blood and horror #1

“…The heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live…”
(Ecclesiastes 9.3)
 
Wherewith shall I come before the LORD,
and bow myself before the high God?
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good;
and what doth the LORD require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy God?
​(Micah 6.6, 8)

blood and horror (#1)

​“… the CEO of Raytheon, Greg Hayes, was discussing the escalation of the war in Yemen and Ukraine when he said, ‘I fully expect we’re going to see some benefit from it.’
 
“The Biden administration, ignoring its promises about Yemen from a year ago, is embracing the escalation of the war as they refuse to suspend any support to Saudi Arabia. Raytheon, a company that sees profits from the war in Yemen, gave President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign over half a million dollars in 2020.
 
“In early November of 2021, the Biden administration announced a massive arms sale of $650 million worth of medium-range missiles and missile rail launchers to Saudi Arabia. The primary contractor for these weapons is Raytheon” (“Biden’s Campaign Donors Don’t Want Him to End US Support for the Yemen War,” by Danaka Katovich, Truthout).
 
Knowing God’s plan to populate the earth with his children in hopes of advancing their character and intelligence sufficient to abide his presence eternally, Satan belligerently announced his own intentions to undermine and attack God’s plans by corrupting earth’s mortal inhabitants. One of the principle means by which he would corrupt the embryonic children of God and thus thwart their advancement would be as follows:   
 
“I will buy up armies and navies and reign with blood and horror on the earth” (Satan, LDS temple endowment).
 
This is one of what I call the dark teachings of the endowment; one of its many warnings concerning the nature of mortality.
 
Satan has been true to his word. While the technology used to shed blood and spread horror on the earth has changed and “evolved” over time, nations have consistently done Satan’s bidding. Unfortunately, the United States has been and is no exception. This recent report illustrates but one of the many examples of America’s contract with Satan as it assists him in undermining God’s work.
 
Upon Satan’s issuance of his threat, God cast him out of his presence. Would to God that America was so wise.
 
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
