and what you call “good.” Biblical Law is its own reward, and you stop seeing sorrow as a bad experience. Instead, you rejoice that you were found worthy to enter the mission of Christ.

It was a bit of tribulation upgrading the tower from Xubuntu 16.04 to 18.04. But it’s working now and I’m looking forward to feature updates that should fix some of the nagging deficiencies. I think the new laptop will stay with 16.04 awhile until Dell comes up with firmware packages to match the newer version. That appears to be a function of when Dell’s techs get around to installing it as default on newer equipment.

I’ve restarted my heavy workout in the park. Of course, that means I’ve modified all the exercises that resemble the motion of a push-up. The right shoulder now makes quite a bit of noise, but after five months off, it hurts a lot less now. To be honest, my body missed the vigorous exercise. I strained a couple of muscles that haven’t been used to the challenge.

The Volvo is acting naughty. I went through the procedures for cleaning the mass airflow sensor (MAF) and the throttle body (ETM). They were very dirty and needed cleaning, but the improvement was marginal. It still runs with some hesitation, and seems to be “seeking” the proper RPM level at idle. It was bucking during hill climbs. There’s no way I can afford to replace the ETM; it’s hundreds of dollars plus requires a special computer to make the system accept the new part. If I can’t get it to smooth out, I can only drive it locally and that means no photography of distant landscapes.

On the other hand, the proliferation of new bike trails around the county is very heartening.

Standing in a Different Context — Epilogue

Not every conspiracy theory is wrong. But most conspiracies have failed to accomplish all the conspirators had hoped, so there’s a lot of confusion about them. What follows is my personal take on a few examples to indicate how we can use the teaching of this series to avoid the greatest conspiracy of all times: keeping believers away from their divine heritage.

JFK was murdered by CIA assassins. While a lot of folks assisted (like the FBI) for various different motives, the CIA ran the operation because JFK didn’t support them as much as they wanted. Consider the Bay of Pigs fiasco; they blamed JFK for that. The underlying motive was the rabid anticommunist obsession still with us today. It’s not that communism wasn’t a threat, but that no one bothered with a realistic assessment of communism.

9/11 was an inside job. It came very near to complete failure in its fundamental intent. A lot of awful stuff was done and the cover-up was transparent, so it comes down to grinding blatant lies told by government and the MSM. The public reaction was strong, but it didn’t yield the results the conspirators really wanted. They had to settle for a fragile thin cover over some of the crimes they hoped to hide in the process. The ongoing confusion about methods and whether an actual plane hit the Pentagon is part of and continuing effort to extract the last few possible advantages of such a horrific crime.

But it couldn’t be used to justify the full Which Path to Persia? conspiracy (see this for an explanation), only the part about invading Iraq. Now that, too, has failed. We have a strong skepticism about the ongoing US occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, plus more recently Syria. Whatever it once may have been, this whole thing is a thin veneer over Zionism. There are lots of folks on board because of the petroleum and other resources in the area, but the real goal is simple Zionism. Israel wants those countries weakened; no other motive matters.

Operation Northwoods was real, but the Report from Iron Mountain is another satire like the Geneva book by Joly. It’s accurate in a different sense. It echoes what government officials do instinctively behind the scenes as their general operating assumptions. It’s just another part of the failed dreams fed to people by the Devil.

At any rate, there will be more false flag operations here in the US, for sure, and likely elsewhere. But for now, I suspect Trump is unlikely to support using them, unlike Bush with 9/11. They’ll come up from inside the system, and this carries a different set of challenges. It affects what is possible and requires manipulating the POTUS in ways that may not work too well.

Please notice that this is running up against a whole raft of things already failing and breaking apart purely as a matter of the natural course of things. The US economy is mostly false front; the system could collapse any moment. The polarization of the public is well along, but the biggest problems are hard to see unless you approach it from a heart-led perspective. You can’t rely on history to indicate what the people will tolerate and what they won’t. You’ll hear a lot of noise on the Internet about what some folks imagine would be a breaking point, but it will be wrong. You’ll have to sense directly the hand of God, because He’s the only one who knows.

