The Unholy Seed - Part 29

DOES AMERICA HAVE THE BEST GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD?

Compiled from the sermon notes of Pastor Don Elmore

January 5, 2020

Scripture Reading:  2 Samuel 1:13-16:

13) “And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.

14) And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?

15) And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.

16) And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’s anointed.”

Who was the stranger that David had killed for testifying that he had slain King Saul, the LORD’s anointed? He was an Amalekite. Who was an Amalekite? He was a descendant of Amalek, grandson of Esau, who was part of the Canaanites. So, it was the descendant of Esau and the Canaanites who said that he murdered the LORD’s anointed—the king of Israel. Remember, this was something that the future king refused to do, even when he had the opportunity.

UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI The University of Cincinnati has caved in to the leftist again. This time it must take the name of one of its generous founders off the building of Arts and Sciences. The name that must be removed is McMicken. Why? For Charles McMicken was a slave holder. It is said that he had fathered children with one, or possibly two, women who were his slaves.

But what about Abraham Lincoln? He was a slave holder. Let’s take his name off buildings, highways and statues. Robert E. Lee freed his slaves before the War between the states. Why do we want to take his statues down? And the war was about slavery?

What about George Washington? Wasn’t he a slaveholder? Not all slaves were black. There were many white slaves, too. There were black slave owners also. There were almost 4000 free blacks that owned about 13,000 black and white slaves. In fact, the first slave owner in the United States was a black. But let’s not let the facts get in the way of the truth.

There is a street in Cincinnati that is named after the Cincinnati slave holder, too—McMicken Avenue. McMicken owned slaves in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In his will, McMicken stated that the land was intended upon his death in 1858 to create a college for “white boys and girls.” But that was in 1858 when the nation was following the Bible tenets a lot more that they are now.

This past week (Monday, December 23, 2019) Cincinnati Council member Jeff Pastor is advocating for McMicken Avenue to be renamed in the light of the University of Cincinnati’s Board of Trustees’ decision to remove the slaveholder’s name off its largest college. Charles McMicken’s donation of land to Cincinnati after his death was pivotal to the establishment of the University. Although the university never established any admissions policies concerning race, it was not until 1886 that Henry Malachi Griffin became the first African-American to graduate from the college.

Charles McMicken freed all his Louisiana slaves by a clause in his will and offered $100 (pre-civil war money) to any of them who agreed to emigrate to Africa.

But the next statement is what gets the leftists; McMicken set aside endowments and annuities for his nieces, nephews, and cousins, but nothing for his own children. He did this, although they do not mention it, because his own children were mixed-breeds. So, as a result, McMicken is disgraced and his name must be taken off the building on the University’s campus and the name of the street in Cincinnati must be changed to something else.

DE-CHURCHED EUROPE

The decay began in earnest in the 19th century with the de-Christianization of Europe known as the “Enlightenment”, which is the same period which was the opening of civil rights for Jews. Europeans have brought it upon themselves, forgetting what their LORD God commanded them—keep the Jews out of their land, like Britain had for over 360 years. Once they abandoned Christ, the whole house was swept clean and seven demons entered in just as Christ Himself warned.

But a de-churched Europe hasn’t a chance against the designs of Jewry such as the “multi-culturalization” of Europe and replacing Christianity with Holicaustianity. And besides, both European and American whites are killing off their “white” future by aborting their white babies. Abortion, contraception, the breakdown of traditional family and social life, has caused a demographic disaster for America, and especially white Americans, just as for Europe.

NANCY PELOSI’S SPEECH

And then there was Nancy Pelosi, as the speaker of the House, leading the House of Representatives in the Impeachment of the President, with a poster of a flag with the words printed that said, “To the republic for which is stands.”

She began her speech telling her audience about the importance of the pledge of allegiance which she repeated and emphasized the words in the middle of the pledge, “to the republic for which is stands”.

She then said some confusing things in her speech. For example, she said that America had formed a new government, a republic, starting with “We the people.” Then she said, “For centuries Americans have fought and died to defend democracy for the people. But, very sadly now, our founders’ vision of a republic is under threat from actions from the white house.”

