INTERPOSITION IN AMERICA!
PRESENTED IN IT's ENTIRETY by Rev. Jerry L. Robertson- DIRECTOR of MINSTRY of JESUS CHRIST
With all the talk of Succession, being bantered about, by approximately twenty-three
States of the Republic of the United Sates of America! There is reason to consider the
pitfalls that can occur and possibly some serious repercussions.
Asking the White House to comment on the secession of one or more states, won't move the President, Congress, the Courts,or the military.
But it is symbolic of disgust and exhaustion many people feel as they watch all the ridiculous parleying by the
the so-called professionals, and all those 'Politicians' as they banter about conducting themselves in the crony political class
as they squander their boundless coffers of the last of the contributions, which were so easily stripped from their constituents;
and even those, whom did not have a clue of the continued loss of our liberty's, that have been entrusted in their hands, as
the Administration refuses to observe the rule of law, and our 'Nation's Constitution' !
Succession can be seen a last resort form of "interposition of the lower magistrate". The interposition concept comes from
the 'early Calvinists', including John Calvin. It had a huge influence on our American Revolution. Interposition means that
the chosen leader of a group, IE: (a magistrate, has moved to block the bad actions of a higher authority). Such a leader can
Appeal against bad policies
Organize his constituents
Work to defeat current office-holders
Sue for redress
Launch recalls
Stall or incompletely implement bad laws
Refuse to enforce bad policies
And when all else fails, the lower magistrate can even lead a succession movement. “When all else fails” is a crucial phrase. Thomas Jefferson put it deftly, "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown that mankind is more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."
These were not idle words. America's Founders acted as Jefferson preached. They followed a policy of incremental interposition. Our Founders began with the existing legal framework.
They asked the King to redress grievances. The King's ministers responded with further taxes and regulations. They even charged John Hancock with smuggling.
Hancock interposed with a retaliatory boycott. The King escalated again, He taxed colonial tea to favor an English cartel__an early example of the cronyism that afflicts us even now.
The King then spurned more appeals, so Boston's Sons of Liberty turned aggressive with their "tea party". But even this step was incremental. They only broke one lock and of course, ruined some tea. They harmed no other person or property. Ben Franklin even suggested that the protestors should pay for the tea, and some colonial merchants offered to do so! The British refused to accept it. Instead, the King imposed "Intolerable Acts". This removed Massachusetts' right to self-government. Then ordered that troops be quartered in colonial homes and gave these soldiers immunity, from any crimes that they might commit!
This 'train of abuses' was evidence, that grievances would not be redressed. Tensions heightened. The King then ordered his men to seize all the colonist's guns in the spring of 1775 - something no free people can tolerate. Even then, the colonial response was moderate and incremental. They defended themselves, but did not initiate violence.
The Continental Congress sent an "Olive Branch Petition" to King George. He refused it, and declared the colonists to be in an 'open state of rebellion.' In other words, the King declared the rebellion, not the colonist.
The Continental Congress responded by listing the King's abuses to justify their acts of self-defense. This was the "Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of taking up Arms." This came a full year before the Declaration of Independence. It was another incremental step before the final break. Please notice... The magistrates in this story were patient to the point of plodding; they continued to appeal to the established authority openly and often. This narrative doesn't justify everything the Colonials did during that time. But it does show that the King declared the rebellion, not the colonial magistrates.
This brief history is offered only as a guide for us now.
"CARTS and HORSES" by Jim Babka (Downsizer Dispatch)
I know that I'm frustrated, you're frustrated, we're all frustrated. And at this juncture, Succession seems appealing. Keep in mind, the last secession attempt was established on dubious grounds and led our nation to unbearable destruction. It left a long-lasting legacy of political division and cultural mistrust. Let's not rush into anything, just yet! And put cart before the horse. Skip no steps. First we must Deny Consent, just as the Founding Father's did. Our Founders provided a good model; so to, Thoreau, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King. They showed the power of non-violent tactics. They were incremental. They began small and slowly escalated, as needed. This requires patience. We likely will lose at each step. But this does not mean that we can afford to skip even one step. Suffering will expand in the short term. The political class may use brute force, if it feels threatened. Some may be injured! But all will be lost, if we allow any violence. Please understand__violence is the State's strength and our weakness. Therefore, it is imperative to appear as weak. This is where everyone can experience the 'Power of Jesus Christ', telling His Follower's, to turn the other cheek. It must be clear who the victims are, and who has done wrong. This will cause the wrong-doers to lose support, even from within our own ranks. This will take time. It may even exhaust our options. But exhaustion must come first. We must reach the point the Founders reached, before a resort to succession can work, or even be justified. But when that point comes, public support will follow; since no steps have been skipped, the case will be evident. Denying Consent is the first of those steps. This is no minor matter. Remember: Thomas Jefferson wrote, that the government rest on the consent of the governed. Deny that consent and what does the government rest upon then? The answer is "mere violence".