My point is that humans by their combined abilities cannot accurately assess how things work. They start out misled by the Devil, and cannot hope to succeed long term. Small conspiracies tend to work better, but the longings of the flesh don’t lend themselves to moderation. Satan seduces people into believing they can take it all. And God has revealed the certainty that He won’t allow that to happen according to their fantasies. It may appear that things come close to it, but the Lord will not allow things to deviate from His divine will. The Tower of Babel signals God’s sovereign will never to allow humans to unite around a single ideal. The only thing fallen men have in common is endless appetite for things that cannot satisfy; they can never agree on how to pursue those appetites.

Don’t fall for the Devil’s lies.

Teachings of Jesus — Matthew 12:38-50

We can easily see how most religions in this world seek to make converts. The adherents consider it their duty to share what they regard as the ultimate universal religion for all humanity. The Hebrew Scriptures are loaded with prophetic commands to live so as to demonstrate God’s revelation to the world, to expect that a miraculous life of shalom would see the world beating a path to the doors of the Temple. But the prophetic messages also warned this would not work if the nation was not consistent in their faithfulness.

Israel failed this mission. They were too busy scrabbling for what they felt God owed them to worry about enlightening the Gentiles. And it didn’t wait until Jesus’ day to consider it treason to bear the message to foreigners. The prophet Jonah refused God’s call to preach in the Assyrian capital; he wanted them to die and go to Hell. In this, Jonah was typical of his nation. If anything, the Jewish leaders of Jesus’ day were even more hostile to the Gentiles. One of their false Messianic Expectations was seeing the Gentiles come submissively to be their slaves, bringing all the treasures of their nations with them as an offering to the Hebrew God. They were in no hurry to convert Gentiles and dilute their mythical inheritance.

So when yet another delegation of Pharisees came to Him asking to see one of His miracle signs so they could evaluate His claims, Jesus flatly refused. His generation was incapable of recognizing a genuine sign because they were morally degenerate and adulterous — another way of saying idolatrous, worshiping just about anything except Jehovah. Instead, He told them they would see no miracles until they understood the message of Jonah. They didn’t get to pick and choose upon whom God would have mercy; that was God’s prerogative alone.

And just as Jonah was three days and nights in the belly of the beast, so the Messiah would be three days and nights in the grave. Jonah was thrown into the sea as a ransom for those on the ship he had wrongly involved in his rebellion. Jesus would be thrown into the earth as a ransom for all of humanity. Like Jonah, Jesus would then return from His prison alive and prepared to spread His message in ways Jonah could not have imagined.

Jesus wasn’t shy about warning them. The Ninevites repented at the word of a foreign prophet; the Jews rejected the message of their own Messiah. The Queen of Sheba traveled far in her own discomfort without waiting for an invitation to meet with Solomon; the Jews couldn’t be bothered to recognize their new King born in their midst.

Then Jesus refers to something poorly understood in the modern West. Demons would occasionally leave their victims just to play with their minds. We saw it with Saul, for example, or the Gadarene Demoniac. When Jesus got involved, they were evicted permanently, but when the Pharisees claimed to have driven one out, it was likely just a case of short respite. They would recognize the situation Jesus described here, where a demon would leave, then come back with a vengeance. He was saying here that the Jewish leaders were still at the mercy of demons, unable to free themselves permanently because they had no moral authority in the first place. Bear in mind that walking faithfully in the Covenant is what kept demons out, and it was the failure of Jewish leadership to keep the Covenant that saw so many demons infesting Jewish people in the first place.