And it wasn’t just the speaker of the House. It was many of the Democrats, when they spoke they said in one breathe that we were a republic and in another that we were a democracy. The two words were used interchangeably, and the meaning was the same.

But they are not interchangeable. Benjamin Rush (signor of the Declaration of Independence) said that “a democracy was the devil’s own government.” So, when Nancy Pelosi said that Americans have for centuries “fought and died to defend democracy for the people”, Benjamin Rush would say that Americans have fought and died to defend the devil’s own government for the people.

John Marshall, former supreme court judge, said “Between a republic and a democracy the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

Our government used to be a republic, but now it is a democracy. What changed? In the beginning, who could vote? Only white men who owned land and who were over 21 years old could vote; no other races, no women, no children.

Now, we are a democracy, because everyone is eligible to vote except felons and individuals under 18 years old. Senators used to be picked from the State legislatures not by popular vote. A lot has changed in the almost 2 ½ centuries our nation has been in operation.

ROYALTY CHART OF ENGLAND FROM HENRY VIII TILL QUEEN ANNE

“There’s nothing new under the sun.”

Henry VIII’s children ended the line of the Tudors. Would any woman, who is present here want to be the queen of England by being the husband of Henry VIII? Henry had two of his six wives beheaded; two of his marriages were annulled, one wife died in childbirth and one out-lived him. By the end of his days he was over 300 pounds, so heavy that he couldn’t ride a horse. In battle, he had his servants carry him in a type of carriage. He had sores on his legs, smelled and was very arrogant. But he was the king.

Thomas More college (Catholic) is just down the road from our church. Who was Thomas More? He lived during the time of Henry VIII. Thomas was against the Protestant Reformation; he hated the theology of Martin Luther, John Calvin and William Tyndale. Thomas also was opposed to Henry VIII’s separation from the Catholic Church, refusing to acknowledge Henry as the Supreme Head of the Church of England and his annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.

Thomas refused to attend the coronation of Henry VIII’s second wife, Anne Boleyn as the Queen of England. And this led to one thing after another, until he finally refused to take the oath of Supremacy. He was convicted of treason and executed. How was he executed? —he was beheaded. For his loyalty to the Pope and the Catholic Church, he was made a saint.

Henry VIII worried that his marriage to Catherine of Aragon produced him six children; but five died in infancy, there was only one daughter that remained. Henry petitioned Pope Clement VII, but was rebuffed due to pressure from Catherine’s nephew, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V.

One of Catherine’s sisters, Isabella of Aragon, was the eldest of heiress to the throne of Castile. Her parents conquered the remaining Muslim states in southern Spain. In a treaty with Portugal, she was given in marriage to Portugal’s King’s son, Don Afonso. However, their marriage would end after one year as Alfonso died in a horse-riding accident.

A distraught Isabella was convinced that her husband’s death was a sign of God’s displeasure that Portugal had become a sanctuary for the Jews her parents had expelled from Spain. She resorted to fasting and harsh penances, vowing to never marry again. 

She eventually returned to Spain, but in 1497 the King and Queen offered her hand to Manuel I, who had succeeded the throne in Portugal.  Isabella refused, however, as the question of the Jews in Portugal was still on the table. She would only marry Manuel if he would expel all Jews who would not convert to Christianity.  He did this and they married.

The king didn’t do this because the LORD God of Israel commands it, but because it was the condition of marriage. No wonder it wasn’t done correctly!

But back to Henry VIII. With the backing of the English parliament and clergy, Henry ultimately decided that he didn’t need the pope’s permission to rule on issues affecting the Church of England. So, he became the Supreme Leader of the Church of England—not the pope! And then the trouble began for England.

