Believing Bible Study in the 21st century
The Perfect Government
Psalms 12:6-7 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."
1 Thessalonians 2:13 "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."

Preface:
Since 1973, I have had but
one mission … to bring honor and glory to my
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I will be with
them who will say: “Blessing, and honour, and
glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth
upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and
ever.” [Revelation 5:13b]
Over the years I have written
books. Here are eight books
written for those who live in the 21st century:
1. Messages from The Messenger
This book has thirty-one
"end of the age" messages for the 21st century
believer in Jesus Christ.
This book came from the studies
in the Gospel according to John taught at Old Paths
Baptist Mission.
This book came from the studies
in the First Epistle of Peter taught at Old Paths
Baptist Mission.
This book came from the studies
in the Old Testament book of Micah taught at Old
Paths Baptist Mission.
5. The Things Revealed
Belong Unto Us
It was my intention to place
into this book the things that belong unto us,
but we have refused to accept and to obey.
6. Thy Kingdom Come
In this book are the things
that are future and will come to pass.
7. The Great Global Cooling
In these times, which we all
live in, we see a great global cooling
phenomenon occurring right before our very eyes.
We might even say: These times are the times of
the great freeze.
Now we come to the eighth
book.
8. The Perfect Government
Psalm 50:22-23
“Now consider this, ye that
forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and
there be none to deliver. Whoso offereth praise
glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his
conversation aright will I shew the salvation
of God. “
This message is written to
those who have forgotten God.
Preface:
We begin here.
In 1892, the Supreme Court
decision in
Church Of The Holy Trinity v. United
States stated that "We are emphatically a
Christian nation."
From our nation’s birth right
up to 1947, our Supreme Court had steadfastly
maintained that the intent of the
"founding fathers" of the United States of
America was to preserve its Christian principles
imbedded in the government of the people in
order to perpetuate its existence as a nation.
In 1947, the Supreme Court, in
Everson v. Board of Education, totally
departed from the context of Thomas Jefferson's
reference to a "wall of separation between church
and state" … in his letter to the Danbury
Baptist Association of January 1, 1802.
The letter was to express to
the Danbury Baptist Association that there was
nothing to fear with respect to the federal
government establishing a national church (or
a national denomination).
The 1947 decision, in essence,
declared that we were no longer a Christian
nation.
Since then, the Supreme Court
has over and over used this same phrase
"separation of church and state" to
surgically remove Jesus Christ from our
government and from our public schools … from
our nation.
Next: The Supreme Court, in
Engel v. Vitale, decided to remove
prayer to God in all the public schools
on June 25,1962. The goal
simply was to get God out of our public schools.
On June 17, 1963, in
Abington v. Schempp and Murray v. Curlett, the
Supreme Court outlawed Bible
reading in the public schools [without
regard to any historical or legal precedent].
In Dekalb v. DeSpain
[1967] the decision was not to allow the "Ten
Commandments" to be posted on the walls of the
public schools in all our land.
And if that was not enough, in
1980, with Stone v. Graham, the
Supreme Court decided that the word of God
could not even be mentioned in a public
school.
This downward spiral
occurred in the span of my life time, and has
adversely affected my generation and several
generations to follow.
Thus, the first twenty-three
years of my life, I have counted as wasted,
because I was without God and without
hope in this world.
I joined the United States Navy
in January, 1971. I was to find out how far
downward I could go.
These were to be the latter
years of our nation's conflict in Vietnam. The
moral decay of the 1960's was taking its
toll.
I became agnostic and
HATED GOD! I was a remote follower of
Nostradamus.
I was an adherent of the
"New Age" before there was a "New Age"
movement.
Then it happened!!!
Through the witness of a
sailor I put my trust in the Son of God …
Jesus Christ. I got saved!
“For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.” [Romans
10:10]
What happened to me can
happen to you!
Romans 10:13: “For whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved.”
Preface
What is a founding father? 
A founding father is this. He is one who is involved in the setting of the foundation of a structure.
This foundation is the
essential basis, and it is the critical
piece in determining the very integrity
of a structure.
The act of foundation building involves the act of setting the basis for something.
I. The Beginning of the
Nations - II. The Kingdom Babel
After the Flood man began to
multiply in obedience to the command to Noah::
“And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth
abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.””
[Genesis 9:7]]
Whenever the operation ofWhenever the operation of multiplying appears there will also follow a need for division.
The most powerful of the Gentile world kingdoms, “the glory of kingdoms”, was Babylon under her successive kings: Baladan, Merodachbaladan, and Nebuchadrezzar.
Though powerful and glorious their idolatry will bring them to their end: “And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.” [Isaiah 13:19]IV. The Precursor to the
Kingdom of Heaven on Earth
Why is this judgment [and more] coming to the people of this earth?
Here is the problem: SIN..
Specifically here, it is the sin of coming together: GlobalismSpecifically here, it is the sin of coming together: Globalism
Now, Louis the Great was so
enamored with himself that he truly envisioned
himself a sun king.
This sun king stated
“L’État, c’est moi” (“I am the State”).
VI. The United States of
America
The people who came to the
North American continent in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries were looking for something
different than the monarchical government … a
king in a kingdom.
They were terrified also
of both these: an aristocracy [or
oligarchy] and a democracy.
The oligarchical form of
government always degenerates into MOB RULE!
All the messengers
of God, all the prophets of God, and all the
words of God have “cried out”
[Zechariah 7:7, 13]
this message of the
Kingdom of Heaven to occur at the Second Advent
of Jesus Christ.
In no uncertain terms,
first to Israel, and then, to all the world, and men
everywhere, and all of this was prophesied
400 years before the time of the First
Advent of Jesus Christ.