Apparently He was somewhere indoors during this exchange, because we see someone outside trying to get His attention. He was told it was His mother and siblings. In general terms, they did not follow His teaching, and certainly didn’t take seriously His claims to be Messiah. Jesus pointed to those inside the room who did follow Him. They couldn’t bring themselves to step inside, in an atmosphere where the presence of His disciples would prevent them treating Him as someone needing their guidance. Jesus said, “This is my real family. These are the people who are faithful to my Father in Heaven.”

Standing in a Different Context 05

The Antichrist in Scripture is a symbol, a demonic spirit that motivates people to be hostile to the gospel.

The failure of every big conspiracy theory is not taking the Bible seriously. These theories allege a higher intelligence and ability to organize and plot things with an inhuman precision and breadth of detail. This is inconsistent with what the Bible teaches. Whether a theory posits some superhuman intellect or nonhuman intelligence doesn’t matter; there simply is no such thing. There is only Satan, his demon hordes, and the poor lost souls who follow his guidance.

It’s the same lie from that sad day in the Garden of Eden, that human intelligence is capable of handling everything. The arrogance of human reason is unbounded, but the capabilities most certainly are constrained by God. Thus, it’s just as sinful when some conspiracy theorist alleges that he can detect with his own brilliance some nefarious master plot to rule the world. It’s all the same Satanic lie.

There is no human agency capable of pulling it off. Fallen humans are incapable of executing most of what they imagine. Every fictional plot is shot through with holes. So even if there are groups of people out there who imagine themselves brilliant enough to take over the world through some deep and devious plan, they are simply lying to themselves. And those who try to beat the game by insisting that the plotters are super-intelligent non-human aliens, it’s just side-stepping the Word of God. Creation itself is not fallen, only humans. If they are human, they are fallen. If they are not human, then they are not fallen and not evil.

The Devil does not control nature, only so many humans as submit to his lies. And not one of those humans has ever been capable of holding together a master plan across multiple generations without it all coming apart sooner or later. Nor will humans ever get any smarter; instead they are getting progressively more blinded and deceived as we move toward God’s final endpoint for this fallen existence.

Nobody has a valid master plan to rule the world. God will not permit it. That was one of the lessons from the Tower of Babel. What will continue to rule the world until Christ returns is a very intelligent Devil whose mission is to build false hopes and then destroy all the dreams of brain-led humans. Living by your reason and intellect guarantees failure. It is simply not possible to understand reality that way. It requires the heart-led consciousness.

And if your heart is not committed to serving God’s glory, then He’ll make sure it can’t lead you anywhere that matters. A great many people have demonstrated a level of insight into the mechanics of reality consistent with the heart-led perspective, but they didn’t bow the knee to their Creator, and so always were led astray about the ultimate meaning of things. A heart of darkness cannot know the truth of God’s Creation, which is reality.

With all the advancements of human technology, about the only thing we’ve accomplished is burning out our dreams, schemes and plans quicker than ever. Those dreams that drive fallen humanity ever forward are sourced in the Devil. The only super-human intelligence involved in such aspirations is his. And his hands are bound by God’s authority on his mission. He cannot work outside Biblical Law because that is God’s Law of reality itself.

So while a handful of Zionists dream of taking over the world, it will never happen. They’ll be driven down false paths because that’s the Devil’s job. The same goes with other globalist and imperialist plots. Humanity is nationalist by nature; it’s in our DNA. We cannot be made to cooperate with such plans by any amount of deception, manipulation and force. Reality itself will prevent it. Satan is not allowed to make it happen. Defying Biblical Law is defying reality and it simple will not work. So the likes of the Protocols looks like a plot that is working, but in the end it must fail. Zionism is a demonic spirit and will be around to the end of humanity, but Israel will last only as long as it serves its limited purpose.

Typical Western visions of Apocalypse are loaded with Satanic deception. John’s Revelation was meant to help us understand the nature of fallen mankind and precisely why no one can successfully oppose Biblical Law. John never expected anyone to take his prophecy as literal. It’s Hebrew mystical symbolism; it’s parable through and through.