But first, did you notice that all six Stuart kings or queens married someone from another European country:

1. James I, from Scotland, married Anne of Denmark,

2. Charles I, son of James I, married Henrietta Maria of France,

3. Charles II, son of Charles I, married Catherina of Braganza, Portugal, and had no legitimate children.

4. James II, son of Charles I, married Modena of Italy,

5. Mary II, daughter of James II of Scotland/England, married William III of the Netherlands.

6. Anne, daughter of James II, married Prince George from Denmark. Had no children

It was during the time of the Stuarts that England ended the Monarchy—although it only lasted for 11 years. It ended with the death of Charles I (who was beheaded at the conclusion of the first civil war in Britain):

-  King James I

-  King Charles I

-  No ruling monarchy

-  Civil war between monarchy and Parliament — Parliament won

-  Parliament ruled

-  Monarchy abolished

The Parliament and the Royalty had gotten in such a disagreement that a civil war broke out. Religion was a part of this war, too. The Protestant Reformation was sweeping the European nations. Scotland was Presbyterian, England was Catholic and Protestant, depending on who was the king or queen. Ireland was mostly Catholic.

Who was the ruler? Who won the war? It was Parliament who won and was the ruler. For the first time ever, the king of England was tried and beheaded. But something else even more disturbing happened.

Exodus 23:33:  “They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against Me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.”

Who does the “they” and “their” that is in this verse refer to? According to verse 28, five verses preceding this one, it refers to the “Hivite, Canaanite, and Hittite.” Do these people still exist today? If they do exist today, does this Law of God still apply?

Esau, brother of Jacob, married women who were from the Hivite and Canaanite families, as well as one woman who was from Ishmael’s family. The Esauites, who married into the Hivite and Canaanite families have the poisonous blood of their father. The Jews claim that they are descended from Esau.

Now, notice it was not the Negroes who have this curse on them, or it was not all the Asiatics either. It was the Jews. So, the verse would read today, “Don’t let the Jew live in your land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, it will be a snare unto you.” Since we have the Jews living in our land, have we sinned against our God? Have we served their gods? Have the Jews become a snare unto us?

A LOOK AT MODERN BRITAIN

Let’s look at what is happening in Britain:

Sir Ehud Sheleg (born 1955) is an Israeli Jew who is currently Treasurer of the Conservative Party. He succeeded Sir Mick Davis, a Jew from South Africa, in 2019 and has openly admitted in the Jewish Chronicle that he puts Israel’s interests above those of any other country. And CFI? That’s Conservative Friends of Israel, described in the same Jewish Chronicle as “the biggest lobbying group in Westminster [i.e., British politics].”

Sajid Javid, Priti Patel and Boris Johnson perform at CFI.

PRINCE CHARLES PRAISES “SPECIAL AND PRECIOUS CONNECTION” BETWEEN JEWISH COMMUNITY AND THE CROWN

The Prince of Wales (Prince Charles) delivered this speech at a reception celebrating the Jewish community at Buckingham Palace.

“It is a great delight to welcome you this evening to Buckingham Palace, as the festival of Chanukah approaches, and to celebrate with you the contribution of our Jewish community to the health, wealth and happiness of the United Kingdom.

In every walk of life, in every field of endeavor, our nation could have had no more generous citizens, and no more faithful friends. That is why I am so glad to have this opportunity to say thank you, albeit in a small way, for all that you do, and have done, across the country, in major national and international institutions, and in local communities the length and breadth of the land.

I often describe the United Kingdom as a “community of communities”, which is enriched by the diversity of its constituent groups, and whose whole is so much greater than its parts. …

And it is why this time of year, which is so special to Christians and Jews alike, offered an ideal opportunity to arrange this evening’s celebration — because the importance of Unity through Diversity sits at the very heart of our values as a society. It defines what — and who — we are as a country.

The connection between the Crown and our Jewish Community is something special and precious. I say this from a particular and personal perspective because I have grown up being deeply touched by the fact that British synagogues [of satan] have, for centuries, remembered my Family in your weekly prayers. And as you remember my Family, so we too remember and celebrate you. …

In my own small way, I have sought to recognize the contribution of the Jewish community by various means, whether in attending or hosting receptions for the Kindertransport Association, or for Holocaust survivors, or attending events for the National Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, of which I am Patron, or helping to build a Jewish Community Centre in Krakow — where I was privileged to fix a mezuzah to the doorpost — or in agreeing without a moment’s hesitation to become Patron of World Jewish Relief.