Our highest priority now is the awakening of all of our neighbors, our families, our co-workers and our friends to the issue of consent.
Awful things are being done in their name and with their money. Do they really consent to this? We must unmask all pretense. The State is nothing more than a corrupt cartel whose policies benefit only a handful of well-connected cronies.
When enough people understand that, things will change. Maybe it will come to secession, maybe not. But other steps come first, and they cannot be skipped.
Above all else, we all must truly understand, that we all stand before Our GOD, equally responsible for allowing our nation to become lawless and totally in rebellion. Therefore, it is necessary for all of us, to examine ourselves, and humbly come before GOD, to repent for the sins of our nation, according to 2 Chronicles 7:14! That GOD, WHO hears our prayer, will heal our nation! I say this to illustrate that the NUMBER ONE__REASON FOR THIS ELECTION RESULT, is more Spiritual, than any of the possible reasons that have been concluded by all the analyst and the columnist who have been able to determine, "What went Wrong?"
As I have found, with GOD'S HELP, with 'HIS REVEALED KNOWLEDGE', we found that in truth, the Real Story should not be that of the demographics nor any other factor behind this election and vote result! The answer is disobedience: GOD's People, which represent a critical-block of voters__STAYED HOME! Although there are many, that attributed the effect of the 'Superstorm-Sandy' as being GOD's-hand of intervention. But in truth this fact is even more staggering__The CHRISTIAN's stayed home, and DID NOT VOTE! There were several who had “PREDICTED THAT THE CHRISTIANS WOULD EMPOWER ROMNEY TO A LANDSLIDE WIN”! In reality, their absence, represented an even more startling and appalling out-come of the final vote! That is representative, of more than the entire State of Ohio, received for all its votes: including Democrats , Republican, Liberals, Libertarians, and Independents combined. Conservative estimates are at 11 Million (Eleven-Million) registered voters that did not vote, of which predominately, would have voted for the Republican Candidate's, with a reliability of 99.97%, that is disgusting. ~ ALL IN WITH JESUS CHRIST ~ Rev. Jerry L. Robertson
As a final contribution__CBN reported from- Franklin Graham: “US Has Turned Its Back on GOD”! as quoted, "Our country is in trouble," he warned. "It's in trouble spiritually. We've turned our back on GOD." "We need
to do a better job of getting our people-the church-to vote," he admonished. "GOD is in control, and the if the Christians are upset with the election, they need to be upset with themselves!"
Comments
GOD's JUDGMENT of America
is in Truth, the Judgment of 'The People of GOD'
(Judgment must begin at the house of GOD-1Pet.3:18)
>Due to our Nations Stand or-Lack of; w/ Israel!
As one of GOD'S End-time Prophet's, I'm submitting this as pertinent evidence that it is time
for us (We-the-People) and our leaders to openly reconsider our history; and the resulting
occurrences that have effected our place in GOD's Plan for the nations of Earth.
As strange as it may seem, most of the citizens, who are the people living throughout this Great
Republic of the United States of America, are vaguely aware that there are many things that
continue to happen ;and that for some reason things do not feel like everything is right. There
is a foreboding that we are living in very troubled times; and there is an alarming uncertainty
that continues to linger in their minds almost daily. There just doesn't seem to be the same aire
of excitement existing, that we all can remember from the past.
To properly set the direction of my comments, I submit the following: To put all things in proper
perspective, this nation came forth, because a rag-tag lot of disgruntled, disillusioned, and for
lack of a better description, mostly abused people, who had never been considered anything, but
unwanted rebellious good-for-nothings, that the ruling Kingdoms considered to be worthless and
a troublesome plagues, to their governments. Most were never accepted by the authorities, and
most were considered a financial drain on the King's resources, and did not agree with the religious
ideologies that were in place by the King's commandment.
Many were sent to the America's as indentured-servants to settle their debts, from debtor's prison;
with most of the traveler's consisting of people who had been persecuted because of their faith and
religious belief's! And this best illustrates how GOD HAS USED the search for freedom to worship
and seek safety for themselves and their families to bring forth the United Sates of America. Early
on there were many Jewish families included, on most of the manifest of every ship that made port.
To quote GOD's Word from the Book of Isaiah 8: A warning to the prophet “GOD IS WITH US!
HIS outspread wings protect the land. Gather together in fear, you nations! Listen, you distant
parts of earth. Get ready to fight, but be afraid! Yes, get ready, but be afraid! Make your plans!
But they will never succeed! Talk all you want to! But it is useless, because GOD IS With us.
With HIS Great Power, the LORD Warned us to not follow the road which the people were
following.” “Do not join in schemes of the people and do not be afraid of things that they fear.
Remember that I, the LORD ALMIGHTY, AM HOLY; I AM like a stone that people stumble
over; I AM like a trap that will catch the people of the kingdoms. (Israel & America)Many will
stumble, and they will fall, and be crushed. They will be caught in a trap.” [Isaiah 8:11-15]