Don’t buy into the lies. Learn to recognize the hand of the Devil, and distinguish it from the hand of God.

Photography: Luther and Wellston

In terms of photography, Luther’s claim to fame is the very large percentage of old buildings. The town sits on the southern ridge above the Deep Fork River and was built around a feed mill up against the railroad tracks. Just beyond the tracks is Route 66. So first up is this old storage shed out behind some historical structures on the main drag.

Where one of those buildings has disappeared, the city made it into a tiny historical park and erected a veterans’ memorial. For a feeble, tiny town it’s not too bad as a shrine to worship of the state.

This old abandoned house sits next to a lot that has recently seen some bulldozer action, but nothing else has been done with it. Given the lack of investment in keeping up these old structures, the whole street might see bulldozers in the next few years. I’m sure it was much nicer in the past.

It’s hard to tell if this one is still occupied, but it’s not collapsing yet. To be honest, there are a lot of old houses just barely standing with people living in them. The economy around this town has been depressed for quite some years. They do have nice new school buildings, but then lots of scandals have dogged their school system. Welcome to rural Oklahoma.

This one had cars parked along the other side, and a small herd of cats ranging across the back yard. It was obviously occupied and has seen a little work on the front side. I gather the city government isn’t too tough on mowing yards. I was limited by the sun being still yet rather low on the eastern horizon.

It was just a short drive to Wellston. I took the old Business Route 66 into town. I wanted to stop and get a nice shot of a lovely valley, but there was no safe place to stop or even pull off the road. Instead, I settled for this shot of a Route 66 themed business. Wellston’s old city center never had much, and there’s even less business these days. Most of Wellston’s business is out near the toll road entrance.

Back toward Luther, there’s a spot near the Deep Fork crossing where the original road bed once crossed a little north of the current bridge. The old concrete abutment on one side still stands complete. Just beyond and not visible is a spot where the river dug out a wide round pool with a slight drop over the bed rock. The map shows another like it about a half-mile downstream. They would have been popular spots for swimming in the old days.

The right half of this building is from the Route 66 heyday, and where I’m standing was once part of the original roadbed that ran up to that bridge. Now the spot is part of a gas station parking lot, with a building added on to the left that would have been right close to the pavement edge of the old Route 66. A chunk of that historic pavement was removed to accommodate the underground fuel tanks. I’m sure they never gave it much thought at the time, and were just glad the new highway took a flatter pass through the valley. Now all the leftovers from the original roadbed are painted with garish murals commemorating Route 66.

Standing in a Different Context 04

We can go back and trace how the Kazar Jews infiltrated Western Europe. Today we call them Ashkenazi.

A very famous member of their nation was Mayer Amschel Bauer, whose family eventually gained the nickname Rothschild and took it officially as their family name. After being apprenticed for awhile to a banker, Mayer eventually started dealing in rare coins and gained the attention of some nobles and royalty. He also built up a courier system that handled large money transfers with security and secrecy on behalf of his aristocratic clients. He enforced the same endogamy common among Jews since biblical times and instilled in his sons the will to infiltrate places of power at every opportunity. The family obsession with banking and related businesses arose from the simple fact Jews couldn’t legally own property. However, most of the wild tales about the Rothschilds are baloney.

Further, those wild tales of dark evil souls attempting to seize control of the world are simply not the point. The point is that the Devil is in control and uses anyone who serves his purpose. The Rothschilds behaved consistently with other Ashkenazi Jews, and were quite good at working around problems. Their influence slowly opened more and more doors. At the same time, they always faced some hatred simply for being different.

Remember Napoleon? He was partly influenced by the Rothschilds to put into his legal system a new level of freedom for Jews by reducing laws aimed specifically at restricting them. But did the Rothschilds love him for it? No, they funded some of the people who eventually defeated him. In London, one of the Rothschild sons used their advanced courier system to insure he got the word of how the battle turned out a day before any of the traders in stock exchange knew. He bought everything on the low knowing the prices would shoot up once the exchange got the official word of Wellington’s victory the next day. The Rothschilds were loyal only to themselves.