If I may say so, Ladies and Gentlemen, I see this as the least I can do to try to repay, in some small way, the immense blessings the Jewish people have brought to this land and, indeed, to humanity. In the Hebrew Scriptures, which provide so much of the ethical underpinning of our society, we read in The Book of Deuteronomy, the inspiring exhortation: “Choose life!”

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Jewish community of the United Kingdom have fulfilled that divine command in countless ways, and our society has been immeasurably enriched as a result. Today, we have the opportunity to give thanks for the friendship we have forged, and the values we all share.” 

The Jewish Chronicle, December 6, 2019.

In fact, Jews have always made alliances with non-Jewish elites throughout history, continuing in the present age with figures like Boris Johnson and Prince Charles. This has repeatedly resulted in exploitation and betrayal of other segments of the population — most notably now the White working class.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION

Question: From which group, Royalty or Parliament, (from England), did most of the founding fathers of America come from in the 1600’s?

First, there was the civil war in England with the Protestant Parliament against the royalty of Catholic Charles I. With the defeat of Charles I, many of his followers departed to other parts of the English empire. Many fled to the colony of Virginia in America.

Who were some of these followers who became citizens of Virginia?

1. George Washington was descended from the royalty of Charles I.

2. George Mason was the descendant of a colonel who fought for Charles I.

3. James Madison was descended from a refugee of 1655.

4. James Monroe was descended from a captain in the army of Charles I.

5. The mothers of Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry were both royalties.

6. Benjamin Franklin was descended from the family who had problems with Charles II’s turning the Church of England in a popish direction.

7. John Hancock was descended from one of the noblemen, gentlemen and merchants who believed that precious metals would be found in America. William Hancock invested his money (Adventurer) in the Second Virginia Company in 1609. While in Virginia he was killed by the Indians (1630) and his son came to handle his estate.

8. Samuel Adams family arrived in the New World with some of the very first English settlers. Henry Adams, the family patriarch who arrived in the 1630’s from Somerset, England, likely came as a Puritan religious dissenter from the Church of England. Religion certainly held an important place in the family’s life, as many of Henry’s descendants worked as ministers in the town of Braintree where they eventually settled. 

9. William Penn was given a large portion of land that would settle the Quaker question. Some Quakers had already moved to North America, but the New England Puritans were as hostile towards Quakers as Anglicans in England were, and some of the Quakers had been banished to the Caribbean. Charles II granted the charter on March 4, 1681. Charles II named the territory granted to Penn as Pennsylvania or forest land of Penn.

And there were many others.

Question: Is our government biblical?

When our ancestors rejected God as being king over his kingdom of Israel, which he had ruled for over 300 years, what kind of government did they ask for? They asked for a king like the other nations had. So, God abdicated the throne of Israel and gave them a Monarchy.

Who were to be Israel’s kings? After King Saul disobeyed the LORD God, God chose David to be King. And he promised him that his descendants would always be the ruler of the kingdom of Israel and after the split into two kingdoms, the kingdom of Judah, and later after the captivity of the very small kingdom of Judah in Palestine, the descendants of David would be kings over the House of Israel.

Where did it say that any of the Israelite nations would live in a republic, or a democracy or a socialistic nation or even a communistic one? The nations of Europe have kings that have come from King David.

Question: Was this action good or evil? King Charles II beheaded Algernon Sidney in 1683 for saying that there is no “divine right” of kings to rule over the people. Who in the world was Algernon Sidney?

More about who he was next sermon. But who was right? Was Algernon right? Was Charles II right?

Leviticus 20:24: 

“But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.”

Joshua 23:11-13:

11) “Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.

12) Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you;

13) Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.”

Do you love the LORD our God? Or will we perish from off the land that the LORD our God had given us?

To be continued.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel.
