Thou Shalt Not Kill
“They shall put you out of the Synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. (Jn.16:2)
Christians have a Doctrine of “Eschatology” and the author God, revealed through His son Jesus that the final end of this world will be of Religious in nature. It’s going to be history that men fought war, to possess land, gold, oil, money and other things. It’s going to be now, a war over the Lordship over this world, people and faith.
The so called “anti-christ”, the author of Idolatry will arise exactly during the time of Jesus’ coming to take His redeemed. In no other part of this universe, idolatry is predominant, as it is in India. In the past, this system was asleep. I personally preached hundreds of open air-sermons from behind the trucks of Operation Mobilization in India and with other organizations, openly challenging idolatry. I praise the Lord, for saving my fore fathers from Idolatry, as they were temple priest. And the Lord used and still uses hundreds and thousands of Christian organization, churches, mission agencies and Para church movements to save people from idolatry to serve the Living God!
&nb sp; INDIA BLEEDS
In the recent weeks, Christians face brutal attack from pro-hindu militant groups. Orissa is outstanding with the death of more than 25 individuals. In the past late, Mr. Graham Steins, and their 2 little boys were charred to death behind their pick up truck. Then it was in Gujarat. Now it is in Karnataka and in Tamilnadu. And now it is a daily incident. RSS, Sivsena, Bajrangdhal and other fanatical hindu groups are openly taking responsibilities for this brutality. Remember, BJP, the leading political party which ruled India in the past and who are now getting ready to rule again; is made of a mixture of all these parties. Indian people are naturally very religious and they are very sensitive and sentimental. In order to get their vote bank, this political party and religious set ups, create a situation like this.
Muslim terrorists are killing innocent people in the name of religion. Last week it happened in Delhi. And it will continue to happen. And all these people claim that they are doing service to their gods and their religion a favor. Oh! What blindness!
And Naxalism is another organization, with Communist ideology kill people every where.
Jesus, rightly said, “ Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
&nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; (Mt. 24:9)
Pure injustice
Indian law forbade the activities of all terrorist organizations and organization who promote violence. Unfortunately, they would not forbid any of these hindu killers. But why? The only reason is that out of more then 100 billion people, 96% of them are basically staunch hindus, who practice their religion with an equal commitment.
The Secret of Suppression and the Remedy
Let us go back to the Biblical history! King Pharaoh, suppressed the people of God. And their rights were denied and they were beaten and they were killed. Look at the plan and the secret of God in (Exodus. 1:12.) “ But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the Children of Israel.” Vow! Let us not reveal this to the ignorant killers, lest they stop oppressing us. Oppression is multiplication. And soon the oppressors will wonder of the increase of God’s people, in spite of the hard schemes used against us. And this is because: “Verily verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abaideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.(Jn.12:24)! Yes! It is a proven history in Christendom.
&nb sp; Our Armory Against Oppression
Our Patriarch Moses is a classical example of the hour. He personally dealt with oppression by killing and concealing! But the Lord sent him with a mere “Shepherd’s Staff”. He then went on doing valiantly for the Lord and His people.
1. The people of the living God, shed petty denominational
Indifferences and come under the ( “Shepherd’s Staff”) leader ship of Jesus Christ in unity; in all practical sense.
2. The book of the law must be practiced genuinely – seek the
Lord, as never before, with fast and prayer.
3. Uplift the persecuted, by providing, visiting, writing, giving and sending.
4. Remember the new converts, rural house churches, missions and it’s leaders. They do not have a bishop, diocese or reserved funds to support themselves.
The next target could be Me! Pray that I may stay faithful, till the end. Pray for the associate churches under my care. They are struggling hard. Give a helping hand! Let us arise and build!