Most of my American readers are unlikely to know too much about the back and forth of the French Revolution, but at about the time of our Civil War, Napoleon III ruled France and he had learned a lot about espionage from Ashkenazi Jews like the Rothschilds. A very smart lawyer named Maurice Joly who opposed Napoleon III published a scathing critique of the ruler via an imaginary conversation in Hell between Machiavelli and Montesquieu. It’s referred to as the “Geneva book” because that’s where it was published in French. Joly was tossed in jail for it and very few copies of the book survived.

Joly’s brilliant work captures the essence of Western government. It’s more than just true to Machiavelli; it’s an accurate portrayal of the lies and secrecy that arose from a necessity of manipulating the population as the simplest path to ruling. Keep in mind that Napoleon III remained faithful to his progenitor’s policy of moving toward fair and equal treatment of Jews, while Joly appeared to be a Catholic loyalist. The Catholics of France maintained a prejudice against Jews, though some would argue it was well earned, given how often the Ashkenazi Jews had assisted in manipulating popes, bishops and creating tension with secular rulers, along with promoting the confiscation of Church properties. However, Joly’s work seems to offer no blame on the Jews for the sins of Napoleon III.

However, his book was borne somehow to Russia which was facing the early stages of its eventual Communist Revolution. Keep in mind that not all those Kazar Jews had left their ancient homeland in what was then western Russia. Russian Jews were generally in favor of communism, so it’s quite natural that people loyal to the czar were not friendly with Jews. As far as we can tell, someone in the imperial administration rewrote Joly’s book and made it sound like a Jewish plot to take over the world. You can read a really good, but rather long, explanation of the plagiarism. The shorter version is that, given the necessity of translating into Russian, and re-translating into English, the resulting book reads differently, but says the same thing as Joly’s with just a few additions. The resulting book is known as The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (get a free copy here).

So on the one hand, the Protocols is a fake. On the other hand, it started out as a very enlightened explanation of the lies and manipulation of Western governments, and remains a very accurate prediction of what we are seeing today. It looks very much like the behavior of the Rothschilds and the Zionists. So it really doesn’t matter if anyone espouses the book as their actual goals; this is where the Devil leads human governments. This is especially true of governments that embrace the Zionist cause and support Israel. The people involved in publishing the Protocols knew it was an accurate assessment and seized on the information, although some of it could as easily be said of themselves. It’s all the more accurate for any kind of globalist institution that aims to create a world government because this is a fair description of communist government agendas. We should skip the “Zion” part of the title and recognize the book for it’s accurate portrayal of governments in general.

Why do you suppose the Devil’s servants have tried so hard to discredit that book?

Folks, if we are going to take seriously our claims in the Radix Fidem covenant, it means building a set of mental reflexes based on the assumptions that arise from our faith. The Devil is a real person without a fleshly form, working invisibly and creating the false impression that his servants are such brilliant, evil, well-organized conspirators. The vast majority of humanity serve Satan quite well just by staying inside their heads and keeping their hearts silent and dark. Eventually he will devour all their lives and their dreams will come to nothing.

It’s not about organizing humanity under some demonic one world government; it’s nothing more than keeping them away from their divine heritage. Everything else is just background.

Standing in a Different Context 03

Zionism is another face of The Cult [PDF].

We can blame the Zionists for the confusion about what it means to be a Jew. There are apparently three meanings. (1) Religious Jews are under the Talmud, which is a pact with the Devil. It makes them his feudal property, his special possession in all the earth. (2) Ethnic Jews don’t actually exist; virtually everyone claiming Jewish ethnicity is actually Kazar. Attempts to establish the presence of Semitic DNA so far have been fake, proving nothing. (3) Zionism is a political movement that promotes the modern state of Israel, claims to represent all Jews, and includes a lot other non-Jewish folks who serve the political agenda.

Zionism is a murky thing, even for the folks who embrace it. There is no particular need to see it as a big, precise and monolithic plan by a bunch of cognizant zealots; it is a face of the Cult and is managed by Satan himself. It appears to be a plan having to do with making the Jews dominant over all Gentiles. There is a considerable wealth of documentation that says as much, quite openly.

However, the underlying conspiracy is not in the minds of men, but in the hands of Satan working in those minds. This is the broken shards of what’s left of the Covenant of Moses and all the promises that rest on it. Judaism has trashed the divine mission and still holds to the delusion of Messianic Expectations of world dominance. Not every member shares the same detailed vision, but the actions of Zionists together aim in that direction as a whole. Thus, it’s perfectly fair to allege Zionists in general hold certain motives that various individuals can deny.

This is the nasty trick behind denying that there is a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world. The designated leaders at the helm of official Zionist organizations can deny the intent for just about everything Zionism ends up doing. They act is if we are blaming all Jews for being Zionist thugs, when we’ve been careful to avoid saying that. In particular, we as mystics have disavowed all political action in the first place. We don’t intend to stop the Zionists in their plots; we do intend to point out the plots just so folks can see clearly what’s at work. We want people to watch it happen and see the hand of Satan doing what God has authorized him to do.

That authorization includes using the clannish loyalty and truculent refusal of Jewish people to assimilate. There is zero justification for this in biblical terms. They had a direct line to God; they were enlightened and they had a taste of the powers of the Age to Come (Hebrews 6:4-6), and they put God to an open shame by rejecting His Son. The Bible says they have three basic options: adhere to the Covenant as Jesus taught it, assimilate into the Gentile nations, or work for the Devil. There will always be a significant number of Jews who take the third path. There will always be Jews who lend themselves to the most insufferable provocations of the rest of humanity.

In their own minds, they are simply claiming their divine heritage, so while their conscious plot is some form of taking over the world, it will never happen. Instead, Satan will use them to maximize human suffering for themselves as well as everyone else. Thus, we can honestly say that the true agenda of modern Israel is crapping on everyone else in the world. Whatever the Zionist government of Israel wants is guaranteed bad news for everyone alive on planet earth. That’s her mission in Satan’s domain.

Having rejected Christ, the Jewish nation promptly began working toward revolting against Rome. Within a generation this bore fruit in a revolt that saw Jews kicked out of Jerusalem and forbidden to return. Over the next century it kept getting worse and worse until Jews were expelled from most of their homeland. They have never ceased plotting a return.

Over the following centuries Judaism continued to drift in the same crazy direction. These activist Jews developed intrigue and manipulation into a high art, as if it were a noble gift from God. At one point a group of rabbis managed to seduce the entire kingdom of the Kazars, who were forcibly converted en masse by their king. These people were easily more obnoxious as Jews than their mentors. Eventually their kingdom was militarily defeated and they were politically assimilated, but the Kazars simply shifted to another means of competition. They maintained the clannish arrogance of the Diaspora Jews. On top of the conniving chutzpah of seeking to subdue the world by stealth, the Jewish Kazars added a spiteful vengeance that would never be satisfied by anything less than the most degrading enslavement of Gentile humanity.

And while the original ethnic Semitic Jews faded from history, today the Western world is heavily salted with Kazar Jews. There is almost no such thing as a Jew today who isn’t Kazar. Naturally, this is officially denied. Still, this has forever changed the character of what we know as Judaism and Jewish people. The lore of their hopes and dreams bears only a superficial resemblance to the Jews of Jesus’ day. The reason Jews have such a difficult existence in this world is because they are Kazar Jews, and the Kazar people have seldom had any friends for very long. They make themselves the enemy of everyone. These are the people who gave us today’s Zionism.

Zionism is thrice removed from biblical Hebrew religion.

Standing in a Different Context 02

Review the narrative of Joseph in Genesis 37-50. You’ll recall a major figure named Potiphar, Pharaoh’s jailer. Notice the position he holds in the Egyptian imperial administration. This is a critical element in Ancient Near Eastern (ANE) feudalism. The point at which a local clan chief becomes important is when his domain is big enough to justify designating someone as his jailer. It’s quite likely Abraham had someone in his household who served in this noble position. Among his three most powerful noble allies, one was always the jailer.

Scripture depicts Satan as God’s jailer in that sense. Not in line for the throne, he is certainly one of three most powerful angelic beings (so-called “archangels”). He receives from his Master prisoners he can use as slaves in his own limited feudal domain. He is expected to keep up this duty by taking profit from the labor of his captives. While we can’t possibly imagine how Satan profits from it, we know his mission is to deprive us of our divine heritage of shalom. It isn’t just punishment for sin, but enslavement to the false impulses of sin.

This is radically different from the Western image of the Devil. The Western view is the net result of mixed influences, but is rooted largely in ancient Germanic mythology. In broad general terms, he is pictured as the mischievous younger brother of the favored heir in the pantheon of pagan deities. The rules are shadowy and can’t be trusted to keep him place, and he often asserts some form of equal claim to divine authority, hindering his favored elder brother from ever quite accomplishing much. Perhaps somewhere down the road it will break out into full civil war and only when the father figure gets off his lead ass and takes final action will this be over.

The latter paganized image is the foundation of Western Christian beliefs about the Devil. Even when Western Christian teaching cites Scripture for doctrine, the underlying assumptions always seem to conform with this latter viewpoint. Thus, there remains a broad and instinctive deception about how the Devil does things, which serves to keep people in his grasp.

In Radix Fidem we make much of personifying the Devil as he really is. He’s not some malevolent impersonal force, as we see behind all the horror movies, but a very distinct personality we can learn to recognize, and we can learn how to spot his deceptions so as to avoid falling under his dominion. This whole business of the Fall is summed up in accepting his lie about whether we can trust our human reason to discern good and evil. In essence, the Forbidden Fruit is usurping the heart with intellect in the human soul. God speaks directly through the heart; human reason unbound will contradict the voice of God. The human reason instinctively pulls away from personification of moral forces.

So in our teaching, the drama of human affairs on the earth includes a major figure guiding much of the action, but most of humanity appears utterly blind to his presence and unable to assess his influence.

Thus, in my paper on The Cult [PDF], I reassert the Devil and his demons as distinct personal influences keeping alive a conspiracy of dehumanizing tyranny. It does not require a witting conspiracy of individual human persons, only that we understand how demons use them. It’s not necessary to allege that there are people who consciously join a covenant of evil, but we can characterize this thing as a cult run by demons, holding in thrall a number of people who will act the same as if they did. It’s not so much about the people as the influence of demonic beings.

The pertinent point here is that Satan is now the god of the Jews. Not that they knowingly worship Satan, but they certainly aren’t worshiping the one true God of the Bible. Unless they bow the knee to Christ, their religion is one huge lie. They long ago traded the mystical Covenant of Moses for a cerebral legalism that makes a deity of their reason. Meanwhile, in truth the Covenant of Moses was subsumed under the Covenant of Christ. The Jewish religion is a captive of Satan.

And characteristic of this captivity is a high degree of savvy about certain limited aspects of human nature. Their original purpose and calling under the Covenant has been perverted in something truly sinister. Granted, not everyone involved in Jewish religion is like that. Rather, the influence of the religion over people who cling to it so tightly produces a cadre of willing Satanic servants who can be characterized as The Cult. Judaism is not The Cult; Judaism is the mask behind which this cult hides.

Wherever you find the Cult at work, you will always find a few Jewish folks playing key roles, regardless of how conscious they are of their role.
